Price shopping for a gun (or many other readily available items), and price shopping to have a deck built (just an example) is not the same thing. When buying a gun (for example), it's an item that will be exactly the same no matter where you buy it, unless it's messed up from the factory. If I buy an XD40 (for example) at Jim Bob's Gun Tavern, it will be the exact same product that I could buy at countless other retailers. there will be almost no chance of quality differences. If something goes wrong with the gun, it would likely be the responsibility of the manufacturer, not Jim Bob's Gun Tavern. On the other hand--If I were having a deck built (again, for example), I wouldn't necessarily look for the cheapest price. Reputation, referrals, BBB reports, ect. would be just a few other considerations worth looking into. Afterall, the person building the deck will be responsible if anything were to go wrong.

No, I wasn't questioning the price of the mentioned store. I was questioning pricing in general. I believe $525 is a very fair price, but if I can find it cheaper, I'm gonna take it for the cheaper price. Call me silly, but I'd rather not throw money down the drain, simply because someone wants/needs to make a few extra buck off me.

If you want a shop that's likely to have what you're looking for, make the trip to Guns & Leather in Greenbrier. In my opinion, they're the best all around gun shop. Very few will have their selection, and most can't/won't beat thier prices. Bellshires Hardware, on Dickerson Rd. (yes, they sell guns) has always been able to beat the prices of everyone around (when I was looking for something), but they lack the selection. I don't mind waiting a day or two for the savings I get with them. Since gas is roughly $3.50/gallon, I'd suggest calling around first. if you're only interested in the LCP, I wouldn't spend $50 in gas, simply to find out no one has one. Again, Guns & Leather and Bellshires would be my first choices. Guns & Leather is more likely to have one in stock. They had 3 of them when I was there last, but they sold right away. Happy Hunting.

She's a keeper, without a doubt. I'd brag, too.

Wonder what happened next? Part Deux?

Don't mean to hijack this love fest, but does this video stop and go for everyone else? For some reason, in the last week or so, it seems as if most of the videos I watch seem to be buffering very slowly. I can;t watch most videos without them stopping a dozen or more times throughout the length of the video.

I know how ones personal ideology can turn things into a heated discussion. Because of this, I still love all of you. You're my favorite bunch of gun nuts...errrrr....enthusiasts I've ever posted with. Still, with the exception of one. Listen to this song a few times, you'll feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

I love this place, and everyone here. Well, except one.

Watching Tony wreck is always a great race.

I find it very difficult to drag myself to gun shows anymore, unless I really need something I'm not able to find locally or on-line. With the invention of the internet, that's become more and more rare. The $8-$10 entrance fee isn't quite an issue for me, but the lack of "deals" are few and far between. I almost never find prices that I can't find/beat in a local shop. On the other hand, if you're looking for a place to simply mingle with other gun enthusiasts, you can't hardly beat a gun show.

Very nice! Congrats!

What you need is more "value shoppers".

I didn't get that deep into the math. I just know the book said their price was $414, and after doing a bit of calculating, she told me the total would have been $525, out the door. No, it's not a bad deal, but I paid $499.XX, out the door at Bellshires Hardware on Dickerson Rd.

Been there a couple times. I thought the whole "Rabbi" thing was little more than a covert internet thing. Nope!

He's gonna love it. Get some pictures to share. Enjoy!

Congrats to father and daughter.

My personal opinion--Go with the XD.

+1 XD Shooter here, too.

No doubt. Don't get me wrong, the old man did the right thing. Can't say I would have done anything different.

I'm not an AK fan, but that looks nice. Very nice job on the wood.

That's like the pot calling the kettle black.

Good for the old man, but stray bullets around a gas station are quite scary.

Damn, that's one ugly gun. Enjoy your new toy.
