    Default French Creek Outfitters in P-ville

    What have your experiences been like there?

    They seem to have astronomical firearms prices, and a rudimentary range that isn't always the best controlled one that I've ever seen.

    Anybody ever get a decent deal there?

    Personally, I'll never pay the prices they're asking ever again, I can find better deals elswhere. I Bought my first pistol there, and that was only because at the time I was new to the area and didn't know any other shops. If I had it to do over again I wouldn't have purchased it from them.

    I'll shoot at the range, and do a transfer there if it is convenient for both parties, but otherwise I don't even bother to go in.

    I liked it better when it was at the old Route 10 site.

    They had better prices then too and more convenient.

    a couple of nice guys there(Stan the firearms manager) but gun prices are a little too pricey on some stuff and ok on others. I don't shoot there so I have no input on that.

    I shoot there sometimes after work in the winter when it is dark or too cold to go to the free outdoor public range off rt23. I never saw a safety issue there, guess it is a combination of who is shooting and who is running the range at the time though. Gun prices are a bit high, but their customer service is top notch and very knowledgable from what I have experianced.

    I shoot there somewhat regularly (twice a month or so) and use it mostly for that. I may be purchasing a PT145 pistol there soon, and the price on that isnt absurd ($350).

    Main reason I like it is that I can shoot subguns there.

    I don't think their prices are high, their revolvers & autos are well priced for this area. Any specifics on a high price? Everyone always says a place has bad prices, I wish someone would tell me the magical place that they are getting great prices at.

    When I was in the market for my first pistol a friend told me to go to Cabelas in Hamburg, PA. He said they will give you the best price. So I drove all the way up there and bought the gun I wanted. Turns out that FCO had the same model for the exact same price.

    Next time I'll call Cabelas and get a price quote first. I'm not knocking Cabelas though. I had a blast just walking around the store.
