+1 on gun shows, I've got some good deals over the years. Usually buying from individuals is where I get the best deals.

Opinions vary.

I've found deals in the same places where I've found things that were way over-priced. Just depends on the day I guess.

This site has turned up some good deals for me.

I don't have time to go to Pawn Shops and have only found deals in the aisles of the gun shows. Last gun I bought my daughter told me about on facebook. Word of mouth also.
Probably bought as many guns here as any place as most have said. No overhead in most cases.

I know you bought at least 2 from here Sid. That's a beautiful Model 29. If you get in a trading mood on it, let me know.

I think every source is my favorite source. My best deals have come from local gun stores, thus I've never found a need to buy online. Also has to do with what I'm usually looking for though - if I were chasing the newest tactical tupperware I might be singing a different tune.

Don't worry, I ain't got the cash for it. I'd love to have it though.

I finds all my stuff in pawn shop. I rarely ever buy a new gun. For me the older the better. I've also have never bought a gun online.

I've been buying from a dealer for about twenty years. He puts things away or calls me if it something he thinksI might like. He gives me discounts on new stuff as well. I tell a lot of people to find a local dealer and build a relationship. It pays for you and the dealer.

If I buy new, I go to Outdoors Advantage here in Amory. John has to order everything, but he will match ANY price.

For new stuff, yeah a good relationship with a dealer is the way to go.

Known crack houses, brothels, casino garages, liquor store parking lots. Plus it helps to know a few bookies and drug lords.
