Which local gun shop do you prefer?

[chefjerome]

Looking to make another handgun purchase and I was hoping for some input from fellow ingo'rs....Last year I found one of the once in a blue moon good deals on a used but never fired beretta px4 storm at gander mountain but I'm not holding my breath on finding a deal like that again. I'm on the northside and would like to stay within 30 mins or so of this area. Looking to make my first 1911 purchase if this has any bearing on anyones opinions. Thanks for your input

Plainfield Shooting Supplies.

It's slightly more than 30 minutes away, but Plainfield Shooting Supplies would be well worth the drive in my humble opinion.

Brian and the guys at Indy Trading Post are pretty good to deal with....seems like alot of people here dont like them but elmores has a huge selection of 1911's usually,i haven't been to bradis for a while but they usually have a few too

Shops

I like to go where the deals are,
i will NOT go to a few here in Indy
but I always go to

Bradis
Camby, Indiana

I have a few out-of-state, none in Indiana. They just don't carry what i buy.

 

[Yeah]

Bradis is it for firearms purchases. They had a decent variety of 1911s when I was there before hunting season(s) called me away.

Other than that, for long guns, a drive to Whittaker's opens one's eyes to the paucity of Central Indiana's options.

PSS, ITP, and Bradis are my top three local shops. That being said - I've had experiences that have been so-so at all three. I've made purchases @Gander when prices were right, but I usually go there to fondle and gawk, and then take my business to a local shop or online.

Plainfield shooting supply by far!!!!!!!!!

I have had good luck at the Indy Trading post, Plainfield shooting supplies and Elmore's. I have made purchases at all three. I have been in Bradis several times. The prices seemed good and the staff I spoke with were knowledgeable. I just haven't had extra money when I've been there. With that said plainfield and Elmores has a bigger selection than Indy Trading post.

Plainfield Shooting Supplies and Bradis

They are not local for me, but I have made the rounds to most of the Indy area shops except a couple of them. Bradis by far impressed me the most. Great staff, nice selection, and fair prices.

I'm not sure what TSG has in the store but might give them a call to see if they have what you are looking for, good people there

I "prefer" Bradis because of its proximity to my home, great salespeople, and an excellent selection. I do know they have a great selection of 1911's. I have heard great reports about TSG and Plainfield Shooting Supply, but I'm not sure about their 1911's on hand. You should give them a call, though.

Whittakers's is by far my favorite shop. Thankfully my in laws live in Evansville which equals about four Whittaker trips per year.

Locally, I like Ludco. I know Fred can be a little crotchety, but he has the best selection around. Period. I have always been able to walk away with what I thought was a fair price and if not I didn't buy it.

 

[Scutter01]

TSG, Bradis, and 21st Century have been my go-to guys for awhile now.

Beech Grove Firearms is the only place I spend my money. And hopefully my Christmas gift certificate my wife will get me. (HINT)

Bradis. It's the best shop/store in the state, IMO.

I like both Bradis and Plainfield for purchase and Wanamaker if I just need a transfer.
