What a beautiful shop selling beautiful flawless firearms! Let me just say AJ was phenomenal at valuing his customers. Most name brand gun stores that you go to, the employees/salesman will not be knowledgeable and not know what the customer wants but rather get them into a gun just to close a sale, that wasn't AJ. AJ was well versed in many of the weapons I was asking him about not only in terms of stock reliability but also with aftermarket reliability because let's face it everyone likes to spec out their own pistol/rifle to make it suit their specific needs. I asked AJ about thinking to getting a red dot and gave him a price of $250 and he went out of his way NOT to sell me a Trijicon SRO at $700 retail but offered other brands that were even CHEAPER then what I was willing to spend which in my book lets me know he's looking out for his customers no matter what their price range is!! The gun I bought was the Taurus TX-22 Competition SCR model and was informed by AJ this is the best "Most Reliable" 22lr pistol on the market. I decided to take his word and what do you know, 384 rounds straight out of the box and only 4 failure to feeds! Now what's odd about these mags that I've NEVER encountered with any other pistol is when loaded PROPERLY they sit in the mag at a criss cross. The best way I can explain it is think of the in between of double stacked mags and single stacked mags and that's what the Taurus TX-22 Competition SCR is. The failure to feeds were do to me incorrectly loading the mags as these (after researching at the range) need to be loaded one at a time but dropping the mag feeder down and letting go springing the round back to the top. After this was shortly figured out it was smooth sailing from there! The target on the left was my first 1st target with the gun straight out of the box with 2 mags at 25 yards using iron sights. 2nd target on the right with 1 mag (3rd mag total from the brand new gun) at 25 yards! Overall super happy with my purchase, and super stoked to find a gun shop that actually cares for the gun community. Even though I live in Surprise this is a VERY much worth while drive for the good prices, good conversations and good firearms! read more

What a great small business! Acosta Guns & Gear is the 'go to' spot if you are looking for personal attention, excellent firearms selections, and outstanding customer service with a welcoming vibe. I was seeking help in selecting a different pistol for my daily carry, looking for a 9mm with more rounds per mag, vs my compact .380. The owner, AJ, took time to analyze my arthritic trigger finger limitations and explained why the trigger pressure on my current 9mm was a challenge. They have a great pistol display table where you can handle, side by side, a variety of pistol options to compare. I purchased the perfect solution for my needs, a 9mm S & W, small enough for daily carry, and a trigger that functions perfectly for my joint issue. Total weight was a priority for me, as many of my athletic pants have built-in holsters with maximum weight limitations. AJ even weighed my selection with a loaded mag to assure compliance with their standard weight recommendations. I couldn't be happier with the overall experience. I highly recommend Acosta Guns, and will return for all my future firearms needs! read more

An amazing thing about living in Phoenix is there's no shortage of good places to purchase firearms. After my first visit to Acosta Guns & Gear, I knew this was the place I wanted to work with for all my future gear. The owner AJ and his wife are both veterans, they have an experienced staff, extensive inventory of firearms, and everyone is very welcoming. AJ was very patient in explaining the differences between a wide variety of weapons along with offering great tribal knowledge. AJ is extremely knowledgeable in weapons, ammunition, and optics. I have made many purchases since my first visit, every time AJ has thrown something in extra from a flashlight mounted to my AR-15 to rifle slings, holsters and carrying cases. This is a great small family-owned business, I hope you come in and have a great experience. read more

They had the exact pistol I was looking for, then I saw one of the same manufacturer I didn't even know was out. Ended up buying the newer releases model. Quick painless great deal. The firearm began to exhibit issues that were well beyond warranty qualifying but was NOT their fault. However after talking to the manufacturer the manufacturer reached out and offered a dealer credit if they returned the firearm and this way they were able to offer an exchange! Something I've never had a dealer do for me. I paid a little extra out of pocket for my original choice, HOWEVER, their response and efficiency in taking care of me was above and beyond expectations. I would highly recommend anyone go here if you're looking to buy a firearm and want to be taken care of! read more

I stopped by Acosta Guns & Gear a couple of weeks ago and was very impressed. The layout of the store was excellent, and they had a great stock of quality brands. AJ Santiago and his wife, Dara, were kind, welcoming, and professional. After visiting several other gun stores, I can honestly say this is the place I plan to come back to when I purchase my next firearm. Some places you walk into and immediately feel welcomed -- this is definitely one of them. They are a veteran-owned business and deserve nothing but respect. Highly recommend. read more

I had a great experience here. The owner came in on a day where the store was closed to help me. He also honored a discount from the manufacture's website so I wouldn't have to wait for shipping by ordering it online from them. I've already told several of my friends about this place and I look forward to going back and giving them my business. read more
