Im not sure if this is where this belongs but i found it kinda funny. Ive been looking into getting an XD and the new XDm 5.25 got my attention (mainly because shooting a 45 gets stupidly expensive lol). Well, i went into Gander Mountain earlier and asked if they had a 5.25 and not just one of the guys behind the counter but both of them said "Thats not a popular model so you probably wont find anyone who will carry it" and then "We can order one for you but youll have to put money down since it probably wont sell if we just put it in the case". Oddly enough they wouldnt even give me a price on one. They both continued on saying "You should just look into a glock" and "they are just nicer guns without some of the annoying safety features of the xd/xdm lines". This isnt the first time ive had this type of experience at this store. Sadly its the closest place to me that carries handguns.
Last time i was there i was looking for springfields new 1911 RO to check out and the guy looked at me like i was an idiot and said "Range Officer? Ummm, idk what that is, i dont think we can get that". He clearly had no idea what i was talking about.
Anyway, i figured some of you would get a laugh out of it as i did (after the "wtf" moment).
Is it just me or does anyone else live in a place where all the gun shops are either ignorant of the items they sell or completly unprofessional (yeah, ive got more stories, lol)?
