    Texas Gun Shop

    Mate is in Texas , for the pistol crowd and the old banned semi crowd , check these pics out and prices , was a range there as well , you could shoot just about anything , the rocket launcher on the left was apparently $3600 for a shot.Name:  417271f8-bfc4-4315-9894-e9952a57db23.jpeg

    Keltec , they can't even give them away

    Yes we pay about double what you see them for in the states, goes for just about anything. Exchange rate, freight and the mark up of course.

    I don't think I'd go so far as to want that here. I've sat around the firepit having a happy hour on a 11 acre block in Texas when the neighbors been having a yipee.
    And although you know they're not coming your way, you do hear the whine from the odd ricochet. Takes that nice fuzzy edge off the beer.

    660 US for a Glock is roughly 1300 here so fairly comparable

    No 100mm/ 4" min barrel length there



    Interesting to see, thanks for putting this up
