New Gun Store??
Posted: Tue Nov 10, 2009 2:21 pm
Guys,
Why didn't anyone tell me?? I've been looking all over the net for a Bersa Ultra Compact 9 and NO ONE has any. I called around locally to see who would be the cheapest receiving dealer-Red's wanted $50 to sign for a box, so I called Academy and they referred me to Austin Gun Liquidators. I assumed this was some "used guns out of a garage" operation, but I just needed someone to sign for the box if any Internet dealer were to find one.
I called and he told me $25 to receive, then I ask if he could order the gun (to cut out the $25 fee), he said yes, and just as I was hanging up the phone, I said, "WAIT, do you have a Bersa Ultracompact 9 mm in stock?" He said, "I think so, lemme' check, oh yea, here it is for $389." The store is only 3 miles from my house and had a huge selection of hand guns and even had a Thunder .380 magazine for my wife's gun. He knocked off $20 for a cash transaction and I walked out for $369 (not bad for an impossible gun to find).
Apparently he's been in business for 1.5 years, How is it possible that I didn't know about an excellent gun store just 3 miles from my house?? Even my friends have never heard of it. Around her, it's Academy if you want a good price, Cabela's, if you can't find it anywhere else, Red's if you want to look at it and dry fire it, and McBrides if you don't mind fighting downtown traffic, or visiting their popular Commando Know-It-All geriatric unit.
Embalm Oh!
