Don't forget Abercrombie and Fitch, once the best gun store in the USA, now a clothing emporium for the alternate lifestyle.

Dean is correct that KTP has many, many guns, new and used. The only gripe I have with them is the way they display there used better quality SxS's. On a floor rack behind a counter. Makes it impossible to casually look them over. You need a clerk to help you see the guns and maybe its just me but I feel awkward taking up a clerks time when I just want to look the inventory over.

Not only that Steve, but behind that counter and in the rack on the wall, the better guns are behind drawn curtains so you can’t even see them unless you ask the clerk who always seems to have two customers ahead of you.
It’s just not worth it anymore.

I started to put them first in the list, but typed too quickly and forgot to list them.
