Besides Buds, for Springfield I would try:

Impact Guns http://www.impactguns.com/store/springfield_1911.html

CDNN (But you must call the toll free # for price and availability of guns) http://www.cdnninvestments.com/

Look at several dealers in your area for best price from Gallery of Guns http://www.galleryofguns.com/Retailer/default.aspx

http://www.gunbroker.com/

besides the sites already listed, this is the only other one I could think of.

If you know of or have done business with an online dealer, I'd appreciate the info.

I'm looking for a Springfirld PC9802LP, Micro Compact Lightweight Bi-tone Operator.

Thanks in advance.

I've had good experiences with Top Gun Supply.

Check out The Exchange at www.onlinedeals.com . They are great people to deal with and have very fair prices. I have purchased 2 guns from them and will purchase more if the right one comes along.

Big +1 to Top Gun. Got my Sig from them and the transaction couldn't have gone any smoother or faster. I think the gun was shipped the next day!

Do you have a direct link? Thanks

what is the procedure for ordering a firearm online? any special loops one must jump thru?

Welcome from southeast Texas. No special hoops. Have an FFL holder available to do the transfer. Make your purchase and have your FFL holder fax his information to the shop you made the purchase from. Should arrive at your FFL persons home/shop in a couple of days. That's how it worked for me anyhow.
