Guns.com Is Legit?



A little while ago, I noticed several websites and forums of people asking if Guns.com is legitimate or not.

It so happened that I bought my Winchester Model 12 shotgun through them last month. Earlier that day, I bid on one over at GunBroker.com. I was the top bidder for most of that day, but eventually others started bidding on it about a couple of hours before the bidding closed. I decided to set a limit on how much I would bid. It eventually went to someone else for $445, way more than I was willing to pay.

Right after that, I then went over to Guns.com and spotted one for $100 less than the one at GunBroker. So I bought it. The price they posted for the shotgun is what I paid. There was no bidding involved.

I had them ship it to Loeffler's Guns in Grants, New Mexico for the FFL transfer. 

This is what they describe on how they operate:
Simply enter in your credit card information and check out. We even offer financing options to help you buy now and pay later! Once you've made your purchase, Guns.com handles everything. We coordinate the transfer, paperwork and shipping to ensure your gun is safely delivered to your FFL on your behalf.

The transfer went smoothly. My only gripe was that they took longer than I expected for them to ship the shotgun to Loeffler's. It was probably due to the sale taking place during the weekend. Other than that, I have no other complaints. I found their prices to be lower than at GunBroker, where one is at the mercy of other (particularly last-minute) bidders. 

Would I use them again? Yes, if they have a handgun or rifle I am particularly interested in and if the price is right. 

So, to answer the main question: yes, they are legit!
