And if the 'dealer' is a Gander Mountain store, staffed by what can only be described as 'sales clerks', then they don't know what to look for, no matter what manufacturer/model firearm is being traded in.
I had occasion to visit a GM store in a nearby city and I had to talk a clerk [middle-aged, not a kid] through the differences between 22LR, 22Short; target and hi-velocity, before he could even look for the cartridges I wanted (22's are not stocked on the floor). And this was before they hired the holiday drones.
While there I looked at the used handguns and was surprised to see they still had Walther P1's at $499. That has got to be the best deal going.
