So way back in the day, AO was my favorite LGS, this way back before I had ever even heard of ODT or Cherokee Gun. Back then they had a great selection and decent prices so I thought. I once bought a used Beretta 92 Elite from them for about half it’s real value and which I sold a few years later when I needed the cash for double what I paid for it at AO.
I like the new store. It’s the single best place to window shop and I still buy an occasional gun from there, mostly because they have the best selection and the guys behind the counter have always been great to me.
I really don’t understand the AO hate, sure they charge a premium, but you are paying for the selection and the store size. To me, it’s like Carmax sure you can buy a used car cheaper at many other places, but you pay a premium at Carmax due to the selection and convenience.
And some of you guys rant about their gun prices, on most days AO’s used Glock prices beat the ODT so there is that...lol
