Not to mention, Bradis has always been there to help me with my questions. That's why when I go to assembly my upcoming AR-15, I'm going to go with the guys @ Bradis.
I'll give you that and when it was time to buy some accessories for my AR, I went directly to Bradis, and spoke to Mark and he and I spoke, and I specifically asked for his opinions/recommendations which he provided (being careful to tell me that they were his opinions-- to which I said, I know and that is why I asked ) and made my purchase there. I got deals comparable to online prices, and assistance with real world advice.
They absolutely both have their strengths. Not just has Bradis been more of a help but they're more personable as well - I somehow have a face rememberable enough to be called "The Shield Guy" every time I come in.
Honest to goodness, I wish I could get the same service I used to get with Bob @ PSS. I miss going in there - good hours, and closer than Bradis to my work
Agree, they definitely both have their strengths, and each has some folks that are more knowledgeable than others working there, and you just need to know who to talk to, etc.
The great thing is that we have several good shops in the area to choose from.
