Make sure you call and check to see if they have the item IN THE STORE before you order.

They tend to take your order, then order from the distributor, then ship it to you. The process can sometimes take several weeks... like it did with my DW CBOB.

Purchased my G38 from them. They had to order but it didnt take any longer than a week. Good price and good selection. Your opinions may vary

I bought my PPK/s from them a year ago and they were GREAT to work with. They do a pretty good job of updating their inventory so you'll have a pretty good idea what's available.

Extremely nice people and service. You'll want to note that there's an additional 3% upcharge if using credit card. Prices listed are for cash only....still, their prices are very good.

I purchased a Colt 1911A1 Commander from them. Great service. Accomodated my payment arrangements and layaway plan. Shipped fast and the gun is great.

I picked up a 70 rep. 1911 and had no problems.

I use them pretty much all the time now. 4 guns and counting.

They seem like pretty good folk; bought a Carbon 15 from then a while back. If you need to contact them, do it by phone as they don't respond to e-mails very quickly.

They seem to have a pretty good price on the Springfield Operator..............888.98..........anyone know of a cheaper price?

If you are out of state - they are great. For some reason they don't care for locals (review pricing policy).

Yes - when I got the same except for a 16" barrel from them for $780 plus shipping.

Also bought a Mossberg 590 and a Springfield M1A National Match.

I'd recommend them.

This is how most small online businesses work. They are just a middleman and you end up getting a package drop shipped from the distributor. I don't mind as long as it doesn't take long to receive what I ordered. What chaps me is when they process your order, charge your CC, then you find out it is backordered when they never had it to begin with. WTF?
