I'm staring at a Ruger Security 9 for $269. It's tempting as all get out.

They got weird after Sandy Hook but seem to have mostly righted themselves. Just shopped there today

Academy is good to go IMO.  They pulled their ARs off the rack and hid them in the back a couple times after high profile mass shootings, but they were still available for sale to anyone who asked.

I luv me some academy, good prices on ammo and somewhat decent selection in the handgun cabinet.

I buy a good bit of ammo from them.  Their selection, prices, and being local is hard to resist.  I've never bought a gun from them though.

I have a $100 coupon until the end of the month on anything $500 and over. A 20" 590A1 is calling my name bad.

Just ordered ammo from them. Free shipping.
Never used them before...

Other than the amount of bullshit they make (or used to make) you fill out when buying a gun, they are ok.....

They're G2G.  They put their stuff on the down-low from time to time, but they sell it.

I have noticed that they haven't had any modern sporting rifles in their flyers in a few months.  Just pistols and Fudd guns.

Everytime I score a coupon from Academy I am off to buy ammo. I really like that Monarch 7.62x39. It stinks good.

I know I'm good with them.

.410 and 28-gauge AA's for 8.99/box makes it worth buying factory ammo.

Besides filling out the 4473 on a tablet, what else did you have to fill out?

I don't remember all the paperwork but one item says the minute you walk out the door, any problem are between you and the manufacturer.  They're not going to help at all.

Academy is GTG.
I purchase ammo and fishing tackle there frequently.

That said buying a firearm there is a royal pain in the ass.
Massive fucktardedness checking rechecking manager approval rechecking of 4473.
They even do background check on CHL’s.
I have stood there for 1.5 HOUR waiting on the asshattery to get done.

FFS the Mom&Pop FFL down the road that does paper 4473 has me in and out in 15 minutes.

They changed the one around/remodeled near me...seems like its less gun stuff.... I cried! Was my favorite big box gun store.

Ammo section is smaller....didnt seem like a lot of guns either.

If you buy a gun from them and get delayed, they will not transfer until they get the greenlight. They do not abide by the 3 day period. If you get delayed, might as well go elsewhere.

I work there behind the gun counter. Electronic 4473 one other form that says all firearm sales are final. We don’t do returns or exchanges. But I have never not helped the customer with shipping a repair or recall.

You would be surprised of the buyers remorse, or the wife’s pissed, can I return it phone calls.

They have nice sales on ammo online. Never been to a store.

Of note, they have some goofy packing for shipping.

I like academy. When I need something like ammo fast I check there first.

When you buy a gun there they make you wait till someone can walk you to the front of the store with it which is meh.

The guy I had last time walked all the way out to my truck with me which I though was kinda cool, we just BSed about guns and how 9mm is superior to 45, but 10mm rules all. Guess he was gonna back me up if I got ambushed? Lol

What? They just handled a manufacturer warranty issue for me, no problem. And the 4473 on the replacement firearm was an e-file. The only additional piece of paper I had to sign stated that firearms sales were final...
