anyone use grabagun or kyles gun shop.com?

[JONWILL]

I get guns online from Grabagun, Kentucky Gun Company, Brownells, Buds, Smokey Mountain Guns and Ammo.

I haven't had a problem with any of them. Never dealt with Kyles.

Have never used either, but default to Bud's even if the total cost is a bit higher. I know I'll get my purchase within 10 days (on the left coast) and if it's not right, they will make it so. When buying through the interwebs, there is far too much opportunity for something to to awry. Hence, I stick with tried (10 guns now) and true. The only local suppliers I have are chain sporting goods stores, and their selection can't even touch Buds.

+1 for Bud's. When I tried to buy a Browning Buckmark with wood grips a couple of years ago, no local store carried them. Interweb asking prices were ridiculous. Bud's had what I wanted in stock, and priced low.

My only complaint was they took their time sending it to my dealer even after I opted for the "cash" price with electronic check. Of course I also never got to see or hold it until it arrived, so you do take somewhat of a chance that you won't like the item buying it online.

I have shopped both of them along with Kentucky guns, "my favorite", just make sure you know exactly what you are getting. What I mean is the stock picture they use may differ from the actual gun you get. Reasons are many like the company changed the features or color of the weapon or grips, and the picture has the old ones on it.I would call or email them with the exact model color etc of the gun you are about to order. Just for conversations sake, the shipper may be at a different location "wharehouse" from the actual person taking the calls, and they do a high volume business to be able to undercut everyone so the person answering the phone will usually not know what you are talking about, just ask for someone who can assure you that you are getting what you thought you were. Like a 357 I ordered showed a picture that looked nothing like the gun they sent me. It was upgraded during the procedure, I didn't like it, so I sold it, luckily, or would have sent it back, "which is a pain in the butt with guns as you may know". It's pot luck with shipping, they listed my FFL, a week later when I got an email saying I should pick an FFL, when I told them I had done that at the date of sale, they looked and realized that my FFL hadn't been updated, which delayed shipping 2 weeks.

I've purchased from Grabagun three times. I've read plenty of stories about slow shipping, but twice I've gotten the order a day early. I'd never hesitate to recommend them, but my experiences might be vastly different than yours.
