I only buy from Dong's when it's new on the shelf and I cannot find anywhere else.
They have started raising prices above list and taking advantage of the Socioeconomic climate which pisses me off.

If I can purchase it from them I go to Medlocks in Owasso, OK. Just good folks that don't act like they know
everything, at least that has been my experience.

I order reloading supplies from different places on the internet.

I like H&H also, outside of that walking into a gun store is getting to be like walking into Zombie land and all the
Zombies were Goober in the prior life.

I just expect to be treated like crap when I go in a gun store around here. That way every now and then I'm pleasantly surprised when I'm treated decently.

ETA- I've only been in Dong's twice and was basically ignored. Which is actually better treatment than usual around here.

I'll try to check them out the next time I'm near Owasso side of town, that's not too far from here.

Thanks!

So you got long donged.
H&H in OKC is not any better. Maybe even worse.
Buy your reloading gear in bulk off the internet. It's the only way you'll come out OK anymore.

Its Medlock firearms and they are located in Collinsville not Owasso. Downtown Collinsville in fact. Just head north on 169 to the collinsville exit(i think its around 140th st or so), take a left and stay on the road as it leads right past the store. They are on the main street in the old downtown area on the south side. I've found them to be knowledgeable and helpful without stuffing gunstore bs down your throat. They also have decent prices that seem to be the best in town usually. TK supply in downtown tulsa might have better prices but they're not really a storefront operation.

And I totally agree with what everyone says about dongs. Their prices are high, although they seem to have come down a little bit recently after they really jacked them up after the election but that could just be me. I think I saw a somewhat basic stag ar15 or something there in december that they were asking around 1500 for. I have also noticed that some of the newer guys are decently helpful and service has gotten a little bit better. Still not up to par but I guess it went from horrible to almost decent as far as gun stores go. The "expert" on the assult weapons there doesn't really know much but he thinks he does. Prices on ammo are out of control even compared to the current prices everywhere else. A year ago they were asking $7 or $8 bucks for wolf .223, something like $13 for 10 rounds of 7.5 swiss GP11, and nearly $30 for 100 rounds of WWB 9mm. I'm not even sure what it is now. Ammo selection is good though so if you don't mind paying through the nose, they probably have just about any caliber you could want/need and also carry tons of brands/types. Even really crazy/rare stuff. They really upgraded their ammo selection about 2 years ago. I have gotten a steal before, like last year when I found some SA 5.56 30rd boxes tucked away in the surplus ammo section that were still marked at $5.99 from years back.

If I were in a gun store and someone claimed he was an expert on assault weapons before I walked out I'd ask for his definition of an assault weapon. Maybe it's just me but someone using a lib anti-gun term wouldn't ever get my business.

I'm not sure if they call them assult weapons but whenever anyone asks about an AK, AR, or anything like that, they usually refer them to this one guy and say he's the expert on those kind of guns. I just called him the "assult weapon" expert for clarity sake. However, two years ago or so someone came in asking about gas piston uppers for ar15's and he didn't know what they were talking about so i'd say his "expertness" is not too good.

Dong's is sort of an ICON. back in the day the street it was on was the hustlin street in T Town. right off RT66. Pale Pony is correct in his assessent of the staff. i do buy ammo in there. but that is all.

Pale- shoot me an IM and lets have lunch sometime.

The wife stopped by there a couple years ago to pick up a set of Lee .44 magnum dies for me. She told the guy there she needed the deluxe 4 die set. He didn't know what she was talking about. She was with me a few days later when I went in to get them and as we were checking out she told him he was a dumb fucker and shouldn't be working in a gun shop.

She also goes to gun shows with me and asks all the people selling beef jerky and beenie babies wtf they're doing there. Gotta love her.

Dong's was a fascinating place to browse when Mr. Dong had it. Unfortunately Dong's has gone from being the name of the owner to a description of the owner.

Well if you don't like Dongs maybe you'd like Dicks.

Tell me something. Do you like to put fishsticks in your mouth?

Long story short, Dong's Sporting Goods is the oldest gun shop and reloading store in Tulsa. It was a great place when the original owner Fong Dong had the place, but he died a few years ago (old age - the store was open since the 1940's) and his assclown son-in-law took over the place.

Since then, it has become the textbook example for every gun-shop Elmer Fudd joke that there is in the book, so I won't go into detail by trying to elaborate on the issue. The counter help are all typical gun-show, jerky-chewing, beanie baby salesmen who all used to be SEAL Team door gunners on the space shuttle.

I swore that the last straw was when the sold me a pistol and offered to throw in a pair of night-sights to secure the deal, and then I found out that they put the wrong size sights on the pistol (it printed 18" low at 15 feet) and later found that the sights were burned-out and looked to have been taken off of a USED gun and then incorrectly installed on my brand-new weapon.

Today I went into the store and the charade started all over. "Me big gun-store clerk, you stupid customer..." bullshi'ite.

Well, my money walked out of there too, and it will NEVER be back. Most ARF.COM members from Tulsa would probably ask me why I even went in there in the first place. Now, I seem to have forgotten why I went too.

I guess that I'll have to go to H&H Guns when I'm in OKC, apparently there aren't any reloading stores left in Tulsa.

rant-off

I wouldn't put much faith in H&H, the gun selection is great, but the counter know it alls are asshats

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!! I was going to post the same thing but I thought I better read a few replies first. You know, I bought a couple R-15's in there from a guy, well honestly I forget his name, but that guy was really freaking cooll.. Now the guys behind the Gun Range counter that always check you, those guys can suck my dong! I asked to borrow an ink pen to mark on my target, he told me no! I said you dont have one marking device back there for me to borrow? I'm not going to steal it. he said no. I started laughing and said, so Last weeek when I came in and that guy right over there opened up that cabinet right there and gave me a pen from that Jar in the cabinent full of pens, you got rid of that jar in a week? he said ya i guess. Real short in his answers. So i told him to get fucked and i didn't want to shoot here anymore give me my license back. He seemed surprised but he did. Sure maybe I shouldn't have expected to borrow something and i should have came prepared but come on you fucking tool. I really enjoy that place except for the guys with pistols strapped to thier hip pretending to be Barney Five on a power trip and dildo up his ass. I go in there with no intention of buying anything except from the one guy i've already bought from.

I tried to stay out of Dong's when I lived down there. The prices werent too bad at the time, but I just never felt welcome there. Lash's over on Mingo was even worse.

I enjoyed dealing with TK Supply over in Kenosha for used guns . I bought my USP from them,and a couple of Glocks. OK Police Supply was pretty good too.

Beals , around the corner from where I lived in Coweta was one of the friendliest I'd ever visited........then the owner passed away

The BEST place for reloaders was Southwest Shooter. Unfortunately they closed about 3 or 4 years ago.

I miss that place. I bought my first AR from them on Nov 4th, 1992.
