With the NFA shoot cancelled, I decided to make my way to Interstate Guns in Hammond this weekend (I live in BR). They are located just off of I-12 on S. Morrison- very easy to get to, and took about 35 minutes door-to-door.
Upon entering, I was immediately surprised by the quantity and quality of stock on hand. The store was busy, but had plenty of knowledgeable staff, who were friendly and eager to help. Prices were very reasonable- about what you would expect from a big box store, but with a much higher grade of Tactical and Hunting gear, and much more attention to customer service.
Firearms: IG carries a great line of pistols and long guns, including Daniel Defense, Glock, S&W, Springfield Armory, Browning, Tikka, Beretta, JP, and more that I just can’t remember. My understanding is that they will soon be opening an online store, as well as carrying suppressors from AAC, SilencerCo, Gemtech and I think Surefire.
As you may be aware, these are the same folks that run SportOptics.com, among several other optics websites. For that reason, there was an incredible stock of premium optics, including Schmidt Bender, Swarovski, Night Force, Zeiss, MeOpta, Eotech, Aimpoint, Vortex, etc.
Accessories brands included Peltor, Viking Tactics, BladeTech, Surefire, Comptac, Frog Lube, and also the full line from the Louisiana based Unity Tactical. They also carry what appears to be a full line of reloading equipment and had A LOT of ammo in stock.
The most refreshing part was seeing so many specialty items on the shelf that I normally only find for sale online. Overall, it was well worth the trip to check these guys out, and I am certain that I will be making the drive again, soon. Can’t wait to keep an eye on them as they continue to grow.
