Don's Guns - Lafayette Square Mall

[G3Fanatic]

Dropped back in there with a buddy to see what he could get out of his old Beretta 686E Trap Edition.

Be prepared for what they told us.....

The guy looked at the gun and said, It's worth what you're asking for it, but I just don't have a market for these guns. You can't do a drive-by with an over-under. LMAO

Then I questioned the store's prices, and the guy responds with, we charge so much because of where we are located.

West 38th Street...

That makes twice I have left that store frustrated.

I was in there about 1 year ago when I was in the market for a KEL-TEC .380, I checked a couple of stores and Don's was about $125 higher than the competition at that time for the exact handgun! They are catering to a certain segment of gun buyers whom are not savvy about cost and value!

Don's Guns- I've never actually been in there, although I've seen the store driving by. Can't say I've ever really had a desire to stop in there for anything, all of the negative things I've heard in the local gun community have been more than enough to keep me out of there.

Seriously-how does the place stay in business? I confess-I was stupid and let curiosity get the best of me ONE time. Took me about 2 minutes to realize I had really been duped by his commercial. I really thought it would have been a much bigger place

Because he has a very special clientele.

I went and used the range Saturday for a half hour and there were some bangers in there firing a pistol grip shot gun and their handguns. When they were done one of them kicked all the brass back against the wall and complained that they need to clean this trash up. I told him I would get all that trash out of his way and while smiling put all the brass in my bag. He looked at me like I was insane. One of them commented on how "they done been shot off man". I just reiterated that I wanted ot make sure they enjoyed their time at Don's and somebody should be in there picking up their "trash". Honestly, I don't think they know you can reload this stuff! I got home and had over 100 40's and over 100 9's. They walked out looking at me like I was absolutely NUTS.

The time I did go in and use the range, they used to have a poster taped to the counter (as in, it was part of the counter top?) that showed a destroyed, cheap looking revolver. It had a message along the lines of dont handload/reload or this will happen. I asked the guy checking me out if they (the folks who worked there) actually believed that. He looked at me as if I had bugs coming in and out of my mouth. He said it was a reckless practice and "if he caught anyone with reloaded ammo in there..." puffing up. I told him that I had JUST used my handloads in there and held up my hand, saying it was fine, not missing any fingers. He was VERY intent on getting me to "reverse my ways". I just left, vowing to kill myself before I ever step in that joint again.

After seeing their ammo pricing, I determined that they put that there to discourage dumbasses that shoot there from saving money.

Incidentally, Don's website states that while pricing is lower elsewhere, he "has it actually in stock". Weird. Well, if I was intent on getting beat up "good" guns or cheaply made but overpriced guns, I'll make sure he is the first I go to. Firemission: You will win 100 DH-Fun Bucks (not redeemable anywhere! ) if you go into Don's with a Gander Mountain flyer with guns in it, ask them if they do price matching. Cmon guys, 100 DH-fun bucks! Cant miss out on that! 25 more points if you ask why when they say no! (if they say no)
