Buying a handgun...

[Captain Ahab]

I think you should start a thread selling the gift card for it's face value and saying the purchaser needs to drive you your residence to pick it up.

What are you going to buy? Please tell

JK, give Scheels a call and ask them if they will let you use a $250 gift card for Cabelas in their store. You might be surprised at the answer! I have done this with success in the recent past on some depth finders!

I may swing in this evening, and talk to a mgr that I've known since we were kids. I'd much rather buy it locally. Easier, simpler, quicker.

KY Windage: I'm looking to get a Springfield Armory XDS single stack 9MM, with the 3.3" barrel, with the FDE frame. Thinner and lighter than the G19 that I have started carrying while fishing solo at night.

Find somthing that is cheaper at Cabelas then Scheels and over $250 order it and then return it at Scheels. Might even make a buck or 2.

I'd also like the purchaser to bring me a thank-you card, as well as takeout from Big Boy.

Sell giftcard for face value and buy gun at Scheels. Problem solved.

I'd NEVER buy a giftcard from someone I do not know, at face value, nor offer much money for it at all. It could be a card already used, or it could be a card negated electronically by the company and when used online it comes up as $0.00 value. Nope, not worth it.

If you have a $25 gift card I'll likely offer you $5 and take a small chance like that!

yea but, it's jay kay.. have a heart man

Why in the world would anyone pay more then $20 for an FFL transfer? Jays pawn only charges $20 and another guy in town charges $15. Seriously, Scheels would be my last option to handle an FFL transfer, they are the absolute worst to buy guns from.

 

[Captain Ahab]

Just PM me the numbers on the card and I will let you know if I am interested.

Yup, I follow your line of thought. I wouldn't either, unless I knew the cat personally. My hands are kinda tied on this though. The card was a gift from my folks. Never thought I'd ever had a tough time figuring out how to spend money at a quality sporting goods store. this is new territory for me...

Shes a 'beaut Clark, got the same thing and absolutely love it, and yes, I also have had several glocks, nothing wrong with an xd in any make/style, I shoot better with the xds than I did with my 23c, 26, or 27 but that's a shooters preference probably more than anything

 

[huffranger]

Single stack like this ??

 

[JayKay]

Single stack like this ??

purty darn close. I think that one in particular might be a regular XD. It would match the rod-sock you bought me though...

The term "rod-sock" makes me smile...

 

[huffranger]

Rod sock would be a good user name

 

[svnmag]

"Rod Sock" would be cool.

I find it amusing (not wrong) concerning all the new excitement for the 9. How many years before the next .40/.45 retro?

 

[huffranger]

The nine is cheap and convenient for me. No where does it compare to the 40 or 45 unless were chatting about mag capacity..

Yup. I have a Colt 1911 as well, and is more costly to play with. 9 is less expensive, and honestly, I'm a better shot with it. Plus, yes, more in the magazine.

 

[svnmag]

It's all good. It's the buzz generated by the FBI switching back I find noteworthy.
