Re: First Purchase
I recommend visiting a large retailer that will have everything in stock so you can handle it all in one place and compare the way they feel. Some will let you try the trigger some will not take the lock off the gun to try the trigger. I visit and fondle/handle in one place and usually buy at another. I find what I want then find the DEAL on it. A gun show is a good place to buy if you know EXACTLY what you want and EXACTLY what it is worth. Don't just wonder up and slap some money down. You will not get what you want and you will pay too much. I just went to the last gun show at Reliant and found Academy to have a better price and service for the Browning Buckmark I was shopping for. The dealer that had what I was looking for at the show just had a bunch of kids behind the table and they were not friendly and would not budge on the price. I told them I could get it at the exact same price at Academy so make it worth my while and I will buy it from you. Their response was give Academy your business then as they yelled NEXT to get me out of the way. I didn't want it for free but I wanted a better price than Academy would give me or it was not even worth doing business with them. They lost my business that day. I went to Academy on my way home and bought it AND some ammo to go with it. Find what you want then find a deal on it is the way to go.
