Default El Paso Area Gun Shops

All,

Am in El Paso for a while. Any good Luger haunts in the area?

Looked him up in the phone book and dialed away. No answer.

And so it goes. He musta found out I was in the area and started screening calls...and he doesn't do navy guns..but I am after a cart counter, so mebbe he got a little transference paranoia.

Tom,
I am not in the El Paso phone directory since I have moved to Santa Teresa, NM! After this posting I will send you a PM with my phone number. I only have one Navy, but it is a good'un, and I might have one or two other pieces that are worth looking at. At any rate, it would be a crying shame if you are in El Paso and we don't get together.

P.S. El Paso is really the pits for Lugers, but I have found a few gems over the years.
