What's a FFL dealer? Is this a good route to go for a deal? Will the FFL dealer charge extra?

 

 

Thanks, I've been looking at that site and there seems to be a lot there.

Usually the FFL will charge a fee. It is then up to the dealer with the FFL to make sure the proper procedure is followed once they receive the gun. Most gun shops will do this for anyone for the fee.

 

I sold a Beretta 92 online a few years ago. The guy had me ship it to a buddy of his that owned a pawn shop and had a FFL.

When you're on gunbroaker website if you go in like you're going to purchase a gun at some point there is a place where you can search for FFL dealers in your area. Most of those dealers will also include their transaction prices. Some have no fee a lot are around $25-50. I can't tell you how many night that I couldn't sleep and just browsed that website for hours.

So I woudn't necessarily have to have a pre-existing relationship with the FFL to do a transaction? Just contact them and let them know it's going to happen?

No, you shouldn't. Most dealers offer the service because it's good business.

I would go with the Springfield XD but thats just my opinion based on what I have. It was about $100 cheaper than the Glock and felt much better in my hand.

Exactly, they have to call down to state, not 100% sure but I think KSP pulls up your info they run it thru their data base to make sure you're able to actually purchase a gun. I would say let them no ahead of time just in case they say it doesn't come back imediately approved, but as long as you don't have much of a record it shouldn't be a problem. You'll have to obviously fill out some paper work but its nothing too bad. My first gun I bought a few years back I drove to the store, picked out what I wanted and walked out with it all in about 45 minutes or so and that included them calling for my info.

What caliber? I would kind of like to get a Springfield 9mm just to get something different. I love my Glock 27 though just because its subcompact and I feel like it shoots better than any other gun I've shot thus far. I really just want to get a 9mm because I don't have one yet and I do really like the Springfields.

Mine is a 9mm. I love it. I like the look of the XDM's better and the adjustable backstraps on the XDM, but I don't think the price difference between the XD and the XDM is worth it.

Also I believe you are in NKY, one of the best places price wise around here, IMO, is Quick Cash pawn shop out in Florence. They have hands down the best prices on new pistols, and usually carry alot of new XD's.

Make sure you read up on carry laws.

Oh don't worry Rocket we're all on the up and up on that here. The only places I tend to like to carry mine is church's, places that primarily serve alcohol, court houses, and of course under my pillow at night. Being the upstanding citizen that I am I always tell my friends if they have a hand gun in their car they should keep it under their seat instead of in their glove compartments because thieves never think to look there.

Yup that's wear I bought my G27 back in the Spring. They do have great prices and move a lot of guns there. I really haven't found a store within 100 miles that's had better prices.

Love my Beretta 9MM. All a man needs.

Just go check it out, didn't realize you were in NKY myself. Great prices, if you want to meet up or go to the range and shoot some different stuff first I've got the Smith and Wesson sigma that was mentioned early on and the glock I talked about earlier just shoot me a pm and we can figure something out if you'd like to shoot first. Shooters off 17 in nky will also let you rent guns to shoot so if you want to try something else we can look into that too.
