+1 I have been lucky but I can attribute that to buying from a local rural dealer who has been a great help in all of my purchases. He ordered my last XD .45 Service for $480 which was a very fair price. His deals with shotguns started our relationship.Doug Wilson said:I've pretty much always been lucky. Probably could have saved a little on some, but all-in-all, OK.
I don't purchase from internet auctions.
