The Journey of the Panda Goes West...I mean its only about a 120 miles away but its still West and it still involves travel. So, that is long distance enough for me. I mean going to McDonald's a few blocks away is a trek that may be treacherous but the reward of those succulent golden french fries is well worth the journey. But this article is not about the gift of French Fries from the McDonald's gods. Not this one anyways, maybe in the future. No, this is the story of a Panda going into Combat Sports Supply. A bit of backstory first... So long story short, this panda happened to come across a film deal. After filming for a week I took a break by going to this airsoft store that I never had the fortune of walking into. All I knew was that the owner seemed to be a cool cat and they had airsoft stuff. I met the owner at the Iberian Gates event last year in Idaho City and when I say met I mean, he stopped me to take a picture of me. I probably should have talked to him more. Anyways, I walk into the store and that familiar smell of new tactical gear and mint guns filled the air. Felt like coming home after a long vacation away. It just felt nice being in there. As I walked in I was greeted by none other than the awesome Justin Brown. He had that friendly grin that you couldn't help but warm up to. A super down to earth guy that is in this industry for the community and the growth. He couldn't care less about the money, so you know right off the bat that we were going to be great friends. Combat Sports SupplyNot going to lie, I spent about 3 hours in that shop. Browsing through his awesome selection as well as just chatting and meeting the local Boise players who would walk in. Justin greeted all of them the same and treated them less like a money bearing statistic and more of a person. He helped out a young man that was searching for a P90 mag and Justin gave him all the options with the pros and cons of each. Not just trying to make him buy the most expensive mag on the floor. That really impressed me. As you can already see I am a huge fan of the customer service that Justin set the bar for in his store. Yet, customer service can only go so far in the airsoft world. You would have to have quality gear at quality prices as well. Does Combat Sport Supply do this? Well... yeah... They have all the quality gun replicas you can ask for. He literally has access to anything you would need and he could get it at a competitive price as well. They have G&G, Ares, Classic Army, Tippmann, WE, Elite Force, UTG, Echo 1, KWA and many others in stock in shop. From electric AEGs to Gas Blowback replics to HPA, CSS has everything you would need in a replica. Keep in mind there is also an online website that you can order from at combatsportsupply.com, where there are literally hundreds of guns to choose from. So be sure to check that out! In addition to guns CSS also carries all sorts of gear. Like literally whatever you need and more. They even have some of the more rare Plate Carriers and camos that most major retailers don't stock. They have the made for airsoft gear as well as more professional companies that the real men and women that serve this country use. They even sell real steel plates that stop actual bullets. They also sell medical equipment, survival gear, camping gear, food, etc. Seriously, Combat Sport Supply has everything. Be sure if you are in the Boise area to come and check these guys out, say hi with Justin and make yourself a new friend in the airsoft community! I know I will be working with Justin in the future for events in Idaho as well as getting some harder to find gear and equipment. For example, next month I will be getting some kit that will be able to VANQUISH all those that come before me. You all will find out more as soon as I get it. Anyways be sure to check out their website and their actual store. Get some good deals and make even better friends!
