I have been to the one in Weatherford. It had a nice selection of firearms, reloaders/reloading supplies, scopes and accessories. I wrote a review a while back; they had some nice folks working in sporting goods. The whole store for that matter.
The Gibson's in Weatherford consistently has better prices and selection on a lot of the mid-range manufacturers that most sporting goods or gun stores. When we lived in Azle between 2010 and 2013 I had taken a random Wednesday off for some reason, and while in Weatherford decided to stop in to see what they had. They'd just gotten in three Ruger 22/45 MkIII with threaded barrels marked at $350. Talking with the counter clerk he said he'd just bought one himself less than 5 minutes prior. At that price I was sold and started filling out the paperwork, before I could finish another gentleman came in, saw the remaining one and said he'd take it. Pure luck that I got there when I did.

Just here recently when we were back home visiting for Thanksgiving, my buddy and I headed out to PCSC to do some shooting. I'd forgotten to bring my 10 round Pmag so he could use it in sighting in a couple ARs from bags. One our way out we stopped at several big name gun stores between Dallas and Fort Worth, but no one had any stock. On a whim we stopped at Gibson's, not only did they have one, they had a whole rack of MagPul parts/accessories priced in line with what you'd expect to pay online. As a matter of fact their gun/shooting section seemed to have expanded slightly from the last time I'd visited. Glad to see them still doing well in Weatherford.

As for others, I still have a few boxes of Winchester 20 gauge around here somewhere with K-mart price stickers on them. Same for a couple boxes of .22 shorts, though I'd be hard pressed to lay my hands on either. I'm sure I'll find both next time we go to move.
