[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2627951, member: 29706"] Stopped in and looked around a bit with my wife today. Will throw a few things in that I noticed especially since she walks with a cane currently and one thing that REALLY bugs me. The inside look to me is very nice but it's also the new yet old look for the floors. Kinda wonder if they really were patched or just made to look that way for looks sake. I agree that the rifle and shotgun selection and display looks fairly nice and some of the highly accurized 10/22's was interesting to see to say the least. It was nice to be able to take a look at the pistols and not feel like it was a burden for someone to get something out of a case even if the selection was on the small side from what I am used to seeing. I would have enjoyed seeing multiple of the same caliber/brand close together for direct comparison however. A full size M&P with a compact and shield on the same table with maybe the comparable version by Glock or some other brands. Now here is one of my pet peve's and maybe it's just the way I look at things but the system for "securing" the pistols is poor to say the least IMHO. I think it's only a matter of time before some decent looking guy with a few "friends" as lookouts and someone who really looks like a thug come in as a distraction. A pair of side cutters will make quick work of that cable and the pistol will end up in a bag or jacket and on the streets. I expected to see a heavier cable with a dummy load on the end of it securing everything together or something that when cut will sound an alert. All I know is if I had displays looking like that I would be EXTREMELY paranoid and would be looking for a better solution as quickly as possible. For those people who walk with a cane or are bound to a wheelchair, from what I can see you will have access to the store, the parking spots are right in front where they belong and there is a lift available but it looks like an employee will be required to operate it so bring a friend to go inside or have the number and a cell phone ready if you can't make it up the stairs as no ramp is available. I did not notice much else beyond that and did not use the range to be aware of anything there. There is a flight of stairs inside that goes up and did not notice if there was access via another elevator and did not see a lift. I know that this info doesn't matter to most people but when you have lived with someone who can not walk you tend to look and there are some who will need to know. Someone else mention the mag prices and I do have to agree that some adjustments will need to be made. A M&P .45 10 rounder was about $40 and a 15 round M&P 40 was $65, online at midway the .45 would be pretty close but the .40 can be had easily for about $25 plus shipping so pick and choose as when the capacity goes over a certain amount it looks like the price hits a premium. I also have to agree that prices on weapons are very close to MSRP but I expect that will change soon enough unless they start getting some .22lr bulk packs to give along with a purchase they may not be doing as much sales as they would like.
