Southwest Guns and Gear, at 12759 Poway Road, on the second floor, opened at the beginning of June and has been enjoying good business ever since.
“It’s been good,” said Chris Ewell, who owns and operates the store with his wife, Holli.
“The community seems to be delighted that there’s another gun shop in Poway.” Southwest Guns and Gear offers a wide variety of guns, ammunition, accessories and more, including gun safes and bags.
“We’re one of three gun shops in Poway, and I hope to be the one offering the best service,” said Ewell. “I’m trying to take the intimidation factor out of visiting a gun shop.” Ewell said he has been “passionately involved” with guns and ammunition for most of his life, and wanted to help other get into firearms. Ewell said he’s checked out his competition in Poway and found them to be good businesses with great products. “I’ve got nothing but nice things to say about them,” he said. “We’re an alternate source where someone can sit down and talk about their needs, and we will work hard to meet those needs.”
Part is his inspiration for opening the store was his passion for firearms. Another part was his love for the American Dream, he said. “I’m very patriotic, I love our right to bear arms and defend our selves and our families,” said Ewell. “And I’m passionate about helping others do the same in a safe way and within legal guidelines.” Ewell said that one of his shop’s unique aspects was its
comfortable atmosphere. “It’s a comfortable environment where you can get personal service,” he said.
Southwest Guns and Gear also stocks .22LR ammunition, which can be difficult to find, he said. Some of the major brands of firearms and ammunition he carries are Glock, Smith and Wesson, Springfield Armory, Sig-Sauer, Winchester, Henry and Ruger.
Southwest Guns and Gear also sells knives, lights, gun cases and bags, said Ewell. The store is also planning on expanding its inventory of accessories, as well as quality used firearms in the future.
Southwest Guns and Gear is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Tuesday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. It is closed Sunday and Monday.
