Pops Closed !?!

[gtpilot21]

I went there a few time and wasn't impressed with the place. Being on the north side I was happy when Tim's and Point Blank in Carmel opened. The facilities are real nice and Point Blank gave me a few comp cards for the range since I was there the first week they opened.

Cant stand the place, its arrogance or the rediculous prices. Will never step foot on ground there.

Headed over after work, are they opened back up yet?

(Guess I will find out in about three hours)

 

[venenoindy]

I was there earlier today and was told it may be Friday when they reopen.

Yeah I can't say I would miss that place. I stopped going to PopGuns the second Highsmith opened in Greenfield. The last time I went to Pops, I had to wait for an hour to finally shoot, only to leave prematurely because the guy next to me was banging his gun around and looking down the barrel because it was jammed.

Man, I would have had to stay for the outcome of that. JK

That was my experience too. Never again. Too many other choices.

 

[STEEL CORE]

Thanks venenoindy, I stopped too as no ones answering the phone, and Terry told me Friday the 13th, unfortunately I will be headed to Michigan for Firearms Deer Season, opening on the 15th.

Guess I shall shoot some pine trees.

I wont go in Pop guns anyway ,no loss, unless they will change the personnel for friendly ones. Ones that actually acknowledge your standing there and not then be aggravated you want something.

It's interesting to me all the bad feedback I see. I've always had a decent experience when I was there. Prompt service, even by the older guy, and the prices were competitive with everyone around town. They ended up being the cheapest on my most recent purchase. The selection, however, wasn't all that great and the range is super small. I didn't care for the lack of table space behind for loading. I've really never been here when it was busy, so I can speak to the ventilation during heavy times. I could see it getting rough in there if it was busy.

I'm not saying anyone is wrong, just not what I have experienced in the years I've dealt with them.

Pharaoh,

I agree with you... I've NEVER had a bad experience there and they were always helpful and friendly.

A lot of my distaste for them comes from when they wouldn't give me my job back when I returned from a deployment to Iraq. I was being paid under the table before so there wasn't much I could do about it.

I bought several guns from them when they were on 10th and Mike was out front. When they moved and Mike worked out back, it went to hell quick. The old guy that worked there was a total jerk. He always wanted to argue with why I wanted something. His suggestions were always better. Every once in awhile you could find a deal, but mostly overpriced, low quality accessories and overpriced guns.

Sums it up nicely.

I bought a gun from them ONCE. It was Terry and he wanted to sell me a 1911. I wanted a M&P. I bought the M&P and told him to come down and buy a truck from us. He did so I guess it works both ways...

 

[STEEL CORE]

They are open again, range looks the same, store has been spruced up a bit, some new shelves, stands, and paint, that's about it.

They had to reopen before they had a chance to remodel the range. They will, not sure to what extent.

 

[dubsac]

I believe its under new managemnt now. It sucked before the prices were through the roof.

Its actually an all new business with new firearm inventory. Mike Jr just bought the rental guns and a few accessories from his dad, the rest is all new. Jr did buy the surplus store from his dad and will be running it just like it has been ran before.
