Sad to hear a shop owner would make to feel that way after all you are his livelyhood. But I agree if you don't feel welcome , walk away.
I really dont mind paying a bit more for my Rugers at Panther City The personal sevice I get there more then makes up the differance.

We are fortunate to have quite a few mom and pop shops here locally and I try to visit them all. I'll admit to also browsing our Academy Sports but over the years have only purchased one SR1911 from them.
New Model Stuff:
DNW Outdoors
1711 E Parker Rd
Jonesboro, AR 72404
(870) 972-5827
They are not an authorized Ruger dealer and only carry new stuff but they do get in a lot of the Talo, Davidsons, etc. exclusives and some random regular release items. The guys know me, work with me on prices, text me when I need a notice, and it's locally owned. A great all around sporting goods store.
Old Model Stuff:
Gee Street Pawn
1101 S Gee St
Jonesboro, AR 72401
(870) 935-6031
Junior and Wanda are awesome and always keep me in mind when something interesting Ruger related shows up. You never know what they are going to come up with and since I collect other things too, are great people to know.
Both of these places have hurt my wallet but it's not their fault. I appreciate all they do for me.
