I don't understand, why would you not trust them and what is wrong with their offer.

I always try to support the local dealers but sometimes buying through the mail can save big $$. Saving 10% off of a 300 dollar gun is only 30 bucks, if it's a 3000 dollar gun then it's $300.00 savings, I'd go for it plus you save the sales tax in most cases. As far a "kicking tires", I was in the computerbusiness for 25 years and while you try to help everyone who contacts you, everyday there were people looking for free technical advice...you don't stay in business doing things for free. Sounds to me like they are being up front and telling it like it is..
