  • Whilst in Texas, I took the opportunity to visit one of the most famous gun stores in the world - Gordy & Sons.
    Firstly, I was wrong - it's not just a gun store - it's a proper outfitters, with anything you could need for more or less any trip around the world.
    Secondly - this could be the best gun room in the world!

    Couple of important notes:
    1 - Gordys were happy for me to go in gloveless, as all of these guns are sold as users!
    2 - the store stocks a great array of oil and cloths for sale that were tested on these guns after filming!

      even tho you're gloveless, it bothers me you pickup the rifles by the barrel and not the forend of the stock.
      equivalent of dropping the hammer on an unchambered round - won't do anything, it's just courtesy.

      @@douglasherron7534 The same happens when shopping for fine watches. The staff always handle the watches with gloves and let me greasy mitts go bare. I do try to keep my hands clean, and off where I could leave prints. That said it does feel odd sometimes.

    This is my local shop. The inventory is amazing but what really sets them apart is the customer service. They are the most welcoming and friendly outfitter I’ve ever dealt with. Other places act like they’re doing you a favor to get a gun off the rack. These guys will fill the counter with everything that matches your parameters so you can handle them back to back, answer all of your questions in detail, and they’re happy to do it. They’ve got a life-long customer.

      Politicians understand that VICTIMLESS felony convictions that permanently abolish "the people's gun rights are key to trickery, in abolishing all guns and ammunition!
      Eternally removing gun rights from honorable citizens for victimless crimes (Without vehicle accidents or even incidents) while conveniently allowing these same newly created felons to retain their "voting rights" based on victimless crimes, (No injured parties). Government wisdom says, retained voting rights for prohibited gun voters would persuade all newly created "prohibited gun voters" to vote to ban and disarm the entire nation for absolute 2nd amendment abolishment...
      Make no mistake these newly created felons (Moms and Dads) with retained voting rights for victimless crimes are coming after your guns and ammunition, and will win! Read my Lips! (For Equality!)

      I live here in Houston and have a gun that my grandfather bought used in high school in the 60's. He gave it to me 30 years ago and now I want to give it to my son for his 18th birthday. It still shoots but it needs a complete rebuild. I will be hitting them up. Thanks for your input on this business.

    Only gun shop I’ve ever walked in and been asked if I’d like any refreshments.
    When I went a few years ago I was looking for shooting glasses and didn’t even know what I was walking into other than that they came up with a Google search as one of the stores that carried shooting glasses.I was blown away by their store even the exterior is very stately looking.
    As I was takin a walk around the store I saw that they had original Henry and Winchester lever action rifles just sitting out on the floor in gun racks for you to pick up. when you check the tag, 20k-60k. “Yeah, just gonna gingerly put that back in the rack”.
    They have great customer service, and even let my girlfriend and I into the gun vault to look around.

    When they were talking about the problems run into by drying wood stocks in salt . Reminds me of a book I read by a guy whose family had been stock makers since 1700s . He said they had a warehouse full of wood . Every generation replaced what they used for their grandchildren to use . The wood they made their gunstocks from had been drying for two generations

    This is brilliant, that bit at 11:24 reminds me of the FT Lauderdale boat show. All the European manufacturers were very hesitant to let me look at the boats.
    However, the Hatteras salesmen were all from the south and it was all smiles from them a lot of “come on in man, have a beer, take all the pictures you want” some day when I can afford my own boat, they’ll be the first manufacturer I call!

    As a young man, my Father asked me to look around for a Parker, LC Smith, Remington, and a Winchester model 21. Among all my shooting buddies, only one produced an LC Smith. It was badly beaten so I did not acquire it. Decades later, I learned that it could be restored by my Father's gunsmiths friend. Unfortunately, the owner passed away and no one knows the whereabouts of the gun. Another great video Sir !
