Jim's firearms in Baton Rouge

[zig500]

Just wondering if anyone has dealed with this guys i was looking at a rifle there today some of the guys did not seem real friendly but they was busy might be the reason

 

[jalger]

yeah I've had a Kimber on order there for about 8 months now. They seem like good people! And yes when gun salesmen are busy don't take offense, they get stressed out too just like you and me!

I been there several times and bought a few handguns from there and my experience was good. From my experience it appears there tactic was to address me right as soon as I came to the counter. Once they realized I was serious (using their mind reading techniques) about a purchase, then they catered to me. Other times I went there and they sensed I was just there looking around, then they let me be. I didn't sense any disrespect or anything like that.

I've dealt with them a few times. Some do seem to have a bad attitude but a few I've talked to were really helpful.

Hit or miss with my exp. Never purchased a gun, but have got parts and service. I don't waste their time unless I am seriously looking.

I am just never a fan of their pricing. Most are knowledgeable about the firearms they stock and if not, will get someone who is.

This has been my experience as well. When it's busy....it is NUTS in there. If I have time on my hands, I'll wander around and wait for the gun case crowd to thin out a little bit before even trying to approach it.

I've also seem them use their high grade ESP skills to quickly determine whether a customer is full of hot air, asking sincere questions, posturing for effect etc.

I went in there earlier this afternoon to kill some time. Stupid busy.

Several different guys behind the counter asked me if I needed any help-just looking, thanks.

I hope they read this post, but there was a guy tobacco-spitting into a Gatoraid bottle with about 3" of bile colored spit in the container the whole time I perused the gun cases. Waiting on customers, spitting in the bottle-carried it with him everywhere he went.

Farkin' Gross!

Called to get a price on a Beretta PX4 in .45 as a Christmas present for my son. Was quoted $579, which was the same as Cabellas, but less than BP, Heberts, etc. I decided not to go to a big box store and buy local from Jim. Went to pick it up and they said the price was $659. Apparently, they quoted me the 9mm model on the phone. They would not budge on the price, even though they misquoted it and I was there with the $$$ in my hand. Ordered it from Accurate, and total was $647 including tax and shipping. Sent Jim an email, no response back. F' em.

I've had mostly good experiences there in the past, they almost always have what I'm looking for but you will pay more for most of their stuff (One great deal they have are Nightforce Scopes priced lower than most online vendors.) There are a couple guys with the personalities of wet bricks but for the most part they are very knowledgeable, patient, and helpful. I watched them throw an obviously drunk guy out of the store last week, he was pissed because they would not let him buy a gun...

I have bought several guns from them. They have always been helpful and friendly to me.

 

[poor_shot]

i have always been helped. i've never really had a bad experience there. when gas tubes where hard to find, i was able to get a mid-length one from them. also, i was able to purchase a lower from them at a semi reasonable price less than a month ago.

 

[SimpleGreen]

I buy from them every now and then. Service is usually pretty good. They are a real helpful bunch if you are serious about purchasing. However, my friends and I drop in enough that half of the people know us by name, or at the very least recognize us readily, lol.

 

[Jasarii]

I have only been there one time and even though it was busy, everyone I spoke with was friendly and helpful.

 

[DS727]

Been doing business with Jim since right after he left EBRSO and started his business.

Have bought many firearms and accessories from them. Always treated fairly.

They may be more expensive than some other shops in town, but they stock alot more and its worth a few bucks to me to get what I want, when I want it.

Go there having done your homework already.

These days there are zero excuses to use a salesman's word as the driving force to what you should purchase.

That being said, everyone there is very nice and willing to help. I don't believe their pricing structure and trade structure is worth a crap but that's their business. The one outright thing I am against is their used weapon selection. They claim, "All our used firearms are cleaned, inspected, and guaranteed." I've seen otherwise on multiple occasions when it comes to the "cleaned" portion.

I do shop there and will continue to shop there. It's just all about knowing what to expect (or not to expect).

 

[Doctor481]

Have purchased several guns there. Never a really bad experience.
Some stuff can be priced a little high, but they have never charged me to fingerprint up any gun I asked to see.
Have negotiated lower pricing a couple times, need to have the facts straight before asking though.
Bought an item that rang up different than marked 1 time, didn't notice until home. Next trip to BR they made it right with a huge apology, as it should be.

I generally buy all my stuff at Jim's. Yeah, some of there prices are high, but I'm an impatient bastard. So when I want something, and they have it, I buy it. Generally they have an awesome stock on guns, not to mention the selection of 1911s.

I generally (most always) deal with Brian over there. He has been working there a long time and knows his stuff. Generally goes the extra mile to help me.

Does anybody know if Jim's has a P7 for sale? I remember seeing one there last year but that was last year...

I was there over the weekend and I only think they had P30's. But that was the weekend, so they could have gotten some in. Give them a call tomorrow and see if they have it.

There was one about three weeks ago and there's a used one still listed on their website.
