Is there any other way to buy? Seriously, I don't do online ordering for guns simply because of what you said. I need to have it in my hands to look it over. And FWIW, the last purchase I made was a G26 Gen 4. I shopped for a little over a year to find the right deal. Don't see having to do that with the shotgun though as I expect some deals will be there after all this is over.
