I generally go to Impact, Gallenson's and Doug's in the SLC area.. For me I've had the most positive experience at Impact... Nice guys. I bought two guns at Gallenson's just because Impact didn't have any, but man, some of the salesmen at Gallenson is not very nice and their service hasn't been great either. I haven't bought any guns in Doug's yet. What's your favorite store? :type:

I've bought three handguns from Doug's, one from a gunshow.

I like that all the guys behind the counter are carrying, and I've never had a gun pointed at me there.
Range leaves a bit to be desired, but I've still got a handfull of free passes from the three guns I bought.

I bought a holster from Impact, and maybe a couple magazines ("clips", not the paper publications :lol2: )

Get Some is a lot closer to home, but I've never been there.
They seem to cater more to fancy guns no one really needs rather than handguns, at least based on their advertising.

I've only been to Impact (Ogden) and Sportsmans Warehouse (Riverdale) so far, and I like Impact better.

 

[Aedrick]

I got a 17L from Impact at Ogden, I like those guys, too. So far so good at Impact... How many passes do they give at Doug's? At Impact they give one month free range membership.

Dang guys...you have to come down to Draper and check us out at FBMG.

I walked into the Ace Hardware in Tremonton and they had a real nice gun counter. Smith & Edwards is also fun for a lark. In my entire gun buying career, I've bought one gun at a gun store, and it was from Gallenson's. It was a decent experience, and the salesman I was talking to was very nice. However, when I asked him to show me how to field strip it, and he began to show me, one of the other dudes told him to "get a used gun to do that on". in a fairly brusque tone of voice. Whereupon he stopped actually field stripping it, and simply described how to finish. They still have the best prices on ammo for the moment.

Maybe it was the same guy that told me to stop dry firing on the 9mms I was comparing, because it's "hard on the guns"... Gallenson's does have a decent price in ammo, and for the most part people are nice, but there are a few there that aren't so nice, and they screwed up two of my orders so... I prolly wont buy anything there anymore.

 

[Aedrick]

Nevermind on that last post. I just went by there to pick up some ammo, and one of the guys that are nice to customers were there, and he showed me a beretta 92fs Inox... so I bought it. Guess that makes my gun purchase there at #3. I swear I will buy only one more gun there... or two. :type:

I nominate we have Joe organize a field trip to FBMG! We can follow-up with an OC dinner, perhaps.

 

[Dustin WJ]

So far, I like Doug's the most. However, I like the idea of a field trip to FBMG. I'd love to check it out.

I have never had an issue with Impact except I think their prices are steep. We did find a good deal there on a Ruger 10/22 for my son last year but the rest of their stuff is about 20% high.

Lately I have been purchasing guns from the local pawn shops.

 

[rdoggsilva]

I mainly go to Gallenson's. Have bought several weapons from them and they have layaway!! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. And lower prices on ammo.

 

[James]

Favorite? Don't really have a favorite. I have bought guns at Smith and Edwards, Al's in Logan and Cal Ranch in Logan. That's about it for handguns up this way. Walmart has some rifles. I buy some reloading supplies there.

I always like to go to Smith and Edwards. Besides the guns, they have lots of stuff that is tempting. I bought some boots the last time there.

All of these stores treated me well.

I guess I could go to Ogden or Tremonton, but haven't done so yet. Alas, I can't afford a gun very often. I've only bought six in the past four years. Wow, that is shocking when I think of it, :shocked: .....and it all started when my wife found a gun she liked at Smith and Edwards and started shooting. :crown:

 

[Aedrick]

Man, i got into guns like two years ago.. now I got 7 and i can't seem to stop... too much fun.

Impact does have a bit higher price on a lot of their guns, but they give a month range membership though. Because I dont shoot very much in a month, they gave me a 10 day pass to use on any days.. for them that's like a 100 dollar value so with everything, Impact is a pretty good store for me. More guys there seem to know more about the guns they are selling than other stores though..

 

[fnfnc64]

Easiest question ever posted here. FBMG hands down.Their prices are good, the selection is good, and the guys running the show (and their help) are great! I have been buying guns and going to gun stores for as long as I can remember. FBMG isnt the best gun store in the state. It is the best gun store I have ever been to anywhere! Those guys know guns and know how to treat customers. There is no such thing as a stupid question when your talking to them (believe me, I can ask stupid questions with the best of em). I live in Davis county. The drive is worth it. Impact is hit and miss, Gallensons is ok, Get some has a nice inventory but they always seem a bit too busy to answer questions and their prices suck, kents in Ogden is a good small store, Cabellas and Sportsmans have good selections and COMPLETE idiots as salesmen. FBMG rules! :shades:

 

[UtahRSO]

I'm at the opposite end of the S.L. valley from FBMG, and with the price of car food... But I did stop at their booth at the last gun show, and they were great people to talk to, with good prices.

Lately when I make noises about another gun, my wife pulls up the picture I took of all my handguns. And she has a point. I have some that haven't been shot for over a year. If I can't exercise the ones I've got, what justification do I have to get another one?

Nevertheless, if I really get serious (REALLY serious this time) about adding to my stable, I'll check with FBMG for sure.

My last couple of guns were bought from Van Wagenens in Orem. It's a pawn shop the is older and if they are busy then it takes forever to be helped. Prices are good though. Never bought a gun from Cabelas but have bought reloading supplies. I am going to have to hop over the point of the mountain and check out FBMG. I need someplace that is close with a range, hopefully they well get ther range up and running soon. That would be sweet. I wonder if FBMG could order one of the Kel Tec SU-22 (22LR tatical rifle) for me, when they come out?

[Crusader Smithy]

Yeah we can order it for you when it comes out. Just stop in and talk to Larry or James about it.

My favorite gun store??? I would say the Private market so that you don't "register" your guns.

Just my .40
