Gunstore expansion (Lafayette)

[Kirk Freeman]

Coming back from night court in Delphi I stopped in Arrows III on the 2800 block of State Road 25 North to buy a few boxes of ammo (I like to spread the love). While there I observed a handwritten sign on cardboard stating that "handguns coming soon".

While paying for the ammo and knife I bought the cashier confirmed that Arrows III was getting into the pistol business, expanding from the shotguns, .22 rifles and blackpowder guns that they have sold for a long time.

I encourage my fellow Tippecanoe County INGOers to reward Arrows III for this decision.

Great! That's 5 miles from my house.

Fantastic! I've never been out that way, but I'm always excited to see some new gun shops!

 

[JohnP82]

Very cool! The more shops the better I wish them the best of luck

Wo? Is this "where" in German or a typo for "who"?

Don't forget Applied Ballistics systems in Lafayette. They have the nicest range I have seen other than one in Dallas, (the one in Dallas that is very nice is also almost three times as expensive to shoot at) good prices on firearms, a gunsmith shop and they treat you right. I may be old fashioned, but if one guy offers me nothing but a slightly lower price, and another guy gives me service as well, I will pay the higher price for the higher quality. It paid off one time when I had a brand new H&K Red Lion shotgun that was a jamming peace of junk. My full service dealer dealt with H&K three times to get the problem resolved. I do not think a "cheap price" seller would have helped me that much.

We would not dare forget Stan but he is not the theme of this thread. However, Stan has not expanded his store to my knowledge and Arrows III has.

If he does expand ABS, I shall endeavour to start a thread for that event.

Any additional firearms sales in town is great. Keeps the
competitive edge going!!!

Four Guns is the new name for the old Ace and Rico store. One of the previous owners bailed and a friend of ours bought out that share and they renamed the store and have big plans for the place. Doesn't look like much at the moment but I think it will be a great place soon.

Thanks for the update, Kirk! Also good to know that 4 Guns is coming in.

Ace and Ricos I belive has relocted to Greenbush and U.S.52
Eastway Plaza.

Good to know we will have to add them to our list of trolling stops.

The one time I stopped there was a very negative experience. Tried to make a purchase but the clerk just wasn't interested. I can't recommend the place myself.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

451, sorry to hear that. Cannot explain it.

Yep, think they are still just running by appointment only though for the time being. I did a transfer with Tim there and it's pretty big. "Four Guns" is opening where A&R was at. Alot going on in Lafayette!

After returning from Delphi today, I stopped in for an ammo run.

Maybe 10 pistols were for sale in the display cases.

It is a start at least.
