I had occasion to visit a GM store in a nearby city and I had to talk a clerk [middle-aged, not a kid] through the differences between 22LR, 22Short; target and hi-velocity, before he could even look for the cartridges I wanted (22's are not stocked on the floor). And this was before they hired the holiday drones.

While there I looked at the used handguns and was surprised to see they still had Walther P1's at $499. That has got to be the best deal going.
I love stores with an uneducated staff. Where else would you find a nazi contract Astra 300 for the price of a Kel-Tec .380, or a police marked P.38 for the price of a run-of-the-mill military variation? I have picked up a lot of good stuff in stores like that.
