Good Hidden Gem Gun Store in Houston?

[BMF500]

I've scored a few hard to finds at Collectors. I also bought my XDM45 from there when they were announced, Collectors was they only game in town that was taking pre-orders. I have had good luck trolling pawn shops on the outskirts of town.

Collector's Firearms, not necessarily inexpensive, but will haggle as noted. Best of all they have a large selection of guns.

Money Mart Pawn on 2920 / Ella. They have an extensive firearms election for a pawn shop, plenty of AR's and pistols but they turn over quite a few used guns. I picked up several pre-lock S&W revolvers there to add to the collection.

Another vote for Collectors. You can spend hours in there.

Lone Star Defense in the Spring Branch area off Long Point has a consignment section and I’ve done business with them in the past. As others have said, pawn shops are usually pretty good sources too. I’ve scored some good deals

Well if there WAS one it is full of snow flakes and millennials now.

Pawn shops can be hit or miss IMO. I have gotten some really great deals in them, but have as well seen some stupid high prices for complete junk. Some they will barter a bit on price, and some won't budge the least.

I love Collectors. It's like the Six Flags of gun stores!
I can spend hours just wandering around that place!

I’d say my success rate at pawns is around 5%. Good thing though, otherwise I’d go broke. To me it’s just fun and a good way to spend an afternoon. To me it’s like a treasure hunt. Also good excuse for a motorcycle ride, so im able to enjoy both of my hobbies at the same time. I’ve got my regulars that I go to because they are within 10-15 miles of the house. There is one that is just around the corner, but he always prices his guns within 10% of new and he won’t deal too much so I stopped going there. The others I frequent are at market price but every once in a while I stumble on a good deal and all but one they did haggle on the price. Examples:
Marlin/Glenfield model 30A .30-30
SW model 19-5
SW model 66-1
SW 4506

Wow, are those for shooting or just for looking at?

Probably matters how many zeros are following the numbers in your checking account!

Mine doesn't even have enough for me to afford to look at the pictures of them!

 

[Sam Colt]

If you can afford them, you shoot them.

Trust me, my bank account does not have enough zeros attached to buy those guns!

But IF it did, yes, I'd sure as shooting would shoot them.

Haven't been to Collector in a year or two, but I've bought several "had to have" firearms there for "decent" prices. They did get the best of me at least once; was looking for a model 24/624, and the clerk sidetracked me with a 6" nickel-plated S&W model 27. Tried to explain that it looked like a pimp gun, and I had no need for it. He took $60-$70 off the price and I ended up walking out with it - its a fantastic shooting revolver. The guy had the nerve to call me at work a month later and told me he was holding a 6 1/2" model 624 for me. Had to take a long lunch break and drive in from The Woodlands to grab it. Think I've bought two other S&W's from them. Prices are never cheap, but great guns rarely go for bargain basement prices. Guess I'll try to get back down there this week!!

I have always gotten good deals at Tomball Pawn.
Haven't been there for a while cause I think I have all the guns I need for now.

I was there a couple of times and I bought a nice DPMS AR 6.8 rifle from them. I need to go back to them when I am at that side of town.

In all my time living in the area, I have never been to Collector's. I need to remedy that just for the experience.
