Same here. Purchased 4-5 firearms from them and always got them in a couple business days shipped from Florida. Customer service was good as well.


This for me as well, in fact they are usually my go to for online purchases. Always find the lowest price there, free shipping, and it always arrives at my FFL within a few days.

Ordered mine on 4/3. I called twice and confirmed. Just waiting for them to get off their butts and process it.

Mine came in yesterday but the FFL was closed. Got it today. $25 fee, and I was in and out within 15 minutes. Highly satisfied!

Picked mine up from FFL yesterday.

Initial thoughts without having cleaned it or fired it:

Heavy recoil spring.
Heavy trigger pull.
Gritty slide.

I'll disassemble, clean and then hopefully get it to the range soon for some break in.

I honestly thought the trigger was going to be worse from what I read...I'll end up working on it but I expected worse lol

It's pretty heavy, but I guess it's smooth enough.

The gun is for a female friend. I may get her to let me break it in and then replace the trigger and recoil spring if necessary. I may also work on the slide rails if there are imperfections.

9mm

It feels about 3x heavier than my Sig P938.

Someone on here was talking about they changed there prices and had different "warehouses" listed. Seemed to me there warehouse was other gun stores in town? Just putting it out there really no other reason.

Oh ok. A couple firearms I've purchased from Gunbuyer had that sticker if I recall correctly. A quick google search shows that the Florida Gun Exchange online store is selling the 10035 Shield for $396.53 direct. Got mine for $319.95.

Guess we lucked out.
