Alpha-Omega?
« on: March 12, 2009, 02:09:38 PM »
So for the first time in my life, I went into "Alpha-Omega" gun shop in Nampa.   What is up with the sign on the door that says "No Glocks sold, fixed bought, traded, etc..." ? Did they have a run-in with Glock, or are they just that anti-Glock?
  Anyway, speaking of signs, they also had a pretty elaborate sign about not bringing ANY loaded or concealed guns inside. Oh well, their store, their rules.
  So this big lumberjack looking dude politely asks if he can help me. I said "do you carry any GG&G stuff?". His answer was "never heard of'em, what do they make?". I replied "AR parts, do you carry any aftermarket AR parts?", He says "Oh yeah, plenty of them" and walks me over to another part of the store.  I see shelves of knockoff Chinese and airsoft replica stuff. All their optics were Tac-Star, and that other fake repo stuff.  I told him thanks anyway and mentioned I was going to wander around for a bit to see if anything catches my eye.  After a few minutes, I noticed the guy literally following me around with the world's worst attempt at trying to be not noticed.  It didn't take me all of two minutes to determine this guy thought I was going to shop-lift the entire store.
   Please tell me I simply misunderstood the way my first visit went.

I don't normaly talk crap. But this is how they are. I went asking about the springfield XDM in 9mm, the guy you are referring to is the owner. Anyways he told me the springfield rep just left and they weren't going to make the xdm in 9mm. Kind of confused me until I picked up the new handguns magazine and say an ad in it for the XDM in 9mm. The owner thinks he knows all. He tried to tell me that my GLock 23 was gonna kaboom on me. He thinks that glock owners are a joke. He actually told me that. Other then the fact that he carries HSM 10mm ammo I would never set foot in that joke of a store again.

Oh and kind of funny I have a XDM in 9mm now. I have thought about taking it in there and showing him. Lol but it isn't worth my time.

Ok rant over.

I've bought a few pieces/parts through them and they know me by sight now, and they still follow me around.  The Grizzly Adams you met is the owner.  They do that with pretty much everybody.  I'm sure they've had their share of stuff walk off on 'em and with a couple lower receivers hanging by a zip tie, I'm guessing there could be a real liability issue there.  They can be a bit rough at times, but when I need a $5 part and the only option is to pay $10 shipping and wait 2-3 weeks, I'll put up with their quirks, and high prices.  It's a good to have place if you really, really need it now.

Yeah they always follow Romo and I. We figured it was because we're young.

Went in just after the election and the owner was talking about on the coming ban on ammo which was going to be an executive order.

Interesting guy... I've got nothing against them. But they do make you feel distrusted. He did mention he'd been shot a few times last time I was by there.

I will not go in that store ever again.  The following me around is bull shit and the NO LOADED GUN sign even applies for concealed carry.  I also get a little tired of spec-op warriors stories.

I used to go in there quite a bit and even bought a few guns from Alpha-Omega.  The guy or one of the staff will always follow you around the store.  Kind of weird, but okay...then I was in there about 2 months ago, and there was another customer looking at a rifle on the wall- long story short, the owner came flying out to the lobby yelling at the guy claiming he bumped the gun.  I could not believe how rude the owner was and how beligerant he was after the customer apologized several times.  I personally was turned off and have not been back since.  There are lots of gun stores in the valley with better service, and I can buy parts online for less $.  IMO

I used to stop in there cause it is super close to my house and even bought my Beretta 90 two from them they were about $150 overpriced but I thought I would give a small local guy a shot at my business and Sportsmans was outta stock (damn money was BURNING in my wallet) Long story short BIG mistake have not been in since then.  Like you said bunch Chinese garbage rip off shit which I am not totally against when outfitting SKS's and crap but I don't do over priced!!

Yeah, followed around. I was wondering about that. It seems normal for the store, so I'll just get used to it.

They do seem to be the only ones to have much milsurp stuff available, but maybe I'm the only one here that looks at old Mausers and such. Oh, and cases of ammo as well.

And prices are a tad high for some things but like was mentioned, shipping ...

Their store in on the way to my work so I have stopped in there a few times. I haven't noticed anyone following me around, but maybe I don't look like a criminal like you all do  ;). They are a bit quirky and often overpriced, but it's hard for me to drive by so many guns every time I'm going to and from work and not stop every once and a while to check them out.

Ive been in there a few times just to check things out. He is right there on you. I went in there a couple of years ago, and was asking about HK91's. He had a Cetme and PTR(Hk Clones). He promptly told me that HK was crap and if I wanted a real gun to get a PTR. Ive found that if he doesnt sell it, its crap, but he has something to replace it.

I saw the owner threaten to mop the floor with a dude at a gun show once, but in his defense the guy was excessively fingering an brand new XD 9.
Other then that their prices seem a little too high for me. I'm not paying $600 for a WASR, I don't care what camo scheme you paint it.

The guy is a little different, maybe, but he always treated me OK.  I've bought some stripped LAR lower receivers from him as he usually had them in stock for a reasonable price up until recently.  Plus some other odds and ends.  No need to harass him.  If you don't like the place, don't go in.  If he doesn't treat his customers right, the marketplace will take care of it.  He doesn't seem to lack customers, though.

As far as the surveillance goes, guess what? It is the same everywhere.  The only difference is other places you are on Candid Camera.  At least at Alpha Omega the surveillance is the old fashioned kind.

I agree. I've been in there many times. Was always treated well. Yes, I was followed in the other room when looking at mags and stuff.  But as they got to know me a little, it lightened up. Heck, alot of stores ,EVERYTHING is behind glass or a counter and you cant touch it period.
Im not sure what the anti-Glock thing is about, but it wasnt like that a couple years ago. My guess is it was business thing that went sour.

Anyway,  we must have better battles to fight than hassling gun shop owners, eh?

Let the record reflect in no way did I promote or encourage a blood-letting mob mentality in regards to Alpha-Omega when I originally started this thread.  I simply had a less-than-good encounter there, and was wondering if I was the only recepient of aforementioned treatment.  (Along with the anti-Glock question.) I fully understand gun shops are like car dealers---some people swear BY the same dealers other swear AT. 
Someone said it best "the marketplace will take care of that...". I am fully with Jeff on this. 
 I don't want anyone to think I am on a mission to try to ruin this guy's (or anyone else's) business.

Well I tried to give them a second chance and that was the last one I am giving. Just wanted to check out any new guns and extra AR parts and damn I felt like I had been on America's most wanted lol. They can now piss off and not have my business anymore. And yes this is me bitching about ALPHA-OMEGA. I have never been asked so many times in 5minutes if there is something I needed. Hell yes there is something I needed , it was to spend my hard earned money on something that might catch my eye. But nothing ever caught my eye other then the owner 2ft behind me. Guess that is as close to prison as I ever want to be ;D

as neby said we always get followed in there, if you don't think they follow you go to the left hand section of the store by the magazines and watch there will always be someone within sight of you. 

i refuse to buy anything there now because im tired of being followed and tired of looking at chinese crap.

funniest thing i ever saw in there were the davis .380's that he sells in either blue or red... hmmmm......

+1 for them, they have always been honest and treated me well.  I have even become friends with one of the guys, former small alarm company owner, and we always have a blast.  They know me now by name and still follow me around, just there way and I am okay with it...especially after Jeff told me how he "lost" a few items at the show.  Economy is bad and it gives people a reason to be dirt bags and steal I guess.  Sorry off topic, yeah little strange but they treat me well!

Good for you , glad someone was treated well there. The problem I have is when I am the only guy in the store and I have 2 or 3 of them following me around. Call me paranoid but I felt my ass pucker ;D His wife has always been nice too, I think her name is Roberta. He treats her like shit. The way I have heard him talk to her is not appreciated. I am not one to tell a guy how to talk to his wife, but in a business atmosphere its not called for.

Now KC shut your pie hole ;D :evilgrin: :stick:

I refuse to patronize a business that treats me as if I'm a trespasser!

There are other shops -- or online -- that one can purchase from.

Well I have to admit, I bought a WASR from them about three years ago at a gun show. The transaction was smooth, price was all right and the WASR works great, so left me with a good feeling about Alpha-Omega. Plus they'll give you a Bible! From the descriptions given here I think I was dealing with the owner, think his name was David.

Never been in their store and now not sure I ever want to.  :o

I think they changed their name to Apocalypse guns or something like that.

I had to pick up some primers at mgm the other day and decided to stop in with my buddy.  We were followed for bit, with one dude standing awkwardly close to me and ready to answer any question I had.  He quit after a while.  The employees were pretty nice to me. 

The one thing I didn't like was one of the guys complaining about nobody spending any money in his store.  It was funny the first time I heard him make a joke about charging people for looking; but I was there for 30-40 mins looking around and heard him complain about it every 5-10 mins.  Some things seem decently priced, but other stuff was definitely way over priced.  I also got the "know it all" attitude.  I'm not a firearms expert by any means, but I do know a thing or two and I hate it when some of these guys talk down to me like I'm an idiot.

I stopped by there the other day. they did watch me but I expected that. the guy was very helpful in showing me every little trinket for an AK they had. he was telling me about the price mark up. and said if you look around you'll see two of the same thing marked different prices. he said the mark up stay's the same and the price they pay goes up and down. there was some decently priced stuff in there. I did see some airsoft rails and such. and I did get a know it all attitude from one of the guys but I get that at most of the shops I walk into because I'm young .Overall I had a good experience.

I also saw this this morning...business that good?  With a personality like that, no wonder!  People just flood the joint for their zombie-dispatching supplies!  But don't you dare ask for a price over the phone, mister!  This is only 2011 and it's not like you can't find prices all over the internet at the drop of a hat.  Alpha Omega's prices are so good they're a secret!!!  :sarcoff:

I was talking to a friend the other day and the subject of local gun shops came up.
My friend said "what's that gun store in Nampa?, the Jesus One"...and I laughed...

He was refering to Aplha Omega...and YES, he did get followed around when he went in...
