Tombstone at Metro Center

[pneuby]

They have completed the move to the former Souper Salad building a few yards to the south of where they were. Big, circular landmark building, which spars that reach up like a funnel above the roof-line.
Grand Opening specials are Fri/Sat 4/22 and 23. Maybe hit them Friday, and Ric's on Sat, LOL. :mrgreen:

Some will be on the app, but overall, they have some of the best prices in the valley on most everything. I usually make a comparison from what I can find online and what they sell for. If I can't get the tax off online, generally, it's within a few dollars from what I'd pay there. There are somethings that I save a few hundred buying online, but it's rare.

Best thing about the store, you can finger phuck all the guns without having to have someone get it behind glass and hand it to you. I was in this morning finger banging a few triggers to see if I liked something. :mrgreen:

I like the concept of Ammo AZ (I do shop there often...)

But I would never, ever buy a firearm there that was on display. I have been in there many, many times and seen people drop rifles, and repeatedly ram the living crap out of the end of pistols trying to get them back on the display rod-holder-thingies (you wouldn't think functioning humans would have an issue with round peg in round hole - but they do.)

I was in there last week buying a CZ-75 and some dingus straight up dropped a little cheapy .22 rifle from chest high, it bouncing off the floor - then he looks around and sticks it back on the rack, lol.

Luckily I go there on weekdays mid-day usually so there isn't a ton of people, but I always laugh my a** off at the dingdongs that literally go to nearly every single pistol and rack the slide/ dry fire/ drop the mags 48 times in a row, then move to the next identical one and do the same. Also love seeing the dildos doing their best "tactical John Wicky" moves with ARs/AKs off the wall. Never gets old.

If I owned the place - it would drive me nuts. But I guess he gets free people watching entertainment.

I always feel bad for the staff at Tombstone - as some days that place is a mad house of people who have no intent to buy, or can't legally. The location lends itself to being subject to all the sh*tbirds who stroll in with big wishes and little wallets. Last time I was in there to buy a gun, when I got up to the counter after a wait - I just said I want that, box it up. Sales dude was stunned that I didn't want to waste all his time for a no-sale.
Also, the last two things I found on their website (charging handle and a trigger) where 10-15 bucks cheaper in store than on the website. So that was nice.

Ah yes, Ammo Az.
Where the guns stolen from there during business hours is almost equal to the guns sold...

Tombstone is building a 20,000 Sq ft retail shop and 14 lane range in East Mesa. That'll be cool.

That sounds interesting....where is that going to be located?

My grandmother used to take us to lunch there. Pretty sure it was the 70s. Lol

LOL, One gun was stolen while 3 police were in the store, taken out of a Roni no less. Cops had the owner occupied while they took it out of the Roni. So far, they've caught all but one of the thieves.

Trolling isn't a good fit for you dude, you just look like an ass when you do it.

About 4067 E Main. Lot east of Cliffs Welding. There will be a second building for additional retail and food.

That was the old Western Savings and Loan building. Western Savings and Loan went under in 1990 after being seized by regulators the year before.

I grew up just south of Dunlap Ave, and remember the area before Metro Center was even built (and the neighborhood became what it is now)…

Multiple videos of multiple gun thefts at Ammo Az are on YouTube, cupcake.
None of which involved was a handgun taken out of a Roni. That was another incident.

Who knows how many times they have had firearms stolen that hasn't been made public knowledge. Maybe you know, since you seem to be swinging off of Ammo Az's nutsack

It is so delightful how easily triggered you are. Especially at 3 am.

Almost as many guns stolen as sold...

Yeah, I remember those. My older brother moved to Patio Hermoso across from the Metro Center
in the late seventies and I used to get down to Phoenix to visit him a couple times a year. That was all a nice area back then. I was amazed, however, how quickly the whole area seemed to deteriorate by the nineties.

We had spring football games at Cortez high school in the 80s and it was getting ghetto then.

But yes south of Dunlap went to crap quick.

I grew up in sunny slope. Went to paradise valley my last 2 years of HS. What a difference. Lol.

 

[knockonit]

gonna get worse, it'll be a hub for the drainage called the mass transit train, take a look at what happened at 19th ave and dunlap, what a shiat hole the whole area has become,
bummer ,metro in the day was a cool place, but sure went to hell quick

Light rail zombies. Why dump them there?

 

[BigNate]

Pretty sure that building was a bank before being a <cough cough> "restaurant" (a place that serves exclusively my food's food does not strike me as a restaurant...). We used to cruise Metro Center on the weekends - thousands of cars driving around in circles revving at the pretty girls who were there to look at the guys revving their cars...

As to Ammo AZ- I'd never buy a demo gun there either. On the other hand - I'd probably avoid a demo gun from most places. However, when I bought a handgun there a while ago they did not try to sell me the demo - it was a new-in-box gun from stock - and the price was better than elsewhere. I do cringe as I watch people wave crap around in there - but again - it's been a long time since I've been in a gun store that had more than a couple of people in it where I was not moderately uncomfortable at being repeatedly flagged by customers, or worse yet, counter workers.

Light Fail - making it easier for transients and beggars to get to the 'burbs on the taxpayer's dime. I remember reading (years ago - like at the start of Light Fail) that the taxpayers were paying something like $17 PER RIDER per ride for Light Fail riders and would be for at least the first 30 years. Given cost over-runs I have to assume that those numbers have risen as well. Gotta love the big-gubbermunt slugs who pimp this horrible stuff.
