What shocks me is that Keths actually has a 3 star rating overall? What a joke. I'm not some Nancy boy that has sensitive feelings or needs my hand held over gun purchses either. I'm a former Special Forces Sniper and I have made a purchase at Keiths.\r
\r
.Keiths has the largest selection and Sells more firearms than anyplace within 800 miles.\r
\r
Keiths sells all new firearms at 5% over dealer cost and due to their volume they are ""master dealers"" with many manufacturers. If Keiths doesn't have what you want in stock they will open the order guide right in front of you showing you their cost and how many of such weapons the manufactuer has in their pipeline and how much it will be ship the weapon.\r

How do they stay in business?? That gets asked alot.\r

YOU KEEP GOING there....we can vote someone out of business......we vote with our wallets. Pay a touch more and go somewhere else, support local mom and pop gunshops or god forbid actually a place that has a GUNSMITH. Order off the internet., buy at gunshows. If you need a place that has alot of guns on the walls go to the GUNROOM in Portland.....and guess what they have gunsmithing, good prices, nice nice people. Keiths makes their money on used guns and ammo and accesories......they charge way more than most for similar items. And you won't get any trade in value there because no business can live off of 5% profit on merchandise across the board. Thats why all their other stuff is marked way up. And this isn't one of these deals ""someone should call the owner and let him know"" KEith himself works there in sales....he taught everyone how to treat customers like crap. Go in on a day when there are 5 salepeople standing around talking. Look at and handle guns for an hour......nobody will talk to you. About 4-5 years ago I went into KEiths with my daughter..about 4 at the time. I wanted a Colt AR15 to shoot at Camp Perry(NAtional Long Distance Rifle match) I grabbed it off of the shelf and went to the counter after an hour of looking. 4-5 months later I went to the Gunshow at the Expo.......for grins I went to the KEiths booth 12 times 5 minutes each......they were dead and I never got talked to. I made sure to look at Keith directly in the face each time to get a knod or greeting.........he was helping nowone and said nothing. I bought my rifle from him. I went back for lucky 13 trip to his table and just to mix it up I looked at him and said ""how you doin? I bought a rifle from you guys a few months back and know I need a new 1911""I was smiling and friendly and telling the truth........he just stared and me....no help not even a knod.\r
Take your business elsewhere....mom and pop gunshops are closing and I sure Keith and his staff read all these reviews and laugh as they sell 7000 firearms a year and kick people out 10 minutes prior to closing.
Pros: price/selection
Cons: no customer service/impolite
