Depends on how long you want to wait for it. Purchasing a popular pistol from a sponsor website may get you the best value eg. $99 pistol, but the wait may be long. Buying what you see from a local shop allows you to see and possibly try it before purchasing whether new or used, and by putting a deposit on it means it is only the government paperwork that you are waiting for and not shipping times or availability issues. This is also true if you purchase from the EE trusting them to a certain degree what they say (I see very few disappointments). You have excellent placemant as the preceeding post states and shopping within 1 hr or so of the GTA gives you a decent drive time to buy and pickup your new toy without the stress of the dreaded wait. I bought local because I could not stand to wait and tried several pistols of various kinds before deciding. I found that gun research and shopping is a lot of fun with the right club and friends.
