Looking for a new lgs

[Reno_Morris]

My main store I visit is Orion Arms but recently the prices are just getting out of hand. I have been to 1 or 2 other places locally but they were so small and the selections there aren't even worth the trip to look. Any one have any experience with any nice places within about 30-40 min drive from the Sellersburg area?

I don't buy as much stuff as I used to, but I have been doing business with HiTek and ESR Electronics. I have no complaints about their service or prices. These are pretty small stores, however. Whittakers in West Louisville, KY (near Owensboro, KY) has a good selection and reasonable prices. It is a little longer drive than you said and any handguns purchased would have to be shipped to an Indiana Dealer, but it might be worth the drive.

How about Bite-the-Bullet or Acme Sports in Seymour? I'm not sure how far they are from Sellersburg.

If you're into used stuff, indiucky's shop in Clarksville is always worth checking out...The company's always worth a stop.

I have been to hitek. Nice place but not much there. Whittakers is nice but way too far. I wish there was another large store like Orion's near by.

Seymour is a bit of a drive. Close to an hour. Maybe worth it for a good deal though.

I go to Dave's Guns in Holland. I can't remember how far it is to Sellersburg from this area, but they're not to bad on prices. They have a website, davesgunshopinc.com

Try 256 Sport & Garden outside of Austin. He's got a good selection for the size of the shop, and Dale is a hoot.

I used to really like Orion's when they were still Keisler's. I've been less and less impressed with them, and since Chris left the LE desk I doubt I find myself back there again.

I know you said Seymour is a bit of a drive but Bite the Bullet is my favorite gun store.

I've made purchases on the internet from Shooter's Supply in Louisville. The guy who does their internet sales is awesome, but the gunsmith that I spoke with on the phone is a real jerk. I've never been to the brick and mortar store, but they look like they have a great selection. I used to go down to Knob Creek on occasion. They had a pretty nice selection, but I haven't been in a long time. My suggestion is to car pool with some buddies and hit one of the farther away shops.

Their actual store is nice, lot's of stuff there I'd only seen on the internet, but never seen in person, prices were a bit high, but not crazy. I found the sales staff to be helpful and friendly, but almost used car salesman ish', sorta high pressure. All in all, it's well worth the trip over there.

As far as Orions, yeah, I haven't been in there since they doubled the price of 9mm after Newtown. I liked most of the employees there, too. It's a shame.

 

[Magneto]

You aren't the first person I have heard say that about Orion. I am not spending much money on gun purchase right now, so I haven't been to Orion in several months. I am curious to see how the prices are next time I go.

 

[Landon]

I've not been there, but what about Gun World out in Corydon. I've heard good things about the store.

Yeah I got the same vibe from shooters supply when I visited there before. I was looking for a new holster for my sub compact xd and the guy told me I needed to buy a new gun because I wouldn't be able to conceal one of those. Don't think I have been back since.

Yeah I always liked the people at Orion's. Sounds like ownership is the problem

I haven't been since they moved. They have a reputation for being high in price but I think I will check them out again.

I am going to second Dave's Guns near Holland Indiana. I have always been treated fairly there. Great selection. It's about 1 hour 15 minutes from Sellersburg though.

 

[bocefus78]

I bought my bow from Gun world in Corydon a while back. They were the only place that had one in stock, and not only in stock, $75 cheaper than anyone up here in Indy would quote me.

Worth the time for great people and good prices at Bite the Bullet. Mark & Lauren are tremendous supporters of the Community and the Shooting Sports.

 

[Slawburger]

Have you tried Cabin Fever in Scottsburg?

I had good experiences at:
HiTek, Falls Cities Firearms and Bite the Bullet.

If you can wait, Knob Creek is coming up the second weekend of April. It is still the best place to buy, if you buy in bulk and can live with the some-what limited selection available these days. At the show, I recommend Pat's Reloading. The prices are reasonable and the people who run Pat's are great folks.

Shooters Supply has a huge inventory and lots of specialized things you won't see anywhere else. They also support the local shooting sports.
Gun World in Corydon new store is huge compared to the old one. Still lots of long guns and a lot more handguns than before. Nice archery range and good selection of bows and accessories.
Price wise they both seemed in line with what I see at other shops.
Shooters Supply has sales going on every couple of weeks and have some prices that are as good as online pricing if not better.
