Default Looking for a good gun shop

I live in Delaware County but I travel a lot in SE PA. We have very few gun shops in Delaware County but I heard that there was a gun shop somewhere in the King of Prussia area. Sorry to be so vaugue but any help would be appreciated greatly.

I know about Target Master, The Suburban Armory and French Creek in Phoenixville. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

French Creek is over priced...how do I know??? I used to work there PT...they offered me a discount and with the discount the pistols were still more expensive than at other gun shops...so that should tell you something about their prices.

Seneca Arms and Tanner's are the only two places in the area that I would personally recommend.

Tanner's is located in Jamison. If you are near Rt 611...head 611N I forget the road I take but it's near a shopping complex with a Sears Hardware...Kohls is also near the shopping center.

Better yet, I found their business card.

I highly recommend Ready Aim Fire in Bristol, PA. The staff are very friendly and knowlegable. They also hold fun events like Ladies Nights, IDPA Matches, Stake Shoots and bowling pin shoots.

big +1 on Seneca Arms. My dad started shopping there in the early 1990's when John opened his store and now I shop there. It may be a long drive from Del Co, but John always has a cool selection of used stuff to browse and great prices.

Tanners sports center 2301 lower york road, Jamison, pa. http://www.tannerssportcenter.com/products.html

Target masters in Chadds Ford. http://www.targetmaster.com/

Kings shooters supply in King of Prussia. http://www.betterbullets.com/

Stay away from Claytons hunting and fishing in near Willow Grove

I prefer Kings and Tanners, both have friendly staff and the best prices.
