Brad, I'm not familiar with Metroplex gun shops, but if you take I-35 back to Kansas, you might check out Lone Star Shooting Supply in Gainesville, not far from the Oklahoma border. Address is 312 N Commerce St, Gainesville, Texas 76240, Phone 940 665-2289. It is about 4 blocks off I-35, so pretty easy on and off the highway.
I don't have any affiliation with the shop, but when I lived in North Texas, I bought a couple of nice S&W's there.

McClelland's, on Centerville Rd., near Garland city limits.
Haven't been there in awhile, but I think they're still there. One of the better shops around here, where there are surprisingly few good gun stores.
Ray's will have a lot of stock, but prices used to be high and the store was rude. I quit going there long ago. They lied to me about having a holster in stock and tried to get me to buy something else after I made a long drive there.
Elephants and customers have long memories.
I've heard they're better now.
For better guns, esp. high end collector stuff, it's Jackson Armory, near the SMU campus in University Park. Snider Plaza. They're in the phone book. There are restaurants in the plaza, too. Kuby's has good lunches if you like German sausage for a main course. The store area also sells good chocolate, inc. Lindt & Sprungli's orange-filed bars.
I really urge you to visit Jackson's. You'll be awfully sorry if you don't. And beat feet over to the Beretta Gallery in nearby Highland Park, at Mockingbird Lane and Preston Rd. It is one of five such stores in the world. The others are in Milan, Paris, NYC, and Buenos Aires.
I suggest that you dress like an Old School guy who went to prep school and a prestigious university. I wear khaki Dockers, Timberland casual shoes and Izod shirts for such rounds. I fit right in. Keep in mind that you will be in a city very like Beverly Hills, and Highland Park was laid out by the same architect. Drive around and look at the houses/palaces. You'll be impressed. Turtle Creek is also a scenic little river there. Your wife (if any) will like the stores in both Snider Plaza and in Highland Park Village, which is, BTW, the oldest suburban shopping center in the USA. It has been renovated over the years, of course.
This is the best that Dallas has to offer. Post if you go there. I think you'll find that area well worth a visit.

Jackson Armory has very nice stuff. The prices are high, but they have very nice guns - you can check their website. Wide selection too.
If you are at Jackson Armory , be sure to make an appointment at Willougby McCabe and Company just across the street for some of the neatest high grade long guns in Texas{appointment only} Patrick , the owner ,is a nice guy to do business with. Target Masters in Garland is also a good shop. I found the people at Ray's Hardware to be both helpful and friendly whenever I've stopped. I get to Dallas 3 or 4 times a year and always try to make the rounds of those shops. In Fort Worth , I like the Winchester Gallery and of course both of the Cabelas shops both in Ft. Worth and up close to Frisco on the East side.
I'm here with my wife and kids so I'll see what I can squeeze in!
