Recently I noticed a new gun store about 1/2 a block from our house. It was small and it looked like they didn’t have much inventory. I avoided going in because usually small gun stores are expensive. A few weeks later I was shopping for a fire arm for a Christmas gift and no one had it. I went into this new store (called Shooter’s spot) and talked with the owner Gabriel. While he didn’t have one in stock, he could order one and have it in 2 Business Days!!! I asked him about the price, waiting for sticker shock, but he quoted a price that was just $30 more (on an $800 purchase) than Cheaper Than Dirt. AMAZING! $100 – $200 less than any other price I’d received for the same gun locally.
I asked him about FFL transfers. (Online gun purchases must be shipped to and picked up from an FFL dealer.) Many gun dealers don’t like these, as it means that they aren’t making money on the purchase. Gabriel said they are happy to do it for a $15 fee. Yay! Now I can order my Mosin-Nagant without the stress of offending a local dealer.
When I went to pickup the firearm a dad and his younger son were leaving and Gabriel told the son to go grab one of the awesome Zombie blood splattering targets from the shelf and take it home as a present.
While I was waiting for my Felony check to run I browsed his store and saw that he had some generic “Tannerite” exploding targets on the shelf!!! A gun store that carries Tannerite! I don’t think anyone else carries that stuff locally. He also has ammunition at wholesale prices. Even Federal 5.56 x 45 NATO 20 round boxes for under $8. (For those of us with .223 specifically built to safely shoot them).
Anyways, if you live any where near University and Alma School I highly recommend you stop in and meet Gabriel. Super friendly, no hassles, good prices. And he is building up his inventory every week. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has to lease a larger place soon.
Shooter’s Stop is now my gun store of choice. Now if I can just convince my wife it’s good for your health and happiness to purchase a new fire arm every 6 months…
