I noticed on another thread there were several post of people disliking AO.
Me personally? I’ve purchased several guns from them over the years. First when they were across from Old South Barbecue then when they moved to South Cobb Dr and from their newest location. They have never been all that friendly. Here is my opinion. I do my best not to shop there these days. I did buy a 365 from them in 2018 and a Ruger Mk lV a couple of years ago. The guys in the Sig and Glock section are pretty nice. The rest of the store? Not so much. And the range? Total rude. I will not shoot there. I think it must be a prerequisite to be a dick to get a job in there. I shoot at governors and if I have time my favorite range is Appalachian in Jasper. They have a 50 yard range also.
Several years ago I went to AO with cash in hand to buy a FNX 45. The dude showed it to me then said,”If you want it you better buy it. It’s our last one”. I looked at him and said,”Man, I’ve bought guns from y’all for years. My gun safe came from y’all. You know how many times y’all have used those same words to me? Here, keep it”. I drove straight to Cabbalas, paid $25 more for it.
Anyways, I’m sure I’m not going to make a difference to them but, I was wondering what other folks opinions were.
