I was traveling through middle Tennessee on I-24 and stopped for gas at Exit 24. Next to the gas station, I saw a little place with a sign, "Farragut Sales, Sporting Goods and Knives". I just had to check this out. I walked in and the first thing I noticed is that this guy really likes knives. They filled most of the store. I saw the gun counter at the back of the store about the time the owner came out from the back.
We met and chatted. I asked him if he had some handgun ammo I was looking for. He did. And right there on the glass was a display of CCI Stinger .22 ammo. I hadn't seen Stingers in ages, so I got a box of them. He said that he likes to keep uncommon chamberings in stock, and I could see stacked on the shelves behind him there were boxes of European calibers, uncommon American calibers, etc.
He said that he had "all the old ones, too - .44-40, .38-40..." and recited several more. We had a long chat about the shooting sports, then I left. I was really impressed with that shop. Here is a guy who is catering to all shooters, not just the 5.56 and 9mm crowd. If you are driving in that area, it is worth a stop. On my receipt, his phone number is 571-330-1830.
THR rocks.
