Any of these friendly FFL's with good attitudes and prices along my regularly traveled route from Monument to the North Co. Springs?

I thought BG's response was spot on...
As a note here:
Bailey Guns did my Kimber Eclipse Pro Carry way back in '04 or so...
I used him because he was a buddy of a buddy - didn't know me from Adam...
I found a great price online ($879? IIRC), called and gave him the pertinent details and about a week later I drove from Colorado Springs to Bailey and picked it up - also picked up a few items that I needed... spare mag, some ammo and targets etc..
I found him to be courteous, concise and an all around friendly guy.
I didn't think about, nor ask for a discount because he was a 'friend of a friend' - I paid what he charged and assumed it was the price he placed upon his time and effort for that specific process.
Yeah - I drove a good piece to get there... but it was a nice drive and a buddy let me drive his beemer, so I had a great time, a good lunch next door and got a good price on the exact gun I wanted....
I could have used someone in the Springs... but hey... WTF.
BTW - Thanks Carl - I still have that one... I will always have the Kimber!

I respect those opinions but also believe there are some folks that would like to approach their discretionary income expenditures more carefully when it comes to gasoline and equipment prices.Quote:

I found out about him here, as a matter of fact. He's kinda near Park Meadows Mall, around I-25 and Dry Creek, I think it is. Just a few blocks west of I-25.Quote:

For the Springs, I found these guys to be great, and that is all they do Transfers, so no running into grumpy Gun store owners [LOL]

If you can afford to buy a gun... you can afford the transfer.
Nitpicking over 25 bucks on a 500 dollar deal is like spending an hour of your time trying to get out of doing a 5 minute task.
Just my opinion.
And you know what they say about opinions.

I think you better check your math...[Coffee]Quote:

Good catch.
900*0.05=45
(yeah it is more than 35 but - just an estimate - 0.04 is 36...)
450*0.08=36
Fixed...
You said .05% and .08%...the correct answer is 4% and 8%.Quote:

Hey, no biggie. Mostly giving you a hard time. [Stooge]Quote:
