Wife and I have been using a Mom Pop place since they opened couple decades back. Many of our guns come from them and cost a little more. I too have no problem with this to keep them open. I will look at price then ask them. When they can get it for a little more I use them. Benefits of this are a few. They no longer even ask for cash up front. We tell them, they order, we buy. When they cut off the pay and walk option here the shop no longer asks us for money till they actually let us walk with the gun. Last couple hand guns after the 10 day wait they said come get your gun. When I have ordered online for something they could not get they give us a very fair price to do the transfer. Sadly City of Tacoma is at the brink of running them out of business. They held off on the new tax for now that the owners made clear. If the city does it they will have to close. If they do I hope they set up shop out here in the county. I would volunteer to come help them move if they doMy tendency is to have my favorite LGS order it for me as I like that business a whole bunch and am totally willing to pay the extra just because of the bar-none best customer service I've ever had. Something to be said about establishing first name basis status.
