They had what I wanted when nobody else in town did (Performance Center Shield in 9mm). It's definitely a different way to buy a gun, if you know what you want and aren't kicking tires it's great. The transaction went smoother than any other gun buy I've done before.
I hate crowds and a bunch of look-e-loos at gun counters that never seem to buy anything, all they do is get in the way so this is an awesome way for me to buy.
