SAD:
-Higher end products like Marui, Prometheus, Classic Army as well as low-end springers.
-Outrageous prices
-Unknowledgeable staff (althought the boss seems to be putting forth an effort to learn)

JT
-Low-end products from SRC and Infinity "Tactical".
-Decent prices
-Very knowledgealbe staff!
-Owned and operatoed by airsofters (guys that PLAY the GAME!)
-The ONLY shop in town that I would give my AEG to for repairs.  Well, not my SAW, but if I had an SRC I'd let them go at it.

Doesn't JT sell CA and some TM stuff?


Some, but their market is in the Mid-end equipment (faster churn for their stock). To be fair, they are making inroads into the higher end stuff - according to Knowledgable sources, the plan is to move into limited stock of higher end (CA, Mauri, etc) in the near future. This would be VERY welcome :)

Ask anyone experienced in Retail Management (of which I can say I'm glad I no longer have to claim :) ) and they'll tell you the simple fact that if you want to keep your doors open you have to cycle stock through the pipeline. And it's easier to sell low- to mid-level stock quickly enough to maintain profits than to buy a Piper 134a minigun or a $700-1,200 SAW and have it sit on a shelf because few can afford one. Now, I would love to see JT have a "special-order" function or a few higher-end airsofts or accessories.....

Yeah like put (insert percentage here) down on a special-order item, have JT bring it in, pay the remainder, and take er home.

Save us working folk a lot of time and hassle having to track the damn shipment and stuff.

Ron told me, they want to sell only src in the near future. Now, if the guns turn out well (I've not even fired it, but they sound like they're awesome) then that'd be a decent thing to do.

Once upon a time I could comment on the quality of the SRC guns..................
But now that I work there Maybe I shouldn't. Anyone is welcome to try out my SRC if they want to, Hell, as long as I know you(and know I can trust that it will come home :) ) you can borrow it for a weekend game.

I am a tried and true JT customer, and one for life.  I came into the sport through JT and Have had nothing but good experiances and learned alot from Ron, Jerimiah(God I hope I spelled that right) and Nate.  Ron takes the time to tell you the Real Deal on weapons and what will work for you based on what you want to do with them.  He wont sell you something just to sell it to you, he will make sure that you are getting what you want and can build on.

i've only had good experiences with JT.  They never pressured me to buy anything (and yet I spend so much there) they seem to know what they're talking about, and always take the time to answer all of your questions, and most importantly, take the time to show you how to use and care for your guns.
