i work at wal-mart in the sporting goods dept.. store 1192.. no the guns aren't low quality.. wal mart buys them cheaper than the dealer can b/c they buy in bulk.. they sell them AT COST.. the theory behind this is.. women are 70% of the business.. if wal mart can sell the guns at a very low price, the husband can buy them AT WAL MART.. if the husband can find a good deal on the guns, then the woman stays happy with wal mart and KEEPS SHOPPING.. there u go.. a myth is busted..
