Or try Shooters in New Haven

Jerry is a nice guy and prices are usually reasonable. Inventory changes from day to day.

Used to like going to the shop over the years until I started to get treated like I should be a major honor to be in the shop. I called several times to ask questions about items I wanted to buy. The last 2 times he said he would get right back to me on the items. Never got a call back. I truely liked the guy and his shop but now I think I will take my business elsewhere. I am going to check out 21st Century and I will no longer recommend this shop. Its ashame as I have been doing business here for a few years now
I called Ed once to inquire if he had a stainless Colt Series 70 repro. He told me "no" and that was that. About two months later, I get a call out of the blue from Ed telling me that he just received what I was looking for. I've bought maybe three or four guns from Ed spread over an eleven year time span, so it's not like we're boosom buddies or something. I doubt he remembers me or could pick me out of a line-up.
I had moved on and bought something else by that time, but that's service above and beyond what is required, IMHO.
I have bought two guns from Ed Hirschy and that's because I was young and dumb. I give a lot of people second chances, but I'll never do business with him again. When I was younger I bought two guns from him, totaling just over $2000 and he was still an A$$@)$%&.
Here's what I don't like, if you know what you're looking for and call him up and ask what his price is he won't tell you and gives you some attitude about it. Ok that's one thing. Then if you want to see his gun store you have to make an appointment like he's a doctor and then once you get in the door and then you don't like the prices because THEY ARE HIGHER you get more attitude about wasting his time, like he's a Dentist or something.
Ed's big arguement is that he doesn't let people come in and manhandle his guns like they can at gander mountain, but the new guns always come out of the back in a brand new box so I don't see what his advantage is.
My cousin & uncle were treated the same way I was by him. I know he's been doing business for some time, and he must be doing great work for someone, but I'm not a fan and I won't recommend him.
Gander Mountaint: Decent Selection, high prices.
H&H: Great Selection, reasonable prices.
Tomlinsons: Pretty Good Selection, Good prices.
I recommend Tomlinsons to everyone I talk to because they are genuinely good people.
I've never been to 21st Century, but I plan on it.
