Restored to be Able to React ~…read more Several Months ago a souvenir of Sand from Jamaica broke in my bag and invaded every crevice of my Kimber. I tried to dust her off and clean the barrel with my gun kit, but didn't do a good job. I stuck my baby in the drawer and after a month or so, sliding the chamber became difficult and you could audibly hear the crunching of the sand. One of my military friends was able to clean her a bit more while scolding me and said to get her professionally cleaned. I searched Google and Jeff's Gun shop popped up near me on De Zavala. As we entered the shop, Jeff's warm smile greeted me first and of course I was proud to see the military and police emblems proudly displayed about. Being a little rusty on my weapon, Jeff Gave me a lesson on my Kimber, as well as, a discussion on the sand in my weapon. ( Sand Not Allowed) slowly downcast eyes.... He promised me that he could restore her to new and get her to the performance she was designed for. I explained that I wanted a weapon with less recoil and he recommended I try Nardis for the "Practice and Purchase" feature. I left my baby in good hands and followed his advice and headed to Nardis. I did in fact purchase a Smith and Wesson that weekend after practicing on several different weapons. Today, I picked up my baby and was amazed at the photos of the rust that invaded my weapon. In her former state, I would not have been confident that she would be able to fire correctly. Jeff took her apart and cleaned every bit of rust and sand from her interior. The care and attention to detail was evident as I slid the chamber back and forth and didn't hear a crunching sound. My baby was clean and restored to her former Glory! Thank you Jeff for taking care of my girl! This Soldier appreciates you and I Promise I'll never let her get that bad again. If you need your weapons serviced, cleaned, Advice, good conversation or a Downright Cool Dude, visit Jeff! I won't go anywhere else! Highly recommended 10 stars

It was my sorority sister's birthday and this was how she wanted to celebrate it. I'd been wanting…read moreto go to a range for a while and just hadn't prioritized it. Boy, am I'm glad I went. Im not an expert and I wouldn't even claim novice. I'm not a stranger to guns but I've never had to shoot one either (the BB gun I had as a kid is the exception). The service staff was great and informing me what gun to practice with. They really took their time explaining. I settled on a 45. The birthday girl was already inside getting a private lesson but she'd been the day before and bought a 22. Another sorority sister gave me a lot of tips so by the time the attendant came to walk me through, I was ready. I started with the 22 and that felt good. I did quite a few practice rounds with that one. I decided to try a small purple gun my sis brought with her. I had to! It was purple! The power from that gun was mightier than its size. I was blown away! So yeah, I went back to the 22 lol. I really enjoyed the day and was glad to celebrate with her but now I have a new interest. I priced the guns, I have no way of knowing whether I'm getting a good deal or not. I decided to have a talk with my cousin to see what he thinks and purchase later. If you've never been, just know the fees add up. You need ear protection & eye protection and they have it available for purchase. If you wear glasses, they count as eye protection. It's crazy loud, I used the ear plugs and the over the ear muffs. And of course there are fees to rent a gun (if you don't bring your own) and for use of the range.

Minor work sometimes can be done while you wait and more elaborate stuff may take overnight. The other great thing is they have LAY-AWAY, I used it before, for a shotgun I wanted, but didn't really care to have it right away. It worked out great, I made a few payments here and there, then bam, I was at the shooting range. The prices are pretty good, but what makes them special, is that they offer guns that you won't find at Academy or most commercial gun stores, i.e. AK-47, AK- pistol, SKS style shotguns, etc... So, if you are looking for stuff that you can find at Academy, you'd save a few more dollars for those types of guns at Acadmey since they buy in bulk, but if you can't afford to buy the gun outright then go to Powder Horn and put it on lay away or start saving.

They were rude, dismissive, and refused to call ATF for clarification -- I had to call myself and put the ATF agent on speaker so they could be corrected. Even after admitting their mistake, they refused to cover the reshipment cost and made me pay again. They clearly do not understand basic FFL transfer procedures and should not be handling firearms or transfers until properly trained.
