Newer gun shop in Smyrna, Guns 'N More

[musicman]

Sup fellas.

Just wanted to let any other Rutherford county and surrounding area folks know about this new shop. I don't work there, and this is just me sharing my positive experiences.

It's at 164 S Lowry Street, just about across the street from the Tomlin car dealership and just up from Enon Springs. I think they're open til 6 weekdays and 7 on Saturday, I don't remember their Sunday hours. Anywho, it's a small shop, but they have a pretty good and growing inventory of good guns. They've got the standard Glocks, Rugers, Smiths, Kahrs, and the budget HiPoint or two, but I didn't see any garbage. (I respect the HPs as generally being a reliable firearm for those not blessed with the budget for style from their self defense weapons.) They also have the new H&K VP line, and some other cool items. Right now they have some factory engraved Ruger SP101 357s that are pretty nifty. They also have a full line of the Just Right carbines... something I'll be looking into more deeply soon. ;-)

Their ammo selection is smaller right now, and always changing. I've been there three times and so far I have always found a box or two of ammo at a price that beats Academy and Wally and snagged it. Today it was a box of Federall 115gr JHP 9mm for $12.99 and Hornady 180gr XTP 10MM for $21.99. I only bought one of each, because that's all there was. ;-)

They have a crap load of Spike's lowers, both stripped and complete with varying Magpul furniture. There were a couple uppers and other parts, lpks, etc, but I didn't look too closely. Pmags are a dollar or two cheaper than Academy. If you're not buying a few online to save on shipping, you can't beat their prices short of a gun show vendor. I get a 20rd 308 Pmag every time I stop in. :-D

My second visit was to receive my S&W M&P10 I had transferred in. They knew me when I hit the door and the transaction was near immediate. Very nice people here. I'm terrible with names and feel bad that I don't remember theirs, but they already know me by name. There is a super nice lady that is pretty much always there, and I believe her husband has a regular full time job but is there when he's not working, and there has been another nice gentleman there on two of my visits. They are not pushy, but are just as ready to let you handle any firearm you want and happy to show you what's new.


Ummm.... they had some Glock Tshirts and others for like $13-15 I think, and have some nicer cases/range bags. They have a small assortment of holsters right now, and while I was there they were putting together an order for more... I have an IWB for my Shield on the way next week. :-)

There's more nice things to say, but I'm tired and have to get up early tomorrow so I'll wind it down for now.

If you're in the area, stop by and give these folks a visit. They are new and adding to their inventory daily, and are willing to get you whatever you want. Oh, transfers are $15 +tics! $10 +tics for LE and I think emergency responders, but don't quote me on that.

Tell 'em James, the big guy that got the M&P10 transferred in sent ya. :-)

Nice review thanks Musicman
I used to go to the "other"shop in smyrna and got tired of being treated like crap after I spent a lot of coin in there. I'll check em out for sure. Edited December 21, 2014 by Dustbuster

Yep, great people to do business with, been in there a lot since they opened. Bought several lowers from them, slings, and some more varied items.
They are closed Sunday and Monday and have layaway also. The $10 also applies to teachers which is awesome!

[musicman]

Oh man! I didn't know about the teacher bit... I think my wife may start shopping for her own gun collection! :-D

DB, you'll like these folks, I'm sure!

Ruger, thanks for the clarification on their days open!

[Whisper]

I've been in there also and bought some inconsequential items.  I agree they are friendly folks and I will be back.

 

Cheers,

Whisper

Thanks for the update on this shop. I didn't know about it, but will certainly give it a visit when time permits.

 

Yes, the "other shop" does seem to have a few things going against it these days. I've had a few run-ins with the owner over the years myself. 

 

Spent quite a bit, at least by may standards, there for a while. But it just seemed to get less pleasant to go in each time I was there.

I'm not familiar with "the other shop" in Smyrna, where is it. I have been to Guns-N-More, yes, very nice people. I hope they do well.

Specialty Arms.

[toby1304]

Oh, ok, they are in LaVergne. Yes, I do know what you mean.

[Dustbuster]

I know this is bad But it makes Ya wonder why their place was set on fire a few years ago,,,,,

[toby1304]

And they have been in business for over 25 years.

[phiferran]

Thanks Musicman!  I will drop in and check them out this week.

[TGO David]

Be sure to tell them you read about them on TGO.  They've been inquiring about becoming a Vendor.  Hope to see them do it.

[musicman]

Good point, David. I've also told them about TGO and encouraged them to look into it. I told them it's the most direct way to reach the core of their potential customer base. :-)

And what's your cut? Hmmm? lol

[musicman]

Pssshhh.... I wish! Lol!

I'm thinking of dropping in today and I'll make it a point to mention TGO?

[viscero]

Thanks for the review.  I have passed this place many times since they opened but always had somewhere to be and couldn't stop in.  Good to know they have a very reasonable transfer fee as well!  

[E4 No More]

I was in there today. They were as nice as can be. They said inventory is down from Christmas but getting new in, (they got a delivery while I was there). They also said prior military service got you $10 transfers too. They are actually looking into ordering me the particular 10/22 that I'm looking for.

[rugerla1]

If they don't have it, most things they can get in 2 or 3 days. Next buy will probably be a M&P Shield in 9mm for the wife. I'll probably go shoot it first, you know, just to make sure it's safe and all :woohoo:

[toby1304]

Plus they have one of the coolest business cards I hsve seen. It's a 45 laying on it's side will a couple of rounds beside it.

[nightrunner]

Is this the same place that used to be called Smyrna ammo and more? I saw that place but never stopped in, figured they didn't have a FFL for whatever reason

[musicman]

There's a place another block or so SE called Ammo Plus, I think. Different place. As you've said, no FFL there as of yet. However, he does have some fair ammo and accessory prices.

[GunsNMore]

Now all you TGO folks need to get over there and spend some money with John and his crew to thank them for supporting the TGO community.  :)
