Trader's Gun Store

YOU WON"T BELIEVE THIS!!!
I found this place a couple years back just driving down Wade Hampton, a few accessoties, a holster, some ammunition (a few hundred worth) is all I ever got there until one day I saw a hand gun I wanted. The gun was $900.00 so it took me a few months to set that aside. I was ready, excited and on my way! I pull up exactly at 5:53PM on a Thursday evening, the operating hours indidicate open till 6:00PM
NOT TODAY!!! There was a girl inside the shop holding the door shut and would not let me in, 7 minutes till closing time is what my schedule allowed... I'm there with cash, rady to purchase that desired gun that has been on my mind for months and the girl tells me "we're closed". I was able to see customers still shopping, the parking lot was full... BAD FOR BIZ!!! This guy will never step foot, consider nor recommend this shop to anyone, ever! In fact, if I can help it, I'll tell my frinds and family about everyone else in the industry.
Traders... YOU GUYS ARE A JOKE... You've lost another customer for life! AND THE WAY YOU PRACTICE BUSINESS...BE ASHAMED!!!

I work for the government in a town close by. Did some trading with one of the employee and every thing went fine. On my way home I get a call from the owner and He says I sold him a broken gun. I told him the gun was in working order before and after you and your employee inspected it. I returned to the store and when I got there my weapon was disassembled and they said they it was beyond repairer. I asked to see the employee I dealt with and he said he had gone to lunch.... at 4pm? I would be back!

I am a novice. I needed a handgun for my 23 year old beautiful daughter who was going to Columbia on Saturday for her second part of her CWP class. We had trained on my S&W 22 but had found out during the Tuesday class that she would have to have a bigger caliber for the shooting part of the class. I had been in Traders a couple of times before and was impressed that the guys who spoke to me, knew I was only looking and had lots of questions, nevertheless, they spent time with me answering simple curiosities. It was Wednesday and I went to Traders with the intent to buy a good pistol, that would be easy for my daughter to handle and sufficient for the class. I met Steve. We looked at a dozen or more guns. Different calibers, sizes, length of barrels, and prices. A while later, I owned a new 9mm. The owners provided a discounted holster, a free bottle of lubricant, an armful of targets. What followed was the best of my experience. I learned that the informative and gentle salesman, was a former Seal, a hero that served our country and spent years protecting me and my family. I had been served and taught and helped by a man that deserved to be served. He was a gentleman, a professional, who seemed to care only about me, a stranger who needed to buy a gun for his daughter. He had every reason to be cocky and short with me, after all, I am a "Novice" ( who now loves Traders)! PS, my daughter got her CWP, and she thinks I'm wonderful!

After doing my research, I went there to look at a NATO 5.56 rifle. A dark haired girl came over to help and wanted to argue with me that a .223 and 5.56 NATO round are the exact same round while in fact they are NOT. .223 is civilian varmint round which the other is based off of but the NATO round operates at a higher pressure and has a different projectile length. Chambering one in a weapon rated for .223 can be dangerous as the leade is different and can cause the NATO round to have more difficulty exiting the chamber which allows the pressure to build even higher than NATO design. This is a potentially dangerous situation and she just totally blew it off, didn't want to even consider that she was wrong, just wanted to argue about it, something that could get someone hurt!
