Southwest Arms / Thunderjohn - have you bought from him?

[TCFurDad]

I've been in touch with John who runs Southwest Arms regarding ordering a couple of guns I've wanted but am having trouble finding. He seems like a good guy, totally legit and all. I'm just extra cautious when it comes to purchasing anything and even more so when it comes to guns. A few people in another thread seemed to be familiar with him by mentioning him as one of the Twin Cities' best dealers.

I just wanted to double check here and see if anybody has bought from him. So, if you've dealt with him and/or bought with him, if you could just tell me, and maybe briefly say how your experience was, good/bad, any problems, etc. I have no reason to think that there will be any problem ordering through him, I just want to be extra sure though.

Thanks.

If you search the threads here, you will find many, many positive reviews for John, and nothing negative that I am aware of. I have bought 3 or 4 guns from him and all the transactions went extremely smooth. John's great to work with, an honest guy, and quick to deliver. Buy with confidence.

I too have bought multiple guns from John.
I steer all my Buds his way!! A great guy and someone you can trust!
Scopes, Guns and related accessories are all cheaper through John. I like to refer to Southwest Arms as my new "Best Buy" of firearms.

you should have no worries on this one dude.

I've purchased from John previously and will echo the other feedback in this thread - you can buy/deal with him in total confidence.

Thanks!

Agree 100%

John may not like being associated with vvrroomm though

I'll echo everyone's sentiments. I purchased my FNX-9 from him a couple months ago. He was able to match the price I was quoted from CDNN, and even arranged to meet me at a place convenient to me to take the order. I would order from him again without hesitation.

You can not do any better than John. I also consider John a personal friend and I am proud work with, purchase from and help John every chance I get. John is 200 percent legitimate and his morals and ethics are above reproach.

I've recommended ThunderJohn to a couple friends and the buddy who bought a gun transferred through ThunderJohn's FFL said the experience was simple and straight forward.

[Stradawhovious]

I have purchased from Thunderjohn, and will again in the future. One of the best firearms transactions I have been involved with.

Sure had to have some kind of negative

+1001 on great guy to deal with

There are a only few people that I know I can count if I need something, guns or otherwise. John is one of them.
