Lol, batons are listed as one of the prohibited items and I bought a Monadnock Autolock on there last week.

Order on a Monday at noon have it here Tuesday or Wednesday. Can't beat that.

Ditto. I love Amazon and Prime and make it more than worthwhile with free delivery of pet food and other heavy things. I find value in the ease of ordering and price. Obviously I don't just go there for everything, but they have a great price on a lot of things.

I must have missed the memo on them not selling any gun stuff - got my 10/22 upgrades there along with Butler Creek 9mm mag loader, scope mounts, bore snake, gun cleaner and cleaning mats, range and rifle bag, eyes and ears, handgun cases, gun safe, mag pouches, targets, and ammo boxes from there. Need to snag a scope soon too. Along with all the links to gun accessories for sale including the AR upper... maybe people are basing their opinion on false information?

Sure, they don't sell guns, mags, ammo, or as many replacement parts or accessories as Cabela's/Gander/Midway - but does every single retail business need to sell these things in order not to be boycotted? There's plenty of online retailers to find what you don't find on Amazon and a lot that they don't have that Amazon does. And as BehindBlueI's pointed out, gun stuff can be a PITA to deal with so that's why some are focused on it while others avoid it. It seems mindless to demand that every place that sells anything has to sell everything you want.

There are lots of retailers that don't carry firearms/accessories... eg I won't stop shopping at radio shack because I can't buy glock mags there....

I wouldn't go to BGF to buy computer parts, and then get mad at them and cry foul because they don't carry them. That would be rather mindless.

Exactly.


A 25% increase after 9 years seems reasonable considering the increase in the price of gasoline over that time. But...

Latest Amazon Prime adventure. Ordered a pair of Hogue grips for my 1911 on March 23. In the listing it was given as free two-day delivery, but once I ordered, the order indicated free standard shipping, 3-5 business days. Erm?
