I sure am glad that this guy let me know that I didn't know what I was doing. Since I'm so clueless I almost spent my hard earned money there.

If you want to shop here just make sure that this guy knows you're and expert. Or be certain that you enjoy being treated like an idiot.

I moved to Joplin 3 years ago and have been to every local gun store within 60 miles and Brandon's is the best- Brandon and Kelly always help me above and beyond what I expect, always have funny stories, and are straight shooters- never pushing a sale based on price, but what best suits me as the customer. If you enjoy witty and sarcastic jokes and have a sense of humor, no pushy or snobby salesman, and can get a cup of coffee and talk shop...go to Brandon's. Sometimes you wanna go, where everybody knows your name... FYI: just bought 22LR cheaper than Academy.

For the last 20 years or longer I would buy a brick of 22 a month from Brandon's but 22 ammo as of the last couple years has been getting sparse. So I was searching online to find out if it was possible today at least in Joplin to find a case of it to put back. I shoot a lot of varmints and would rather just have a large supply. One of the hits I got was the guys comment below about Brandon's Gun Trading Co being “Gougers and Ripoffs”. I just want to say as of late Brandon's supply of 22 is lower than I have seen in years but unless you’re buying the match grade 22, his regular stuff has never cost me or any of my friends any more than 2 bucks a box and isn't that what it should cost? I have seen them sell a brick for 20 bucks but they usually restrict that to people buying a gun. I was told when the supply flow starts running that people will be able to buy what they want again. But anyway I have bought 32 guns in the last 20 years and have purchased them all at Brandon's but one. I got that one from Academy when they had that Taurus 9mm for $299.00 and just couldn't pass it up. But now I have to tell on myself, if I had waited for about a month I could have bought it new from Kelly at Brandon's for $288.00. Patience Grasshopper...

Would never do business with place again. Brandon will talk down to you like you are an idiot. If you go to buy .22 ammo from him bring your first born because his ammo is gold!

I have been shopping at Brandons for about 15 years. Always a good experience. Always friendly and helpful. Prices can't be beat. And they can order it if they dont have it in stock. I'm going in again today to buy another gun from them.

Can't say enough about the wonderful, friendly, knowledgeable service you receive from Brandon and his employees. Hands down the best place to purchase a firearm, and they always give honest, unbiased advice.
