Outside of the AK I bought from Atlantic Firearms years ago, and a couple of local purchases, everything I currently own has come from those three places. I've never had a problem with any of them.

My go to is gunbroker. I mainly buy WWII firearms anymore and not very many places carry those.

I'll call him tomorrow. That carry 1911 is $100 cheaper than gunbroker as well.

You won't regret it.

He's a one man operation, though - goes home at night and doesn't work during the holidays.

I've never used gunbroker, although if I can't find any takers for the two I'm getting ready to sell, I may use them for that.

My go to gun dealers:

Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore

Lanbo's Armory

PSA

Simpson LTD (for the old school guns)

I hate palmetto though. They have become so slow with shipping. At least with the two orders I made recently, two weeks for it.

Yeah, now that you mention it, they are a touch slow. I think they're a small operation and get overwhelmed by the volume.

Shit always shows up eventually, though. And they're pleasant enough to deal with on the phone.

If their order volume has outgrown their staff volume, it's time to hire more people.

That's true, but the more overhead they have the less deals they'll have. I didn't mind waiting. It's not like I didn't have other guns to shoot in the meantime. :D

Palmetto is wonderful. Shut your whore mouths.

Palmetto is my favorite place right now, but they are slow.

I pulled the trigger on a 1911. Put a bid on gunbroker for a Colt lightweight commander 4.25" model for $745 and won, OTD price of $780. Cheapest place I could find another one was buds for $832 cash price. I rarely pay cash price and usually pay the 3% fee, which was $860something.

I feel good that I got a solid deal. Put a bid on one a few weeks ago and lost out by $5, ended at $800.

Cool. Commander 1911s are nice carry guns. That's about the same price I paid for my Sig C3.

For my next build I'm looking to create something with more range. From what I've read, it should be between the 6.8SPC and the 6.5 Grendel. Does anyone here have experience with either?
