Anyone been in Barking Irons gunstore in Baton Rouge?

[Gus McCrae]

Seriously man!!! Well he is gonna have to order me one! I was saving for that thing lol. Yea there inventory will improve over time. You can only make so much of an initial investment. But as far as friendliness they get an A in my book.

I'm almost sorry. I've been waiting for the rush to die down so we could get some good pricing on one..... With Ruger not taking anymore orders until the end of May, I'm not sure we are going to see the low prices we were wanting.

They did have a Metro Arms there (well under $600.... I think $540) which had a nice tight slide.

Philippine gun, probably very similar to RIA. It was prettier than the RIA and might even be made in the same plant (I don't really know that). The slide was fit tight..... that's about all I can say about it. I don't like the billboard on the side of the gun, but lots are that way. I kinda like the RIA better, but it doesn't mean that it's not a better gun or not.

I'm glad to hear we have another shop closer to home....sounds like they're friendlier than the folks at Heberts...yes, I just had to say that. That damn Ruger is beautiful!! I will have to check out this place and see how they are and what kind of services they can do as far as gunsmithing stuff is concerned. Thanks for the heads up on this place...I had no idea it was there and I go down that road all the time.

I heard. Good for you, bad for me. I honestly didn't think about it until I went out and remembered they had one.

The early bird gets the worm, or in your case the SR1911.

They could kick you in the balls as soon as you walked in and they would still be friendlier than Heberts

Get some CR123's for a good price. I work out of the substation next door, I never remember I need batteries until after I get to work, and by 1800 most places are closed.

should go without saying, "catch on fire" is never on my daily To Do list.
