Me and a friend took a trip out of town to go to Bass Pro Shop near Sevierville,TN the other day. I had called to see if they had any Sig P220 SAO pistols and they said that they did. When we got there, We found the two SAO sigs in the case. We had to wait for 15 minutes to get some help , which is about normal. The gentleman that helped us was very nice. He displayed the Sig P220 Carry SAO. Me and my friend had came to Bass Pro to try out the trigger on the SAO since we had never got a chance to see a SAO Sig before. Every pistol in the case had the red plastic trigger locks on them. I asked the gentleman behind the counter if he would remove the trigger lock so we could test the trigger. To my suprise , the gentleman told me "NO". I asked him why and he advised me that it is the store's policy to keep the trigger locks in place til the customer buys the pistol. This doesnt make sense to me at all. I handed the gentleman back the pistol and told him that there was no need in me looking at the pistol then. He told me that he was sorry and that the policy costs him a lot of sales. I told him that it wasnt his fault , but it more than likely just cost him another sale.
I was a bit frustrated and bummed out. We had drove all the way there to look at some pistols , and then we couldnt even evaluate the trigger !!!
It being policy or not, I think it is stupid and a poor business practice. If it is a matter of safety, then why would they put fully functioning shotguns and rifles out on the floor with thise security cords attached to them?
Is this policy nationwide at all Bass Pro Shops ?
