Hey y'all, I'm new, and this is my first post. I searched the forum and didn't find any posts on this subject.
I am thinking about buying my first gun. I have been doing research on different brands and models, and I got a membership to a range so I could try things out. My brother and I have been watching all sorts of reviews and videos about proper safety and gun holding technique. He just bought his wife a S&W 639 that is pretty fun to shoot. I got turned on to the ruger GP100. It was great shooting at the range. Its size makes the recoil manageable. Plus its beefy barrel looks cool. I'm pretty set on a 4 inch barrel, but anything 4-6 inches will do I'm sure.
What I would like to know is, where do you like to buy from to get the best deal. It seems like used guns hold there value pretty well on gunbroker and a lot of the sales on there are set close to the price of a new gun (maybe they are asking too much and aren't selling). I'll usually checkout palmettostatearmory.com, but they seem to always be out of stock. Bass pro sells for what must be MSRP. Am I best off trying a local gun shop and seeing if they will be flexible on the price, or maybe a gun show?
