Besides gunbroker, Buds Guns, Cabellas, CDN, where are some places online to buy guns? I am gun shy of guns America because of some horror stories I have heard of people getting taken.
 
Gilbert's Guns, JGSales.com, GunsAmerica.com..

I bought a box of Ranger T 124gr +P 9mm JHP from TN's Glibert's Guns. They list many good firearm deals. I considered buying a new in box S&W Military-Police pistol(with ambi safety) last year. The website listed a great surplus NYPD SIG P226(DA-only) pistol for $580.00. ;)
I'd call Gilbert's office 1st since they had major floods in the area.
JGSales.com has many good deals. They are in AZ if you have an issue with it, ;). I get the paper catalog.
I've purchased 2 handguns from www.gunsamerica.com with 0 problems or issues. The first Ruger GPNY .38spl(2006) was from a gent in rural AL who didn't have a fax or cell phone. He was a "straight-shooter" who worked with me. I used a money order and we did the FFL transfer w/o any hassles.

I have bought a number of guns online over the past years, mostly used through Gunbroker or Auctionarms. I have bought some new ones from www.sportingarms.com. Tom and Becky Harris run the business are have good prices and service. I also buy quite a bit off www.onpointfirearms.com. The prices and services are excellent but they have a setup that you have to buy into their system for $5 to get the VIP prices. I will also second the recommendation on www.summitgunbroker.com. Great prices and service. Good luck.

I can't believe no one's mentioned AIM Surplus or Classic Arms.

It would also help to let us know what you're looking for. Also, I believe most major manufacturers will have a link on their websites to look up dealers that are local to you.
 
Lookin..? Lusting:D

No, I am looking for a Sig P220 Carry....think I found that bugger...goin to have to give my first born, but my wife is fertile.:)
 
I've had my best luck by buying at specialty forums from individuals with high post counts who post regularly. People generally don't [you know what] where they live.
 
buy locally ....forget the internet ....

( why would you ever mail a cashiers check to someone you don't know / that has no brick and mortar store ...) and I don't care if its $500 or $5,000 ...and then just hope you're going to get a gun(and what are you going to do, if it doesn't ever show up ??) ...let alone if its not in the condition you thought it was !!

Taking a chance like that - can't be worth the potential savings ...??
 
I'm a little late to this party but I felt the need to give some positive feedback regarding this subject.

I generally try to buy locally if I can and I usually do if it's a used piece off a consigment rack or accessories. However, having said that I have bought at least 5 new guns in the last 2 years or so from The Exchange in Brooking, SD. Their link is www.onlinegundeals.com. They do list in GunsAmerica but will sell directly from their website. Yes, their storefront is a pawnshop.

I usually send an e-mail requesting a quote for the particular piece I want and Jamie sends an e-mail back within a day letting me know if they can get it or not. I then send a money order and my FFL (I'm in Kalifornya) receives the piece within a day of confimation of funds. Smooth as glass everytime so far.

Good luck in your search.
 
Why I avoid buying local FFL shop handguns...

I avoid buying or going into most of the local shops in my metro area.
The sales clerks/staff & mgmt seem either openly hostile, inept, misinformed or lack customer service skills.
Most of the firearm prices are way, way over-priced too.
Don't get me started on the local stores & factory handgun ammunition! :(

I just find a good deal online, set up the FFL deal and make it happen Captain, ;).
