I have been to Midwest about a dozen times. Once for ammo and got great service. The other 11 or so were either poor, or horrible service depending on the day. Once I went in to buy a rifle to hunt with and they recommended a nice ruger 77/44 stainless. They were asking full manufacturers suggested retail price on it. I bought it on Gunbroker and had it shipped and transfered for a full $160 less before tax than Midwest was asking for theirs. Both were brand new in the box. If I'm looking for a "Deal" midwest guns is not the first place that comes to mind. Not when I can order it online or purchase it on Gunbroker and have it shipped for 20%+ less. Heck sales tax alone is a $70 increase on a $1000 gun. I suggest shopping around on the computer first. You will almost always save money over Midwest, and you don't have to waste an hour or more trying to get waited on.
They are usually one of the go to places at the 1500 but I was shocked at their last flyer that had the M&P Shield at full retail price.
