WENT TO MIKES , WILL NEVER GO BACK . HE SAID HE HAD A GUN THAT I WANTED , WHEN I GOT THERE , NO GUN . HE MADE SOME EXCUSE , BUT HE DIDNT CARE I TRAVELED OVER AN HOUR TO HIS SHOP . HE WASNT VERY FRIENDLY , LIKE I WAS BOTHERING HIM . WOULD GO TO ANYWHERE BUT THERE .

I don't believe that Mike's agenda is to really sell to the general public-at-large. He has a dedicated customer base.

its pretty nuts how most of these gun sellers in northern nj are all like this.... in my line of work having every customer stay a steady customer is the basis of surviving in this bad economy.... new customers are very very rare with everyone in the industry trying to make a profit whether it be 5 dollers or 5000 dollers..... ill be making another 1st purchase tomorrow and i will see how that goes being i am trying to find a dealer that wants a steady loyal future customer with a great job and little bills....

Go elsewhere. Dicked a good friend of mine around with a shotgun he purchased there.

I am sure that that equation has to do somewhat with the policies that our state has toward them and gun owner's in general. Or, maybe the current setup only attracts a certain personality type.

if his agenda is not to sell to the general public , thats even more reason not to go there . ira at legend firearms knows how to treat his customers . go see ira for your firearm needs , good prices and great guy . hope mike is happy with his customers , dont think he will get anymore with his AGENDA

I've been to Mike's several times. No problem. I have no idea what you guys are seeing or expect.

If you just want to stick to north jersey, try RTSP. Their prices are reasonable, inventory is decent and expanding, great store, and great people working there.

I expect to be treated like a serious customer when I go into someplace. Not like its some huge hassle to open up the handgun safe for me to see what he has in stock.

 

Also, Its a good thing I had my P2P On my person while I was there becuase he wasn't even going to bother opening the safe at all if I didn't have it right then and there.

I've never esperienced that. Let's look at the variables. Mike is the constant- agreed? You and I are the variables. He treats me well...

He doesn't treat you well. Must be you....

lol, I understand where you're coming from. If you said what i said about my LGS where they treat me well I would be doing the exact thing you are.

 

So take it for what its worth. Thats my experiance at mikes. That and him trying to replace a defective $300+ shotgun my good friend bought from him with a $100 working turd and calling it even.

okay enough about mikes . if you think he treats people good , than go there . i tell everyone i know about my experience , and tell them not to go there . treat people like you want to be treated , i always say . he prob is a great guy to people he knows . i will stick to gun shops that treat people with respect , even if i pay a little more . there is alot of comp out there .
