    plus $25 transfer has got you beat. That took me about 10 seconds to find and frankly didn't look at other retailers.

    if you're in south denver, J&J has transfers at $20

    Buds price listed is the cash discount price. So if you add 3% that's $515

    Don't forget to add the transfer fee. Another $20-$30 and have to wait a few while it ships from buds. I would rather pay the difference and have it the same day and support a local business.

    It still runs $500 range from buds. The $531 includes tax. For a few dollars more i prefer to give my money to a local business.
    That is something we hear about in threads here, how we need to support our LGS. So save a few dollars and order from Buds or buy local. That is a personal choice.

    You forgot to mention the Glock listed only comes with 10 round mags. Add a few 15 round mags and you're in the high $5-600 range now. Yep sure saved a few dollars.

    Bear Arms has taken care of me since they opened, done me right on NFA items as well as transfers. You either like them or you don't. YMMV.

    This could be worse, it could be jensens.

    fair enough on the 10 rounder. i did a search and grabbed the first link i saw. i haven't gone back and looked for 15 rounders. However, allegiance to local dealers wasn't part of the challenge--it was can you beat that price online, and yes, i think you can--even paying the transfer. Now, like you, if the difference in price amounts to $6, I'd pull the trigger locally.

    And, I've bought from Bear Arms before (having driven up from Englewood), and sung their praises on this and other forums. None of that matters, really, when determining how ignorant their policy is because there are plenty of folks that aren't that petty that are alot closer to me that i can deal with.
