Easier? Probably not. But it's been a long time since I special ordered locally as using a site like Buds already makes it as easy as buying locally.Very informative - thank you.
Wouldn’t it be easier to have your local special order the one you want?
A local special order might take weeks or even months. When you order online, the retailer has the item in stock an simply ships it to your FFL. Your local gun store might only purchace from factory distributors (in order to get the best price for themselves)...so you're at the mercy of the factory inventory and logistics.
Plus...more competition means more competitive pricing.
Since the process of online buying from a safety perspective is fundamentally no different from special ordering locally, but gives the customer access to lower prices and speedier acquisition compared to special order...well...the proof is in the pudding...
...I never special order and almost exclusively buy new firearms online.
