Low priced model 10's from KY Imports

The only thing I have heard is that they may tend to err on the good side when grading the guns. Their excellent may be closer to "good" etc.. Do a search about them on this forum and on groups.google.com (search rec.guns) and you will come up with more info than you ever needed regarding KY Imports.

Ah damn, damn, damn...
They have a 4586 for $319...
Ah hell...
I can't believe I'm going to do this... I do NOT need a double-action only .45 right now...

Don't get too upset yet Mike, I've called them on three guns over the past two years and every time it was "out of stock".

I have dealt with KY on two occasions. Once in person at a show in Ohio when they took a gun in trade on another and I was happy with the deal and once when I had an FFL years ago I bought a M469 from them as a present for my father-in-law. Used gun sold as good and it looked like new when it arrived.
$170 on a HB M10 is OK price. I have never heard of a Heavy Barrel M15, though...

I have bought a few items from KY Imports so I can probably comment on this question.
First, I agree with the comment that they tend to be pretty optimistic on their grading of guns... on the other hand their prices are usually on the low end too...so maybe the exaggeration is tolerable. Just be aware, what they call VG is probably not what you call VG. If that is ok with you at the price quoted, then you are ok.
Second, their telephone clerks are absolute air heads. I wanted to buy some S&W cleanng kits with screw driver from KY. When I called, I was told they had no kits left with the screwdriver...but were still selling kit for the price that was quoted for the set with the screw driver.... When I explained the set was more expensive than the price for the individual componetnts in their ad, I got the equilivalent of an audio shrug... I'd say she was blond....but my wife might read this... and I'm not THAT brave.
Basically, I can't say I think they are dishonest, I just don't think they are overly professional, and don't sweat the details that mean so much in this hobby. Their customer service is quite underwealming.
