I've said it before and I'll keep saying it, but I love the guys at Premier. I'm not in there much as of late, but never had a bad experience. I've never dealt much with Bryce in particular, but he's always been pleasant and said hello to me when I'm there. I'll spend every penny of my money there before Ft. Liberty or C&C Midwest get it.
They might be great guys.
But someone is spreading fear and lies to line there wallet. And that is wrong. The radio station and the person/persons from Premier responsible for this ad are fear peddling skum IMHO. Good people work for bad people or bad companies all the time.
Hmmm it seems strange that some guys have problems at Premier Arms. I have been going there for years and never had an issue. I have always got very good deals. It sounds like most peoples problems are from trade in's or selling. Keep in mind that when you trade in a gun at any shop you will take a loss. Not sure why so many people don't get that. Premier Arms is the only shop in the near area. That allows them a little wiggle room in their deals. If someone doesn't like the deal go find a better one. Also worth mentioning is one of their main interests is the estate purchases and high end stuff that never go out on the sales floor. And believe you me they are VERY successful in that field.
As for their radio add I can't say. I have not heard of WIBC since I was about 12 years old in the 70's.
I happen to like Premier Arms. I do not go there for everything but for many things they are my first stop. I also like Bryce (and the other guys too) and consider Bryce as one of my best friends.

It is with the trade in value and line of crap they put out in the dealing. I had some good experiences with them until things started getting scary and they changed for the worse. They offered me a ridiculous trade in on a deal. Said some rude things about my gun and were a bit arrogant. I rolled down to PSS, same gun in Bobs case, same gun to trade, got 2 times the trade value and the new gun was $50.00 cheaper on top of that.
I have done more than enough dealing to know you will not get near what you paid for a gun on trade. Same with a car/bike etc. It is the overall attitude. The person that took me in there the first time has been dealing with Bryce forever and he is getting fed up with him as well.
Spend your money where you wish on what you wish. Not my concern. Just stating personal experiences. I have no issues at any other LGS (well, Dons but hey....) I frequent.
I think EVERYONE would agree thats Don's does not count, for your list of bad LGS. EVERYONE has a problem with Don's. If they don't give it time and they will.....
YupAgreed.
I popped in there today. Was just browsing & saying hey to buddy Jim, the race industry guy. Jim has some seriously good machinist skills. I know he works on local LEO weapons but I'm not sure if it's through the shop or on the side. He makes a lot of various products from target stands for Pincus to brake lines for Indy car. If you need something done right he's your guy.
