I like to buy local if I can but I hit the limit with one store to the south of me a bit. They opened a few years ago and are pretty proud of their firearms. The recent SW Rebate had me stop buy and take a look at a Shield. I found them online for $320 or less with free shipping. I saw one place at $309. The local wanted $389. The price for a transfer was $35 new and $25 for a used gun. Too much for my blood. They are enamored with black guns anyways and if you express an interest in one of the few revolvers they have they pretty much snort at you and treat you like a red headed stepchild.
