I bought my last two XD's from Buds, XD9 SC and a 4" XD .45 Service w/ thumb safety, both last fall. Great prices and great service.
I took out the insurance (+1%) just in case the pieces got lost or stolen in transit - suggest you do likewise.

They are great to do business with, though recently they've been slammed just like everyone else.

I have had multiple transactions with Bud's and have been satisfied each time. I prefer to do business with my local dealers but at times the price differential on a particular weapon was too great to ignore.

Bought one pistol from them. No problems, completely as advertised. Would do business with them again.

I ordered 4 Wilson 47D 1911 mags Sunday night. UPS dropped them off on Tuesday.
The only time I have had faster delivery was 1 day turn around from Comp-Tac.

I ordered a Marlin 60SS from Bud's on 4/17. It was in stock, but I'm still waiting for notice that it has shipped.
They claim 3-7 business days to ship. i guess some are luckier than others.

Not defending them but they are busy. IIRC, My FFL had my XD 9 SC in his hands before I received notice that it had been shipped. Check with your FFL tomorrow. Good luck.

It's no big thing. Just wanted to show that they don't always ship promptly.
I ordered from them because everything I've heard about them has been good.
They're still within their stated 3-7 business days to ship.

I made a recent purchase from them in person. I was satisfied with the service and the price was good. They are busy for sure, at least in the store.

I received notice that my order shipped on the 6th business day.
Maybe not always fast, but definitely reliable!

I ordered a Springfield Armory XD-9 last Friday. It was shipped Monday, delivered on Wednesday. Excellent service - will probably buy from them again.

I also ordered on Friday and mine was also shipped on Monday.
It was the full week in between that annoyed me.
Ordered 4/17, delivered 4/30.
