They still have some locations around the country, but they totally cleared out of MN, and quite a few other states, I believe. Their prices were pretty decent. I bought a gun from them, and get a little wistful when I drive by their empty space.

They tried to expand a little too fast. They had 4 stores in Arizona, closed one. I go to the one in Mesa a lot, although I do more browsing than buying. Prices much better than Bass Pro and better than Cabelas. Also, unlike Bass Pro, folks behind the counter seem to know which end the bullets come out of.

There are two GM stores in northern MN. One in Duluth and one in Brainerd. They both are quite high on guns, about $100 over other stores. In fact, my M&P9 was right at $90 cheaper at Fleet Farm, which was right across the street! They told me that their price included a three year warranty. When I asked "if S&W has a lifetime warranty, why do I need to pay more for their three year deal", they had no answer.
I eventually purchased my M&P9 at a LGS for even less. GM did however stop handling reloading supplies, for which I'm grateful. Their self proclaimed reloading expert stated to my son that when reloading handgun rounds, you just pretty much fill the case to the top with powder, and don' really have to measure!!! Seriously!!!

GM just opened a store here in south GA about 2 months ago. I walked in the other day with high expectations and walked out with some bore mops.

A few years back I got a fifty dollar gift certificate for Gander Mountain and my pal told me I might be able to buy a pair of Jersey gloves with it.

I haven't noticed their high prices in years, not once since they quit selling reloading supplies.
After they ran all the small stores out of business they started catering to the rich kids that wore camo clothes and filled the store up for their money. I'd rather talk about politics.

Haven't been to mine in years.The prices were over the top.
You can bust on Gander Mountain all you want but I still got the best gun deal of a lifetime there. My Registered Magnum was purchased at a GM for $279.99 + tax !!!!!!

Gander has nice clothes and boots but their firearms and archery stuff are generally overpriced. As Ihump said, Fleet Farm has much better ammo prices. I got their last box of 5.56 yesterday...
I keep waiting for ours to close it's doors their prices on gun supplies, ammo and guns are really high. They won't even deal on their used gun prices and they are ridiculous. I can get anything I want at several LGS in my area so I am fine if they don't survive. I prefer to support the local gun store owners anyway instead of a large franchise.
