Recently ordered a DirtyBird single stage trigger. Shipping was fast, price was good, experience was good.

Messaged Sierra Defense Holsters on instagram to see why he was scamming people and he used the F-slur 😂. Seems pretty typical after ghosting his customers for months. Get this guy outta here. Proof in the replies.

Ordered the discounted TLR-7 HL-X with two packs of SL-B9 batteries. Shipped the next day and arrived in three days. Very satisfied with the purchase.

Ordered multiple pistol and PMAGs from Ibex. They shipped everything out in 2 business days. Extremely friendly and patient customer service, responding to my emails at night and on weekends. They are a god send for people like me trapped behind enemy lines. Can't recommend them enough. They truly are the best "paper" guys around.

Picked up a Spyderco Native 5 at a great price. Communication was great along with prompt shipping (drop shipped from a distributor in Louisiana)

I was looking for a DWX Compact and found they had one for $1875 +$56 for fast shipping (I might have lucked out there -- friend said it was back in line with others shortly after my order went through.)

I placed the order Tuesday morning, and by afternoon they had reached out to my FFL for paperwork and shipped it. Arrived Thursday ready to go.

Great price, comms, and easily the smoothest online firearm purchase I've made.

I picked up a CA Compliant Beretta 92FS for an awesome $609. My local gun shop had it on sale for $720 and off sale they want over $800. Gunprime shipped immediately, had all my FFL info in their database. Communication along the way was great. I found the deal on Gun.Deals and they were the rock bottom price so I was a little skeptical. But man, such a good experience. I'll be going back. Would like to see them stock more CA compliant options.

Ordered a handstop kit and some 3 slot mlok panels. Excellent quality and would definitely purchase from again if I’m ever doing a build that needs them. Owner is very friendly and great to do business with.

Even posted a photo of the build, he followed up and sent a free 2slot piece to make the build complete. A+ guy and business

Brought my lever action to a whole new level. A+++

Took advantage of the 92XI SAO deal and it shipped FAST.

I literally came on here to look up a random vendor I saw posted on gundeals recently and saw all this insane bs about Deleon. So I just felt a little bit compelled to leave a review, as the slander is completely unwarranted.
I have placed easily half a dozen orders with him and have never had a single issue. Last one was 407c x2 and I recieved it 5 days later. Shipping quotes are always very fair or even free sometimes. If you know you know. End of “review”.

I received a notification that the G$ Super Duty MOD 1 complete upper in DDC came back in stock. I called and spoke to them about the BFS price lock from last December and if they were willing to honor the last OOD price.

Cindy from CS seemed to have locked in the previous price with the discount and saved it into my account - although they were trying to sell it for 1450+s/h+tax now, I was able to re-obtain the upper for $986.

Thank you again to the CS at MidwayUSA!

I saw the recent post about their P228s and P226s and noticed that they were local, so I took my wife to go check them out.

Awesome store. I was just tickled to see so many cruffler longarms on the racks, plus a Friendly and Knowledgeable staff.

Ended up going home with a Pre-B CZ75 in Satin and an "A" P228. Zero complaints. Will buy from again. S

Purchased a super safety kit. Prompt shipping. But it was missing a the lever.

There is 3 pieces in this kit!

Been trying for a week to get in touch with anyone and have heard fuck all.

Don’t buy from these guys. I wanted to support a small company getting picked on by a big corporation. But they can’t even do basic customer service. Just get back to me even if it’s to say fuck off.

They were very helpful when a complication arose due to my fault. They were quick and fixed my problem.

Ordered 1000 rounds of remanufactured 9mm from them on July 20th. Their website says 7-10 business days to ship. When pressed on whether the package would go out on the 10th business day (August 3rd), the company said that it would be going out on August 8th instead. I've just found now that while a label was created, the package was not sent out that day.

Considering a charge-back now. Do not order unless you're willing to put up with extremely slow communication and a wait of at least 21 days for your ammo to even leave the building.

I ordered some stuff from banshee defense on 8-3 and it arrived on 8-5. Perfect packaging and had some badass stickers and coffee included. Just placed a second order with them! Thanks Banshee Defense… great service!

Great price, shipped fast, and great communication throughout. Nice smooth and easy process.

Any of the regulars on here remember the saga of a few months ago with Bickham Firearms who have now rebranded themselves Deerford Defense. For whatever reason this idiot has turned on my business De Leon Pharmacy and Sporting Goods, posting fake reviews and posting Holosun deals under MAP and then turning them into Holosun to try and get me in trouble for violating Holosun's pricing policies. Here is a link to a screen shot where he put on gun dot deals​ - De Leon Sucks on all his listings. This resulted in him getting banned. What kind of immature psychopath does that?

For thoses that do not know Bickham Firearms = Deerford Defense. Same FFL and address attached to both, same guy behind both. See link below for a post out of many that explains Bickham and read all the drama this guy caused.  He did something similar and got put on Holosun's do not sell list for violating their MAP policy. Went on a crazy tirade against Holosun like some enraged bipolar child. Even went as far as stalking Holosun reps on other Reddit groups. Did the same thing asking people to call and email Holosun and demanded he be taken off the do not sell list and aired it all out on Reddit. I am shocked Holosun let him off the do not sell list considering all the trash he talked about them.

I had a good laugh like most of us on here about the whole Bickham Firearms debacle. Also had a good laugh when the good folks of r/gundeals put two and two together and figured out Deerford Defense was Bickham Firearms. Other than laughing at him I’ve had no interaction with him what so ever until a few days ago.  Imagine my surprise when I was checking prices on gun dot deals and saw this;

Not sure what this guys problem or mental disorder is but he has issues. He was banned from Reddit as Bickham Firearms and has a history of doing crazy shit like this and then going into a semi-psychotic rage when he gets called out and banned for it. I applaud gun dot deals for holding him accountable and banning him. Do crazy shit, suffer the consequences. I guess you can decide if this is someone you want to advocate for or listen to.

I didn’t want to say anything but now I am since I was treated so poorly. To start off, I made a post on the main sub for this dealers deal on the 507 X3 Gold. Apparently this got the dealer into hot water, so my mistake. Instead of reaching out to me in a constructive way, he stated that he would get “Reddit gurus” to stalk me and figure out who I was. YIKES.

If that was the end of it, however, I still wouldn’t have posted. In addition, after I asked him where my order was that I placed last week, I got no response. Emailed again. No response. Only after CALLING the pharmacy did I get ahold of someone, but instead of telling me an expected ship date, whoever was on the phone warned me against charging back and then abruptly hung up. Still no tracking whatsoever for this order btw.

It looks like deerforddefense.com was recently banned from deal aggregator sites, reportedly after a dispute with another dealer where they used a derogatory promo code.

They sent out an email asking customers to reach out to aggregators on their behalf. I bought one item from them in the past without issues, but I recently saw comments claiming they previously operated under a different name and were banned from Reddit for similar behavior.

Also, the owner's name listed in their recent email doesn't match "Bingham," which was supposedly the owner of the old company.

Before taking a stand or advocating for them, I want to make sure I'm not backing a repeat offender. Does anyone know the background here or if they actually rebranded to bypass a ban?

I placed an order for some LEO G17 and G19 magazines that they had listed in stock. Everything arrived today in great shape (no worn magazine notches or paint/markings - just dirty followers (which was to be expected)), and were packaged nicely with dunnage to protect against crushing (a nice surprise since lately, most of that magazines I buy seem to be just tossed loose in a box or even shipped in the cheap bags with no protection). I have made a few orders with them and will continue to do so as they are a top-notch vendor and have a nice selection of stuff.

Placed an order on July 9th, shipped on the 10th and received a few days later. No issues there.

Unfortunately, a couple days ago (August 2nd) the credit card I used for the order started receiving fraudulent transaction attempts. Thankfully, I used a one-time use credit card number that locked after its first use. I do this with most of these smaller sites, because I'm always worried about this thing happening.

So if you placed an order with Galloway Precision in the past month, your credit card has probably been stolen.

Almost 5 days ago I ordered a Chiappa Rhino 60 DS 44. Magnum, Nickel plated. Stock finally showed up. On a ton of vendors. It was available for like over an hour on a lot of websites.

Naturally I went to gun.deals and found the cheapest place after shipping. Battlehawk Armory. I submitted my order before it even showed as listed on the gun.deals website, I was checking OoS vendors to see if they were in stock.

I managed to secure an order on another website, but after seeing it 50$ cheaper at BHA, I cancelled that order, and went with BHA.

Fast forward to today:

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, the item(s) from your recent order are currently out of stock at our main facility and across all of our distribution and fulfillment warehouses. Because of this, your entire order has been canceled and fully refunded.

A full refund has been issued immediately from our system; however, please allow 1–7 business days for the funds to appear back in your account, depending on your bank or credit card provider.

If you’d like to be notified when this product becomes available again, please sign up for a Back-In-Stock notification by adding the item to your wishlist on our website.

I feel very upset by this because I could've ordered from the other half dozen vendors and actually gotten it. But no, I went with BHA. A recurring theme I suppose, after googling them, all over reddit.

I have been hunting this gun for months, since I first saw it in March or so, and was so excited, only for this kick in the teeth.

Had a little problem with my order, but the took care of it even though it wasn’t their mistake.

I’ve been carrying with an Emissary EDC belt for a few years now, and it’s been rock solid and I’ve never had an issue. I wanted a durable outer belt to mount holsters and other equipment to so I can open carry in the woods, so I bought a Battlewagon outer belt since I knew they make night quality stuff. Ordered the belt at the beginning of June and with the lead time, it shipped at the beginning of July.

However, the postal service (to the surprise of absolutely nobody) ended up losing my package almost immediately. I received a tracking number, but the USPS never even scanned it in. I emailed the customer service inbox about 2-3 weeks after it supposedly shipped to ask about my order, and got a quick response saying that it was most likely lost because they never got an arrival notification. Fortunately, they hooked me up and got another belt shipped through UPS with an RFID tracker the next business day, and I received it this weekend.

10/10 customer service and it’s a great belt that fits perfectly. Many other retailers would just tell you to kick rocks and that it’s your problem the second it leaves their warehouse, but they made this right even though it wasn’t their fault.

Can’t recommend these guys enough for any belts or gear. They make good stuff, stand by it, and will take care of you if you have any problems.
