I don't know if they'd have those or not, but I like P&D in Edmonton.

P&D is the only place left worth spending your money in Edmonton. I can't say exactly what they have in stock for bullets, but they have the widest selection in the city so they's be your best bet. Cabela's does have some selection of bullets, but I don't like to spend money there on principle since they won't even order in a set of scope rings if you need them...if it ain't on the shelf....
Life's too short to support that kind of crap service

P&D does stock speer bullets.

Prophet River would be another option if you are ok with waiting for shipping. They usually ship the same day if the item is in stock.

Another vote for P&D. They carry the best selection I've seen in Edmonton and as long as you are willing to put money down will usually order anything in as long as they have a supplier. Don't see why they wouldn't also be open to shipping supplies to you.

Funny, my wife stopped letting me go into P&D alone....she always has to be with me now or most of the time..(when I come to the city for 1 day midweek meetings for work and she is home because the kids have school)..hahaha. Something like buying 4 Guns one year, a couple the next , a lot of reloading supplies, another rifle or 2 the year afther that.. maybe a pistol somewhere in the mix as well. So then order over phone with CC on file there

Since my wife shoots too, she will want to go with me and spend our money at P and D. She loves her toys.

Tier One Armoury.

Not the biggest store but certainly the friendliest in town. They are very knowledgeable.

P&D is probably the best in the city, but I hate the location so much, I have to be desperate to shop there.

Could be worse...I work about two blocks away from P&D...too many times I've whipped over on a coffee or lunch break just to see if they have anything new...I always end up buying something

I agree P&D is fair but you can only imagine what they have to add to thier charges for Insuirance due to what has happened to the demographics of thier opperating area in the past quarter century... I've seen items sold there they dropped me down to 200 for sold for 475 on list next week.

Even with that i consider it better than having to go anywhere near a mall location (wild west) with a firearm that needs work on it due to our current mainsteam media and political situation... this is sad because the gunsmith Karl that they employ is awesome!

That said.. Its well worth the drive to see some good ol' boys, very close to Edmonton.
This guy was working with ducks unlimited and fish and game back when I could barely shoulder a .22...
Would work with us to pen raise ring neck pheasants.

Hi Foonus,
Hi all,

I applied mid 2016 for a Gunsmith job at, I guess, all gun shops in Edmonton, but only wild west hired me. Seems P&D and all other don稚 need a German gunsmith with a 3 ス years apprenticeship, nearly 20 years experience with all kinds of firearms (military and aircraft, hunting, sport, collector ones etc.) with additional a Master Craftsman Gunsmith education ( = engineer level). And by the way, I was quality engineer in high precision area in Germany too, but not for Volkswagen/Diesel
And good news: My machines, a lathe and a mill are on the way now. They was sooooo long in backorder.

edit:
thx for the praise

I think P&D is the best in the city for it's selection, customer service and expertise.

But, I've also had great experiences at Tier 1 and Wild West, especially if you're looking for more tactical and competition (3 gun, service rifle, IPSC) based gear.

Phoenix is ok too, but they're too far from my house to get to very often.

I try to avoid Cabela's since they have (mostly) terrible staff, and I'd rather support a local business.
