[QUOTE="sailfish, post: 4136276, member: 53248"] Buying guns online is such a HUGE pain in the ass. I only ever do it as an absolute last resort. Even if the gun itself costs a little less, you gotta pay for the FFL transfer. You gotta arrange to have your dealer send a copy of their license to the seller (often a game of faxing, phone tag and dropping off letters; another pain in the ass). Online sellers also always have a "3% cash discount", a euphemism for a 3% credit card fee. Not bad if it's a cheaper gun but on a $850 gun that's almost thirty bucks pissed away, so you gotta either go through the hassle of sending a money order or a check and if you send the latter they often wait a week to ship it to ensure the check clears, another pain in the ass. And after all that you often have to pay for the shipping yourself (not cheap on an overnight with signature required). I stick to my local shops whenever possible. Even if the gun's a little more, I don't have to pay shipping or FFL fees or deal with any of that other :censored:. Plus it helps keep local shops in business. [/QUOTE]
