Buds Top Selling Guns

Interesting list... lots of value guns.


When customers are trying to decide which gun they should buy next, one of the things they often want to know is "what is everybody else buying ?"  Our customer product reviews  are a great resource to see what other people are saying, both good and bad, about their purchases.  However, a few times each year we also try to share our Top Selling reports with all our subscribed email customers.  With nearly 150,000 firearms sold and shipped annually to all 50 states, our BudsGunShop.com Top Selling report provides a unique insight into the current trends in firearm sales nationwide.
We do hope you will find this Top Selling report useful when selecting your next gun !

* Prices and availability are subject to change with each inventory update
** Three of our Top Selling models do not appear on the list above as they are no longer available.
Also, there are a few models that are currently selling better than many of those listed above.  However, due to only a recent sales history, these models did not make the Top 15 list to date for 2011.  These models include the M10-762 Semi-Auto AK Style Rifl e 7.62x39, the recently discontinued Colt Law Enforcement Carbines, and the Kel-Tec PF9 9mm Gray Frame Blue Slide for only $240 DELIVERED !

For something fun and cheap to shoot, but also very solid in both quality and reliability, our best current values are the New Factory "Blem" Heritage Rough Rider 22LR Revolvers .  We purchased ALL of the Factory blemished guns that Heritage had available earlier this year.  We have not been disappointed, and neither have our customers !  These guns are new, come with a new gun warranty, and we have not received any customer complaints about the condition of any of these guns.  Many customers actually bothered to let us know they could not even find the "blem" upon close inspection !  No matter if it's your first handgun, or you are just adding to your collection...who can't use a NEW .22 revolver at a used gun price ?.....as low as $139 DELIVERED !

We hope you have enjoyed this update and we look forward to answering any questions or concerns you may have.

Thank you !

Pat - You are not alone.

One more UT post this evening..

 

Moar Plot!!1! from the UT Band

The sad state of UT sports has now infected the Pride of the Southland Band. I don't think anyone liked the Wizard of Oz skit - everyone was having Carnicus flashbacks. They should be more like the radio stations that brag "more music, less talk."

 

I'm more of a traditionalist...

Mouse Manure - Dooley Presser

wesrucker247 Dooley said "mouse manure" when talking Vols running game. "It's not a communication issue. It's a 'knock-somebody's-you-know what' issue."Mon, Oct 10 12:34:07 from TweetDeck
wesrucker247 Dooley: "It's Tennessee. I don't care how many guys we lose. We're still Tennessee."Mon, Oct 10 12:29:18 from TweetDeck
wesrucker247 Dooley: If I'd known in January I wouldn't have Lathers, Janzen, Hunter, Bray, "I'd roll up my sleeves and go to work. That's what you do."Mon, Oct 10 12:15:54 from TweetDeck

Baofeng UV-3R: Colors on Sale, UV-3R Mark II in stock

Chris, NH7QH, is now showing the UV-3R Mark II in stock at NH7QH Radio Supplies. Also, he's got the color versions on sale for $55 to $57.

Boafeng UV-3R: Remote Control for Hand Driers

This little radio does it all... UHF, VHF, FM broadcast, communicate via satellite, start hand driers in the bathroom, etc.

From the Baofeng UV-3R Yahoo Group:
"when I press the ptt around 144.0 and 145.0 the "hand driers" at my work toilets start to work, then stop when Ptt is released. 
I am standing in a different room, around 6 to 8 meters away."
Those Chinese engineers think of everything!

Ten-Tec 539 QRP Transceiver: Q&A with Ten-Tec

Tom Witherspoon, K4SWL, of QRPer has an interview with the Ten-Tec team regarding the 539 where several questions about the rig are answered. Some notes that struck me... it might get 160M, probably less than $1000, and can be computer controlled via USB. There is also some information about the Model 418 Amplifier.

Tablets R Us

Why buy something besides an iPad? (I'm listing this link first - if you read only one, make it this one.)
"The Kindle Fire is interesting because it’s the first one with a good answer: it’s much cheaper, Amazon offers a digital content ecosystem that rivals Apple’s (fewer apps, more books), and millions of people already use and enjoy Kindle hardware. The e-ink Kindles are to the Kindle Fire what the music-playing iPods were to the iPhone, and what the iPhone was to the iPad — traction in the mass market based on trust and loyalty.
Amazon built an alternative to the iPad, rather than a direct competitor. It’s a different market segment. As Steve Jobs explained back in 2010 at the introduction of the original iPad, there’s unexplored territory between smartphones and laptops."
And:
"The iPad and Kindle Fire are emblematic of their makers. Apple’s primary business is selling devices for a healthy profit, and they back that up with a side business of selling digital content for those devices. Amazon’s primary business is as a retailer, including as a retailer of digital content. They back that up with a side business of low-cost digital devices that are optimized for on-the-fly purchasing of anything and everything Amazon sells. The Kindles are to Amazon what the printed catalog was to Sears a century ago."

The X-Ray feature might tip the scale and give me a reason to pay a premium of an e-book.
"All the new e-ink Kindles have an innovative feature called X-Ray. When you download a book on an e-ink Kindle you automatically receive a second file with information about the characters and settings of the book. The sources include Wikipedia and an Amazon-owned company book-related social service called Shelfari. It’s a welcome means to quickly figure out whether an unfamiliar character had appeared a few chapters earlier."

If I buy a Kindle, I will get the version that is ad supported, because you can change your mind later and pay to opt out of the adds with no penalty.

Amazon to buy Palm? Speaking of old school, maybe somebody should snap up BeOS, too.

Some iPad alternatives

I've finally decided what my next tablet will be: The Sabre Pyramid

iPhone 4S... point and shoot camera killer?

What is the difference between a smartphone and tablet? Very similar to my thoughts on which tablets are competitors? It depends on the use case.
