In socal on business, where are the good shops?!

[lawboy]

Hi, all. I am in Ventura for another day and will be flying out of LAX tomorrow night. I have a rental car with GPS system and a HUGE desire to locate a good S&W K frame magnum while I am here -- 13, 65, 19, 66 ... doesn't matter. I am looking for a 2.5- or 3-inch gun. Anyone have a suggestion and contact info. for a shop I could drive to and check out while I am here? I've already checked in on Shooter's Paradise in Oxnard. Nice place but they've got nada for used revolvers. HELP!

You could try Gretas Guns in Simi Valley. They are on the expensive side but have a good selection. (805) 520-GUNS

It's a long drive from where your are, but Gunrunners (626-358-7711) in Duarte, CA is good sized, has a great selection & good bunch o' guys inside to help.

Southern California is a big place. Nothing I could tell you about would be a help to you at this point.

Ask again if you're south of LA.

Try Martin B Rettings in Culver City.

I visit LA about once a year and stop by these two shops:

Stockade (website is down right now)
http://www.fowler-stockade.com/
8061 Westminster Blvd, Westminster, CA 92683
714 894-0584

and

http://www.bolsagunsmithing.com/index.html

Both are nice shops but the Stockade would probably be more likely to have a used S&W in stock.

Have fun!
