    I pretty much abandoned Midway after the first time I ordered from them. You should check out CDNN and Brownells.

    Brownells looks to be well stocked. They have a TON of gun juices, a bunch I've never seen reviewed.

    CDNN is just plain interesting.

    Except for an odd situation ammo order I've had zero issues with Midway.

    What were you trying to order?

    Some odds and ends, two carbon fiber rods,ear muffs, gun bench rests, gun cases, Remington moisture guards, etc

    Odd thing - they had some good deals on ammo and that was in stock.

    Larry,

    First of all, I just entered my first web order with your company. Great web site, cool looking company.

    I do have a beef. The amount of items on back order is crazy ridiculous. I mean not to be insulting, but what, you can't have a warehouse larger than my shop? Or can you not have your suppliers on hair trigger for drop shipping? Or are you just having logistics issues? There are four items I decided to wait on. I had to change my mind on almost EVERYTHING else I choose and finally I just grabbed a good alternative - meaning I didn't buy exactly what I wanted. If that in itself isn't bad enough, you are charging me OUTRAGEOUS freight on the four back ordered items, a separate nasty shipping charge. It's as if you are doubling up on customers because YOU ran out. Think about it - I'm penalized monetarily (and time wise) - because you have no stock. I can tell you one thing, your largest competitor does not do this.

    Can you check my order out and look into the freight charges, please. I would love for you to convince me why I should stay as a customer.

    Customer #: 10XXXX757

    Invoice #: 12XXXX78

    Invoice Date: 1/16/2011 8:21:51 AM

    Regards,

    I have a 12" and a couple 36" Tipton rods, they are carbon fiber.

    I just ordered some from MidwayUSA. OK price and all, but they are backordered. I'm OK with that, it happens - but wholly Moses, those guys have no shame on shipping charges.....wowser....I ordered a mess of stuff, the main part of the order, the shipping was high, but tolerable. However, the backorder shipping charges are land lubber piracy. Jack me up with no lube, crazy expensive. mad (where's the gremlin with the bugged out eyes??)

    What cleaning rods do guys recommend?

    I have two sets of generic Outers aluminum rods that have worked great over the years. So I just bought a Hoppe brush and patch holder for the .35X guns, these new parts have 8-32 threads.....but alas my more slender rod has different threads. Arrgh.

    So I was checking online and I see something I don't get. Stainless steel rods. This just doesn't seem like a good idea.

    Recommendation? Whole new kit? Best would just be a new rifle and hand gun rod?

    Very cool.

    He just emailed me and said he's getting 4 more and will give me pick of the litter before putting them in the display case possibly $300 or so. I know he's out to make a buck like the next Joe, but this gun dealer has really clicked with me. Take that Cabelas! Plus he's 20 minutes from the house, vs 1.5 or so hours to Cabelas.

    Gun dealer guy has some nice slightly used P225's - seems he will sell me one for a song. They look and feel really nice, and the price seems lower than anything I see on the web.

    Tell me about this gun. Any issues to look out for?

    SIG? But that's a 357 SIG.

    I should just get a bloody 9mm and a 357 revolver! I think I just solved my dilemma. grin

    Get the Ruger Blackhawk Convertible! Shoots .357 and .38 Special outta one cylinder. Shoots 9mm outta another cylinder.

    I'm working my local gun shop for a deal combined with the Rossi .38/357 20" R92-56001. So far prices are less than all the high auction shops. I'm working on him to throw in some extras.
