Looking for a Wilson Dealer

Does anyone know of a dealer in the Houston area that deals in "Wilson Combat" firearms?

I know of a couple of gun shops that sell them but I'm looking more along the line of "gun show" prices.

Any help would be much appreciated :lol: :grin: :smile:

Thanks!

All Wilsons that I have seen in a dealers case have been "retail". We have a place up here called Cheaper Than Dirt. They used to be a Nighthawk Dealer but when I was in there the other day all the Nighthawks were gone and they had a case full of Wilson's.
The prices were full MSRP.

Yeah we have a shop here that has a case full of Wilsons, Les Baer's, Night Hawks and others but like yours they are all full retail.

They even have some that are used but in excellent condition yet still want almost retail prices for em... I want one bad but not that bad! :cool:

Have you tried to make an offer to Collectors on one of their Wilson models? I made what I felt was a resanable offer on a used scope that was on a used rifle and they priced is almost as high as the gun and scope together. But I have never had the money to "try" to buy a Wilson.

I was in Collector's on Wednesday and they had the pistol I wanted in "used but excellent condition". The sticker price was $1895 +tax and I asked whats the best price they could do on it......the response was $1775 +tax which comes to $1921.44.
My cousin put me in touch with someone in Centerville who could order me 1 and send it down to be transfered for a total of $1869.83 plus transfer fee. Thats a nice diff. for a "new" gun to be purchased $50+ cheaper.
I was hoping to find a small dealer in the area looking to give me a price like that or better :smile:

You might try Pruett’s Guns & Ammo. Last I was in there he stocked Wilson.

I've looked at the price on from Jim Pruett's place. He seems be to bit overpriced. Maybe it's just me.

You may be correct. I never looked at the prices since there was no way I could afford one. I would have just depressed me to look.

I asked for a price check from him and his prices were the same as Wilson's retail.
