Chris is a fabulous guy... funny, knowledgeable and one of the most honest, stand-up men I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. He would never do you wrong. It's just not in his nature. Even during the worst of the ammunition shortage, he was able to bring in enough product to keep people supplied, and now that things are improving, his selection and variety are looking great again.

Updated review: I…read morerecently returned to this shop with a friend who was interested in purchasing a firearm, and I'm happy to report that the experience was outstanding. Not only did they have the exact model she was looking for (coincidentally, the same one I wanted to purchase originally), but the staff was noticeably more professional and welcoming this time around. While my friend certainly turned a few heads--she's objectively very striking--what stood out more was the consistently courteous and knowledgeable service we both received. It felt genuine and customer-focused, which made the entire visit smooth and enjoyable. The staff was so helpful and relaxed that I ended up making a few purchases myself--completely unplanned, but I couldn't resist. It's possible my earlier experience was just an off day, and this visit definitely changed my perspective. As a nice bonus, they even gave me a handful of stickers for my gun room wall, which was a thoughtful touch. Based on this most recent visit, I'm fully revising my original review and now highly recommend this store for your firearm and ammo needs. Great selection, solid customer service, and a team that knows how to make you feel welcome. Paraphrased other experience: I felt ignored and took it personal.

The shop has the familiar feel of a classic surplus store, but what stood out most was the older gentleman behind the counter. He was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable--engaging without being overbearing, which we really appreciated. He pointed us in the right direction and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. Not only did we find what we needed, but everything was very affordable--which was a pleasant surprise. For anyone working on a project or just looking for solid military gear without breaking the bank, this place is worth checking out. Coming from a proud military family--my sons, their father, my husband, grandparents, and great-grandparents have all served--I truly appreciated his candor and expertise. It's clear this isn't just a shop; it's a space built on experience and respect. Highly recommend. We'll definitely be back.
