If I were in the market for one of those out of the list, I would check the online dealers first. Check many. Like 8 or 10, for EACH make & model. Keep notes on their selling prices. That will give you a pretty good feel for what you should expect to pay in a face to face transaction.
I'd then head to the next large gun show. Most big gun shows have many dealers that are discounting from the MSRP you see on a manufacturer's website. When you find THE particular gun(or choice of guns) you are looking for, if the price is not within the parameters of the computer search you did.....start negotiating! Tell them you are a buyer....that you have the money in hand, and what is the lowest price they'd take for THAT gun you've taken an interest in. When they tell you, and it's STILL to high a price(based on your computer search), tell them that XYZ.com(or whatever) is listing them for (insert amount here), and tell them outright, if they are willing to sell it to you for $20, $30, $40 or even $50 LESS than what you found on the internet, you'll buy it right now...at this very minute.....
If you're paying cash, go ahead & pull out the cash to prove you're a serious buyer.
If they want to jump on the deal, they'll take it......if they say "no, I need more than what you've offered", then here comes the tough part......
Walk away from the deal. Tell them thanks but I need to spend my money wisely. Thanks but no thanks....then just walk away. Then go to the next seller of the gun you are eyeing, and do the routine all over again.
Chances are you'll get the deal you are wanting, at the price you are willing to pay.
It's negotiating, and horse trading to be sure. But that's the way I've done it since the 1970's. it's worked for me. And I've most always gotten the deal I was after. But I've also walked away from many guns I wanted because the price was wrong for me.
Doing your homework is half the task of finding the gun that's right for you. Good luck!
