Phoenix gun shops?

Mastiff37 · October 7, 2012, 10:23 AM

I grew up in Phoenix, but haven't spent any time there in 15 years or more. I'm heading up today to run some errands and was thinking of checking out a gun shop or two. Any recommendations? I'm looking for a big selection, especially if I could see some cowboy revolvers that would be great (never held an Uberti or USFA). I remember going to one place with my dad that had a polar bear standing up in a case when you went in... can't remember the name, but good selection for the time.

Any ideas would be great. My actual destination is Tempe/Mesa, coming from Tucson, but I'll drive if it's worthwhile.

Try" Legendary Guns". North 19th ave. north of Camelback rod. Good selection of western firearms.

Sounds like you might be gone already, but +1 Legendary for the cowboy stuff. Mesa Gun Shop on Broadway in Mesa is a very small old-timey store to check out for occasional used "finds." Another for general shooting--mostly new--would be Bear Mountain Sports nearby - it is very hunting oriented. A few more are Bear Arms in mid-north Scottsdale and Derby Guns in south Scottsdale. Derby's got some used cowboy guns and hunting rifles. Out Mesa way again, there are a few shops down in Gilbert and Chandler whose names escape me.

The standing polar bear you recall is at Shooters World off I-17 and Indian School(ish). Haven't been there in years, don't know if they're still around.

Well if you are still in town it is worth the trip to AJI Sporting Goods ( http://www.ajisports.com/ ). Nice overall selection and several single actions. Heavy on mil-surp rifles and AR/AK.
