Deal @ buds

[Guest Revelator]

I'm not sure how, but I got this email from Bud's gun shop yesterday. I don't qualify. (Guess I should have gone to work at the DA's office.)Anyone else get it? Pretty good deal, though I'm not sure if they're new or used.

I have a friend thats a pilot I will have to pass this along to him, thanks!

[Guest bkelm18]

Yeah I got that yesterday too.

[GLOCKMEISTER]

be very careful with that promotion, My Intel from last week was that S&W had pulled their 2 free mag promotions. If buds is sending the mags thats one thing, but beware of the coupons. Just an FYI.

[Guest Ctucciar]

My brother is a corrections officer in KY. I'm sure he'll jump on this.

Well $399 for a new M&P is a good deal nonetheless with or without the extra mags.

Thank you for not calling him a "prison guard"! You know that they say that "guards" protect something of value.

I got the same e-mail but when i started looking at the pistols offered it only showed the 9mm & .40cal. did not include the .45. oh well, still a decent deal

sounds good to me too, but after you pay all the applicable fees it gets on up there.

[Angus]

Lets see if I qualify? I am a commercial pilot, just not employed as one.

Unless I missed something - the M&P was already $399 at Academy Sports in Cool Springs the last time I checked (before picking mine up off the board here)...

So other than the free mags - the pricing ain't that big of a deal, IMHO.

[JeffsSig]

399 is shipped. No tax. My local FFL only charges 10$ Plus the states 10$ for one or ten guns at a time.

[R1100R]

The price at Academy for the M&P is 499.00.

[Guest Revelator]

Yeah, I was thinking it would be $100 more at a store. Truth be told, though, if I lived near a place like Hero Gear or Guns & Leather I'd go ahead and pay more to buy a gun from them than buy online.

[musicman]

I think the $399 at Academy may be the Sigma.

Yeah, I usually say and do the same thing. Now I do not qualify for their discount as stated in the email (I get the same emails) but wow, that is a heck of a deal and Just so happens I'm in the market for an M&P.

I have bought several handguns from Bud's and even recieved the same 10% off they usually give to LEO's etc. in the past but it is only on certain items or when I bought 2 at once. Bud's are generally pretty good to deal with BUT I'd rather buy from Guns & Leather, Goodlettsville Gun shop etc. and both have in the past come close to or matched Bud's. Though I then have to pay Tn sales tax, with Bud's I consider the FFL transfer, sending a cashiers check and not getting to handle the exact gun I'm buying. These things may be worth less to some, but it is worth something none the less.

[Guest abailey362]

got the email too. seems that they wouyld have set a filter in their email server to only send to those who had indicated these credentials previously. nothing like telling customers about a great deal, but not letting them have it.

leo's are subject to better pricing than civilians on a lot of manufacturer's and can buy at these reduced prices from local dealers.

As of a few days ago, the Sigma was $339.00 at academy..

[musicman]

my bad!
