In addition to postban's list:
Bass Pro Shops at Great Lakes Crossing Mall in Auburn Hills Target Sports in Orchard Lake Motor City Gun Works in Keego Harbor Target Sports in Royal Oak Close Quarters Tactical in Utica Gander Mountain in Utica Action Impact in Southfield Firing Line in Westland Cabela's in Dundee Cabela's in Saginaw Does he have a MI concealed pistol license (CPL)? Either way, if this is his first handgun experience in MI, I'd suggest going to an FFL vs. a private sale. That way, the FFL will be able to make sure the MI RI-60 Pistol Registration forms are filled out correctly and tell him what to do with them. |

Firing Line in Westland, those assholes will never see dime from me. They treated my son and I like total shit. Rude, arrogant, nose down.
And most of them are LE or previous LE. Fuck them. |

Another vote for GB2 in Livonia.
I think shooters went Tango Uniform in Livonia, right? They were horrible, absolutely horrible. Too many DEVGRU guys working there and too many "all you need to do is rack this baby and the intruder is running" guys working there peddling higher than new prices for used guns and TAPGO UTG shit. Gun prices in are, I think, are way too high in our area. Have your buddy find one and use a local FFL and save a bunch of money. Good deals at Dunhams, often, but don't tell anyone. |

They really are assholes. Bonus: I called about a 100th anniversary 1911 and they said they had one, new. I got there and looked at it and I swear the bushing and end of the slide looked like they took a pair of channellocks to it to remove the bushing for some reason. I'm sure Top Gun down in Taylor appreciated the extra business. |

I've scored some great deals there. Dunham's has good sale prices. |

What the heck you guys? He's in Auburn Hills. Livonia? Westland? He'll burn more in gas driving there than what he'll save.
FALARAK send him to Bass Pro (IN Auburn Hills) or Geno's tools and guns in Waterford. |

FALARAK send him to Bass Pro (IN Auburn Hills) or Geno's tools and guns in Waterford. If you call first, and they have what you want in stock, I think its worth the drive. Sometimes shopping around is part of the fun. You get to visit other gun stores. I've seen Bass Pro pricing and have to differ with your thoughts on savings. Firing Line is 35miles from Bass Pro. So, round trip 70miles. Average 15MPH x $2.40 per gal= $11.20 in fuel costs. I've seen plenty of firearms at Bass Pro priced way over that compared to others. So, the drive may be worth it. |

Not out of the question, I have driven distances to check out gun stores too. Just wanted OP to know that closer options existed and that 35 miles can suck.

Oakland Tactical is right up an Arfcommer's alley for EBRs. Good selection of handguns, but not the brands your friend wants. Accurate may have more of those brands. A3 was interesting the one time I made it in there. |

Every time I went in, I got treated like boot scrapings after a walk through a cow pasture. So I stopped going there. |

If you have BRD, you should take a designated credit card holder when you visit Oakland Tactical!

Edit: Nevermind, I Googled them and found their website... They're "behind the Dairy Queen" so I can get a Blizzard after I go touch guns.

Not only you - I went there just one time and nobody wanted to help me, then they were very dismissive and told me they were trying to close up early (it was hours before their normal closing time and there were a few employees in there.) I had cash in hand that day too.

Another one to try is Genos Tools and Guns in Waterford.
They are much closer to AH than the others and they are really super friendly. |
