Man, I'm just on a 5 star run lately. What can I say? I was impressed by just about everything at Get Some Guns. When I walked in the door, as in most large gun shops, I was just a little bit overwhelmed by all of the selections they had to choose from. I went, not so much to buy a sidearm, but with a mission in mind. I went to replace a missing part to a very expensive pistol, and I knew that at the very least the part was going to need to be ordered.
Enter Ryan. I guess that he saw the wide eyed look I had because he knew that I was sort of lost. He asked me what he could do for me. I told him that I needed an 8-shot magazine for a Walther P5 semi automatic pistol. Of course, he gave me the frown that I was afraid of. He said, "Yeah, those are kind of rare, and pretty hard to come by..."
Instead of giving me the runaround, and pulling out some dusty old gun parts catalog, he said that my best bet to find one would be on the Internet. Now, what shop employee in any business tells you the best place to find what you need would be a used-part and on the Internet, to boot?
Right there and on the spot, he took me over to the company computer, and logged-on to a used gun parts website. Ryan put in my information, and up popped about seven different items having to do with my particular model. And wouldn't you know it, some fellow in Alabama was selling not one, but two of the exact item I needed. I knew that the price for a new magazine would be about $89 per piece. That is, if that particular part could even be found. Sure enough, the used and in perfectly good condition magazines were being sold for $59 each.
Now, because of the fine service I received, I started looking around at some of the smaller 9mm handguns to be used as my concealed carry piece. I had a general idea about which model I had the most interest in, because I had been to Cabelas earlier in the day. Cabelas had the model I was looking for, but not the correct caliber. The price for the gun I was looking for seems to be about $440.00 just about everywhere in both 9mm and .40 caliber.
Ryan not only let me handle the weapon as much as I wanted, but invited me back to test fire the weapon at their in-house gun range. I had asked several other gun shops whether or not they had this particular model for rental so I might be able to shoot it before I buy it. Nobody had one, except this shop. And, by the way, the price for the model and calibre I was looking for, $389.00!!!
Without question, because of the customer service I received, this is where I will be buying my handgun. I see where other Yelpers have had perhaps not as good an experience as I did, and that's cool. Everybody can have an off day. For Ryan, this was not one of those days. I heartily endorse this particular gun shop, and without question give them 5 full stars. read more
