Elite Guns on Parmer?

[BDub]

I was driving down Parmer toward MoPac and my wife points out the window and says, "hey look, is that a gun store, and it says Grand Opening."

She might be a keeper.

Welcome to Texas, Elite. I'll be sure to swing by.

Went there almost a year ago. At the time the guy that was behind the counter was a little lost. He kept suggesting I come back in after four when then the own gets in. He didn't have any information on inventory, ability to order firearms, or know anything about their trades. He didn't even want to sell me a gun till I insisted I lived over 1.5 hours away and might not make it back any time soon. Then he gave in to do the background check. But it was obvious he didn't want to. He may be a little more trained now, but you still may want to wait till late afternoon to possibly get a better experience.

Haven't been by there in a while.. have they increased their display of handguns?
The long guns are great so no complaint there.

Yep BDub.. she is that and more. Lets me have an "ammo allowance"... lol

Need more selection. The guy behind the counter is a cool guy. I met him at Reds and he showed me his AK. I hope they stay in business. They seem to have very little foot traffic and very few customers.

Really neat store with nice guys.
The main problem with their store is that they're going to have a tough time selling any of the nice things with the rifles 6 feet away from the customers.

I'm not saying make the guns close enough to touch, but I want to be able to look really look at it first.

Ask? They'll hand you anything.

 

[Polished Rock]

Yeah, the "cool guy" and I had a good chat about AKs and he handed me his favorites to fondle.

 

[pharmaco]

Yeah, I mean, I don't doubt that they will, but it's nice to be able to see an entire store's worth of stuff up close without taking up someone's time just to have a closer look.

For me it is about the price tags. I don't like having to ask to see something so I can get the price on it. If I can read the price from across the counter then we are good.

Same here. I hate not being able to see the price.

Along the same lines, I went to a motorcycle/atv shop recently... Was browsing the show room and noticed there wasn't a price on anything. A sales guy came up and asked how I was doing and I pointed out the lack of prices. He said "Yeah we don't have prices on anything, but tell me what you're looking for." How can I know what I'm looking for if I can't see the price? Won't be back there...

Hmmm, were you at Wood's?

No it was Central Texas Powersports. I forgot the name and had to look it up, lol...

Got a lower there a few weeks ago, nice staff and definitely a ruskie rifle lover's paradise.

I won't ever go to Central Texas Powersports again after they refused to mount my brand new, tags still on them tires because I didn't buy them from their store. So I learned how to mount my own motorcycle tires...

I went to Elite Guns for the first time on Friday morning. There were so many people in there it was hard to see the merchandise. Couple or three guys buying something and more standing around waiting to be helped. I'll be back. Drive down Palmer at least once or twice a week.

Rezing this very old thread but Elite Guns is apparently no more. I went there for the first time in July and then they announced they were ceasing operations like 3 days later. Sorry about that.

Shame, their inventory was pretty cool, but the prices weren't so hot.

Wow wow
Hadn’t been there in a few years.
Some how the guy knew me, but I never knew him. Still weird.
