Turners Sale

[HeyZeus]

Turners is just having a hard time getting inventory just like most everyone else. Obama is a great gun sales man.

I think they're getting ready to close the business. The store in Chino Hills is also empty of inventory. They've permentently shut down their fine gun room and gotten rid of all reloading gear. The pistol shelves were 75% empty. Everything else has been left unorganized and as the inventory dwindles, it's not replaced. I asked about a Remington 700, a fairly common rifle model in .223. They had nothing in any of the stores in CA and had no plans for ordering. I think they're getting ready to close shop. Odd given the recent "surge" in gun purchases.

That recent 'surge' in gun purchases is what's stripped their inventory, their warehouse, the entire distribution chain of nearly all things semi-auto. They aren't going out of business.

/and they have a new sale ad every week. ALWAYS have, for 20yrs+

Idiots. That recent 'surge' in gun purchases is what's stripped their inventory, their warehouse, the entire distribution chain of nearly all things semi-auto. They aren't going out of business.

Yeap, I check their circular on their website every week to see if anything piques my interest. Usually not though, prices aren't the greatest. Really, saving $20 on an $800 rifle isn't much of a sale.

Yet, I still check it every week

[RedDawn]

I do too, on the off chance there is something worth buying.

[What Just Happened?]

Yup. That's how I found out they had RIA 1911's in stock.

Stopped by Turners Pasadena after my Utah CCW class in San Dimas. They had two glocks, 21 and 27. Picked up the last 27 in store that day.

They have good sales now and then. The current deals are the Sig 226st and the Sig P220 carry SAO. The Christmas before last they had a great deal on the Sig Pros.

Some signs of life

Turners San Marcos was cleaned out by Christmas. Only a few X-frame S&W revolvers didn't sell. The rifles have been about 2/3 restocked, but still no handguns.

[pullnshoot25]

I was just at Turners Pasadena... EMPTY..

3 "Tatical" style guns in 1 case
6-7 "1911" style guns in the other
8 or so revolvers
2-3 in the .22 case

And expensive ammo and their computer crashed so i had to go elsewhere to do the PPT on my new Springfield 1911

JOe

Same here for the Turners in SM. Word has it from an employee there that more guns have been sold chainwide in the last 3 months than in the last 20 years. Guns are literally sprouting wings and FLYING off the shelves!

[Axewound]

i was just at the turners in San Marcos today. the place was dead.

they had nothing i needed or wanted. it seems that particular location is also letting go employees. always less and less everytime i go there

Inventory at other shops

I was in Martin B Redding in Culver City and their inventory was stocked to brim (picked up a new Nighthawk Custom .45!). If Turner's isn't going out of business, why is their inventory so low? Redding's got cleaned out too with the 'surge' but quickly restocked. Why should it be different with Turners unless they're planning to close?

Watch what you say, you me called an "Idiot" by people on here for thinking that.

[LDBennett]

I seriously doubt Turner is closing.

What your are seeing is the "OBAMA INFLUENCE" on things "gun". Every retailer, wholesaler, and garage gun shop just can't get anything gun related from wholesalers, manufacturers and suppliers. We, the gun folks, are buying up everything in anticipation of the DEM controlled Congress and OBAMA passing laws that will limit all gun sales, ammo sales, and reloading component sales. Having an anti-gunner for a US Attorney General is not very settling to gun owners either.

What might happen is the gun stores could get hurt, eventually, when they have nothing to sell but they have been making a killing up to now. As this crazy rush on gun stores has continued, the prices have drastically risen at some gun stores so it will be some time before the gun businesses are going to get hurt even without merchandise to sell.

I order 10,000 primers from a wholesaler and wanted Winchester (although that mattered little as virtually none were available in any brand) and some parts of the order are on a 6 month back order. Take a look at any reloading supplies dealer in the USA and you will see everything is on back order (the Midway web page is a prime example).

Its a seller's market. If you have any gun that you have been wanting to sell then NOW is the time to get maximum dollar for it.

It all stinks for those of us that have been buying guns and gun products all along! Oh well. But I guess we can easily blame the idiots that voted for the DEM's and OBAMA! We got CHANGE alright, for the worst. Wait till the pork ladden OBAMA Stimulus Bill doesn't work and America starts to fail economically. You may need those guns just to get food.

The only thing they're "closing" are additional work hours for their employees. Just look at the rate of lay offs here in the USA (plus Japan laid off tons of Panasonic employees recently).

They'll still be around...unless Calgunners keep bashing them as usual.

[Gunaria]

Don't you all just love this love/hate relationship with Turners.
