Precise Shooter Weekly, 2017-06-27

Deals, deals, deals.

Last year, in run up to the election where a passionately anti-gun candidate was universally expected to win, manufacturers overproduced, and retail stores overcommitted. So in the last eight months gun industry have experienced a major slowdown in internal sales.

As a result, the combination of aggressing rebating by the manufacturers with the aggressive discounting by the distributors resulted in prices that at this point are nothing short of unreal. I have not seen anything like that since I bought my first gun 10 years ago.

I don't think this Eldorado of guns will last forever - the imbalances will eventually work themselves out. So if you are missing anything from your collection - it is a good time to round it out.

Here are the deals we have in the store right now. It's a very long list, but trust me - it will pay if you make it to the end.

Bersas

If you are looking for a Walther PPK clone, Bersa T380 is the best that is currently in production.

From the quality perspective they are superior to recent - but no longer in production - Smith & Wesson licensed copies.

We were able to buy a few models REALLY CHEAP recently and we are passing the savings on to you.

Browning Buck Marks

If you want a really accurate target pistol, a Browning Buck Mark or Ruger Mark III (or IV) are extremely accurate and inexpensive.

In particular we have two Buck Mark pistols at amazing prices.

Buck Mark Practical URX is an entry level model, but most of these guns are easily capable of 1" 10rd groups at 25 yards (when shot with a scope and from the rest; of course, performance of every individual guns can vary, but all mine were this accurate).

Browning only allows us to advertise MAP price: $389.99 MAP (5 in stock) - but price in store is A LOT better!

Buck Mark Black Label guns are on the opposite end of the spectrum, having every option that can be crammed into the gun, including a laser sight.

$479.95 (2 in stock)

They sell for $650 at Bass Pro Shops.

But wait - there's more! All of the following Browning guns have a $50 rebate on them until 7/15/2017.

CZ

We are known for our CZ collection, but until recently maintaining it was challenging: for example, 75BDs were out of stock at the manufacturer for at least a year, and though I always buy A LOT for our stock when I can, even my stock was depleted.

But recently the new batch was imported, and we have a lot of them back in stock. Not the Shadows though - these are gone.

But we still do have various CZ 452 rifles and suppressor ready 527 in 7.62x39 in addition to a bunch of pistols. The 452s are really truly the last this time around.

A thing to know about CZ pistols - they are one of the world's most cloned handgun design. And of course we have a few of the clones in stock!

Tanfoglio Witness is a pretty faithful copy of CZ 75B, at only (currently unavailable). That's over $150 cheaper than the comparable CZ pistol.

My favorite guns are those made by Canik 55. Unfortunately, they are no longer imported in the US, but I did buy the last ones the distributors had. You can read my reviews here and here, and the guns themselves are here:

Description SKU UPC Available Price P-120 Canik 55 9mm Blue 85080 713780850801 7 (in stock) $469.95 P-120 Canik 55 9mm Chrome 85090 713780850900 3 (in stock) $479.95

FN

We have a particularly good price on FNS-40. This is approximately $50 below wholesale.

(currently unavailable)

We also have a Five-seveN in stock, for the first time in approximatey a year.

(currently unavailable)

Glocks

We sell our Glocks at MAP - which means you will not find one cheaper online, and you don't have to pay shipping or transfer. In addition to the new guns we sell a few police surplus Glocks.

You can see the full list, including the ones available at the for special order here.

If you are in the market for Glock 17, 19, or 43, however, we have some special deals for you. These three guns are available as TALO editions with AmeriGlo orange tritium front night sight preinstalled - at the same price for for 17 and 19 (both Gen 4) and for only $20 more for 43. That's $50 in value. At least.

Specific models:

KelTec

We have a PMR-30 and a bunch of other rare KelTec guns in stock, including a Sub2k.

Description SKU UPC Available Price P-11 Tan/Tan Grip 640832000108 1 (in stock) $279.95 1035812 PMR-30 Blued/Black Grip PMR30BBLK 640832002676 3 (in stock) $349.95

Les Baers

If you have to own one 1911 and the money is not an issue, you should own a Les Baer. These guns are superbly, unreally accurate. If you buy a gun with a 1.5" group guarantee - this is 1.5" groups at 50 yards(!), they are more accurate than quite a few rifles.

I always have one on me when I test new firearms - it helps me establish the reference point for the accuracy of the setup and the ammunition. Once a shoot a box from my Premier II, I proceed to shoot the handguns that I intended to test.

We are the area's biggest Les Baer dealer.

Remington 1911s

If you are looking for a superb 1911 but aren't prepared to pay Les Baer prices, you NEED to look at Remington R1 guns - ideally today.

I picked up mine about 2 years ago when Remington ran its previous rebate. It was R1 Enhanced gun, and I was really, REALLY impressed with its accuracy.

This time, two things happened. First, Remington runs its rebate again, and this time it's $100 back.

On top of this, one of my distributors had inventory firesale, and it included a bunch of Remington pistols.

As a result, we can offer them to you at below wholesale and then ON TOP of this there is this rebate.

So for myself I bought all 5 guns allowed by the rebate and shot one of them - the stainless non-enhanced version. The accuracy was the same as the enhanced gun in the review here, i.e. absolutely astounding.

Here is the list.

1911 R1 45ACP BLK 5" (96323) (currently unavailable) - yes, after rebate you are getting this gun for the price of an Armscor GI 1911!

- 1911 R1 200th Anniversary Edition (96496) (currently unavailable)

1911 R1 Enhanced Commander 45ACP 4.25" (96359) (currently unavailable)

1911 R1 Carry (96332) (currently unavailable)

1911 R1 Hunter 10mm 6" (96679) (currently unavailable)
