Can you purchase a gun at Bass Pro with gift cards?

Kind of a simple question and I don't see a reason I wouldn't be able to, but just wanted to double check before I went down there and got thrown a curveball if I couldn't.

For the Bass Pro shop in Denham Springs. TIA

I'll also confirm, just to make you feel better!

I've used them for a used gun and for ammo.

Every once in a while they have a weird deal that excludes guns and ammo but I think it may be a special promotion for the club card holders and nothing to do with gift cards.

Because it's a good gun, very similar to the shield plus we are familiar with, and she wants to try it out. It holds 5 more rounds than either of those guns, it is 35% lighter than the sig and 25% lighter than the Springfield, and it costs a decent bit less than either of those.

Any thing else you want to know for why I decided to go with this gun?

Because some of us like guns that fire when they should...and don't when they shouldn't.

I’ve bought 4 guns from bass pro and every one was at least partially paid for with a gift card. Between safety awards and Xmas gifts I usually have just enough of them laying around to tolerate their markup. I wouldn’t be surprised if that doesn’t drive a lot of their sales period.

Honestly the markup isn’t that bad. And most of the time if you use the club card to pay for even a portion of the purchase you get great financing options and a ton of points. Like every Tuesday they offer 10% off for club card holders and they’ll do 30% sales a lot as well.

That’s a great credit card if you’re int the outdoors. I use it to pay bills and stuff with. I just bought a Shimano Stradic reel this past spring with points from my Bass Pro card.

It’s amazing how controllable that gun is….its not for me personally but if my wife wanted to carry it would be one of the guns I’d have on the list for her to try out. It’s pretty impressive how far those .380 hand cannons have come….basically not hand cannons anymore. Not a bad choice at all in my estimation.

I'll play along with this silliness and say that he gave an option of a P238... not P320. But I guess maybe you didn't know the difference or just some side eye comment jab at Sig.

However, I'm not sure why people don't use their own personal experience when deciding what gun to buy. But I believe you took that route since it seems you have S&W experience. For me, I swear I need to be buying lotto tickets because I've NEVER has one of my P320s decide to go bang by itself.

I shot went and got it on Saturday and shot it that evening at my in-laws house and I have got to say, it is incredibly shootable. I did plenty of research on it and read great things, but for such a small gun, it really was more accurate than I thought it would be.

It's not the world's greatest thing for self defense, but it is really small and easy for my wife to handle so it'll do the job in a pinch. Which is what she wants it for toting our kids around.

Guess I was basing my opinion from the original SW Bodyguard. I hated those things.
