The clerk sort of scoffed at the question. Only one small cabinet (locked) with powder. Very little reloading equipment. Small stock of useless OWB holsters.

I've never been impressed with GM. During the first ammo shortage I stood at the counter and watched the manager pull WWB ammo out of a Walmart bag and mark up walmarts price by 300%. That told me all I needed to know about GM.

Most I'd seen since last November. Also well supplied with handguns, including more hard-to-find pieces like SA EMP, S&W M&P R8, 340 PD and 351 PD revolvers.

The down side is that several handgun prices I checked were marked-up 3 to 5 percent ABOVE MSRP, while a box of UMC .380 was $22 and 45 cap was $29. Glad supply is returning, but prices are discouraging.

GM has a lot of neat things, but their firearm prices are above the market norm.
A few years ago I was at a GM in Little Rock and watched the store manager take WWB ammo out of a Walmart bag and put it on the shelves. The price was double what Walmart prices it. Read on forums that others had seen the same in other states. Haven't stepped into a GM since.
