Plainfield Shooting Supplies

[ryanmercer]

Interesting. I had a discussion on pricing at Bradis a few months ago. The guy made reference to Plainfield. Apparently they know they have competition.

Bradis is highway robbery the past few years... AAC in Mooresville, and Plainfield Shooting are the best places to go.

I was beginning to think that I was the only one who thought that.

Don't get me wrong though, I still shop there... I've found cheaply priced, good mags, in their random mag bin numerous times, and I always love seeing the surplus rifles they buy up as they are just neat to handle and then go learn about. I just hate how the 'rifle room' as I call it... is more like a flea market with all the cheap nick-nacks and what not.

I agree. Of course, as I've explained here before I remember when Bradis opened. So... maybe I'm just being sentimental, but IMHO Bradis just isn't what it used to be.

Glory days! I gave them a pretty fair ammount of biz 20ish years ago too.

It sure is different than those days when you went to Bradis for the best selection and prices without need to shop around. Of course, that was also the day when you seen a Speedway gas station and knew it was, for sure, the best price around. Things change and we as consumers are a bit distanced from what it takes to keep a business like this profitable.

The great news in all of this is that modern day tools, like INGO, keep all involved informed.

From what I noticed, whatever the "new" or "talked about" gun is on the market, they sell them but at relatively high prices (about 50 to even 75 bucks) higher than the other shops.

Their rifle room looks like a Russian armoury that had a flea market throw up into it.

Ammo isnt too bad there, I do like the idea of the 100 round packs on about everything. Not everyone wants to buy a case but wants more than a single box. They had Radway Green in 100 round packs when I first arrived to Indy. I didnt have an AR at that time, so I passed. Stupid me, because they had it for literally next to nothing (compared to now).

Yeah I remember when Bradis was awesome, it's the only place dad would shop... dad has been dead for 10 years...

Picked up my new carry gun yesterday from PSS. Kahr PM40 and was treated great again as usual.

Let us know how your Kahr does.

Let us know how your Kahr does.

So far so good. Already put almost 50 rounds through it. Does have a little more lift than my G33 does but is controllable.

Either my Google-Fu is extremely lacking, or they don't have a website. Does anyone know if Plainfield Shooting supplies has a site up?

I don't believe they do. But it is worth the drive over there.

I'm definitely planning on visiting, I'd just like to 'windowshop' before I'm able to make it down there.

 

[SilentWarrior1]

Lemme know if you do. I'm 3 minutes from there.

Just stopped in... wasn't too terribly impressed... way too many glocks for my tastes... and on a .22 magnum tiny little job that I purchased for 89 at AAC a few months ago... was 180 something at Plainfield Shooting Supplies... other than that though the prices were pretty decent, with the glocks looking a tad cheaper there than at AAC (few bucks). Good people though.

I did however get nervous when the older gentleman lit up... I quickly glanced around for black powder hahha.

It's my usual place.
Bob can be a little...crusty, but so what.

That is why I like Bob. I am a bit crusty also.

 

[jakemartens]

PSS does not have a website. I have bought and traded probably 20-25 guns and even sold some with Bob. As far as shops goes, you will have trouble finding a better place around Indy to do business with.

 

[WestSider]

+1 for Bob at PSS. Every gun I have ever bought new I purchased from him. (Only one that I didn't was my Ruger LCP I got from AAC in Mooresville). Bob has great prices and is always willing to give you good $ for trades.

And he has one heck of a singing voice.. even if it is only every other word to the song that is on the radio..
