Outdoorsman just got Shields in

[88E30M50]

I frequent The Outdoorsman a lot and while their marked prices are high, like BBI says, they will deal on most stuff if you ask. I did not notice any change in their prices during the worst part of the gun buying craze and bought an unfired G23 with NibX for $528. That's not the lowest price around, but was also far from being the highest during the sellers market back in Feb/March. The guys there will take care of their customers.

When does it become gouging and the long knives come out to boycott them forever?

I dunno, but priced at MSRP is tough to call gouging. Outdoorsman is higher than some LGS, but still tends to be cheaper than Gander Mountain or the like. There prices have also stayed steady during the "Panic of '13".

I go in once and awhile and look around but kind of got turned off to them when I was looking for a Colt, they were 100.00 more for the same gun over Elmore's right down the street. Either they are waiting for a sucker that doesn't do even a modicum of research before buying or they are trying to get rich on one gun.

I knew someone that used to work for them. Guns had a 20+% markup and ammo was 40+%. They would not budge either. They order direct from the manufacturer on most of the brands they carried. If they are willing to adjust prices to make a sale, their old pricing policy must have changed. They did have a lot of the harder to find items.... But you paid for it being there.

Last time I called them when I was searching for my G21G4, they had one...... for 699!!!

Outdoorsman is my go-to shop for ammo when other places don't have it. It is pricey, but not a lot more than other places that I've seen and they seem to have some actually in stock compared to a lot of places. Also, I go there for my son's football needs. They do a much, much better job than Dicks.

Beech Grove Firearms had ONE Shield in the case as of about 6pm today, marked at $409.

Yes, Outdoorsman is higher, but like Doc says, there is the convenience of having it in stock. Their prices aren't set in stone, either, don't be afraid to open your yap and bargain.

**on edit**
The one at BGF is a .40, they have more on order but only got two .40s in and no 9's.

As a matter of fact, I picked up said Shield from BGF on Sat! Gander had 1 for $450 and Highsmith in Greenfield had 1 for $475. All were .40.
