    Zak's Guns (Madera - Central Valley) great store

    I happened to stumble onto the best gun shop that I have dealt with as far as price in the central valley. Zak's guns at 1906 Howard Road in Madera, (559) 673-1010

    I was planning on buying a glock in Fresno because of the prices that PRK Arms and Full Spectrum had listed before I walked into the gun shop. The owner was very friendly I was able to do a 1 on 1 and discuss the differences in the guns that he had in stock. The owner really knew what he was talking about there was no high pressure and it was a great experience.

    I ended up buying a Glock 19 9mm for a price lower than either PRK Arms or Full Spectrum had listed.

    If you don't mind my asking...how much did you pay for your glock 19, before fees and taxes?

      Did they get their FFL back? Last I heard they'd gotten it yanked a few years back for some "issues."

        They have had their FFL back for about a year and a half or so from what I hear. From what I read it was more of a political issue what happened. There was a issue from what I have heard about a license application admission or not. Former Madera Police Chief had them raided for issues, then a short time later the former police chief retired and got involved in a local gun shop.

          $535 out the door, is what I paid. I was at full spectrum Tuesday and they wanted $525 for the gun before taxes and registration fees. Great deal I thought and 1 on 1 with the owner so I was able to fully play with a Glock 17 and a Glock 19 in a comfortable setting.

            $535 including tax and fees is a great price. Were their other pistols priced well, or just glocks?

              Now I understand that this document does paint Iggy and Allison as the good guys ... but it does set out pretty clearly some of the issues leading to Zak's losing their FFL. Felon in possession, etc. I don't know how it all settled out in the end, but this is about the stage things were at the last time I paid attention.

              Maybe I'll have to check the store out, though.

                    Issa is not the FFL because he can't be. It's in his son's name. This is how those that can't have FFL's anymore keep going. Funny how a Federal Felon is allowed to own a private security company that is allowed to carry firearms. Something does not pan out. But to be fair, the police chief at the time had a sister that ran the only other gun store in Madera. That also smells. No locals will ever get the real story.

                      Really.
                      I was in Madera last week. Found the place, went in. No guns. None that I could see.
                      Lady asks if I need help. I wanted to get a price on a specific pistol. Oh, she says your here for a gun.
                      A nice enough guy says hang on a sec. He'll check.
                      I get the price, he says should be available. Ok thanks.
                      And I leave.
                      Is this a gun store?
                      Really?
                      While I'm leaving I look at the sign, look at the building. I don't think it says gun store. I could be wrong.
