New gun store in Chandler

#1

Post by smithers599 »

Well, new to me anyway.

Chandler Tactical Firearms. Tucked around on the side of a strip mall -- not visible from the street. About 200 yards north of Floridino's Italian restaurant. (Lunch special $7, good food and plenty of it.)

Small space, only one wall with guns, but he has The Good Stuff, stuff you don't see in most stores. Owner is "Loren," seems to have his ordure assembled. Check it out if you are nearby.

If you know the store or the guy, please give us your review.

I've been in twice now, a couple of weeks apart. Good guy. Noted that some inventory had turned-over in that time. He also does kydex. I have him working on an accessory idea, not a holster. If it works out, I'll post about it.

Friend of mine died, left one of his guns (Glock pistol) to his brother in New Mexico. I took the gun to Chandler Tactical to ship to NM FFL. (NM FFL refused to do individual/FFL; only FFL/FFL.) After a week, the brother calls me and says "Where's my gun?" I drove to Chandler Tactical. "What's up?" "My bad; I'll ship it right away." Another week goes by. Brother calls me again -- still no gun. I drove to Chandler Tactical. "What's up?" "My bad; I'll ship it right away."

Hell no, you won't. Two "my bads" is enough. I took the gun back. I will take it to Scottsdale Gun Club and let them ship it. I expect they are a big enough operation that they have their act together, and know how to do a prompt transfer.

Draw your own conclusions.
