I'm looking for a specific gun and I'm having troubles finding it here. I went to the gun show @ the GBCC today but I was out of luck. Specifically, I'm looking for this one:

Beretta U22 Neos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

But it comes in different lengths ( 8.8, 10.3, and 11.8 ). I love the design and the price. It's relatively affordable ( about 250 ). I'll have to find a local dealer because I want to sell/trade my current gun. At the gun show, they only had the 11.8. He just said that's all he had.. I'm a little overly particular with the length here because I just think it's a little too big and it's not handy enough.
I haven't had any luck so far. Does anybody know where I could go to? I think some gun ranges sell ( and possibly also buy ) guns. So I guess I could check those out too. Already been e-mailing some shops..
Maybe somebody knows.
Thanks!

Call Tomball Pawn, and Independence Firearms. Maybe a drive, but they are both known for outstanding selection and prices.

Sell your current gun on your own, trading in a gun is worse than trading in a car, you'll get hammered. What are you looking to sell?

Also, Ive never seen a deal at a range that also sells guns. Think of it like a convenience store for guns.

You can try gunbroker.com, but one of the best online dealers is bud's gun shop.

As far as what you're trying to sell, try Texas Gun Trader. There's a ridiculous markup on most everything I see on there. I can usually buy new for less than what people sell their stuff for on there.

When buying something like that gun, I bet after shipping and transfer fees you will be better off buying from a local store like Tomball that has strong pricing.

Why am I hearing about Tomball Pawn when I'm getting ready to move away???

I just saw your post "Good 'ole Tomball Pawn" on ARF. Other sites look like they pretty much back that up. I guess I'll have to make the drive up there one of these days if I get the chance.

That place is a landmark for Houston gun owners. The shop isnt very big, but he somehow fits an amazing inventory in there. He prices very aggressively. He simply chooses to sell more at a lower markup than anybody else, save for maybe Independence. They are an hour away from me, 1.5+ from you.

Id make a day of it, see both.

Hey there guys,
I'm just about to move over there to Houston. I'm an avid shooter in SEPSA and just getting started with some 3 gun practicing. What type of ranges are located near Houston? Are there any reputable and reasonable reloading component stores there? I'm thinking about moving to either the Spring area or the Katy area, I haven't decided which yet. In early January the wife and I are heading over there to look at some houses and neighborhoods (but I would love to stop by and check out the ranges). Thanks for any information you may have! including range fees if any.
