There are gunshops you walk into and you know within a few moments whether of not you will get a straight answer or a sales pitch. You will know within seconds if the sales gun/owner gives a rats ass about his customers or thinks his customers (you) are a nuisance to his day.
Yesterday, I called a local gun shop that I found on the Internet. I have not seen this place before, but I know the area it is in very well. So, in my mind, "COOL !! New place to haunt." The reason I was looking online for gun stores, was that I was trying to find a local place with a S&W M&P Compact in 9 mm for a friend. I called the shop and a gun answers in a rush. I ask about his inventory of that weapon and it's cost.
The reply I got was, "Umm, yeah. I think we have one. As for the price, I don't really know. Go to our website and do a search for it."
His websites "search" is actually Davidson's Gallery of Guns. So, the price listed was the distributor price for customers to order a gun to be sent to his store. Needless, to say, I was already at that site. I also know that Davidson's is not the only dealer out there and most gun shops order from a number of them at the best price. Soooo, often times a gun shop will have a gun at a lower price then the distributor price is.
First strike on this gun store. My friend and I will visit this place on Monday. I only offer two strikes to be out... But, they do get a second chance.
