Doing a search on Columbia-area firearms dealers outside the usual PSA/Academy/SportsmansWhorehouse/Shooters Choice/etc. this listing came up.

Not familiar with Pistols Plus on Longtown Rd.

Anyone?

They're a Lipsey's dealer.  

I had a strange interaction with a floor staffer at Shooters Choice today.  I went in to check whether a certain revolver is available at Lipsey's.  The first guy knew what I was asking and put me in line to speak with one of the managers.  A second floor guy, non-manager, comes up to help.  I handed the second staffer a printout of a Lipsey's exclusive S&W revolver and asked "Is this item orderable at Lipsey's?"  The guy looked at me like I had three heads and was like "What are you even asking me?"  And wanted to argue with me about what I was asking, why, and generally denying Lipsey's was a thing .. while holding a printout from Lipsey's.  Apparently the guy's never been asked to order a gun and had no idea what Lipsey's is.  He took me over to the store manager who knew exactly what I was asking and did the lookup.

Add the mouthy New Yorker who popped off at me while I was trying to enter another store with him blocking both doors, it was a strange afternoon.

Lipsey also reps IWI stuff.

That place might have gotten a makeover but some things never change. Never.

I've bought 2 firearms from them.  Very nice people and I didn't complain about the prices.  They are also very close to my area, so I also enjoy the convenience.

Here's a selected review from their Google listing:

Terrible customer service. When I asked a question to the salesperson not only did the salesman give me the answer, the fat fella in the back room answered rudely as well.

Erick, I am sorry that you had a bad experience, and feel the need to call people names. We told you that the magazine would work in your firearm. you got upset when we told you that you could not open the sealed packaging and try it in your firearm even though the packaging stated on the outside that the magazine was for a P365 XL. Again I am sorry that you did not have a good experience with us today.

Erick should try ordering what he needs at Shooters Choice.
