New Gun Shop on Potranco?

[majormadmax]

They had a couple of tables set up at last weekend's SAXET gun show, the guys working them were really friendly and although they didn't have anything I was looking for, they did have a better selection than I would have expected. It's almost time to stop by their shop again and check out their latest inventory...

Since I have put the Bullethole on my "Off Limits" list, this place has a chance to snag some of my business. Like I said, they've been nice to me when I stopped by; and I am glad to see they are doing well.

Cheers! M2

Yeah they are great guys, I have done four FFL transfers with them. I wish they had more inventory, but I know how it is just starting out. I will be sending my wife through their CHL course here pretty soon.

hello all I went by a few days ago looking for a Gun for home protection...come to find out they offer layaway. So I picked up a mossberg 500a for the house and put a glock on lay away for the ranch...really cool guys they were very nice and looked up prices for me no problem. I will be back ..they do a lot of special ordering..and they dont charge anything extra....was told usually takes 2-3 days for special orders.....they are close,friendly.

So, it's been a year and a half later; has anyone stepped foot in this shop lately? I'm curious as to whether it is even open, as I don't hear much about it...plus the website doesn't seem to be working anymore...

 

[TexasRedneck]

Phone still works...but yeah, website doesn't pop up.

 

[majormadmax]

I may have to investigate!

Well, it's one of those "good news/bad news" situations...

First, the good. Lock N Load is still open and ready for business. They knew their website was down, and are in the process of moving it over to another provider. They also claimed they were very busy earlier today, which is why no one answered the phone. Kinda confusing as to why the answering machine didn't pick it up, but that's what they told me. Oh, and the three guys working were very nice.

Unfortunately, the bad. The place doesn't have much of anything in it. Maybe 5-6 hunting rifles and a few shotguns. Oh, and I saw one of those gawd-awful High Point 9mm "carbines" on the wall. Puke. They had a few accessories in the display cases, but I saw more leather bags and stuff than I did gun gear.

Honestly, the place didn't have any more to offer than it did when I first stopped by there. They are friendly enough, but without more items for sale I don't see a reason to make the detour on my way home to stop by very often.

Cheers! M2

Thanks for the update M2!!

Ummmm - you might wanna wipe the camo paint off yer butt afore ya put trousers back on next time....

 

[majormadmax]

Apparently it's closed down and now a church...

I think they moved down Potranco inside loop 1604, can't remember the cross street.

 

[TexasRedneck]

Word I got is that they shut down completely - the Bullet Hole handled some of their last transfers that didn't get in before they shut their doors.

114 N. Ellison Dr. Suite 114 at Ellison/Potranco, will try and make it over there on my lunch break in the next day or two and see how it looks.

At least this is what came up when I googled them, had a pic of the old store outside potranco with the new address......

Funny, I just noticed those shops a few weeks back when I drove by there. Not really much of a storefront, but they didn't really have an impressive selection last time I went by there anyway...

yea, its prolly ALOT cheaper to have the barebones storage/business space than that entire lot.
