Business yesterday took me down to Fall River and I had some time to kill before finishing business and heading back my way, so thanks to redsoxdoc for the pointer to Richie's Sporting Supply in Westport, MA.
Location is what appears to be a barn built into a 1st class gun shop with his house behind it. Long and large driveway/parking area was full with a number of cars (including mine) on the roadway. This reminded me so much of my buddy's former shop (LEO) in his garage (back in the late 1970s), even down to the "regulars" who hang out there! Richie is a real nice guy, very welcoming, low key operation that probably does phenomenal volume! LOTS of very interesting long and short guns. A nice touch was the Johnny-on-the-spot beside the shop entrance.
It was also obvious that he caters to a LE crowd as well as the shooter and hunter. Richie and his "geriatric ward" (as he called them ) have the right political attitude too! We MUST all stick together on ALL the shooting sports and not fractionalize!
Saw a Kel-Tec .380 for LE only at $292.
If I lived near this place, I could see myself being a fixture in his shop!! Real nice guy and I highly recommend that anyone finding themselves in this area stop by. The guys/gals who live near this shop are VERY LUCKY to have such a shop in their area!!
