Favorite Gun Shop?

That thread hasn't had a reply in 9 years!


OP, it depends on your location. Where are you?
I've bought a lot off this very site. You typically get a more knowledgeable seller, a better price, and no sales tax.
Guns Galore in Fenton has a good selection amd good prices but are known for pretty poor attitude towards customers (some of the associates, not all).
Cabelas and Field & Stream occasionally have good prices.
Michigan Shooting Center at Bald Mountain has a good selection of good guns (nothing cheap).
I like the guys at Motor City Gun Works but they don't have a huge selection.

No, this thread would have been denoted as having been split off from the other had that happened.

I have purchased some guns from Williams in Davison, I have had good and bad experiences. I have in the last few years purchased 90% of my guns online at Buds Gunshop (https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/index.php). I have a FFL only 3 miles from me that charges 25$ which is very reasonable. I have purchased 3 guns from GunBroker.com and had good luck on all 3 of them but I feel better with Buds. With the local gun shops it does come down to who you get to wait on you, I am sorry to say that the local bun store I have less than 5 miles from me is like that. There is 1 guy there that is great but every time I would go in I would get stuck with the not so good guy, I just quit going in and their prices were normally higher than Williams.

I've found that Thumb Gun in Almont is usually cheaper than Buds, and can get in most orders in two days. Great little shop that I will be doing more business with in the future.

Really? That's good to know. Will have to check them out.

I avoid all gun shops wherever possible. Low inventory, high prices, autistic mall ninjas behind the counters... Oh hey, we can order that, sure. But you should buy this Judge instead!

Unless it's a transfer, or a blue label, I have no use for them.

Buds isn’t as competitively priced as they used to be imho. Forgive me for getting off the OP’s subject with best brick & mortars, but as far as best online sites go I am familiar with gunbuyer.com and grabagun.com. If you know what you want then these are the best two on the web. Almost too easy if you have a regular FFL to do the transfers. Effortless, cheap, and
no BS.

If you are anywhere near Petoskey it's worth your time to stop in at Retro Firearms. They don't have an extensive selection of firearms but have many things to look at. Also an old metal and leather barbershop chair to sit in and shoot the breeze, although there might be a line. There is also a high turn over of guns, so something new or rather old all the time.
