I haven't found a place. There's of course Tenacious in Spring if you are shopping for an airgun he carries, but its his home and not really a "shop".
I've got a real love/hate thing going on with online shopping. On one hand I appreciate the accessibility it offers, but on the other, I like to put hands on an item I'm considering before peeling off those bills. I'm currently looking to buy a second hand M3, but I want to buy from a local seller so that I can view what I'm getting. The two I have found both sold before I was ready so now that I have the cash in hand, they're gone. This has prompted me to shift gears and possibly make the drive over to Alamo Airguns in San Antonio for a Krait, and that's probably what I'll ultimately do. My budget is in the used M3 territory, or with a slight stretch the new Krait territory and putting my hands on a Krait before buying is worth making that stretch.
Edited to add: I really went off on a rambling tangent there, didn't I?

Thank you very much for the reply and I enjoy tangents and a bit of rambling, I tend to do the same when someone asks questions. it’s good to know the options available in the area, there doesn’t seem to be many at all. I go to San Antonio fairly regularly so I’ll keep that place in mind and swing through on my next trip. Really suprised there are not more air gun store options, even the gun guys generally started with an air rifle in the backyard I know I did. Seems air guns are almost an afterthought even though most people learned the fundamentals on an air gun. They are also a whole lot more places you can shoot an air gun like the back yard or basement if you have suitable places for that. I quite the firearm guy and I’ve just about forgotten about air guns until I just moved to a place where I have a backyard much more suitable for an air gun than a 22lr or 22short. I still have a range a few miles down the road but it sure is nice to sit in the back yard and just plink or go rabbit hunting in the backyard or neighborhood on a golf cart and I can’t do that with a 22 lr where I’m at.

I’d really like an sig asp20 in 22 cal, but I know they are discontinued so I know I will be waiting a minute for one to pop up in the used market. I’d like to pick up an HW-30 in .177 for my significant other but am having no luck finding one of those either
seems I just like things that are hard to find. Was going to pick up a crossman 2240 and put a steel breach and longer barrel and stock as a stopgap for now.Upvote 0
