    Default Gunshops in and Around CPT...

    Hi!

    So i'll be heading down to CPT in the near future and was wondering if any of the locals can point me in the direction of gunshops with good service.

    As much as i hate not having my FA on me i can see one or two potential situations where i might need to store it safely because having it on me will be impractical and even if the place we stay has a safe i can't trust that i'll have the only key to it.

    If one or two options come through before i head down i might not need to do this since i'll have a plan of keeping it on me always, but if all else fails i would prefer a legal backup plan...

    Thanx for the time!

    Just on Location: VGK is in Parow, not Helderberg

    S&O is closer to Stbosch than northern suburbs

    While we are at it (SAS bashing), you spelled Parow wrong.

    Wonder if Johann at Kraaifontein Shooting Academy will store it (if it is not a Glock of course)?

    Then he can shoot a few rounds, store his firearm and have a beer; at the same place.

    There is also Cape Guns and Ammo in Bellville (Northern suburbs).

    Recommendations according to service levels will be False Bay Shooting Academy, City Guns, Wildman and S&O.

    Digging a old topic up but seems we will be in the Milnerton area, from what i understand about CPT it's Northern Suburbs... Does that change any of the recommendations?

    Most of the places mentioned seems to be within reasonable travel distance, i might even consider the False Bay Gun Clu since the day's this is most likely to be a issue i'll be in the false bay area.

    As far as i understand the place has a safe but i don't trust that i'll have the only key, i'll rather cover my ass from all angles and book it into a gun shop that way if the unthinkable happens and it goes missing or something i'm 100% with in the LAW, think i'll even take my FA lock with me and that way i can lock it through the barrel as well, i know i'm the only one with keys for that lock.

    Luckily no matter where you stay in our province. Everything is close.
    Valies travel mos toe moer and gone to get to any place. Everything is 50km away. Even the shop on the corner.

    There is also a shop in Paarden eiland. Just forgot name know.
    Ronden Arms is also in Ottery region. And shooting range Taurus Indoor in Parow. Hugo van Zyl sport is in Paarl. If your looking for older stuff and a lot of it. Hugo van Zyl sport will dazzle your mind.

    Milnerton area is a long, arduous drive from False Bay (by Cape Town standards anyway) so the Gun Club will only be of help to you when you're in the False Bay area.

    Closest gun shop to Milnerton would be AJ Running guns in Paarden Island.

    After that, the following are all equally close/convenient: City Guns or Rosenthals (both in the city) and Parow Arms or VGK (both in Parow). If you're based "at the back" of Milnerton (ie further from the sea) you might find Parow Arms or VGK more convenient than City Guns or Rosenthals

    Milnerton is on the Atlantic seaboard, the northern suburbs (Tygerberg, Bellville, Durbanville, Brackenfell) are the suburbs in the north east of Cape Town :)

    Closest store is probably AJ Runnings, a new shop that opened up in Paarden Island, best sport shooting store in Cape Town IMHO. I've gotten very good service from them just beware their Saturday opening times is dependent on how busy they are and if there is a club or league shoot so phone ahead to double check.
