| - Dear Yelp: I need a 10-star review option, stat!
The only reason Healy is getting 5 stars is because there's no way to give them 10. If you're into firearms, let me save you the trouble and say there's no reason for you to go anywhere else.
With my CCW safely in hand and having recently shot several handguns to test them out, I was on a mission to find and buy The One. You know, The One that -- no matter how many guns you shoot -- you always go back to the rental counter and say, "Um, I'd like to try That One again."
For me, The One that fit perfectly in my hand, felt like an extension of my arm, and put the rounds where I intended them to go was the Springfield Armory XDm 9mm. I'd received gun shop recommendations from others but I didn't get quite a good vibe on them. So, once again the Yelp app saved the day and I found Healy in Mesa.
I grew up in the south, so of course I shot guns occasionally as a kid...but let's face it, it had been a while. A LONG while. Being basically new to all this, you run into "those guys" at the gun shops...and shooting ranges...and gun shows. They tend to be full of guys who can spot a newbie from 100 yards and totally ignore her even faster.
Not so at Healy. Once you walk in the store, the left and right walls hold rifles and the middle appears to hold ammo, cleaning supplies, and other accessories. The pistol cabinet is in the rear of the store. I looked there for the XDm but didn't see one right away; Rick behind the counter looked on the computer and, lo and behold -- they had one in the back! After disappearing for a minute he came back through the door with the XDm box in hand.
He did not mind my endless newbie questions one bit. He spent time showing me everything in the box, explained what all the pieces were for, and even showed me how to dismantle it for cleaning. I was also interested in a biometric safe which he showed me as well.
The price of the XDm was in line with what I'd seen online. The cleaning kit cost was very nominal, not to mention it'll last you a while. The ammo price was AMAZING. I cannot BELIEVE what I've been paying for it at gun ranges!!!
Again, if you're into guns, either experienced or newbie, please take my advice and visit Healy. The guys who work there can easily talk shop with you if you're a seasoned gun-toter (I heard them do it!) and they also are just as respectful and engaging with total newbs. I am SO GLAD I found Healy to buy my first gun, and highly recommend them for your Second Amendment needs! Ask for Rick -- he's awesome! Mark was very nice also!
Bonus:
They're open on Saturdays!
