    I make it a point to stop in there when I'm on that side of town to look around. I don't get hassled by anyone, nor am I completely ignored if I am looking for assistance.

    Their prices are higher than a lot of other places, but they are a business and can price their stuff anyway they want. That being said, I don't need to spend my money there if I can find what I am looking for somewhere else at a cheaper price.

    I've bought a couple of guns there and I tend to peruse their consignment section a lot.

    Just my $.02. By the way, good meeting you the other day, Sneakerd!

    You too pal! I have seen the gamut as far as FL pricing. Some of their new current manuf guns are high retail. I have also seen and bought a screaming deal or 2 (in my opinion), with plenty in between.

    be honest Oneguy... did you have ANYTHING PD on you or do they know you as a LEO?

    one of my former professors is APD and he has no issues there... because they know he is PD.


    but as far as their knowledge of gun laws and customer service... the place could vanish and I wouldn't miss it.

    I Will drive past it 3 times to go to another shop.

    No one on here would ever call you a shill for liking a particular gun shop.

    I've been going to TFL for 10 + years.
    The employee turnover is really high. I've dealt with some arrogant jerks and others that were pretty cool and others in between.
    Richard (the guy with the British accent ) has always been very cool.
    Their prices can be a little high (way better than Gander though LOL) but I have gotten a few real good deals there(mostly on used stuff). I stop in there every so often because I live close by.
    Recently whenever I've stopped in there the employees have been very helpful and accomodating

    NEVER enjoy going in there... but they are the closest shop that i can go fondle MSARS at, and they sometimes have a good deal on used long guns...

    i do know that everytime i go to shoot handguns, they always bitch at me for doing double taps... im sure its more of a city policy, but come on, its two rounds... and, being 19, they always come to me with a condescending attitude... i know enough about firearms, thank you sir. i dont think i will ever buy anything from them.

    My experience there was average. I went in with the Wife to pick out a new handgun. The guy behind the rental counter was nice. but when we went to actually buy the gun the salesman acted like we were an inconvenience in his day and was just a complete asshole. He then turn us over to a more important man, possible the manager, who treated us about the same. Every time I would ask or say something he would give me the shortest answer possible and try to act like we weren't even there.

    Overall we got in, tried what we wanted and got what we wanted. The price of the gun was about 10 bucks less than other shops around town so the price is fair, just the service is rude. But in the end I don't care much about that since an hour later I am on the way home anyway. If we had needed more help or if I didn't know as much going in as I did it might have been an issue though.

    Hi
    I was there last night - no wait for the range - no problems renting a Glock 17 and shooting the $hit with 2 or 3 of the employees

    I will be getting a membership there shortly and will likely be going shooting on Sunday mornings

    At least 5 trips there so far without issue
