    I have been there a few times and bought some lowers and other items. Great attitude, service and although the place is small it has several guns in the glass counters. It's not the biggest but the prices were better than other shops and I like working with small owned businesses as I own one.

    Great news! I stopped by the Gun Shack this afternoon to pick up some ammo and kill a few minutes before my dentist appointment, and The Gun Shack is going to be building a new, bigger store at their current location!

    It's no surprise that their business is good, they've got great prices and customer service; and I couldn't be happier to have what will be one of San Antonio's biggest and best gun shops just down the road from me!

    No idea of when the new shop will be built, but it sounded like the plans are being drawn up so hopefully it won't be too long.

    I'll keep everyone posted on developments, and if you haven't already "liked" them on Facebook, it might be a good idea to go ahead and do so... https://www.facebook.com/gunshackllc

    Cheers! M2

    Have bought a couple of guns from them. They are friendly honest and have the best prices of any LGS in town. The other Gun store on Bandera rd have the highest prices around. They quoted me 669.00.00 for a gen 4 Glock G20. Gun Shack didn't have any but quoted me 575.00 for the same gun that they were willing to order. Great place to do business.

    If you've not been following the progress on the new shop, you can do so via their Facebook page!

    Things are moving quite quickly, as of yesterday the foundation has been laid and set, and the first wall has gone up!

    By the way, before the concrete was poured on that slab, they scattered brass over it, so the new shop will be solidly built on a pile of spent brass! :D

    They have also resurrected their "Deal of the Week, another good reason to follow them on Facebook!

    Cheers! M2

    Just perused their website and Nagel's beats a lot of their prices by a huge margin. I was shocked to say the least.

    Odd, because every time I've been to Nagel's or their website their prices have been ridiculously high. You sure you weren't looking at used guns?!?

    I have found that to be the case too. Nagels sales especially beat any prices I've seen anywhere else including gun shows. But I have bought guns at the Gun Shack too if the price is good. I'm excited about their new store too. Its on my way home from work and they told me the new store was going to have a reloading section. I hope they do it up right.

    Nagel's beats somewhere else's price?!?!?!? UNPOSSIBLE!

    I don't believe it myself, I have never seen decent prices at Nagel's but I am biased towards the Gun Shack as they not only located right here in Helotes, but the folks there are some of the nicest around so even if they were a couple of dollars more expensive (which I doubt), I would still rather shop there for exactly those reasons!

    The Gun Shack made the Helotes Echo!

    Gun Shack opens the doors for new location

    The owner’s of the Gun Shack in Helotes, Texas are excited to announce the opening of their new building on Saturday, September 12.

    The new building is located next to the current building for the Gun Shack. The current building has a little over 800 square feet to house inventory and product. Noemi and Lance Skok will have more than double the space in the new building to increase inventory and to bring in new products for those who have firearms.

    “We will be offering conceal carry permits,” said Skok. “We will also have more accessories and items for those who have firearms. We will also be expanding our inventory. “

    The new building is also attached to a permanent water source. “Our employees will now have a break room where they can enjoy their lunch without being on top of one another,” added Skok.

    “I am also excited that Lance and I will have separate offices,” remarked Noemi Skok. “We are next to each other.”

    Lance and I shared a private look because there is no door connecting the offices.

    The Skoks will be holding a grand opening on Saturday, September 12 and will have light refreshments throughout the day to celebrate.

    Gun Shack is located at 15241 Bandera Road, Helotes, Texas.

    (Note: pic is from The Gun Shack's Facebook page, while we were there the place had a fair number of customers in it! :D )

    Plus, they're getting ready for the grand opening tomorrow!

    Unfortunately, because of work I won't be able to make it; but we did sign up for the raffle. There will be deals on firearms and accessories; free Starbucks, soda and Marco's Pizza (while it all lasts) as well as door prizes to be given out throughout the day. Definitely worth checking out!

    Cheers! M2
