LGS in Nassau?

[knuts]

Hello everyone, I have a friend who lives in Nassau county who recently bought a house, since hes single and alone and a first time home owner he wants to buy a home defense shotgun, ive recommended him both mossy and remy to check out. Now he doesnt know anything about firearms so he wants me to come with him to shop for his first shotgun.

At first he wants to come up in westchester where i live and bring him to a few LGS in my area. I told him its better for me to just drive down to Long island and check LGS in his area.

anyone know or recommend places in Nassau county to check out since I dont know any LGS down there? preferably a big one that has alot of selections since he is a bit picky.

Nassau is pretty big. But here's a few..

South Shore Sportsman
Hunter's Essentials
Coliseum gun traders (little on the expensive side)

If you travel a little into suffolk camp site in huntington is typically regarded as one of the best on long island.

these are good, thanks guys. anymore suggestions? he lives in great neck btw. also, any close by range? he wants to try my shotgun before heading to the gunstore hahah

That's a good idea to let your friend try your shotgun before he runs out & buys one.

Nassau country rifle & pistol (indoor) range in Uniondale.
(But they only allow slugs if your shooting a shotgun. )

From experience, don't waste your time with South Shore Sportsman. All of their prices are MSRP or above. About a year ago a guy I used to work with walks in there with a like new P226 he wanted to sell. He said the guy at the counter seemed very uninterested and offered him $100 for it. He walked out of course. No biggie. They just won't get our business especially when they treat customers like they're suckers.

Coliseum Guns is the same way. They buy very low and sell extremely high!

Both South Shore Sportsman and Coliseum are excellent shops with lots of inventory and expertise. If saving 25 or 50 bucks on a gun is needed to put food on your table then order one from gunbroker and ship to an FFL. I for one will patronize both those shops (and CampSite too) because of the excellent selection and service.

i will take him to probably all thats listed unless he finds one on the first store we stop by. i dont think money will be a issue with him, he said his budget was around 600-700 anyways, thats enough for him to pimp his shotty up lol

You do what you need.
The man was asking about LI GS.
I don't need 25-50 to put food on the table. I will not give a dime to some condescending stores.
Options are like a-holes, to some they smell like shit and to others it smells like honey!!!
