SW9VE shipping in cardboard boxes?

[infamous209]

I think it shows a companies willingness to go a bit farther than the opposition. For the price of some of these guns it should come in a gold case. I think cardboard makes it look cheap, I vote for the case. If they stop using the cases I want an extra mag!

it could come in a brown paper bag for all I care, I am buying a firearm if I wanted a plastic box I would go get one. Besides those plastic boxes are cr@p anyways.

Didn't know about a poll, but cardboard is fine with me. I have a variety of the plastic boxes around, but never use them unless I am disposing of the gun. Until that time they just take up space and have no real alternative use. Same with Ruger's boxes.

Some day I will probably just toss them.

Send them to me...I need at least one!

All my older revolvers came in cardboard boxes. Some are collectible themselves now. I keep all my boxes and associated paperwork for my own enjoyment and for possible use at resale. My first handgun, a Ruger Super Single Six, came in a cardboard box with the spare magnum cylinder in a red felt bag. I even have the original hang tag from the gun shop. $141.00 !!!

I got my SD40ve new a little over five years ago, and it came in a cardboard box. However, I believe my two inexpensive new J frames, purchased more recently, came in a hard plastic factory case. I'm not sure of the rhyme or reason for these things.

I'm just glad to know that switching from the more expensive plastic boxes to the cardboard allowed the CEO at S&W to get that huge bonus he is accustomed to--Hurrah Corporate Greed!

Personally I like my SD9VE that came I a cardboard box. I don’t think getting it ina plastic box with a handle or not would make me like it more. If I had received it in a plastic box it would,have ended up in the same place the cardboard box went. That was in the township dump. I don’t evaluate packaging when it comes to guns. I just evaluate the guns.

I don't mind a cardboard box versus a plastic box. Now, if they shipped in a beautifully finished wood presentation box, that would be different...

I'd much rather a gun company economize on the package the gun comes in, rather than the parts that make up the gun. Some gun makers only include one mag...and some of these guns are a lot more expensive than the SDVE or M&P series guns (the last time I bought a Kimber, it came in a nice plastic box, but only came with one mag.)

Ruger used to include a huge "boat anchor" padlock with their guns...when I bought my SR1911 a while back, it had the same cheesy nothing lock that you get with all other guns. I don't use those trigger locks on my guns anyway, but the Ruger padlocks were handy to have around the house!

To me the answer.......

Have a universal gun case and put the guns in it when you need them. I got my mod 10 in a box many years ago and thought it was pretty cool for a box. Just make sure that they are sturdy.

I don't know, but when I buy a firearm, that's what I purchased. A firearm. I didn't buy a box, paper or otherwise.
