I think today was trip number 4 in past two months, and it's definitely the first time on the weekend that I've ever been in and it was pretty busy in there. Despite every behind the counter speaking with customers and what looked like each person helping more than one person or group of persons, I still got the same level of customer service that I have every other time I've been in.
+1 for Pinto's and for Thor. He always helps me with my reloading hardware questions and even finds good stuff in the used gear for me.

Good to hear. Know someone related to the owners. Told them I heard the name before, but didn't remember if was good or bad. I'll let them know.

Thor is a member of these forums. Diana probably grew up in her (mom's?) family's gun shop in Tukwila when she wasn't hanging out at Renton Fish and Game - or so I hear. I enjoy going in there but always feel remorse that the riflesmith who owned that shop for years is gone. I've dropped a few hundred in there more than once since they opened. :>)

I love this shop and always look forward to their weekly gun list email. Still kicking myself over passing on a S&W 27-2 3.5" for $750. It didn't last long; hard to find barrel length.
I am not aware of any shop in W WA that has as many quality older guns as Pinto's and they are priced to sell.

Thor gave me all sorts of good info on powder types when I first started reloading last year. Great place!

Another +1 great shop run by great people. Dianna has been a part of the local shooting community her entire life and is the most honest stand up shop I've done business with. Makes you realize that there are still some businesses out there that aren't trying to milk every once of profit out of their customers.

Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk I have never seen a "WTF?" price in Pinto's. There and FWDG are about the only two stores I can say that about.

Specifically a trickler. Thor says, "I don't have anything new but I have a couple used ones here...oh this one is $2 and doesn't work. This one is $5 and works. It has a weighted base." I thought for sure that I'd be spending $20-$30. That has to be the best $5 I've never spent.
