Wife and I are getting our CCL, and curious as to who in town has the best prices on handguns? in particular I am looking for a Glock 22/23 and possibly a sig 9mm or 40 caliber. I plan on purchasing two pistols at the same time if the prices are right, do any give discounts if you buy more than one at a time? Can you haggle with pricing? I checked Dongs today on the Glock 23, Gen 4...asking 529 which from what I can find on the internet is the cheapeast so far. Medlocks in Collinsville is 579. As I was leaving in Dongs, older gentleman who worked there said I shouldnt waste my time driving around town comparing prices, they have the best prices on Glocks in the city. This being my first handgun purchase, I just wanted to get some opinions/reviews from my fellow forum members vs driving to every store. I have emailed several, got no response. I have called Tulsa firearms, but they seemed to busy to care, very short over the phone with me.
Thanks
a buddy of mine has had good experiences with Sooner Guns at 5663 S Mingo Rd # D There is also a guy around the corner from him called A.D. custom guns that has a good review on the google, so can give you a quick and easy comparison shop.
If you can hit RJ when he is open he is very knowledgeable and prices pretty fair.
His shop is just off the BA at 145th. But like I said, you might want to call before making the drive as he sometimes runs strange hours.
Heh, apparently he needs some work on his website.

Best place to bargain is a gun show.

Went there and got two things last year. Some Cor-Bon PP rounds for the Bersa, and acetone free cleaner (have a composite grip on the gun, so I wanted to be safe).
But, outside of the gun shows, can you recommend anyone else? I'm still looking for a Glock 17, or possibly a 19 but I want to be able to pick the gun up and choose based on how it feels.

thanks everyone for the advice. I rented a glock 19 at USSA this past weekend. Felt comfortable to me. From what I have been told by some friends is that most gun places around town have the most popular models to rent and test fire. I believe 2A will even deduct your rental amount from the gun purchase if you purchase that day.
If you dont mind used, gunsamerica.com has plenty of listings for just about any make and model and armslist.com is sort of the craigslist for guns. Also cheaperthandirt.com and impactguns I saw had some fairly decent prices. I have only actually been inside Dongs lately, but comparing their prices to the internet, they are by far the cheapest on glocks. They have a Glock 22 Gen 4 for 529.99. Cheapeast online price I found was 539.99 plus shipping plus doing background check plus the FFL transfer fee.
I don't think you can go wrong with Dong's, usually pretty good prices, I just don't know if they will make "package" deals or not.

DONG'S !!! Some of my favorite radio commercials.

Kinda like the old Starship radio ads when they would plug Tiddies flipflops (and then make sure they spelled the name while still in the ad).
We used to make comments about "Dong re-loading" :o

I blurted that out in the office and got a good laugh. My retired TPD co-worker knew exactly what I was talking about. LOL.
I have refused to give Dong's my business ever since they ran some ads using political scare tactics based on unfounded claims to get business (come get your guns now before such n such bill takes them away).

Wannenmacher's and the other gun show promoters did the same thing. NRA used it to drive memberships. Same old story.

still won't support anyone that uses that tactic. When I was hearing it from Dong's, it was on an issue that had been showed as to clearly not be what they were making it out to be, and as far as I was concerned they were lying to people in order to move their inventory.

My point was, you will end up looking long and hard trying to find a dealer or store who hasn't used that tactic. I find it deplorable as well, but if I refused to do business with everyone who did that, I couldn't buy any guns or ammo.
I buy most of my guns at Academy Sports. It's like the McDonald's of guns. I can be in and out in 15 minutes, and they get new stock almost every day.
Wish they would put in a drive-through.

Had a clerk at the local Drug Warehouse do that to me last week..well, sort of. I was coming to pick up a prescription and decided I needed a couple of items. Paid with cash, but needed a penny to make it even or something. She told me she had some in the tray, but I already had one out and made a comment about them getting rid of pennies anyway (since that talk has been going around). She then proceeded to tell me how 'our current President wants us to be more like China anyway so pennies wouldn't matter'.
Wait, what? I told her not to speak to me anymore. Not because she said something like that, but because she was stupid enough to believe it.
That must be in some of the water around these parts.
OK, back to our regularly scheduled discussion about guns..

Thought about going to Bass Pro...but they are really, REALLY proud of their guns.
At least that's the impression I get from the prices they're asking.

It's probably the fact that they were so in your face about it

Academy has a great website too that makes comparisons easy. I like to spend time at Bass Pro, but find their gun counter annoying, and the process tedious because there are always 100 people there and 6 people helping them.
In the last couple of years these places have really gotten pounded. I wanted to pick up a little Bursa Thunder for my wife a few weeks ago and every store in town would sell out the day a shipment came in. When I did pick one up, the guy told me that because of the increase in demand they have Academy doubled their handgun business in Tulsa over the last year.

yeah according to their website the same glock is 599.99 (70 dollars higher than Dongs) and the Gen 4 Glock 23 is 579.99 at Academy (50 bucks higher than Dongs). They have the Gen 3 Glock 23 for 529.99 but I believe I want the gen 4. I sent an email to Sooner Guns earlier today, since they are closed on Monday. I asked point blank (no pun intended) what he charges for the two guns I am looking for and if there is even a 5 or 10 percent discount if buying 2 together. Even at 5 percent, it would save me 50 bucks.

I have the Thunder .380. Nifty little gun; it resembles a Walther PPK..
