    YES ! I was just going to put up a post then I saw this one. Been in there 3 times now and bought a Ruger SR 40c off them. Very pleased with the people, not pushy at all and will take the time to talk to you even when they are very Busy. They have several guns and some AMMO. Mostly hand guns but are doing very well on long guns as they are building inventory. That must take a boat load of cash to build the inventory LOL....any glad to see a good gun shop in Terre Haute.

    It used to be open in the old Ellis building that sat at this same location back in the mid-90's. I bought a Glock off of them back in '96. Lots of AR, AK, and handguns. I was looking for a shotgun but most of their stuff seems to be HD oriented.

    Just bought a Savage Axis in .308 from Top Guns. Great people to deal with! I will definitely continue to do business there.

    I remember them back from the '90s. Very nice folks. I special ordered a Marlin 1895 Guide in .45-70 from them. Still got the bruise to prove it :)

    I've been in there a couple of times when in TH here this past month or so. Haven't had any extra moneys to purchase, but they seem like really great folk to work with.

    I'm going to have to stop in tomorrow and check this place out. Heard a radio advertisement this morning for Top Guns and it said they had over 100 AR's in stock! That is quite an inventory. Anyone know who owns the place?

    One of the Ellis brothers owns the shop. I'm not sure of his name, but it's not Mike or Kal.

    to be honest I know he's (Steve) an Ellis, but Im not sure that they are blood brothers.

    He is a nice guy though.

    You may be correct. I do know that he's related somehow. OP, no matter how you feel about his family the owner has treated me quite well. The shop has fair prices and is one of the only shops with a moderately well stocked inventory locally. You should definitely stop by.

    Was down on the South end running errands today so I thought that I would stop in and give it a look. Finally a place really close with an actual selection! They were super cool, let me wander around and soak it all in. Engaged in small talk. Super nice guys. Ended up walking out of there with an LCR I didn't plan on buying. Will def head there before looking elsewhere.

    First time in there today - very impressed. Lots of knowledge, everyone there is friendly and low pressure. combined, they probably showed me 30 guns and I made it clear before I started I wasn't there to spend any money on this visit. Would highly recommend!
