Market Trends: Smith & Wesson Shield Gaining Steam in Northwest
Robin Ball — Sharp Shooting Indoor Range and Gun Shop, Spokane, Wash.
The Glock 19 had always been undisputed number one seller at Sharp Shooting Indoor Range and Gun Shop. But this winter the Smith & Wesson Shield is in a virtual sales tie, owner Robin Ball said.
Available in 9mm or .40S&W, the Smith & Wesson Shield sells for $449 here.
Ruger handgun sales are strong, too, especially for the 22/45 Lite Target Pistol in .22 LR.
With a large percentage of the operation’s customers practicing concealed carry, the Galco line of gun holsters and accessories does very well here, too.
Ball also notes a steady and growing demand for Mossberg and Remington tactical shotgun models, mostly going to self-defense buyers.
