Ron, I have seen them at two gun shows and did visit their shop a year or so ago. The shop didn't do a lot for me since I am blind as a bat and was hard to see their stuff. Will go back, jst on their site over the weekend checking out their mosin prices.
Also, looking at the quote in your post . I NEED TO READ WHAT I PLAN TO POST!
I just got home from Smyrna Police Dist., bought a Gen.4 Glock 26. People were respectful and the whole process was smooth. I bought a Blackhawk holster, mag extensions and a spare mag. The 26 came with 3 mags and interchangeable back straps. I called Ed's before I left this morning and the girl there was a total idiot, she said they don't have any Glocks right now but would be getting some soon. Saved me a trip. I doubt if I ever will go to Ed's. They are a Distributor, I highly doubt they don't have any Glocks right now. AO is not a favorite store, haven't been to the new one since they sucked so bad at the old one. I realize SPD is a sister store, but the people sure treated me good today. Cherokee is a good store, friendly and have a good stock. I have bought 4-5 guns there in the last 2 years. I tend to buy my ammo from Kudzu since it is right down the street from me. I have been in Lakeside a few times, not really impressed. The young guys there seemed more interested in their Tacticool black rifles than waiting on a customer. I wanted to look at a few Glocks since I was in the market, they could have cared less. There was 2 customers and 5 employees......and they were busy talking to each other. No one has any Glock 19 Blue Label right now, I would have bought one today also. The Pawn shop near me must get their prices from the same people that price guns here........lol, they have a sign that says they will order any gun for $40 over their cost. I priced a few with them and told them they were $100 more than I can buy them retail almost any place else, they do tend to sell a lot of the $200 High Point C9's though.
Its amazing how you can get such different experiences day to day. I called Friday about a Glock 17 and they said they got a shipment of over 100 in earlier that morning. I picked one up Saturday without an issue.
Like: Dana Supply in Buford, Forsyth Pawn in Cumming, Davids' in Norcross (It's hit and miss with attitudes in there)Adventure Outdoors ( When I go to AO, I am only there to pick up a NEW gun I ordered over the net at the best price around and most of you are right. Their customer service is non existent)
Dislike: I think the only place I go to look at guns and accessories is gun shows.

I took my wife to Bullseye in Lawrenceville about two years ago so she could buy her first gun. After looking around for about 5 minutes and asking the arrogant @$$hole behind the counter a few questions, he looked my wife and told her he thought she was making a straw purchase for me. He snatched the paperwork she was filling out and ripped it up, then kicked us both out of the store...I even offered to fill out the transfer forms for the purchase, but he still declined. I will neither go back to that $hit hole, nor recommend them to anyone.
The folks at trigger time are great to deal with!

No one has mentioned Georgia Gun in Gainesville. They have fantastic prices on guns - probably the best I've seen. The lady that works there doesn't know what in the hell she is doing, but the guy is good.
Great: 400 J&L, Cherokee Gun and Pawn, GA Firing Line
Good: AO for ammo, but only on a week day, Forsyth Co Pawn
Sucks: Pannels, Pannels, Pannels

Gables in Douglasville is the same way. They are overpriced as well. Ill never give them my business again.
