So, I'm not having much luck finding the few things that I want. Specifically 2 Sig556 SWATs and a Kahr MK40 Elite.
There is one store in South Miami that has 2 Sig556 SWATs, but:
1) They're the old version without the folder hinge (and the guy wants to charge $289 to add the hinge per gun).
2) Aside from the $289 mod price to mod the gun into the current factory-stock design, his price is beyond high. I put it best in a recent thread when I said:
Anyways, I recently went to the Dayton Hamvention and as per some recommendations here, I called almost every gun store there and visited a few of them. I found 2 Sig556 SWATs, and the price was actually not that far off of what I'd expect to pay, but they were the old version, and more importantly, it seemed they had been abused by too many customers looking as at least one of the two I found looked used rather than NIB on the outside. Nobody in Dayton had a Kahr MK40 Elite. I came back with lots of radio gear, but didn't buy any guns.
Then there's another company out of Texas that was recommended to me and I'm talking to them. They won't be able to get back to me until Wednesday though regarding if they can get what I want.
So, in the meantime, here's where I'm at. I've decided that I am willing to drive to any Gun store in Orlando or in any area of Florida that is south of Orlando such as Tampa, St. Petersburg, Lakeland, Cape Coral, Naples, the Florida keys, etc. if they have what I am looking for. I'd like to get this stuff before I move to Minnesota in less than 1 month now because it's easier to purchase in Florida than in Minnesota. It's legal in Minnesota to purchase too, but I'd be delayed a bit as I'd have to get a MN driver's license, satisfy the conditions for residency, and get a Minnesota purchase permit before I could get these items there.
So, to our South Florida members, I need shop names and if possible phone numbers and/or website addresses.
Again - any gun store south of Orlando, whether southeast, southwest, directly south, or even in Orlando is fine. I've settled on this distance limit because it's what I think I could reasonably drive in the morning, make a purchase, and drive back home all in one day without speeding and arriving home before dinner time.
I've called many of the stores in Ft. Lauderdale and Miami, but maybe there are a few I don't know of. Feel free to throw names of stores in those areas into this thread too.
Thanks. I'm guessing I'm not going to find this stuff in South Florida and that I'll end up ordering through an out-of-state store, but I figure I'd give this a shot before giving up on finding this stuff locally.
