Their MO is getting the money up front and keeping the money until the delivery which is mostly over a month from ordering online to delivery.


They only have one person doing customer service, so their customer service sucks big time.


Once I receive my 627, I will post truthful reviews of their business and will never do business with them again, no matter what kind of deals they offer.

Half the stuff they list is not in stock

I mean a lot of the online folks do that

but this place is the worst

even if it shows in stock online you call them and they don't have it

at least I didn't take them up on their offer to order it

thanks for warning people about that!

I'm back to just using the local dealers near where I live

the problem is that I travel so much though

I like ammoseek dot com. It prioritizes it's listings by price and availability. You can then select a retailer from the list. Never had an issue.


Not everything is available for a reasonable price at my local gun shops. Especially the odd ball stuff like 9mm rimfire, 9mm Makarov, .30 carbine and some of the Weatherby calibers, etc.

Good post Mikey,

A decent weapons shop should be able to get anything.
Sometimes a higher level ATF license is needed.
Sometimes manufacturers want shops that can sell larger quantities of not frequently bought ammo.
Anyway, if your local shop can't get something, find another shop.
Hence Mikey has an excellent post.

My shop can get anything, and he's a gunsmith also. I made a deal with him so I do get good pricing on anything forever.
For smithing, the only work he's done for me is heavy cleaning on used items, and a few trigger assemblies.

I will admit that a shop out in the boondocks is easily a different service level than a city shop where they just want to hear the register ring.
