So in an effort to try out some 22lr handguns I went to Shore Shot. They didn't have much in 22. They had a revolver and they had a GSG 1911-22. I picked the GSG.

 

The other times I have been to SS the staff was great... Friendly, helpful, etc. however it was always on a weekend. today I was disappointed. None of the guys I normally see we're not there. 3 guys standing doing nothing while I stood and waited at the counter until I asked to be helped.

 

I got the GSG and headed in. Out of 100 rounds I had 6 FTFs. I am just learning and never dealt with that so I had to ask the range master to help. He seemed annoyed. After the 4th time I just tarted to try and clear myself which I did successfully.

 

I really liked the GSG. I hope the FTFs were just because it was a dirty rental. The ammo was CCI. Just wanted to share.

Probably because the gun may have been dirty. Sorry about your crappy time.

Agree, probably a dirty gun or just one thats been not cared for..

I bought a .22 conversion used for my sig and had a bunch of FTF's and after I oiled it up it worked like a champ and it was with crappy remington .22's so it was probably just dirty or needed some oil.

SS staff is hit or miss on customer service sometimes, there are a few good guys there usually the ones that work the night shifts. One guy I have always had good experience with is Matt, he is always first to approach and ask if you need help and is honest and wont bs you like salesmen from other stores I have dealt with.

That's a shame. Post it on shore shot's sponsor thread. I'm sure the owners would want to know if their paid employees are just sitting around bullshitting and not helping customers.

I didn't think of that. Also I found it odd they never had me fill out the liability form. Not sure of the legality around that but I always have filled that out as a renter

You only fill it out your first time there and they keep it on file. Maybe instead of posting in the public thread, send a PM to Shore Shot. Tell them about the disclosure form. Knowing the owners there, they would want to know and would take steps to make sure it is corrected.

I already posted in their forum. I guess I am just annoyed because in this day and age, retailers (no matter what category) want your money but they never give you the customer service anymore. Maybe to them $300 - $400 isn't a lot for a gun but for me, just starting out and having to pay almost half my salary to my ex for child support and alimony, its a big deal. I want the whole package including customer service. It pisses me off because I just went through this with a bass guitar amp I bought 3 weeks ago. The thing died after 16 days and the store wouldn't replace it. The duplicated the problem but wanted to send it out for a repair. I emailed the CEO of the manufacturer Line 6 and they contacted the music store and told them to replace it. I shouldn't have to do stuff like that. I think service matters more than the product to a degree. Oh well you live and learn LOL.

My response here will be similar to what I said in the other thread where you mentioned this. If that pr*ck (and yes he was a pr*ck if he got annoyed with you over this) was so bothered about this, he should have offered or suggested that you take the gun up and have them do a quick clean and lube to the gun. It would have taken 10-minutes tops, would have made your experience a better one and would have been less-bothering to the pr*ck Range Master or whatever his title was. It really pisses me off when people get pissed doing what they're getting paid to do.

Don't you see that as a concern in itself? There's no excuse to being renting and actually paying for something that's not ready to shoot reliably. Hague's does the same thing. They have a P226 that I don't think they've ever cleaned or inspected. I don't understand what wrong with people and businesses these days. If that were my place, I'd make sure my sh*t was ready to go, each and every time.

Amen Ray! Too bad I don't live in Marlton or Collingswood anymore. We could have hooked up to shoot. If you ever are in the seaside/LBI/Pt Pleasnat area over the summer drop me a line and we'll hit the range.

Yes I do, I would think thats not going to help them sell the GSG when people have problems like that.

 

I was just pointing out that that is not the norm with the GSG 1911-22 if it's kept in proper working order.

Thanks Harry. I didn't think so because I read pretty good things about it.
