Never had any issues with the several guns I've bought from them. Lately they haven't been the cheapest option for what I've been looking for, but wouldn't hesitate to use them again if they were.

Reputable but I’d contend the good prices notion.
Edit: FYI gunzonedeals, lockedandloaded, and grabagun often have better pricing.

I've purchase a few hand guns from them. Nothing but good things to say.
I generally don’t “dicker” on guns - the price is either something I am willing to pay, or it isn’t. That said, I get Glocks at the “Blue Label” price, Springfield Armory at the “First Line” price (which saved me a bunch on the M-1A), and a few others with similar pricing.
That said, I have “dickered” on some high end items, like a watch, and the dealer was more than willing to make an adjustment to the listed price. Being a cash (not credit card) buyer helps, because they are then saving the 3% charge from Visa, which improves their margin.
So, in this case, if you have a local dealer that carries Dan Wesson, it might be worth bringing in the Bud’s Gun Shop advertised price on the gun you want and gently inquire if your dealer can match that. They might. If not, then, they lose the sale and have to settle for the transfer fee.
By the way, I wrote about my Dan Wesson a while back. Now that DW has sorted it, it is a reliable firearm and a real pleasure to shoot. Finely made, crisp trigger, great accuracy.
They stood behind their product and I would buy a Dan Wesson again in a heartbeat.

Buds is good.
Thanks for the info. BTW I asked if they could get close to the price not even to beat it and they were unable.
I've bought a few pistols from Buds and had them shipped to my FFL. No problems at all. They usually won't be the cheapest place to buy from, though.
My old guy before i moved would usually get within what i could buy stuff online and transfer for if he could get it I always gave him the business, and if he couldn't get it he was always fine with me getting it elsewhere.
Thing is most of this stuff goes through distributors and they may save certain high demand stuff for high volume dealers, buds moves enough that they can get stuff the average local guy might not be able to.

Yea Buds is G2G. I just email the FFL that I want to use, and they send it right to them. Never any problems.
I actually just ordered some ammo from them. Prices were good and it was free shipping over $199. Shipped the next day.
