[QUOTE="cody6766, post: 2629464, member: 26511"] It's unfortunate they they suck so bad. I live pretty close and would shoot there, but the store is just unpleasant. They charge 2x H&H's price for the range, they're pretty much all dicks and they will openly lie to make a sale (availability, don't look at x, y is the best, etc.) I'd probably pay the premium to avoid driving across town, but not with the other crap stacked on top. I stopped in when shopping around for pocket .380s, just to fondle a few. The TCP was $100 more than Academy (and everywhere else it's sold) and the Diamondback was $150 more than Bass Pro! I understand small businesses need to charge a little more than big box stores, but $300 for a $200 gun is stupid. It's right up there with the Glock pricing mentioned above.
