Has anyone ever used www.sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore.com looking for feedback good bad or whatever.

I have purchased ammo from them with no issues. As a cautionary note, they send a ton of email once they have your email address so be prepared to clean your inbox regularly.

I have bought several firearms from them. Every single one went without a hitch. Shipping on firearms is always fast and free. Their prices are hard to beat. They get in good trades as well. I think Alphabrew buys from them as well IIRC.

Several orders have arrived at the FFL the next day even though it was sent 2 day. They don't mess around when it comes to getting an order out the same day.

I get 1 or 2 emails a week from them. Not bad compared to Midway who sends me 4-6 per day. :mad54:

Agreed.

But I have successfully gotten off their mailing list for excessive junk mail.

They carry a fair amount of surplus and oddly interesting items, very shooter friendly too.

I have bought two handguns from them, both shipped fast and without a hitch. Both were the best prices available at the time. Would not hesitate to buy from again.

no problems at all with any purchases.

BUFF7MM · Dec 28, 2016

No problems here either, never really noticed a big spike in emails, they must all go to my junk box.

I purchased a handgun from them and was very pleased with the transaction.

Same goes for midway, psa, grabagun, classic, SOG, Brownell, etc. Not terribly hard to unsubscribe though.

Hows does it work with shipping to a place and setting up for pick up?

Stop by the shop that you would like to transfer to. Ask them for their transfer policies and fees. Many times websites have outdated info on this stuff and an in person conversation will ensure an easier process.

This 100%.

And don't be surprised if your local gun shop isn't thrilled to do the transfer, because if they could get the gun and sell it to you, even if at a slight markup, to me that's better to support your local shop. Lest they go out of business, and then you have no local shop to have hard to find guns shipped to or place to go to have serviced, ask questions or help newer gun owners.

I can't speak on behalf of any IPs, but I know some of them have this policy. My LGS down here is all too willing to transfer anything for $20 and thank me for my business every time.

Agreed.

I've generally found that newer or smaller FFL's charge a bit less and are more eager to do transfers. Probably in the hope of building a loyal constituency for better profits/service in the future. Its normal, and over time they have to balance costs with profits (basic supply/demand).

Pinecone · Jan 1, 2017

If it is something they can order, I use the LGS. Even if I pay a bit more (and normally it is the same or less adding in shipping and transfer fee).

But when it is something they cannot order, they are happy to do the transfer.
