Yeah, would love to check it out, but wonder if you could get in? I bet they are limiting the number of folks in the store. I'd like to go ,but not if I have to wait an hour to get in.

From their site:
"We are enforcing social distancing within our stores. This includes limiting the number of customers in any given area of the store as well as the total number of customers in our stores at one time."
I'm out till this is over.

I was really looking forward to it's opening. Think I will wait a couple more weeks. Probably a line of THFr's by now.

Went yesterday and again today. Line is not long to get in. If you are there 30 minutes early you're in the top 10 people in the line. Want to look at firearms get there 30 minutes early, go right upstairs and you're in, otherwise you will stand in line, limit of 12 in the firearm section at one time.

Was looking for some chamber flags couldn't find any, then one the staff asked me if there was something they could help with, stated what I was looking for and he got on the phone and said he'd be right back, when he came back a few minutes later he said they did not have them in yet, and then handed me one of theirs.

He told me this store is currently a "stocking" store, meaning they were seeing what sells or is popular down here, and they'll be adjusting inventory accordingly, so if you have requests or think they should be stocking certain items let them know.

I went Friday and it wasn’t busy at all. I bought one of the new Shadow Systems MR902’s. Gun is sweet. Also don’t look on their website to see if something is in stock. I was going to get one of the Holosun 407c’s for my new gun and looked it said unavailable at the colony store so I bought one online. While I was there I looked in the optics section and sure enough Holosun 407c sitting in the glass. Asked the salesman about it and he said yea their online inventory system is kind of out of date.

Scored 2 free hats while waiting to enter & a $50 off coupon for snagging a Scheel Visa ( burned my cabalas card) Between my wife and I , pretty sure we jumped start the economy today. Snagged a sweet set of Red Wings (Irish setters) snake boots w/ the wire BOA system .

If you need weapons / Ammo / reloading the shelves are full!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS Nolan & Emmitt are Animatronics & my wife about jumped off the 2nd floor when Nolan started telling her how to throw a fast ball and showed her how to hold the hand and arm to do so LOL

Looks nice, are all those rifles out so you can handle them or are they behind the counter (besides the ones in the glass cases)?

Some you can handle and some you have to ask to handle. Plenty of staff to assist.

For those that went...how much did you spend?

I'm $350 lighter at my end. Picked up some Kuhl shirts and shorts and new pedals for my bike. Saw an HK SP5 that calling my name but fought off the urge. That place is going to take me to the poor house and living close by is not going to help.
