Northshore Firearms Middleton, MA

So, I have been there before and liked the place. But today I was treated like a child by the elder Mike. The shop was empty except for me and my friend. At first Mike was nice. I asked to see a MP5 knock off that was in the case and was promptly shown. After a few minutes I asked about an M&P which is what I really went there for anyway. I was shown and elder Mike even field stripped it for me when I asked him to. But, it was not the caliber that I wanted. He said that he would be getting more so I figured that I would put that off for now. So, I asked to see a Browning Hi Power that he had and he got pissed. He asked me if I was serious about buying. I was caught off guard by the way he asked. I did not know what to say, was I supposed to commit to buying something? I mean, I had intended on getting the M&P but it was not the right cal. I could tell that he did not want to show me anything else so I started to leave and he said to come back when I was serious. I am a serious buyer, but that’s not the point. If I am going to buy something, I am going to look at as much as I want BEFORE I make my choice. I really want a Browning Hi Power and I may have even bought the one he had since I was going to wait on the M&P until he had my caliber. But, if after looking at 2 guns he is going to give an attitude, FORGET IT. I WONT be going back, and that is too bad because I like the younger Mike. I could see if the shop was busy, but it was just me and my friend and I only looked at 2 pieces. WOW! In the almost 10 years that I have been buying firearms, I have never been treated like that. Even at Four Seasons where it is busy all the time. I suggest that if you want to go there, talk to the younger Mike, he will let you examine the merchandise without getting pissy. But, if you dont want to have to deal with worrying about who to talk to, DONT GO THERE. I wont be anymore.
