I have been very pleased with my dealings with SHTF. I purchased a hard-to-find high-end firearm and the whole transaction went smoothly. There are some benefits of dealing with a smaller dealer, such as being able to talk to them on the phone and having your items shipped promptly. Recently I found some semi hard-to-find magazines for a popular rifle on SHTF by a search. The price was the lowest out there and they were in stock. My usual mag store wanted $13 dollars more per item. The SHTF website may not be anything fancy, but it is straightforward and part of an efficient business. Some other gunshops won't deal with California customers, regardless of how legal the purchase is, which is fairly annoying. SHTF also seems to be keeping their prices reasonable, when some others are using sky-high "pandemic/social unrest pricing." That's not the case here. Looking around, I found that the owner also had some positive dialogue with shooters in online gun forums. I recommend SHTF as a good place to buy.
