Between gun shop owners foisting Glocks on me claiming "This is my safety (while pointing to their trigger finger)" and the occasional borderline racist comments, you aren't missing out on much.

Gun shops come in all types. Some are real professional

(ex police-type shop clerk: What are you looking for?
[me]: .45ACP hollowpoints with a preference for maximum terminal ballistics
[him] hands me 185gr Corbon +P JHPs (from what i researched later, seemed like a pretty lethal round with 500 ft/lbs of energy)

Some are really..."archaic"

(Owner: You know the Philippines are only good for mail order brides)

You get all types.
