***warning*** if you go to the new vandalia range and armory be prepared to be met by some of the nicest guys i have ever met as far as gunstore guys go... as soon as i walked in, i was met by doug... he introduced himself and offered me his handshake...
i have my ear pierced, and a labret stud... he didnt pass judgement on me at all... he asked me if i need help. so i told him i wanted to see an XD45ACP.... the XD was $545.00, but i am the kind of guy will pay a bit extra if i feel that i am treated well... how i get greeted and treated in a gunstore goes a long way in my book...
we shot the breeze for awhile about guns & stuff & then i checked out the range...
usually thier are two types of gunstore clerks... those who dont really know guns (and they might be nice, but, THEY DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT GUNS)
then thier are some guys who know about guns, but they act like you are bothering them, or have an opinion that they think is better than yours because they work in a gunstore...
not here.... doug was a rare breed.... the guy knows his stuff about guns... plus he was very polite and was willing to answer any question, and did so happily... these guys dont work on commission, so i think that might have something to do with it....
AND NO I DONT WORK THIER, LOL... i just am willing to spread the good word about something if i feel its worthy... oh, and you dont have to use thier ammo anymore...
if you are near vandalia, go check it out... i think you will like it.... tell em mike sent ya...
