Anyone know what happened? It used to be a great shop with a gunsmith. I know sales in just about everything are down, except for necessities which are up at least 10%. Big ticket items over around $150 or so are slow movers these days.

Sounds like between Santa Fe’s Shenanigans & Albuquerque’s crime rate (sounds like they got broke into a lot), they called it quits.

Bought my first handgun at the los ranchos gun shop at 21.  Went in insistent on a USP compact .40.  The big frizzy-haired blonde girl (you know her) convinced me to buy an XD 40 instead.  She showed me the rail lugs on the USP & glock and how tiny they were. Then showed me the full length beefy frame rails on the XD.  That gun was fuggin horrible.  Ditched it for an old P225 within the year, which I loved.

Anyway the los ranchos gun shop was pretty fun as a kid.  I’d go get pellets, they would talk about guns with me even though I was a kid without adults with me.  Good folks.  There’s a massive apartment complex there now.  The area is dogshit and that low income housing HAS had effects.  The servers at Sadie’s on 4th have their pants low enough to see their underwear, talk rudely and the food is unrecognizable versus just a year ago.

I grew up in LR and I want to be far away from there now.



ETA: My folks are still there so I am around occasionally.

Also my recollection of the place was on the southeast corner of 4th & O, never went to the new joint next to the bank.

Drove by there yesterday and it was closed.  

As stated above, Sadie’s wasn’t what I remembered it to be either.

Can anyone help me get in touch with the owner?  I had a benelli shotgun on consignment with them so I either need to get the gun back or get paid for it!

Looks like they have a LinkedIn profile but I’m surprised they didn’t give you a call either way to have you pick it up.
