I own a web design company so I am up on the latest internet trends, blogs, research etc... I visited a local indoor shooting range in Brea, Ca. and loved it so much I decided to purchase a hand gun. After feeling it in my hand and after several days of research I decided on the Springfield XD subcompact 9mm. Now where to buy? I visited my local Orange County gun stores over the last few days......... I noticed that many ""Chain Stores"" try to push you toward certain brands instead of what you came in looking for. When I went to Ade's the sales guy was just a regular joe and gave me the time of day and answered all my questions. It wasn't the most impressive looking store or the largest but were experienced staff and the best prices I came across, I decided to take my safety test and buy from them. My 9mm was $50 cheaper then everyone else and still cheaper then online since I don't have to pay for shipping. I am also looking into a rifle and a shotgun and were surprised at their prices! I have been shopping around so I know what my local guys are selling things for with a sale tag on them. I would recommend ade's to anyone. \r

Pros: small business, and good prices.
Cons: probably not the biggest selection
