After the $50 Mail in Rebate from S&W, this is only 250 bucks.
If you can find a FFL dealer in WI who wont rape the fuck out of you on transfer fee's, Shooters shop wants 75 per gun as does Badger. Ass pirates.
Anyone know where to get a 25 dollar transfer? Everyone online says thats the average cost, and so far 75 is the number I am hearing locally.

I'd be suprised if Badger was that much higher than Bud's. I know on the XD9 they were right at the same price.
Figure even if they were asking that $25/$30 more, you still come out even and not have to pay shipping or worrying about it?
What was fletcher's at? I know when I had my AR lower shipped I think it was only $30, but that might be because of the rifle.
I know Badger charges $18 for the call in for the handgun approval on top of gun price
Any private FFL should do it for $25-35. There's a whole list of FFL on gunbroker by zip code.

$75 is outrageous
Actually, Coops Brother has a guy that's on the northside that I think does it for $30 for handguns. His name was posted in one of the other threads about being able to get MPD Glock's.
Thanks for the info guys, found a guy in Tosa that will do mine for 32 bucks and both of my buddies for 53 bucks. Sweet.
Badger wanted 479 for the same gun, so their prices were no where near comparable. Shipping is free from Buds, so the 3 pistols cost 906 bucks plus transfer fees.Quote:

Glad you found someone though!
PS - what one is the site linked to? I'm at work and any gun site is blocked.
Buds.
I am probably buying my XD from Coops brother, what cal is yours in and how do you like it?
Sorry, I meant which pistol exactly was the $299?
I bought a Glock 22 off of a guy here at work that was an old MPD gun, so that's my .40cal.
I contacted Coops Brother about a 4" XD9 all black. Gave me a great price. Just I dealt with what you were dealing with, HIGH prices for FFL. I went to Badger to look since it was close to work and they were $489+tax and then no FFL fee. So I picked that up. I'll for sure use Brian for other stuff as all the guys here at House of Harley use him for stuff.
Badger just got a XD40 in and that's $509 and the XD45 was $519, both are 4" all black. I didn't buy the XDm either. Only reason for the 9mm was it's a bit cheaper to shoot and the Glock can be the home defense if I ever needed it.
I haven't shot MINE yet, but I've shot other XD's recently when I was looking for the right one, and I love it. Might just end up getting rid of the Glock and picking up an XD45 in 5" (they actually had a great looking used one for $475, but they were waiting to see if the guy could get his license back since it was revoked, haha)

The Sigma's not a terrible gun but, it's cheap, not just in price. I picked up a Sigma 40 last year when they were $349 with a laser. The trigger pull is 10lbs+ and I didn't like the feel of the grip. The trigger feels "grainy" and has a lot of travel. I was able to make it a little more comfortable by adding a hogue grip. I found a few threads on some gun forums where they modified some of the springs in the trigger assembly. That helped bring down the weight of the trigger. There's some polishing work that can be done to remove the "grainy" feel, but I haven't done it yet. It's not a terrible gun, but I have others I like more.
The others you like more were the same price too I bet, right? :durr This is a great, cheap, name brand gun that will fire when the trigger is pulled.Quote:
