I've purchased a number of firearms online but I spend a lot more time researching my purchase before buying than I would otherwise. I also make it a point to call a product specialist if I have any question whatsoever about exactly what I'm getting. Once I even went so far as to ask him to get the firearm in his hands and call me back so I could ask him some questions. This was on a military surplus rifle but I would do the same thing for a new gun if I had any misgivings whatsoever.
That being said, I don't have a LGS nearby that has any kind of reasonable prices so I really don't have much choice but to buy online. It would probably be different if I did.
