    Bought a number of guns from Dave's. I usually bought at the end of the year when they had their big sale that brought the profit margin down to a sane level.

    I wish I had a local FFL that didn't gouge me to do transfers. I'd buy a number of guns online from the likes of CDNN and Bud's.

    Daves was so over priced it is not even funny they can kiss my arse. Maybe those idiots would like to explain why Green Mountain guns has been in business longer than they have and have great prices. I might add they are still in business and going strong.

    Places like Green Mountain guns ran them out of business not the big chains. I never understood how they even stayed in business with the prices they had in the first place.

    I would have thought that with Rob of Robs Guns retiring, they'd be better off.

    I think they just used things as an excuse.

    Thier LE discount was pretty good but had to be purchased on department letterhead... no personal weapons.
    I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.

    If you don't mind heading to the Springs once in a while the local smithy there does them for $25 and can do evening hours if he knows you're coming.

    if you don't mind the drive down to the Springs (exit 150) I charge $20 per 4473. Not per firearm.
    I live close to Chapel Hills Mall, so you can fill out the paperwork, go shopping, or eat. Come back and pick up your stuff.
    I am on file with CDNN and Buds already.
    Oh and if you are looking for new stuff, don't hesitate to ask my price

    Dave's was a cool place to go look, their selection was huge. *IF* you could get somebody to come over and show you something.......that was cool too.

    I remember going looking for a Sig 229 with a DAK trigger and was told that the only reason there are DAO triggers is because of lawyers and if I can't shoot as well with a 45 as I can with a 9 I'm an idiot.

    Yeah, they can go to hell.

    Their prices were always higher than in comparable brick and mortar stores, but I did get a sweet deal from them on a S&W 442. Of course, it was during their last gun show, so they had the "going out of business - everything must go" sale. Guess I finally caught them at the right time.

    How many big box, carbon copy sporting goods stores do we need? Is it the Starbucks mentality of one one every block? I guess it's sad to see another gun shop go under but I won't miss Dave's.
