Hi All,
Just bought my first gun from FDF and wow!! What a great experience!!
I honestly knew that they had the gun I wanted in stock, but I wanted to get a feel for it and took the ride down there. I instantly really liked the store, their stock, and the overall feel of walking in.
I am not the type of person to buy something like a gun impulsively and wanted to do some research after touching the gun....so I told the owner, I wanted the gun but I wasnt going to buy today due to the fact that I didnt have a gunsafe (yes he has them, but they are a bit pricey)....I expected his sales rebuttal, which he did give, except it was more of an FYI incase I was ignorant to the law...(that I didnt need one by law, that I trigger lock would be enough)...I noted that I knew that, but I still wanted a gunsafe as added security as I live with my young nephew and do not want him playing w it...he nodded with agreement, and I left w a gentlemens agreement that I would return on Saturday.
I ended up going to the store the next day after buying a gunsafe and purchased my first handgun.
I am in sales, as a retail sales manager I know (and taught people) how to sell to people buying on impulse...w a gun, I feel that you can not and should not talk people into buying, just so a shop can make a sale...thats somewhat immoral, and really appreciated the fact that his only rebuttal was more of an FYI rather a reason just to buy today. His accessories were kinda pricey, but that is were ALL companies make their money so there was no shock there....but the gun price was VERY fair as per usuall the main product is usually more monetarily attainable.
FDF will be the only gun shop I buy from when buying brand new....I have already recommended them to all the gun owners I know.
