I always buy from AIM if I have the option.

Aim is out of stock.
Dan's ammo has them in like new condition for $299 showing some wear for $259

I was less-than-pleased with AIM. I paid top dollar in November plus extra for a hand pick. The gun was filthy; the Sig box was broken and the pistol had obviously been rolling around the inside of the sig container during shipping as it had blue scuff's on it. I could ship it back and AIM said they'd replace it , "but you'd be getting the bottom of the barrel" Yikes...I thought I did! Great. The gun cleaned-up OK so I kept it.
That said, I had a CZ shipped at the same time. Flawless. Go figure.

centerfire march shippment
269 shipping was included (it was preordered for 2 month)
has rust pit of about 1 inch size on the back of the slide
some holster wear on the slide
the checked part of the grip (front) had disclored (looks like scratched off
paint)
Barrel looks like completely new.
grip screwes, inside the slide all had 'dust' meaning that it was in storage
for long time.
Cleaned it up quickly, put Break Free -- took to the range.
About 30 rounds -- perfect no malfunction.
magazine loading is very good, positive - no rattling
Same is for the overall function.

When you select the hand pick option it means they will pick up the next five guns and select the best from those 5; it does not mean you will get a perfect gun, just the best one in that selection. It is possible the gun you recieved really was the best of those 5 guns.oppie said:

That is true which is why the practice is deceptive IMHO. It is paying extra for nothing. I prefer places that actually grade all of their guns and sell them accordingly.
Rella - From dealing with AIM face to face, I got it that they graded the weapons and then sell them appropriately, there is no actual best of five...it's the top 20% (best of 5 equals 20%) of the weapons in any shipment that are sold as hand picked.When I was there looking at the Browning HPs, they had a tally on the whiteboard showing their call staff how many of each were left for sale. When the last of the hand picked were gone, it was zeroed out and *only* the lower grade were available for sale.
I'd not label them deceptive.
