Re: Houston area shops

I wanted to add a couple places not mentioned so on, and a tip or two.

First, there is a Bass Pro in Katy Mills Mall that has a decent selection. I feel confident there is a Cabela's somewhere in town also. Both are owned by the same company now, both sell guns and have a decent selection. Both are kind of high priced in my opinion, but they have the guns there.

Academy was mentioned and has a fair selection in the store. But they also have a very good selection on their web site that you can order from. You pay on line but they deliver through their own store, so there is no extra shipping or FFL transfer fees. On a separate point, if you are a veteran, Academy occasionally does sales for 10% off everything in their store for veterans/military/first responders. This includes firearms and their web site. I believe they have one going on right now through July 6.

As a tip, look for the police supply stores. They will almost always have decent selections of guns for self-defense. I believe most of Houston PD uses Central Police Supply (or they did when I was living in Houston 30 years ago. If you go to the Glock web site, they have a dealer locator page that is handy. Specifically, look for "blue label" dealers. These are the guys who sell enough to cops that I would bet on them having a decent selection also. Obviously, this is not a foolproof way, but I think it might be a fair bet.

Welcome to the state and to the forum.
