Spring Cypress south and east of 249. i haven't been in there in a while(6 months)but i thoughrt their prices were ridiculous. I was in a few months ago. Very friendly, but the prices were crazy. Not so good when you're that close to Tomball Pawn. +1 1000 for a DPMS is just nuts. Their prices on HK pistols are full-retard also. |

Disclaimer: I do not work there nor do any of my personal friends.
That being said... I've been in there several times and thought the prices were higher than most. I've not bought any firearms because of that, but I have bought some accessory stuff for my AR. The last time I was in there, I was joking that I wished they would hurry up and sell a particular AR that they had on sale so I wouldn't be tempted. The reply I got was, "make me an offer." Maybe their prices will come down a little. I'll be watching. |

Make a deal. I eyed something on the wall and he came off the price by a substantial amount. I've also bought something there and at check out received a cool guy discount w/o asking. Suckers beware and know what you're looking to buy/pay. and if you just gotta have it, expect to pay.
(Frankly, I don't see their prices as all that bad compared to Gander, Academy, Pruett's, Collector's etc., but that might be more about what I'm looking at buying.) |

I don't know about you but I only order firearms online these days and transfer them. It is always FAR cheaper then buying at a retail store. I've transfered to about 7 different FFL's over the years and never regretted it. I've saved so much money doing it that way. Places like budsgunshop.com, classicarms.us and aimsurplus.com are hands down better then buying locally.
The only other place I've been able to get halfway decent prices is at the gunshows, mostly pre-Obama. I have had good luck with some TX vendors at gunshows like Model 1 and Texas Tactical Gear. I've also bought stuff from Militarygunsupply for what I consider is acceptable "market price." Of the big box stores, I think Academy is the most reasonable. Gander, Bass Pro and so on are just outrageous these days. |
| I agree that buying firearms via the web can save you money and time searching to find what you want. I still try to purchase frequently from local shops since if we don't support them they will all disapear. I will pick up used guns, ammo and supplies locally whenever possible. |
| I llike sid and his store, and like to do business there. I have bought a number of guns and paid about the same or less than the much ballyhooed Tomball Pawn. Went to buy an HK @ TP and the salesman tried to sell me a used one for more than he had the new one marked for - just got to know what you are doing where ever you go. As the previous poster indicated, there is some value to keeping these little guys around, or is it just me that hates big box stores? |
| i agree with santini, the guys at spectre are very good guys to deal with. i was in the market for a glock 19 checked both places(tomball and spectre) spectre had it cheaper at 469.00 plus a free cigar. i also hate big box stores like gander and academy. in fact i checked some other prices while i was in spectre and found them way cheaper than all the big box stores and nowhere near as high as collectors...........picked up an dpms AP4––carbine for 850.00. |
