Bud's Gun Shop

I have ordered from Bud's 4 times without any problems so far. Coincidentally I just ordered a cheap shotgun from them yesterday.

No problems, but I have started using Gallery of Guns when the prices are competitive. GOG includes state sales tax, and the price is still close to Bud's. Some states not reporting online purchase without paying tax could be a problem.
 
A couple weeks ago I went through the nightmare of trying to buy two Kimber Micro 9 package deals from Cabelas. Package included the two pistols, two DeSantis Mini Scabbard holsters and four extra magazines. This package was in a flyer I got on Saturday and I went to our local Cabelas on Sunday.
No one at Cabelas knew about this special and after I showed it to them I was told to go home and order it on line. Not what I wanted but I did it, total cost with state tax, $1393.00.
The next day I got a notice from Cabelas that the guns were back ordered and I could not get them until around the first of March. I called and canceled my order with Cabelas.
I called Buds Gun Shop. They had everything but the extra magazines. The sales person found the magazines at Midway USA, got the price with shipping, upgraded the holsters to DeSantis Thumb Breaks and with sales tax the price for everything came to just under $1200.00.
The pistol got to my FFL in 6 work days.
Buds did everything they could to get me what I wanted and way under Cabelas price.
 
I wouldn't buy a gun from Cabelas no matter how much I wanted it. They are so overpriced that is not even comical, it's just sad. Then companies like this wonder why these big box stores are struggling to survive. If I'm going to buy a gun online I usually go to Gunbuyer or Grabagun. Most of the time their prices are pretty good.

I have bought 3 guns from Buds, all used and in the condition stated. No problems at all. I will say, Grab a Gun is a bit cheaper. I don't think you will go wrong with Buds though.
 
Local shops here in the DFW area just can't compete or won't compete with online stores so I buy from Bud's. A little slow in shipping once they process your payment but usually gets to me in 5 business days......and no sales tax makes a difference when you buy a 1000 dollar gun.....save some $82.50 per 1000 dollars spent...free shipping so what more can you ask for other than being able to handle the gun in person. But hey I do that at the local gun shows or gun stores. I do offer the local shops the chance to match buds price to include tax but have never had any takers.
 
I've ordered a couple from Bud's no problems at all. Even used their layaway once again, no problems. And recently I traded with "Gurney" that went towards the purchase of a new revolver. Again that transaction went by very smoothly. Response time to my emails was fast, a couple times same day.
 
Have ordered 2 pistols from buds along with some other items .. always great service and saved more then I could else where for the same items ..especially if you qualify for their qualified professional discount ..
 
Same same...I even had a ffl refuse shipment after they sent the ffl to Buds and said they'd do it. Bud's reshipped to another ffl on their dime. Gotta love good service also they have some real good prices on ammo. I needed some Buffalo Bore 38 specials and they were waay cheaper than option #2 plus free shipping?? I always go there first...

That's one thing that cranks my buddy who recently used them. They hit his account immediately, but it can be a week before he gets a shipping notice. "We wait until the payment clears" is the excuse. On a credit card??:confused:

Same thing here in Pensacola, I always ask if they price match with Buds, all so far have declined, most aren't within $100, I would do that to buy local but no takers.
