How do you like to see handguns displayed in a gun shop?

[Moonpie]

As a customer in gun shop how do you like to see the handguns displayed?
On a glass shelf in a display case?
On the wall behind the counter?
On shelf with green felt underneath?

What do you think?

There is a gun there?

This is the most thought I've ever given to it. Glass shelf I guess.

Glass shelf in a display case with the price visible.

It's nice if they are somewhat sorted by revolver/ polymer/ steel/ etc. with the price visible.

Sorted by manufacturer works too with the price visible.

Them being marked new or used is handy with the price visible.

In case I forgot to mention it, if you want me to keep on walking then don't have the price visible.

Felt backing is nice so it's easier to see. High off the ground so I don't have to stoop is also nice. But, honestly, if it's the model I want and the price is right it doesn't mater how they are displayed. Absolutely have the price tags visible.

I’m the kind of buyer/looker that does not ask the salesperson to show 15 pistols and then walk away. If I ask to see a handgun there is a possibility that I might buy. Plus most of the young salespeople don’t know shit from peanut butter.

Because of this I really inspect the guns through the glass. I’m the only guy that is down on my knees looking at handguns.

The best handgun display I have seen was in a pawnshop in Whitehouse, TX. It was a custom Chest high glass countertop finished in rough cedar with shelves going down to knee level. It was so nice not having to bend down to look at the top shelf. And even better not having to get on my knees to see the bottom shelf.

With some easily decernable order, price showing, used in separate cases, with room between guns.

Cabellas always makes me think of a buy back pile.

clothes are over rated on her. Reminds me of a nudist camp where everyone open carries. So to speak.

Laid on the counter marked "free"....



Other than that, on a glass shelf.

All 3 of our local gun shops do it very well: Glass cases, guns upright on stands, prices visible. Sorted by Caliber, action type, new, then another section with Used.

1 store has an entire case of 9mm semis, with the micros on top, getting larger as it goes left-right and top to bottom... next case is 40semis, then 45semis, and then various semis. Next case is Revos and specialty, then a case of used, again, in order. They have well over 60 9mms semis, about 40-50 .40s, and well over 60 .45s.

All 3 have a VERY nice selection, with easily better than 100 pistols, probably closer to 200+.

most of the displays look a lot like this, just with more variety: (pic pulled off of the internet, not actual stores)

Not real particular. By manufacturer, with the price, model and caliber visible if in a case. At least accessible with a tag like at the gun shows.

This is important.

The best displays I have seen usually have them grouped by manufacturer or by type (SAAs together, 1911s together, polymer autos near the bottom). Please have large print cards next to each telling me the make, model, and price.

Donno, haven't gotten that far


On the topic of display. Doesn't really matter to me, as long as there's clear easy to find labeling for what is what. If I'm interested I wanna see it in my hands, then in my car, then hide it there for a few days and sneak it in the house.

On the counter as my receipt and card are handed to me.

 

[toddnjoyce]

By type, by caliber. Price clearly marked, new/used clearly discernible. If it’s on the shelf, it’s in stock, none of this ‘display model we can order it’ stuff.

Quarantine the Glocks away from all the useful guns.

 

[avvidclif]

Sorted by caliber, under caliber sorted by make. Must show price tags. One gun shop has different colored price tags for used and new. Makes it easy.
