Elmore's, in my opinion is not as "newby" friendly as Bradis. But, that being said, if you want a "man's" gun shop and enjoy the smoke and smell of stale cigars, then Elmore's is your place.
The humor is off-color, the air is smoke-filled and the politics are right-of-center - what's there to complain about? Humor aside, spending good money on that SIG and having the slide ruined would make me sick.
