Advice On Buying Gun - Local Or Out-Of-State

Has anyone, preferably in CA, tried buying a gun from an out-of-state vendor using a local FFL as intermediary?

If I take some of the ads on GunsAmerica at face value, looks like I could save something like 30-35% over the price + taxes at my local gun shop.

I'm wondering how much hassle it is, how important it is to examine the gun before taking delivery, and if there are any pitfalls that I haven't thought of.

This would be for a S&W 1911, if it matters.

HardDrive, haven't you been looking into this issue?
