    I was in there buying ammo a few days after the shop was broken into. Never said a thing. I hope he is doing well.

    That German Shepard is huge. Eats good im sure.

    Gator, I heard that Iggy actually sleeps in an old banana hammock.

    And his back yard has exotic plants & a jungle theme (So he can squat in the bush ...)

      I was in there last year talking to Frank when the phone rang. His wife answered it and then called out, "Frank, Mythbusters on line 1."

      Turns out he is one of their main firearms consultants.
      My friends and family disavow all knowledge of my existence, let alone my opinions.

          Yep, he was just talking about their latest gig when I was in there DROSing a nice 870 yesterday.

          Frank is a great, and classy guy, and I really enjoy browsing his shop on a Saturday morning before lunch and hearing his stories. His prices, on long guns especially, are very reasonable.

            Frank carries all the small stuff a lot of other shops don't - stainless chamber brushes, the good pro-shot 1000pack patches, grip screws and all the springs you need and so forth. Anytime I need something to take care of the guns he's got it, and when you need to know how to do something he's always nice and tries to explain it. Mrs. T. is non-nonsense on getting PPTs and sales done, no farting around - always a pleasure dealing with her.

              A couple of times I've needed some simple machining work done, figured I'd have to drop it off. In the middle of shooting the breeze he'd leave, came back in about 5 minutes & say "here you go". Helped me out with a few tech problems also.

              And there's a Brazilian restaurant 2 doors down - you'll OD on all you can eat beef & steak & pork for about $20.00.

                Frank "aka" I.M NOBODY. Thats his Cowboy alias name when hes Cowboy Action Shooting. He caters alot to the C.A.S shooters. You can tell by the large supply of western style guns in his shop. Havent visited his shop in a long time since moving to the central valley but im glad to hear hes still doing good. God I miss going to TOTOS pizzaria. They make one hellava good pie. Zorbas pizza down the El Camino is another good spot...

                  It's worth pointing out too, that both Frank and I.M. are southpaws -- which means for like-handed folks (such as myself) there is not a better gunshop in 300 miles for finding in-stock left-handed holsters. Frank keeps a great selection in rotation.

                      And to think I went to the last Cow Palace gun show looking to buy a left handed inside the pants holster for my Glock 30. I should have just stopped by at Tabors. Didnt even think about that. I will hit him next time after next gun show...

                            Saw that too and almost jumped on the used one. Damned good price. Also saw an intern in there from Mythbusters picking up some gun stuff.

                              I shamelessly went into Toto's garbage dump bin and unearth their secret pizza/pasta sauce- i retrieved the sauce can with full label marking- will be up for auction shortly

                                Ask Frank (I.M Nobody) if he remembers the time he dropped a round at the loading table and it went off when the primer hit a rock on the ground. (Stampede match at Primm, Nevada). A few people had to change their drawers after that.
