First time buyer at Buds. Ordered on Monday Picked up the new toy on Thursday afternoon. I examined the gun before we did the transfer and it looked fine to me. Some people are saying they are only getting one magazine and their gun came in a paper box. This 709 Slim came in a black plastic case and had the second magazine. I guess the difference between 250 and 275 dollars get you the second magazine. Took the gun home and cleaned out all the grease. This weekend I shot 100 rounds of Full Metal Jacket and the gun performed flawlessly. I love the slim grip since I have smaller hands. All in all I would say an excellent purchase price for an excellent product.
