Donavon's in Metairie

[buck3050]

Has anyone done business with this shop? Went there the other day looking for some #10 percussion caps and the guy was very rude and thought his sh---t didn't stink. Will never go back. He said they quit making them 5 years ago. Went to another retailer and they had all i needed.

Gun Shops

The guy you met is the owner he treats all customers like that. Do not know how he has stayed in business. Must be hard to live life and stay miserable as that guy does all the time.

I dealt with him a little. I went in to check the place out. Prices are high. I don't think he knows much about reloading. He was OK. Hours of operation require me to go during working hours.

He did order something for me without prepaying but it turned out to be kind of a pain.

I called on the phone 1 time and he got shitty with me. I "went off" right back to him and he changed his tune.

If I am desparate I'll go. I try not to get desparate.

I think he does a good bit of getting parts for guns. I don't know if he sells them or only does the repairs.

Not worth going, plenty of other options with better service and far cheaper prices.

+11ty billion! Nothing he has or can get that Morey at 10-8 can't.

I've driven past quite a few times but he's never been open when I had time to stop.

The only reason I still go there occasionally is because I went to high school with his son, and know the family, but I know exactly where you are coming from.

 

[madmax4x4]

over priced crap and he is a ****... That place should be a pawnshop anyway.

I have been wanting to go in there for a while now, but i guess i wont.

Same here, very bad attitude. Also, I love all the signs hanging from the ceiling "hurry before it's banned"

"Obama will not let you have this gun" etc. It's patheic to fear-monger.

 

[Dave328]

LOL @ Rummel!!!!

 

[BOSS302]

Jealous huh?

You know he was a deputy and was shot while in a shootout in the 80's. I have never been in his store, but I have seen the signs as I passed it.

I was not aware of that. Maybe the bullet is still stuck up his asss, hence the bad attitude. LOL

Man when I went he really wasn't an a hole although he was mainly fooling with something in the back, but when I talked to him he was nice. Also at the time he had the cheapest XD's when I was looking for mine.
