contains the following handguns for sale. There is 1 revolver and multiple pistols.

Happy shopping, shootists.

By the way, Academy hasn't put out any sales circulars in about 2 months, that's why I have
not posted any handguns from them.

My GM has a sign on the door that says circular ads will not be honored, that only the GOOB discounts posted inside the store apply, and discounts cannot be stacked. They also are no longer giving veteran discounts.

(once they get to 30% or better, then their prices will be comparable to Cabela's :) )

Please translate that into every day English, I can't be the only one to not understand...

Thanks!

Sound like to me that oohrah's store is on the chopping block, and will not honor the national sales discounts. I also believe the GOOB should be BOGO,(buy one get one) but I could be mistaken about that. I agree they will have to drop prices significantly, to be competitive.

I agree, oorha's store is on the chopping block. GOOB (Going Out Of Business) stores only honor the discounts posted in the stores and in emails. The discounts are miniscule. Tha last I notice received for firearms and ammo was 5%. Their GOOB plan aligns with their regular marketing price points - which is why they're going out of business.

Looks like they will have a lot of inventory left to ship to their remaining stores. I'm not driving anywhere for only 5% off, their already way too high prices.

I don't know if they'll transfer firearms. I visited the Stafford location early on and the guy in the firearms department said they won't be transferring gun, stated they shipped out all they could, but he didn't elaborate. I don't know of any legal restriction that would prevent them from doing that and I know they ship used guns around when requested. It will be a long time before the discounts will approach normal sales prices at Academy and even Cabelas.

Thanks all for your help.

Academy circulars may be regional. I got one in my local paper today. Their ad is available on their website though and easily checked.

Thanks for the translations, guys.

If you find a GOOB GM, they do have some deep (up to 40% currently) discounts on clothing and other paraphernalia, but ammo and guns still only 5%, so not worth the trouble.

I received an email today from GM with notification of 10% off firearms and ammo as well as 30% of black powder guns and supplies.
