FIL said that he went in over the weekend looking for a pistol and they have stopped carrying them. I was surprised at that...

Just bought a shotgun from there right before Christmas and they had plenty of pistols. No visible indication that they were fixing to close shop.

I've only been a handful of times. How are their prices on firearms.

Good question, the main reason I barely ever buy stuff there. The only thing I don't mind to pay more for is baits if there's a good selection, and there's a local guy I'd rather give my money to when I can, with a better selection

They matched the online price of a 1911 and XBolt that I bought a couple years ago. They are high on the clothing though. Not sure how their archery is though.
