    My first purchase from Al Flaherty's

    I just made a purchase online today for a Smith & Wesson 686 revolver (6" barrel, 6-shot cylinder).

    I'll let you all know how it goes! I didn't read the Google reviews until after I finalized my purchase and am a bit worried after reading them. Hopefully this purchase goes flawlessly so I can write up a great review myself!

    When I called to question why I received an email saying the article was shipped already (I've never heard of a transfer time of less than an HOUR ) he said sometimes 2-3 weeks for a transfer to go through. ( !!?? ) I've only purchased 1 restricted before but it only took a couple of days.

    Anyway, hopefully all goes well and I'll let everyone know about it either way. Fingers crossed.

    Our google reviews are a bit skewed, like the guy complaining about the temperature when our A/C was busted, but I'm glad you made the purchase with you, and I'm glad we could talk yesterday!

    Likely the transfer will always be well under 2-3 weeks, but I'm always from the school of thought that if it takes 5 hours, tell them 8 so you look good

    Al's is a great place to deal with. l've been in there a bunch of times, and always walked out happy. The staff are friendly, and they treat you right. Don't worry about the transfer. You'll have your Smith and Wesson before you know it. Congrates by the way

    Thanks for all the replies!

    As with anything - never trust bad reviews. People will go out of their way to give a bad review when they're not happy, but rarely lift a finger to go out and post about good service. Which I agree, is kind of how it should be. Good service SHOULD be a 'given'.

    I'm a newly licensed RPAL'er and I like the layout of Al Flahery's site. Clean and simple. Quick to navigate around without tons of links everywhere.

    The only other restricted gun I bought (from Elwood Epps) the transfer only took a couple days. HOPING it's not a couple weeks :D But with all the stuff happening in Ottawa today, I wouldn't be surprised if the CFO decides to halt all transfers for like a year.

    I look forward to being a return customer!

    Agreed! "To over-promise, is to under-perform"

    I've purchased 2 restricteds from Al's (in person). Both transfers were completed in a couple of days. I was expecting longer, so was pleasantly surprised.
