Nice store. Friendly staff. Good location. Nice accessory stock. Sparce handgun gun selecion still, but nicer quality. I only discovered one downfall...trades. Blue Book is used, but doesn't take into market value and Mike's firearm's grading system allows to his advantage. For example, if an item is 95% it is valued at 80%. Being in the business since 1990 myself (FFL Dealer) and now a private collector, I understand how the trade gig works. However, you can use Retail to Retail or Wholesale to Wholesale standard, but you can't expect to get a following asking retail and below fair market value for trades.

I've been in the store several times and will continue to go back "looking for that deal", but will not offer trades. PSP has my business, if I want to trade. All that being said, this store should fair well since it has a great atmosphere and appears to be getting a following. Recommended. I hope this was objective and you take into account that this is only one opinion.
