5280 Gunz 'N Gearz

They still have the credit card thing, which is understandable, but I hate it, even though I use debit or cash every time anyways.

I tend to shop there a fair bit. They have been nothing but good to me in the past. At one point called me after close, to let me buy my gun after my back round check finished.

There prices aren't the best, and it seems like a place where you have to earn good treatment, which is crappy, but, once you get it, I like it. As to the guys behind the counter, at least most of them know their stuff, sadly this can be a rare commodity at gun stores.

I think this is funny, as a general rule, as "gun store guys" tend to treat the public like idiots, but they are far from gods generally, why just today I had to remind a store they had HK style sights mounted backwards on a display gun. <different store


All in all, I like it, not totally perfect, but find me a perfect gun store.

I'll be there for sure. Matt and Gina are good people.

I'm always surprised when people say they have bad experiences there. I have been a long time customer and have always been treated well. By Matt, Gina and all their employees. Their hours have always worked for me. They are open all weekend, which seems like it should accommodate most peoples schedule.

They earned my business unlike some other places.
Some days they are busy and a bit short, some days they will take me all around the store with my little .. ok, long.. shopping list. For the most part they do a good job IMO. Gina hunted down an item for me and the manufacturer is back ordered but she was able to get it from another store at less than suggested retail which was great for me.

As for prices, I saw a pistol they had, went to Bass Pro for some fishing stuff and saw the same pistol. $200 difference.
I like them and will continue to buy from them.

As usual, YMMV. I've tried to contact several people on the preferred vendors list yet they won't answer PM's, emails or phone calls yet other people swear they are the best in the business.

Never been. I thought they were farther north, but that is close enough to be doable...

In 2011 a shop, that has radio ads and large events such as these, charge extra for CC?

The girls are great, on the phone or in person. The guys behind the counter, can rank from really good, to dick heads. The credit card thing just pushes me over the edge.

I'm not saying I won't shop there but it's not the first place on my list. If they have something I need and I can only go on Sunday, I'll buy it. If it's any other day of the week, I'll look elsewhere.

[Byte Stryke]

your bank and all Merchants are going to start doing it soon...

Some already do it for Debit charges.
add that to the outrageous APRs and the banks are going to flop again and we will have to bail them out again.

I didn't mean any harm. I was only stating my experience which comes from a couple years ago, and for all I know they could be fantastic people. I just could never catch them when they were open .

[Ridge]

Had a good time there today. Friendly staff, lots of toys. Bought a few small things, wish I could've bought an STG-58. The cars out front were gorgeous.

Ya, good time. I really enjoyed getting the information right from the manufacturers there. I learned alot talking to the CZ guy. I got out of there only spending a hun.
