I have dealt with Bud's twice in the last 3 months. I like them. I have had good experiences, except for speed of delivery. Both of my guns had the view in Lexington symbol.

The issue I have is that Bud's has to ship pistols overnight. They have my money immediately, but it still takes like 7 business days to get me the gun. If they had better money handling policies and better shipping/handling, they could get people their guns tomorrow.

Last, the prices are good, but the bigger REAL LGS's can beat them sometimes, so they are not great prices.

IMO, Bud's has a year or 2 to get their pricing and shipping figured out or someone else will swoop in and they will become a tiny gun store or even close.
