[Midland] cool guns coming to Academy

[Stumpy]

I started this thread to give yall the inside scoop on guns that will be at the Academy in Midland, TX.

Today there are three Ruger SR22 pistols and two stainless Remington 1911s. There is also a Franchi semi 20

Tomorrow(Wednesday Oct16) there will be 3 Ruger 1911s and one Uberti 1873.

My gun budget is a little low right now but I will be coming by tomorrow evening to check them out.

What's the deal with the M&P Shields? I'm in Austin and the Academy's here seem not to have gotten one in several months. They won't take a name or deposit, they just say "keep checking back". Do y'all get any Shields, ever? Why won't Academy accept a deposit for one when they do come in?

You do understand that Stumpy is not a corporate executive of Academy right???

He's giving the forum notice of what he has right now at his gun counter in Midland.

We get 1 every 1-2 months. Academy doesn't let us take names, they have a first come-first serve policy. Why? I dunno.

I used to work at academy and it amazed me at how many calls about the shields we got everyday, at least 5.
And you have to realize that academy doesn't function like a typical gun shop, associates do not know what will arrive on the trucks and do not have the power to special order, (except certain firearms) which is a new policy they were starting to offer when i left. They can't hold a firearm they do not have and even if they allowed you to put a deposit on it you would still be waiting forever in a day for it to arrive

If he doesn't know, that's fine, but it didn't seem like I asked about anything that only a corporate executive would be privvy to.

Besides, for all I know he may well be a corporate executive of Academy.

I never see anything nice like that at my Academy stores.

 

[TXARGUY]

I just stopped by and checked them out. That Uberti would be awesome with some custom engraving.

I seriously didn't mean that to come across as rude as it did. Sorry.

I'm not anywhere near midland, but I love this thread-I think more salesmen should do this

 

[TXARGUY]

They have already sold 2 of the Ruger 1911s. There was only 1 left when I got there.

I'm pretty sure they'll ship from one store to another.

 

[Stumpy]

I'm pretty sure they'll ship from one store to another.

Nope. They won't let us transfer firearms. At least to my knowledge. I will need to confirm with my manager.

Well if they don't they should.
