Doug's a great guy...so is Tim. It's a great gun shop for Richmond and the surrounding areas.

Been there once and probably won't be back. Prices were extremely high. $35 for 50rds of 9mm. No thanks.

Uh huh.

Overpriced, not so friendly. Not great selection. Reminds me of Ludco in the early eighties. Pass.

^Exactly. I guess you can be that way when people don't know any better and lack of competition.

Doug is a great guy, Tim not so much. He's an arrogant, well never mind. His prices suck and so does his attitude.

Doug must be the former school teacher. If so, he does seem pretty decent. Tim, OTH, not so much.

Yes Doug was my PE teacher back in school.

i only met doug. and i'm pretty sure i know what was a good experience. maybe some haven't had the same there. sorry to hear. I've left many a gun store empty handed. I have realized comparing gun stores in this area isn't always apples for apples with indy. they may have lower prices but not if we have to drive 1.5 hrs. i got a good deal on the ammo too by the way. sometimes when you show your are serious about buying a gun things can be negotiated.... for what its worth

I've bought some ammo from them in the past but never an actual firearm. Every time I've been in there they have had too many customers for the help (generally 1 or 2 employees) to handle. Between that and the high prices on the rifles i like, i have never even considered talking to someone about a weapon.

As for the ammo, i bought a box of .22lr just as they were un boxing it. I paid what i consider "pre panic pricing." A week later i called and asked about 22lr. They had some in stock but the quoted price was ridiculous. I stopped in a few more times just to see if anything had changed...... it hasn't.

It is safe to say that i will continue purchase my used firearms through the classifieds and friends. My ammo will be purchased online. I hate it because i live a stone's throw from Black Bore.

I went to the Richmond gun show yesterday. Typical small show. I was impressed with how much AR stuff was there.
I was on the hunt for reloading stuff and there was only 1 table with reloading supplies.
Managed to snag 2000 CCI #500 small pistol primers for $74.
Also bought 2 used Glock 19 ten round mags for $10 each. Those will work good for IDPA.
I think those were the only good deals in the building.

Are you sure you weren't at the Richmond gun show?

Thought about going as I went there a couple years ago. Scored a Mosin for $70 OTD. Nice little show but nothing too impressive to look at.
