Intersting. Didn't know the old ownership was looking to sell. Would have been noce to pick that up as a second location.

Maybe they'll stop with the crap about not being able to use your own reloads.

WDSU had a story on tv this morning concerning increase of women buying guns. FITS was prominently featured; however, I'm glad that I was not in the CC class they showed. Appeared that all students had their guns out in the classroom and were able to manipulate them. Sorry, but even if I know you well, you're not sitting behind me racking your slide and sweeping me with your muzzle.
Might rerun the segment tonight. I looked at WDSU.com to see if the video was available and it was not.
Happy new year. Stay safe.

Guns are checked and no live ammo is allowed in classroom - not even in mags or bags - not allowed at all.
Safety first.
The last quote for a transfer I was quoted was one hundred and forty dollars.
I asked a second time to be sure, and confirmed 140.00.
I was told but we can order anything you want, so I told them I wanted a Colt 6940.
There Quote was for 1880.00 ( I beleive plus tax, not sure) Within 2 weeks I got my Colt 6940 for 1285.00 out the door from a BS sponcer ( with a magpul value pack 3 mags 3 ranger plates , some swag)
This happened before the "unconfirmed" new ownership.
Since this thread was started I have been in to look twice, pricing sure looks like the same old game.
I will possibly take a stop by tomorrow and will post results.

I was there around the thanksgiving holiday and they had 6920's under 1k. I also watched a man tell the new owner he found a 10/22 for less and he matched the price. I have no skin in this game but just wanted to tell what I saw. I would do business with them. The new owner seems to really be trying to take the shop to the next level.
New owner is straight shooter and knows guns.
I also watched one of the employees give good advice to a guy who wanted to get a gun for his wife.
He said to have her come in and try different guns so that she would get one that worked for her.
He could have easily sold a gun right on the spot but did the right thing.

Joel will go out of his way to help, including price matching. FITS is a full service shooting range for pistols and rimfire rifles. They can't really price-compete with Academy or Sportsman's Warehouse. But they have a gunsmith on hand and guns to try before you buy. Personal service goes a long way and trumps cheap prices for me. I go there quite often.
I agree with everything you said except the price item - go check out the prices on ammo when you check in to the range. Extremely competitive pricing compared to Walleyworld, Academy, Sportamans's, etc.
All around great place to shoot.
