Cabelas here in Edmonton won't even take a handgun out of the case if you don't have a RPAL (which I'm waiting for). With so many choices and different manufacturers, I think it helps to get the feel of many of them before you choose. Been there a dozen times to look at stuff so I think they know I am serious about a purchase eventually. I mean its a certainty that you will be buying more then one! Plus accessories.
I will remember that when I do finally get my RPAL and am ready to buy.
Will be checking out a couple more shops in the area.
Did my courses at P&D but didn't look at their handguns yet.
Wonder what their policy is?
