Recently, I was in the market for a new handgun and a couple buddy's of mine recommended that I go to Charlie's. They were very insistent that it was the best gun store in Albuquerque with a knowledgeable and friendly staff, so being a sucker, I took their advice. At the time I didn't know too much about firearms, I did some research on some pistols and found one that would fit my budget; to my 'luck' Charlie's had one in stock and it was 'new'. After I had made the purchase and and already taken in home, my father was inspecting the gun and asked why I bought a used firearm as he pointed out to me that the gun hadn't even been cleaned since it was last fired.
This was a suprise to me. I had be told that I was in fact buying a NEW firearm; instead, I was charged FULL price for a USED gun.
I will never do buisiness with Charlie's sporting goods ever again. Had I gone to another store and bought the same gun used, I would have saved over 300$.
Don't waste your time with this store.
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Everything
