    Recommended online gun shops

    Due to having a hard time finding the pistol I am looking for in local shops I will most likely be purchasing online. Any info on online dealers that forum members have had positive experiences with would be a big help before I purchase.

    Lots of them use gunbroker. If you are still looking for that Ruger, Lipsey's is known to have a lot of Rugers.

    I'd look on Gunbroker. I've been able to get a better price there.

    V,
    Have you looked at Giser's Guns in Sunbury.
    Hummel' in Globe Mills, Dwight usually has a few assorted 45's (call and make sure he's in that day).
    Troxells on old 15 north of Williamsport used to have lots of hand guns, haven't been there for a while though.
    All within reach for ya.

    I've used Buds twice for guns, no issues other than shipping wasn't lightning fast. As a side note, a couple of years back I was shooting slugs for deer on the base and had noticed different lots required minor scope adjustments. I ordered eight boxes from buds and requested matching lot numbers. When order was received all eight lot numbers matched match. Not a big deal but they made sure I got want I wanted.

    I have heard both good and nightmarish stories about Buds.

    Bud's has been reliable for me. They have a very stupid gimmick (that "bidding" system where you keep putting a price in until it tells you it will take it) but their shipping is fast and they are HUGE, definitely the largest online gunstore.

    If you can hit their closeout items you can save big money. They also are set up to send items to known dealers in your area through agreeing with them ahead of time, and they will call you when it arrives.

    gunbroker.com usually nice pitchers and details. Lots of guns, easy to navigate.

    This. It's a mixed bag. Seems to be a hate or love relationship. I have had no issues with them in the past. What gun are you looking for. Is it something new or catalog orderable

    Bud's has always been good to me. Only had a problem once and it was taken care of with one call and to my complete satisfaction. Thanks Bud's GP

    Woodbury's treated me very well.
    Davidson's (Gallery of Guns) looks good on screen.
    Got a first try in transit from Bud's... film at eleven.
