Hey Albuquerque!
I was put on to Charlie's Sporting Goods six years ago. What strikes me most is the ability to do business. Charlie has the guns well marked ""new"", 'used"" or ""consignment"". There is no mistake on what you are purchasing. (And remember, all NEW guns have been fired from the manufacturer before hitting the stores.)
The attitudes of the employees is great. Everyone wants to help.
In my six years dealing with Charlie's I have bought or traded SEVERAL times. I am telling anyone... ""Go to Charlie's and have fun"". Another thing, when I am in gun departments of other shops... everyone is or has been dealing with Charlie's and have nice things to say and stories to compare.
I just traded for a new Ruger on Monday. Went very well and very fair. The wife and I went to the range that same evening and had a ""blast"".
Thanks to my buddy up in Edgewood for suggesting ""Charlie's"".
P.C.
