No, not tax day, but National Buy a Gun Day.
Went to go look at the PF-9 at Shoot Straight since when I called earlier, they had one albeit at a little bit higher than I was wanting to pay. Figured since they sold it at the gun show for $299, they'd be willing to come down to that price.
Apparently, while I'm confusing the PM9 for the PF9 (two different brands), whoever I talked to heard "P11" which sounds very much like "pee eff nine".
So, they didn't have it.
Here's a tip, gun store owners. Don't feed me the bullshit that 'guns are hard to come by these days' when I'm standing in a veritable fucking warehouse of guns. Just because the one I want isn't available doesn't mean you have to patronize me with the fact that gun sales are up.
Also, if I ask for X and you do not have X, it is a sound business practice to suggest Y or Z or at least try to figure out what I'm in the market for and quite possibly still make the sale.
Specific guns might be in short supply, but that shouldn't mean customer service is too.
