I was browsing their online selection and they seem to have some pretty competitive prices. Anyone done business with them and have any pro/con feedback?

I've seen good reviews on them but haven't purchased thru them yet. Some of the items on their website are priced well and others are a little high. You still need to shop around.

Purchased.... 5 or 6 weapons from them that I can clearly remember. Never a single problem of any sort. Their prices and selection are so good that whenever I see a weapon for less than the Budsgunshop.com price, I know it's a good deal.

There must be three other threads started on Bud's just this month.

My experiences with Bud's have been good. I especially like the fact that they keep a file of active FFLs they deal with so you can just tell them who to mail the gun to... makes shipping a little faster and easier.

Got my 9th purchase, Sig P226 Elite, on its way to my ffl tomorrow courtesy of Buds. Great experiences so far with Buds.
They have good prices and unfortunately my local gun shops are sub-par.

never bought from them, but based on the fact that they never answer their phones when i call with a question, not sure if i would deal with them.....

Bought my LCP and P95. Fast free shipping to my FFL. What they show is the cash price, I went ahead and paid the 3% for CC.

I've bought a couple of guns from them directly, at their Paris location, and been quite satisfied with the experience. I've never bought online and had anything shipped, though. It's nice to have them just a couple of hours away. Oh, and I've never had any trouble reaching them on the phone, though I'm not sure if I was using the same number as was on their website.

I've spent way too much money at Bud's. Never had a problem with them and will keep doing business with them until my credit card is taken away. Their prices are great and they make is super easy to buy a gun and get it to your FFL.

My most recent purchase was from Bud's. I am very happy with the gun and service that I got from them.

Sadly, Bud's is a bit too good at what they do.
They are a regular beneficiary of my paycheck.

I've only bought one gun from them, a used Smith Wesson 3rd generation. Very smooth purchase and the gun was exactly as described. I would use them again with no hesitation.

I've done business with Bud for 20 years. Always treated fair and square.

It's 9:30pm and they show 1,395 people shopping on their site right now.
For the record they have way too much of my money.

I hate Bud's gun shop. I keep spending money there and I don't think I can stop. I JUST CAN'T STOP!
Seriously, they are good at what they do and I've used them several times in the past for various purchases with no issue at all. They've always shipped what was described on their site promptly with minimal hassles.

They seem to have a good rep with most folks who have dealt with them. Their prices are used a lot as a guide for what a firearm costs. And they will email you if they don't have what you want, 'when they get one in"

I've made several purchases from Bud's and all went very smoothly. They're a good bunch to deal with.

When P6s first started being offered on their site, ordered one and was here in a matter of a few days, very happy with their selection except they shipped a left handed holster. I emailed and complained and they emailed back to say they were shipping a rt. hand one and sorry for not asking. When the holster arrived included was an extra mag, "for my troubles!" Since then ordered 5 more handguns and never anything but very satisfied with their service! VERY honest and helpful folks to deal with!!

I to don't get bud's. It seems to be a good store if you live local to them but there prices are a bit higher or close to the same as our local store and you still have extra's to pay a local to get it in. I just checked 6 gun prices to verify. There has allways for me atleast been a local dealer or two where i can walk in and feel the weapon and then buy it at better priceing.

I have dealt with them numerous times. Just got in a nice used AK74 yesterday from them. I usually dont mess with the new stuff, but I browse the used twice a day

One of the few gun retailers that really understands the current market. They do a great job. I highly recommend them.

We get a lot of transfers in from them, and they're great to deal with.

Never dealt with Bud's, never will. I've read the customer service complaints. This is MY choice. If someone else likes them and wants to do business there, that's THEIR choice. Dont bother flaming ME because I don't choose to do what YOU choose to do.

Judging from the responses so far, they seem to have a lot more satisfied customers than dissatisfied ones. I'm leaning towards ordering a shotgun from them.

I've ordered a few firearms from Buds and have always been satisfied with their service. I find them useful as a guide to a 'good price' on firearms and a place to pick up guns I cannot find locally.

That being said, I've read tons upon tons of great reports, only to ever seen one bad review.
