...I'd probably only buy off of GB now (for firearms) based on the rarity of an item.

I've kind of come to this place myself.  It's rare (not unheard of, but rare) to actually get a "deal."  There are 10,000 gun shoppers out there, all with a good idea of what a gun is worth, pursuing the same dream.  Most of the time, it seems like you save a few bucks for the privilege of buying abroad.

However, if you are in the market for something other than the mainstream, GB is about the only way to go.  I own a Browning Challenger II, an ancestor of the Buckmark, and the last .22 handgun Browning made with a steel slide.  It is, bar none, the sweetest shooting handgun I have ever fired.  I introduced an anti-gun friend to shooting using this gun, and then nothing would do but she have the same model.  Where do you find a gun that's been out of production since 1982?  GunBroker.

To be honest I have only checked Gun Broker for my latest purchase. While it was cheaper on Gun Broker, after I included FFL fees and shipping, Carter over at OGC gave me the same price (within a couple of bucks). I'd rather give my $ to a local store. I would check out the prices on Gun Broker and add $100-$125 for FFL and shipping and then give Carter a chance to match that price.

Plus OGC is an authorized warranty provider so if I have an issue I take it to OGC and they handle it from there rather than my having to deal with S&W directly and ship it myself.

Agreed and they got no problem in doing the transfer if you go trhough gunbroker.

Question who is willing do a FFL transfer on the island?

I know Daniel up at Kaneohe GS don't like or want to do FFL transfer.
OGC does it for $40 last time I check.

If youre on the leeward side X-RING does. $50

Big Al - Ready on the Right in Kailua.  I was talking to Al one time when picking up a rifle.  I forget how many transfers he told me he does in a year, but it boggled my mind.  Choke transfers man.

Big Al is the man.  He pretty much makes his living doing transfers.  He is one of the few grandfathered home FFLs in Hawaii.

This auction was No Reserve that is why I watched it so closely to see how much the price would be driven up in the last minutes. 

If 42itus was able to get his Sig for $810 from OGC, then I may buy it from them.  For me to own all the guns I want I need to look at all my options.  If that means shopping here and buying online so be it.  Someone here will still get the FFL transfer fee and of course all my ammo is bought here.  The only thing I worry about is if something goes wrong or if I have a problem having local support is a big plus.  That is why I buy all my tools locally even if it is cheaper online.

If you want to shoot it I might go to the range on Sunday.  If you think you're going to be there PM with your # and I'll text you if I go.  Because I live so close I often leave right away if there's any wait.  Anyway,  I like it bettr than my P30.  I'm still on the fence with the H&K but as far as the E2 I'm glad I bought it.  If OGC still has one you should ask if they will give you a sale price.  I know when they came back from SHOT they had a sale on their SIGs. 

I was on gunbroker.com and was chatting with this hot chick and then she ended up at my house. ...

Quoting so you can't get rid of the evidence

I used gunbroker for 3 gun purchases.  I was burned on 2 transactions.  Both the guns that was sent to me were bought with the impression that they were new, but they definately weren't.  One of the guns, a revolver, looked like it had hundreds of rounds put through it.  The other, a springfield emp, had some type of amaturish type of engraving from what looked like a dremel inside the slide.  The gun was having a lot of fail to go into battery problems and i think the previous owner engraved a number on the bottom of the slide to shave the top of the casing off every time the gun is cycled to try and get the cartridge to feed right.  needlessly to say he failed and probably sold the gun to the dealer that sold it to me "as new".  The 3rd transaction, which was actually my first gun purchased through GB was great.  Bought a kimber tle/rl II and the gun came in perfect condition and has been shooting great from day 1.  I also saved $300 on the kimber when comparing it to ogc's price.  Don't get me wrong though...ogc has the best prices i've seen locally and i have bought many guns from them.

I got my SIG P226 9mm for $799.79 (found the receipt) at Young Guns. I asked about it at OGC but their lowest price on it was over $900.
Specs here http://www.sigsauer.com/CatalogProductDetails/p226-extreme.aspx

Likewise, Security Equipment Corp was about $100 cheaper than OGC, Gun Source and Young Guns on a different gun purchase. Each store can work out different deals with their distributors, some can even beat Gun Broker prices. Just shop around and don't be hasty.

That's a deal!  I was debating between the E2 and the Extreme but went with the E2 mostly because of the grips and the lower price.
