Going to be in the Tempe and Phoenix area for a few days, Sunday to Tuesday. Any good Tactical shops around? Found a few online but everything looks good on a website! Don?t want to spend the day running from shop to shop. Hit two or three up.
If you know of a good one please advise.
Thanks in advance.

Hmmmm, I was at a nice shop in Tempe about two years ago. But I'm blanking on the name. From a Google maps glance, I think it was Arizona Firearms 1316 W. University which is on the route of the free shuttle vans that circle around Tempe from their transit depo near city hall.

There’s a good shop in Avondale but it’s been years since I’ve been there.

Sounds good. Anyone heard of Tombstone Tactical?

Mods I spelled Puhonix on purpose. Reference to a commercial a few years back!! Hahahah

There's a few shops in the valley. HOWEVER. I suggest you carry an AED with you. AZ is damn proud of their gun prices. As in CA relocated gun owners have no issue paying $7-900 for a PSA AR. That's from more than 1 gun shop.

Those MSRPP prices you see on line, yet always lower in CO. Not happening almost every gun i've looked at was full on MSRP.

The up side to AZ is (for now) we're full tilt cash n carry FTF sales.

I was in Tombstone Tactical a couple of years back, pretty uninspiring. I got the feeling they're more internet sales oriented than brick and mortar browsing.

Not tactical, but the Blue Adobe on Country Club and Main has some of the best food I have had.

The Tucumcari Tenderloin will change your life.

I have not found much down here, most have been disappointing.
True Shot are good guys. They sell ammo and arms. Small store front big warehouse.
Cactus Tactical (Deer Valley) doesn't have a store front, online only.
Arizona Firearms is a throwback, kinda like Firing Line or Green Mountain. Decent selection, odd employees.

I am up near Dillon and Scottsdale GC. You could blow some coin and rent FA stuff at SCG or C2 tactical if you want...

Lots of good info! Just got here about 45 minutes ago and have some road fatigue.

Gonna narrow down the restaurants and shop to visit tomorrow.
We have a tour of ASU Tuesday so Monday is open...as long as I get the wife to a mall I’m good to go.

I called Tombstone once. They listed a B&T APC9 I want. They listed them on their site as "in-stock", but don't actually have them there. They use their distributors list and drop-ship to you. I might have bought it, if I could play with it first. Too much cash for a sight unseen purchase.

Lots of good food in Mesa (Chinese/Asian/Mexican). Just down the road from ASU.
