He doesn't know I am getting over an elbow and shoulder injury, he said he would stop me from shooting if he saw muzzle flip again on the camera he was watching me from on his computer, well well Oly, muzzle flip, what a farse, of course guns have muzzle flip or rise when shooting, The range fee is too high as well. see here, this is how shot my 1911 https://youtube.com/shorts/fI-BQ3VqmQk?si=gqNAbmF7hpIK2HUN https://youtube.com/shorts/vgi_1s5eZmA?si=pC2-4PoP8lpNqjsb 10 years of knowing him and he treated me like red headed step child.

Updated review: I…read morerecently returned to this shop with a friend who was interested in purchasing a firearm, and I'm happy to report that the experience was outstanding. Not only did they have the exact model she was looking for (coincidentally, the same one I wanted to purchase originally), but the staff was noticeably more professional and welcoming this time around. While my friend certainly turned a few heads--she's objectively very striking--what stood out more was the consistently courteous and knowledgeable service we both received. It felt genuine and customer-focused, which made the entire visit smooth and enjoyable. The staff was so helpful and relaxed that I ended up making a few purchases myself--completely unplanned, but I couldn't resist. It's possible my earlier experience was just an off day, and this visit definitely changed my perspective. As a nice bonus, they even gave me a handful of stickers for my gun room wall, which was a thoughtful touch. Based on this most recent visit, I'm fully revising my original review and now highly recommend this store for your firearm and ammo needs. Great selection, solid customer service, and a team that knows how to make you feel welcome. Paraphrased other experience: I felt ignored and took it personal.

The shop has the familiar feel of a classic surplus store, but what stood out most was the older gentleman behind the counter. He was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable--engaging without being overbearing, which we really appreciated. He pointed us in the right direction and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. Not only did we find what we needed, but everything was very affordable--which was a pleasant surprise. For anyone working on a project or just looking for solid military gear without breaking the bank, this place is worth checking out. Coming from a proud military family--my sons, their father, my husband, grandparents, and great-grandparents have all served--I truly appreciated his candor and expertise. It's clear this isn't just a shop; it's a space built on experience and respect. Highly recommend. We'll definitely be back.
