First of all your pic is awesome. I have found what I want from almost every site just everybody is out of stock. Seems the sites that are lower then others make up for it in shipping

well In almost every website everyone, including myself, have listed. I put everything I wanted in about 3 separate carts then started calling. I came to find out EVERY website had items to order they verbally told me were out of stock. I was kindly directed to a post about Optics Planet being bad about letting you order then showing it out of stock so it made me call around.

Natchez
cops plus
Opitcs Planet

Were all guilty of this. I was talking with a friend telling him what I found out and he told me he gave up on midway usa for not only the lack of stock they have, but he ordered something at once then a week later got charged again because at the time of order it was "out of stock" so they charged him shipping again etc.

I have come to the determination any website is capable of this, it is how they fix it that will determine my business. I had the same thing happen at Bass Pro Shop. I was looking for some new hunting boots and it was a toss up so I decided to pay 10 bucks more for the ones at Bass Pro because of some reason or other anyways almost exactly 5 hours later I got an email telling me I ordered an item that was out of stock and would not be in for over a month. I went back to the website and it was still showing for sale. So I called them and asked them whats up got a crap reason why they still will continue to show the item in stock and why it took 5 hours to let me know. So I guess one mans trash is another mans treasure.

Thanks for all the help. In the future apparently I will need to call every single sight before I order online. Atleast the Cheaper Than Dirt website shows they are always out of stock or list an item just to say they no longer sell it?? Thats pointless and funny. Need hits on your site much?

I really wish Primary Arms had more to offer for pistols. They are mainly for AR's. They are awesome to deal with. I haven't had any luck finding anything similar to them for pistols.

I buy a lot of gun parts from http://www.topgunsupply.com, been very happy with their service, and their shipping is crazy fast. I swear half of my orders are at the front door by the time I click submit.

Just a note: don't bother with the 5.11 Double Duty TDU. Don't get me wrong: for it's purpose, it's fine.

But as a gun belt, it's too thin and insubstantial.

The Gander Mountain near me has scads of 5.11 TDU belts and almost no Trainer belts. There's a reason the 5.11 TDU belt is 20 bucks, and the Trainer and Operator belts are $45.

I'm so addicted to amazon prime.

It will be a sad day for my household when they start charging tax. Free 2 day shipping is still awesome. And ordering from the iPhone on a whim cany be beat.

I've bought mags, mag pouch, slings, grips. Bail out bag, trauma kit, boots, gloves, under armor, shoes, handcuffs, cuff case, cuff key, etc, etc.
They are my first stop.

That app is dangerous with the one click ordering.

Wow that's crazy I was thinking maybe it was to good to be true but I ready it will hold the weight pretty well. That's what I was hoping to find one place to get everything that way if I had to return it wouldn't be a headache

I've ordered stuff from Natchez for a couple of decades. Never had any trouble with them although, as some one above said, their website isn't the best. I've also ordered from Midway several times. It does bother me that so much stuff is shown out of stock, which really isn't their fault, and their prices do seem a bit high for internet.
