I just bought from Buds in March, and provided they have the best price at the time, I will buy from them again.

Considering I live in Kentucky and can easily make my pilgrimage to the gun store Mecca and can see and handle every firearm my heart desires...I'll probably continue to go to Bud's in the future.

I've used their range and picked up guns via FFL transfer there, but have yet to buy there. Likely will eventually, though.

If you buy from Buds in person, do they still charge the added 3% if you use a credit card?

I have purchased two guns from Buds; the only problem I had was having to cancel my credit card because the number was stolen.

I bought a S&W model 637 from the gunsource.com folks for less than bud's, free shipping, great customer service. You'll notice that their prices are lower on many items, but, they may not have as large an inventory on some items. I don't like that ask Bud, or cash price only stuff, but bud's beats all prices here locally.

i have bought from Bud's a few times and haven't had any problems. fast shipping and good prices.
as far as the cc # ordeal, i was notified there was a breach and they were notifying all customers. it happens with other businesses also.
i'm protected from fraud and false purchases by my credit union. never been charged for something i never bought.

I buy local. My local gun store has a Glock 30 with night sights, latest short frame at $581.00. If I buy from Bud's I have to pay a local FFL $60.00.

I think it is worthwhile to shop locally.

bad experience with a site called
midwesthuntersoutlet.com

I bought my HK through them, and overall I would say don't buy with them unless they have something you really want. Took them 10 days to process my order and another 4 to send the damn thing, plus they messed up my holster purchase and I have yet to recieve it.

Wish buds woulda had what i needed
