Nice staff, but as with most places, the used guns are too overpriced. Maybe they are sold on commission and price determined by seller, but why would I buy a used gun for $50-100 less than a new one? I quit shopping for used guns because of this. Decent selection. $30 FFL fee not too bad, but most stores charge $25. read more

Listen ya'll I'm not in the business of guns, but I got one at a whole gun store to take the conceal carry class with my husband and I did that! WELL ANYWAYS I couldn't get over how uncomfortable I was with this pistol so I'm like I'm gonna sell this bad boy I just don't want it, so I went to these guys today! COMPLETELY SWEET, and very professional! HOWEVER I was SO NERVOUS I was shaking like a leaf when I sold that puppy! got it entirely the legal way didn't feel no type of way but when I signed that paper to sell it my soul left my body! I was just panicking! it low key felt criminal and I KNOW it was perfectly legal we did the paperwork my licenses the whole 9 I'm just not in the business of guns so I was totally FREAKING! I'm 100% sure these guys noticed but at no point were they weird towards me or judgemental they were great! plus the price was decent! now I don't have to stress about carrying that thing and I can focus on my bow, and they get to make some money its a win win! read more

Tim and staff are extremely knowledgeable. Most are ex or current law enforcement. They have the best selection in town for firearms of all types. The pricing is competitive and in some instances better than larger stores. I was given an amazing trade deal on my new pistol. Being a female shooter, I've been treated kindly and with respect by every member of the staff. read more

Found what I was looking for but I did pay too much for it. Felt like an outsider even when ringing up. If looking for fair prices maybe look elsewhere. read more

Great staff. Very knowledgeable. Good prices. Best pawn/gun store around. I have purchased several items from them and I have never been disappointed. read more

Recently bought something that needed paperwork and the guy filling out stuff was acting weird. Don't know of it was because of me or what but it made me less likely to go back. Good selection and seems decently priced for today's market on the other hand read more

I have been a regular at American Tactical for years. Those guys are the most knowledgeable team in Shelby as far as I'm concerned. They are always willing to help make your experience a good one. Great selection of new and used firearms as well as Microtech knives. Tim is always willing to order items that they don't normally stock and Bill and Adam are always ready to help if you have technical questions. When you buy something from these guys, you can count on there support after the sale. I cant think of one bad thing to say about this group of guys. read more

I typically enjoy shopping local pawn shops looking for deals, be warned you won't find them here. Ridiculously high prices on new firearms, not to mention anything else in the building. Attempting to get help is akin to pulling teeth from a pissed off bull, and forget about asking questions. Many people told me this place had a bad rep and unfortunately I experienced it first hand. read more
