350, not great, but less than I had seen recently.

Anybody see the price on an XD SC in 9mm?

mdroz3 · 06-27-2009

1000 rds of Independence 9mm for $339.80($16.99/box). Thought that was a good deal considering that just one month ago 9mm was $30.00 a box of 50.

It's one heck of a sale event they have going on there! I stopped by the other evening and walked out with several guns and cases of ammo, I just couldn't help myself. The staff was great and courteous and even helped me carry and load my loot in my truck. Went back in on Saturday and was astonished at the number of people I had to navigate in the parking lot that were coming out of the store with arm loads of goods. Prices were excellent on some guns and accessories, ammo prices were still a bit high on some calibers, but much better than I've seen elsewhere recently. If you're in the area this week, it's worth the time to stop by and just look around.

Midwest Gun Exchange at Fort Wayne gun shows.
They seem to always do well at the gun shows in the Fort Wayne Coliseum. When I have talked to two of the local Fort Wayne shops, they do not go because of Midwest. They claiming Midwest is a "wholesale" dealer. Any truth to that? Anyway big selection but I agree that the help is just where to do the sale. If you are like me, I go in already knowing what I am looking for.

I've always been told the same by other gun shops.

Went there this morning and bought some PMAGS. They were selling new clocks cheaper than the LEO discount!

The one nice thing is the staff does seem to be knowledgeable, at least the ones I spoke with. That is a plus.

I have bought quite a few guns from midwest in the past, and it always seems that I am inconveniencing the staff by asking to see something in the case ( never once have i been asked if i would like to see something). I am not sure if it is because I am younger (26) or i just give off the "just looking " vibe or something. Don't get me wrong the sales staff isn't rude or anything and the experience was always pleasant, they just don't have that "were here for the customer first and sales second" atmosphere some of the other shops around here have.

Well, that got me pretty excited ...

until I had to write a check today for my car insurance ($550). Don't you hate when that !@#$ sneaks up on you just when you're ready to spend the money?

I guess it could have been worse. My invoice could have arrive next week.
