So now the wait begins or perhaps continues but the light at the end of the man hole cover is in sight.

Hope your wait is short and tolerable.

$328? Is that a "make an offer" deal? Their website is showing $350 retail $340 cash for the CW9.

A CW9 is the next Kahr on my bucket list. Just got a CT380 from Bud's a month ago - $289, + $25 FFL transfer fee.

$15.00 FFL transfer fee... I need to move to NC!

Congrats on your new Kahr. Hope it turns out to be everything you hope for and more.

It was on sale for 333 and 328 was the best I could get. Best local price was $400 OTD but that was one with a bronze colored slide which didn't work for me.

You would be welcomed. My wife is a Realtor and has in fact sold a house to a couple from Conn. We live near an area called "The Triad"....Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and High Point. An hour to the Blue Ridge, 4 to the beaches. Good motorcycling country.
CC permits are easy to get, or carry openly without a permit in most areas.

I love the Carolinas. [Marine Corps boot camp in SC and then basic infantry training in NC and then back to SC before discharge in 1966.] I'd make the move but my wife wouldn't because of not having family or friends there. We are looking to make a move, if we can sell our house, to central PA where my wife has family. Because of outrageous taxes Connecticut is a tough State for retirees on fixed income and now with its draconian gun laws it is time to move. We're figuring about 6 grand more each year in our pockets by making the move to PA.

Moved to Georgia 11 years ago from Upstate NY. Only regret is not moving sooner. In looking at houses we were shown the estimated real property tax. I asked if that was a quarterly estimate. Lower taxes, higher temperatures. Gun laws are very friendly. No one in the south dreams of retiring to the north.

I have a new gun at Buds shipping department too. I like dealing with Buds e.g. no sales tax, free shipping, discounted price, and you pick your own FFL. What's not to like?

Couple years back, was looking for a shotgun for trap. Found a used one in almost new condition at my local Cabelas. Showed the Buds ad for the same gun (new) to the manager and asked if he could match the price. He couldn't so I bought from Buds and saved a whole bunch to boot. Buds is my first stop whenever I shop for a gun.

I have used Bud's numerous times, with no complaints. Smooth transactions buying, selling, trading. May not be the fastest, but they sell a lot of firearms, so a bit of slack is needed.

My one and only experience with a firearm purchase from Bud's was excellent. Mine was received 2 days after it it the shipping department. That is why I said in an earlier post that you should have it by Wednesday. So, have you received the tracking number yet?

Not yet...been watching my email all day in hopes. ha. Maybe tmr. We're in for some really cold wx for the next week so I doubt I'd want to be outside shooting. Would give
me plenty of time to do the fluff and buff. Prob pop off a few out the back door. Want to try the Freedom Ammo I ordered; a couple guys on THR commented they had not
had good luck with it. I've shot one box in my Ruger LC9s with zero problems but then
the Ruger has digested anything I put thru it. Its going to be a hard one to replace.

I emailed them Thursday asking why it was in "shipping" all week, so they mailed it today, Friday, scheduled to arrive Monday 12th.

Even tho its too cold to shoot outside, when I pay for something I want it ASAP.
Next time I'll pay the few bucks extra and buy local. Lesson learned.

To date, I've always bought locally. I don't mind paying a little extra to support someone from my own community. I want them around in the future. Truth is, I've found some great deals on used firearms that way. Much better than what I've seen online. But I'm glad you will have your new CW9 soon. Enjoy and be safe.

Palmetto State Armory has been having some great prices on various Kahr models the last few months, I'd keep and eye on them. Right now they have a couple of .40's on sale.

Too cold to shoot, so what's the difference? I'm sure you can find something else to fondle in the mean time. It's not Bud's fault that you have no patience. Yeah, I'd pay the extra money, and get it locally.:p

I placed an order on Monday and it still shows processing. I called and was told that they are swamped with orders from the holidays. I think they really do not stock the guns they say they have and it takes them a while to source them when they sell, then eventually they ship them out. Doesn't seem to me that it takes that long to pick up a box and put it in another box and mail it out. ;) They are real efficient at charging your credit card though!

Got my CW9 from Palmetto earlier this year, for 289.00 shipped. Didn't need another backup but at the price was to hard to pass up. Good dealings with them but I have bought from Buds in the past and have had no issues. My FFL buys ALOT, from Buds, so maybe his orders get shipped out sooner?

Thats the way I felt about it too. That charge was made instantly that Monday and the same day said it was in the shipping dept. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, nothing!
Finally late Friday I get the shipping notice. If they're running a back log, that's ok too, but put it out to those of us who bought. I get emails from them very day advertising their specials. I think I had every right to be a bit impatient.

Anyway, it will be here tomorrow and meanwhile I picked up a set of Lee reloading dies, a bag of cases, and 1000 115gr jacketed HP's today. Gonna bring my Dillon in
from the shed to set up in my gun room. I have plenty of powder and primers but have to get the shell plate before I can actually start. I'm trading a 45Lc for a 9mm so it'll be
a week or so before the exchange is done. A local guy was moving out of town and put
all his stuff up for sale at decent prices; thats why I bought the HP bullets from him. He said they had worked well in his CW9.:D

Buds is a pretty large operation...I bought my CT9 there using the free layaway option. No problems in delivery. I'd expect things to ship a little slower around the holidays. Palmetto took a few days to get my 399.00 P238 to me but for that price I'll wait a few extra days.

In fact I have a P9 on layaway at Buds now :)

A little patience and you can save a ton. 25 or 30 diff I may buy at LGS. 75 to 200 I'll buy Internet 100% of the time

I live equal dist btwn Lex and Salisbury and Buds listed various places with FFL's on file. I chose Poppies, just on other side of Salisbury, Webb Rd and RT 29, as I've dealt with them before. Buds said they charge $15 if you have CC permit.

Been riding a Can Am for last several years; haven't been on it lately tho! When it gets below 40F thats my cut off point.

I recently ordered a 10'' metal plate and stand holders but haven't put it togather yet. Figured if I can't hit a small target, maybe I can hit the gong! Might make me feel like I'm doing good. LOL. Health permitting, I do want to cobble up some sort of small shack this spring so I can sit and plink and also something to catch the brass.
Right now, I've mowed the area short so its not hard finding the brass but every
time I walk down I find several more. I've got plenty of 9mm but just can stand to
see it left laying.

If you want to get togather for lunch or something one day, give me a shout. I'll PM you my email.....I get that quicker.
