Granpa's pawn and guns

[bryjcom]

What gets me is he states that Buds sells guns cheaper than he can get them wholesale.

Then buy the from Buds you fucking dope!!!

Sounds like he needs to get a new distributor....

For those that live in the Longmont Area - Bear Arms in Windsor are good guys with competitive prices. Saw them at the Tanner yesterday, as well. I think they will be my gun shop from now on. Knowledgeable, very friendly, and good prices go a long way.....

They have Jensen Arms prices but with out the shitty attitude.
Good guys to deal with over at Bear Arms.

Ya Bear arms is the way to go. I have been to grandpas a couple times looking but I can buy new way cheaper then his used normally.

I'm also going to check out 5280 Armory. My only day off is Sunday and now that I know they are open on Sundays, I'm gooing to give them a try. I have heard good things about them

"Support Your Local Business", does not mean, spending your money with some no customer service giving, grumpy old fuck.

I suggest that quote #2 actually describes 5280 pretty well. I don't recommend them or their idea of "service".

Gun shops need to learn the importance of value-added retailing.

Granted I have only been in there once, I Called, asked about XD Mags, The lady was very pleasant and helpful. I went in and received polite and helpful service with a tactical light as well as the magazines.

5280 was nice to me.
your experiences may differ.

Just emailed Grandpas and see what they respond as.

Also Bear Arms in Windsor is a great shop to do business with. They are my first shop I will be calling fir every purcahse I make through a gun shop.

Not a fan of 5280 after they yelled at me for racking the slide on a gun I wanted to buy. Guy said "if we let every customer in the shop rack the slides then they will get worn out." Then he grabbed it out of my hand and put it under the counter. What a dope. If it gets worn out from 10 guys racking the slide, what is going to happen after I put 100 rounds through it during my first trip to the range???? If I can't function check a gun, I'm not buying it.

Lost the sale and lost my business.

+1 for GMG. Bought a few guns there and have always been nice. They do however get busy and it is sometimes hard to get help.

That's relatively consistent with my experience at 5280, which is posted elsewhere on this board.

Cliff's Notes: Matt's the "customer service challenged" one. Basically, I asked if he could toss in an extra mag on a gun purchase, to bring it more in line with online pricing. He grabs the rifle from hands, goes into a long goddamn tirade about the state of gun retailing, lectures me incorrectly on how a FFL transfer works, and how people like me are the "problem" because "rogue" FFL dealers let me use their "privilege" of ordering direct from manufacturers.

Apparently, the 19th century mail-order revolution bypassed that part of Arvada.


Addendum: Everyone else in the shop seems pretty even-keeled, and the lady, as mentioned, is fantastic about CS. It's just problematic when the owner can't control himself. I can't fucking wait for Bowers to get their FFL.
