I have been doing...
I have been doing business with Buds for many years and their inventory, prices & shipping is excellent! Apologies to the Buds community for my previous post that should have been focused on the Ruger Max-9 pistol but, instead, focused on a Buds on-line ordering issue I had experienced. I have communicated this issue to Buds using my direct Team Buds email account and am hoping for comments & clarification. Thank you again.

I have been doing...
I have been doing business with Buds for years and they are excellent! I am also a Team Buds member. When I placed the order for the Max-9 it was stated that I had a 2 hour window to cancel. I left that page and after about 45 minutes I wanted to cancel / change order and I could not. It was 2AM but this is a highly automated company and there should have been a link as I was well within the 2 hour window to cancel. Next… When I went back to my order to cancel I decided to pick up another firearm. As I had just placed an order I was looking for the "multi-gun" purchase offer and there was none. This 2nd order was literally 30 minutes after my Max-9 order. This may not seem like a big deal but I pay for Team Buds membership and this is my 40th order in 6 years so you would think there would be a system in place to address these issues. Thank you…

Small enough to carry...
Small enough to carry and big enough to hold on to. Shoots really good and have had no problems with it.
