These are Gene's correct hours.

 

He probably won't answer the phone before he opens and his line is usually bust until NICS closes.

I'm going tonight. I'll confirm his hours and post them tonight or tomorrow morning.

Wed & Fri 6:30-9pm, Sunday 1-4p

Ahhhh, redemption.

Well, went last night and got what I needed. Took an hour from when I walkin until I walked out with podwer and primers. so lesson learned, either be the first one there or dont go until 7:30ish...

An hour? Was it b/c he was so busy with lots of customers, or just taking an hour with one or two of them?

That place doesn't have a cash register, just a coffee tin with cash. There are no credit cards accepted, only cash and checks. The two gentlemen who work there are older, one of them is at least in his seventies. And everyone going there knows them. That is a sure recipe for a slow-moving line.

Normally it is the line of people waiting. Gene will BS a bit but is generally taking care of NICS till it closes. And Gene is a real nice guy. The other guy with the great personality, , will take care of the other stuff. I think he is brothers with the Grumpy Brass Guy at Dix.

I've been there once, I did have to wait about 10-15min for the "line". I'd be pretty frustrated if it was an hour, esp on a weeknight.

 

I just don't understand why most shops don't carry powder and primers. Is there some town ordinances stopping them from doing so?

Many towns have requirements on how powder and primers must be stored. I remember asking Shore Shot why they didn't, and Billy mentioned something to me about having to build a bunker for storage. Gene at Solomon's has that huge trailer next to his shop. That's where he keeps his powder.

Hours: 12pm-1pm, closed 1 hour for lunch

I don't believe he stores his powder in a Trailer. His other non hazardous stuff he does.

when I want the 4 lb jugs of Blue Dot or Longshot, he climbs into that big old trailer.

i was there around 7:45. about 8 people there. waited maybe 10 minutes or so. no biggy. it was an experience. that's for sure. mold is undoubtedly growing in my sinuses after my visit there.

Best time to get there is close to NICS closing for the night. Buyers needing NICS get taken care of before if needed.

Must have just missed you Steph, I pulled out after 7:30...Everything in front and behind the counter is covered in 3' of dust, dirt and cat hair. Everytime someone asks for something, he goes in the other room to get it.. why not move the **** behind the counter that has been there since Jesus was a baby and put the "stuff" from the other room behind the counter.. Gene must walk 12 miles a night in that place.. the clothes rack is hilarious...

Ahhh, come on, man-up.....errrrrr

Your powder must be special, or mine is. Or maybe I am special. Yes, I am Special.

 

I could have sworn he had a different area for powder. Maybe I am thinking of another place.

 

Steph, the dust adds character to the place. It is the way a gun shop should be. Minus the grumpy guy, too many of them in gun shops already.

the clothes rack is hilarious...

i swear something on that rack was looking at me. lol

 

all i could hear when i was there was the banjo from deliverance.

You sure got a purty mouth.

Little do people know, but the "other room" he goes into is actually a Class 1 laminar flow filtration positive pressure cleanroom. If he brought out the stuff that actually sells and moved it to the front, it would get dirty and nobody would want to buy it. My powder and primers came out of that back room squeeky clean..

You guys should see Gene's basement!!
