Hi i-club gun crew,

I'm about to purchase my first gun and I'm wondering which shop is good around s. bay/Fremont area? Also are the prices negotiable? And anyone had experiences on ordering guns online and getting transferred?

Thanks in advance for the help/advice...

BTW, I'm interested in the Sig P226, P229, or P2022

 

there is a great gun shop in pleasant hill, ca. Dont know of any down south bay. Its off of contra costa blvd. across the street from melo's pizza. I got my sig P220 transferred there and it was easy as pie........except the ten day waiting period! dam waiting period. Hogans was cool but i think they went out of business.

E

I think brucelee could help you on this one..........

 

Reeds sporting goods

I think it is on Alum Rock

 

Where?!?!

Only one I knew of was Hogans, but they are no more.

 

Across the street from hogans next to play it again sports. Right around the corner.

Its called Diablo Valley Gun Service. Last time i was in there he had the new S&W .50 caliber hand gun (revolver)!!!!!! It was awesome!!!!!!! its on the wish list.

 

Pleasant Hill is a bit far. But is it cheaper to buy from the internet even with all the fees?

 

This shop is pretty rad. I purchased both of my guns in a shop in pacifica. They were a little cheaper and the guys that own the shop are cool. worth the drive for me.
check www.gunatics.com, probably get more info there

 

traders in san leandro

gun exchange in san jose

 

I know there is one in milpitas

 

I just buy mine from some dude that sells them out of the trunk of his Caddy. I'll hook you up.

 

theres a shop on el camino in san carlos...i'm lookin for an SA XD .40

what i need is some help at the range as I have never gone solo and can use some guidance getting started and learning how to clean the gun, etc..

 

whoa, never knew that was there and I live down the street. I am going to go check it out this weekend.

 

traders in san leandro is in trouble with the ATF.

seems like their paperwork from over the years isnt too accurate.

if you walk in their store right now, they have NO guns for sale...

maybe they can get this situation solved...

 

great choice in sig sauers. well maybe the 2022... lol...

one, for your i-club equivalent, check out www.sigforum.com

very nice people there. i'm same account name there.

second, you need to figure out what caliber you want since the 226 and the 229 can be had in 3 diff calibers each.

the beauty of getting a 40 s&w is that with a simple barrel change, you can get a .357 SIG and nothing else.

but as a starter gun, you can start out with a 9mm. very nice to get accustomed to a 9mm 226, like i did.

third, once you settled on a firearm and caliber, i had nothing but great experience ordering online. usually $100-200 savings. that includes the FFL fees.

 

Thanks Idivinag!
I think I settled on the 9mm 226. Where do you order online and where do you transfer it to? Any recommendations? I found a lot of used ones on gunbroker.com but they all come with 15 rd clips. The prices do vary a lot...

Thanks.
