[Moonpie]

What are some interesting gun shops in SA?
Nagel’s
Adelbridge
Druy’s
Bracken
Armed in America
Buck&Doe
Gun Shack - Helotes
Ranger on Austin Hwy

Any others worth trolling?

If you have nothing better to do, I've found good deals stopping at every pawn shop...

I don't frequent gun shops as much as I used to, but the two most local to me (Gun Shack and Helotes Tactical) are both highly recommended.

As for Nagel's, they cleaned their San Pedro store up a lot which helped tremendously. It previously was cramped, dark and dingy. If you do stop by, I highly recommend trying The Dogfather next to it for some tasty hot dogs!

Adelbridge & Co. is modern and has a large selection, but is also very proud of their items for sale. Prices are ridiculous, even more than gun shows; but there is a great selection of firearms and accessories if you have deep pockets.

I don't get to Dury's on Hot Well much as it's on the complete opposite side of town from me, and San Antonio is a large place with a lot of traffic and road construction. I haven't been to their newer Loop 410 location but I pass by it going to drill all the time.

Bracken, Buck&Doe and Armed in America are the same as Dury's, too far out to make the trip. Buck&Doe is not a large store so it's not really worth the effort when I have better and bigger gun shops nearby! I've not been to the other two nor have I been to Ranger's, but if you go by there the L&L Hawaiian BBQ is a pretty good place to eat if you're not willing to go downtown to Maui Mike's for some Loco Moco!

Also don't forget about Nardis and Mission Ridge! While primarily ranges, they do have some guns and accessories for sale!

Otherwise, the usual Academy is one of the better sources for guns, ammo and other necessities in the area!

I've found most chain pawn shops to be very hit or miss (more on the 'miss' side!), but the independent ones can ocassionally have a rare gem in them!

Dury is on 410, just east of the airport now.

This is true. I usually go to Adelbridge or Nagels for ammo or magazines. Ranger was the only place that had a P225A1 magazines. They had a Firestar the last time went there.

I remember years ago that a member who worked at a San Antonio gun shop used to post here fairly often. Her brother owned the gun shop but I can't remember the member's name or the gun shop's name.

I like Dury’s. One nice thing about them is they list guns for sale on GunBroker and if you win one you can save the shipping fee by picking up at the store - I believe it is generally the Hot Wells location that has the GB guns.

I believe it was Modern Elite Firearms. I used them for a transfer once. Not much inventory at that time, but good people to work with.
