Display guns

[rskent]

hat are your opinions on purchasing display guns if it's the last one they have in stock?

Unless it was tore up in some way, I would have no problem at all. In fact, I want to handle and dryfire any gun I buy in a store weather they brought it from the back or out of the case.

If I was a collector buying collector guns, I’m sure I would feel different. But I’m not, so I don’t.

I have no problem with display guns as long as I get a bit of a discount. Unless it’s something rare, which is unlikely with current new guns, there is no way I’d pay full price though.

I'd buy one at Bass Pro. They don't let anybody do anything with their guns.

I bought a Uberti cattleman at Cabeles last month. Display model. Like said above they hover over you like it was their first born. No problem for me.

The 2 guns that I bought that were display guns both had issues, so no, not anymore. But I'm very eccentric with my taste in firearms so more often than not I have to custom order stuff...

I suppose I am fortunate enough to know what to look for in the firearms I would buy to know when there’s a disqualifying defect or discountable damages, and I’ve always been bold, yet fair, enough to push into negotiations with a clerk or manager. If they are unwilling to negotiate when a discount is warranted, then they lose a sale.
