We had the most wonderful service at this store, starting with Suzanne, who was incredibly helpful. Then we had fantastic help from the manager, Mitchel, who went above and beyond to help us out. Finally, the wonderful cashier who was very friendly and knowledgeable. Altogether a great experience! This is now our go-to store.

Invetory is getting pretty ridiculous. Nothing but glock 20 mags like who even really use a 10 that often. And ontop of that absolutely no 40 sw because it's "fading away" but you guys got abuncha 10mm? The 40sw is a shorter version of the 10. This store knows absolutely nothing. The autozone of gunshops no doubt.

This is their new store in the Spectrum Mall. They have a lot to see. Prices are on the high side. Lots of brand names. ADA compliant.

Love their selection of firearms, but the lack of staff on duty means no service. Only one at the pistol displays none at the rifle racks. Might return and purchase the weapon I want.
