Fleet Farm Handguns?

[Scratch]

Hi Guys,

We are still rolling out handguns, not every store has every model yet. I know plans are 50 plus models of handguns at each store, possibly more to follow depending upon sales, new items etc etc. I know they are trying to be competitive on pricing, I'll pass on your feedback. I know they plans include Glock, SW, Springfield, Ruger, Taurus, and maybe more to come.

Thanks guys for your support,
Dave

I know they already have a pretty good selection of AR accessories, but are they planning on adding more that you know of?

The initial roll out of AR stuff should be pretty complete. I know the the buyer and the VP have been talking about adding new things. Anything you are looking for?

Sounds like I should check it out. The last time I was in FF in Owatonna, they had lots of AR stuff, but no handguns yet.

Here's a question on the "Huldra Arms" branded merchandise, other than firearms - it popped into my head as I browsed your Lakeville store on Monday afternoon.

How come your low-pro rail covers are 2-3x as much as everyone else's? The packaging doesn't explain the composition or properties of the materials, but they don't look much different from everything else on the market.

Good selection on the merch otherwise -- just be sure to keep stock #'s high on the common items people like, Lakeville had a lot of bare pegs on their display - might just have been my timing too.

They had Enfield Mk4 No1's in the cabinet for $229.00 as well. Looked a little rough, but not a bad deal for a shooter .303.

I assume you are talking about the ladder style rail covers correct? I am not involved with pricing but I will forward this to the folks that are, thanks fornthe feedback. Thanks fornyour feedback on ournother stuff too, I know they want to keep as much stuff in stock as possible but some of the AR stuff has been selling far better then expected.

Thanks
Dave

The Fleet Farm in Alexandria started carrying them.

And the pricing on some of the hanguns here is very reasonable.

Winona Fleet Farm has had their handguns out for a couple of weeks. The gun department is a much busier place now.

That is maybe a nice surprise to management and I hope they realize it.

Checked out the Blaine Fleet Farm tonight. They had Rugers, Glocks, S&Ws, Springer XDs, a few Sigs, and some others. Prices were cheaper than Cabela's by $10-$50. Then I went to Bill's North...Bill's was cheaper still! Picked up a nice (new) Ruger 10/22 Sporter with a very nice walnut stock and (gasp!) a decent trigger pull for $299 plus tax! Few places have the Sporter model...I wasn't even going to buy anything...but....

One of the benefits of Fleet Farm handguns is that Bills salesmen will hear "Fleet Farm has it for $50 less"

Competition is good!

Up north we have L&M Fleet supply (same buying group as Fleet Farm). They bought the old Walmart building, and in the new sporting good section they do sell guns. Handguns, Shotguns, Rifles, ARs, Ammo, Supplies. It's a wonderful thing. It's where I bought my first handgun from.

So what L&M Fleet has guns?????, I've been to the Bemidji and Grand Rapids ones in the past and they had no guns, but thats been a couple years ago.

There are handguns for sale @ the Brooklyn Park FleetFarm.
