Someone please talk me out of it

 

[cobber]

Don't do it!

Feel any better?

I'd jump on that yesterday if I hadn't already bought one at the outrageous MSRP.

 

[nrgrams]

Do it, do it, do it!!!! Actually, buy 2 at that price!

Here, give me your money so you'll not be tempted later.

That is an excellent price! Don't forget to add up all of the costs. 360 + 15 (shipping) + 25 (FFL transfer fee) = $400 total.

Bob in Plainfield had one last week for $399 + 28 (7% sales tax) = $427.

I would buy it if you where considering one and had the money.

I think you came to the wrong place to have someone talk you out of it! Don't underestimate the powers of INGO!

 

[BoilerWes]

Or you could buy USED on INGO or Armslist classifieds for $450 plus

for 27 dollars why not support the local guy?

25 ? I'm paying 10. Plainfield is great and for an Impulse buy I'm Good to Go with Bob

Or why doesn't the local guy cut his price 30 buck and support his customer base?

Because a large volume dealer like PSA is getting those pistols at a MUCH lower price than LGS, much, much lower!

He doesn't get to keep the tax. If you buy from PSA you still have to claim the purchase at the end of the year, so why does it matter if you pay it now or then?

A lot of new guns only have a 10-15% profit margin. At that price if he pays the tax then he makes no money, and no business strives to break even.

I actually ordered 2 yesterday. Got one for my wife & daughter.

Playing devil's advocate... I can ignore the INGO site supporter to support the local gun shop that isn't a supporter? It's a moot point for me because I don't really consider Plainfield as local (40 miles one way, so consider gas & time), but, still... A local shop / FFL would still be getting the transfer fee. Spread the wealth around

Indy Gun Safety has the .40 Shield for $380. Good thing, for my wallet, that he doesn't have the 9!

I really want to see what Glock comes out with at SHOT, but this is real tempting.

I am not a savy gun salesman, so I don't understand how new guns only have a 10-15% profit margin when the prices at gun stores around town are all over the place. I'm not trying to pick a fight, I'm genuinely curious. Who sets the prices for the gun stores? Are they purchased directly from the manufacturer or through dealers?

Most gun shops buy threw distributors. They can sell at what ever they want, but they typically mark the item up x% and thats what it sells for. Every shop has a different markup percentage. Online shops mark up less for obvious reasons. If someone expects the local guy to pay the tax for then you can subtract 7% from the original 10-15% they marked it up.

The shops around town that have higher prices are either figuring in for negation, have a higher mark up, or are paying more threw the distributors.

I'm the same way. I really wanna get a 19, but I wanna see what they come out with before I commit. But I need a 19.

Rural king here had them for $350, but that deal is gone now I believe. With tax, that was $374.50 out the door.

Interesting, what Rural King sells firearms? The one I had been in sold ammo and gear but no guns.

The Bloomington one for one example.

I may want to buy a Shield, but I really would like to handle it first. I am trying to figure out the best gun for me to carry concealed. If it ends up being a Shield, I hope I can find a deal when I am ready.

Maybe I should try to trade my full size for a shield. Hmm....
