I am in the process of obtaining my pistol permit for new york, one of the steps is buying a handgun in order to get the permit. I had my eyes set on a cz 75 bd or the cz 75 shadow T. Having delt with this gun in the past i knew it was the one for me, along with owning other cz products. I went into the store asking if Pat (the owner) could get a hold of this gun for me. He immediatly questioned why i wanted the gun. He said Glocks and kimbers are much better and i should get one of those. If i had to compare this guy to someone he would be the BILLY FUCILLO of the gun industry. He didnt want me to leave the store without buying something "" what do i have to do to make you walk out of here with a gun today, name me a price"" I didnt even want the guns he was showing me but he still persisted. After about an hour of looking at other guns i said ""Okay, if you cant get your hands on this cz ill take a sig p226 (it was another gun i was considering)"" but of course it wasnt in so he would let me know when it came in. a couple months went by and i got a call in the mail saying ""hey its T&V i wanted to let you know the sig came in the mail if you want to come down we can talk prices"" . I told him i already purchased a gun somewhere else because he took way to long to get back to me.
In the end, i did not like my experiance at the store, i was berated with questions as to why i didnt want a more popular gun that i DIDNT like. And i didnt feel like a priority after getting a phone call a couple months later.
