Fantastic store with wall to wall guns. From what I understand this is the largest female owned gun store in the south and her prices are awesome! read more

Group of "Old Guy" shooters from NC ,2 are previous sponsored IDPA and Sporting Clays enthusiasts. Been visiting area for Spring Training for well over 25 years and we always include a visit to Coles. Only bought a few items over the years, but always treated well and enjoy talking with the staff. The negative people who complain, usually have a history of impatience or exude an air of hostility if they don't get a fair amount of "sucking up". Sorry for them, they're missing a great experience. read more

Went in thinking about purchasing a pistol also had trade in, or to sell outright. Just the wayThe owner didn't even give me an offer was not interested.And it is a valued piece i've had for years worth money. Just feel they mostly just want to sell you a gun service , please just okay. I just ended up ordering it.I wanted online and it will be shipped to another license dealer to pick up. Didn't really care for the shop too much.. read more

Knowledgeable staff, great selection, ability to acquiring specific pieces is impressive.

Love Coles they always treat me with respect. Whenever I come in to browse or buy they great me with a " hello Vito". Also if I have a question about one of my guns their always ready to help. The gun smith did an excellent job on my trigger smooth as glass now. Keep up the good work read more

Purchased a pistol, great sales staff grade service great price! An excellent selection of long guns wheel guns semi guns and knives, accessories ammunition for all of your needs read more

I was greeted immediately when I walked in and was helped. The guy behind the counter was very knowledgeable and walked me around helping me find the perfect gun. After choosing they walked me through the paperwork and made sure I understood everything. Came back 3 days later picked up my gun and again was greeted immediately and they also spent time letting me look at a few other pieces before I left. Top notch staff. Will most certainly be back. read more

This has to be the preeminent guns shop in this state. This epic store has fantastic prices on everything including ammo. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The owner makes sure that if it isn't in the store she will find it for you and she will bring it in including class iii items. If you are going anywhere else then you are losing out read more

Have been a customer for several years now thru 10 plus transactions either on direct buys or using them as my transfer receiving agent Never had a problem and always enjoyed working with them. read more

****DO NOT USE THIS GUN SHOP**** I called to complete an FFL and an older lady answered and I asked "If they can check if they received the email from the other Gun Shop for the FFL." The unnamed older lady responded by yelling at me and stated, "We don't do respond immediately and check, I have a store full of customers!!!" I responded "I apologize I don't know your rules." She stated "It's NOT RULES IT'S COMMON COURTESY!" I've never received such rude and inappropriate feedback from an establishment like I did with her. The appropriate response to a buying customer would have been as follows: Hello, responding to customer with the general timeframe for FFL email confirmations and advice with a cheerful attitude. It's not my job to know the rules for your business and if you are miserable at your job, I would hope you would find another establishment to work for, as I am a business owner...I would not employ her! This caused me to not process the transfer and I intended to purchase another firearm and ammunition when I picked up my FFL transfer, for my home protection. It's also important not to treat people unkindly or dismissive. I sure hope she is not the owner of the business! Additionally, I would have posted no stars if that was an option. read more

Had the staff do a firearm transfer for me..........very helpful and highly recommend..........Will do business with them again. Thank you very much. Steven B. read more

Have not been in the shop before, however, i made a call requesting a specific glock available in blue label.they did not have it in stock which is understandable, but staff did seem to have no desire to help.. it was as if they dont mind if you order it elsewhere, I love supporting local shops but it isnt worth the time if they dont care about the customers needs. All he had to do was make an effort to order it (which i know they dont have an issue doing) or take my number for when one comes in..i know how it is but jeez, make an effort. if i ever stop by the shop, i will make an updated review, but it seems to me the prior reviews of these employees customer service issues is valid. Looks like i will be ordering online from gt distributors read more

You be the judge and jury... My wife was charged ($66.95) for 50 rounds of PPU 50 rounds jacketed hollow points. PPU scores in the bottom tier of 10mm ammo in (FPS). Underwood ammo which scored in the top 2 ammo company, sells 180 grain jacketed hollow points in 20 round boxes for ($18.50) SKU# 244. So ($37.00) for 40 rounds. Definitely a issue in ammo prices at this gun shop. You decide! read more

I will not come back here to purchase anything from this place , horrible service, refused a refund several times, i bought a 50 round mag and it jammed on me . I was told it has no isse what so ever , went to reload to try it out and the spring got stuck , fake products.horrible place dont get you're stuff from here read more

Excellent service. These guys take the time to educate you on their products and make in my opinion great recommendations. I could not have been made more comfortable with my Glock purchase. Bravo Zulu! Oh to you military Active, Vets and Police go talk too them about special deals on Glocks for us. read more

The worst gun shop ever. Had to cancel my order do to a mix up with approval from the State of Florida would take 3 weeks to clear up my approval. I never took the guns out of the store, didn't even touch one of the guns. Yet they charged me a 25% restocking charge. I own 3 business & have never seen such a poor run business. They are a big rip off. Take advantage to make a profit. Rick 101st Airborne/Vietnam read more

My all-time favorite gun shop. There are closer shops near me but this one was worth the drive. The staff and owner are extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. I was shopping for my first AR15 and was on the fence with several brands, Elliott was the one who took his time to explain the differences between each rifle and he did a great job helping me to make the right decision for me. He also helped me find multiple options for this gun too which again was perfect for me. The owner Barbara is the best in the business and nicest person you could meet very knowledgeable as well. The other staff is just as phenomenal and a got to give a thanks to both Ricky and Carl as well as they helped to answer 100s of questions my young son had while I was busy with Elliott.....just a great place to shop for a gun and shop for gun accessories. This is my new go to gun shop now and forever. read more

I like the professionalism and the knowledge of everyone I've ever spoke to in the shop.

Decent gun shop. Ed the shop smith is very very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. They have a decent selection of sigs primarily and then plenty of others to OoO and ahh at and a ok selection or long guns. Gun prices were competitive bit on the high end mags and clips still priced like they were during the shortage... Their bench price is $85 an hour and I found out that you minimally have to buy an hour.... Was pretty expensive to get a muzzle break times right. But we ended up Doing a full breakdown so I can send my gun out for hydro dipping. Other than that it is a guys guns shop. Bunch of buds sitting around talking trash telling stories. But that's ok always enjoy perusing what's in the store. read more

Great team of gun experts dedicated to helping both novice and expert gun enthusiasts. Great selection of hand and long guns to choose from. Staff is very friendly and I will definatly purchase from Coles Gun Shop again! read more

The owner is extremely rude. My mom called her shop to ask about a gun my uncle said just came out that would be easier to handle for women who are petite with smaller hands like my mom. When my mom asked about that gun and described the gun as such, the woman got an attitude with her and said that all guns are made for men and women to handle the same. My mom tried to continue to ask her about the gun and all she did was cut her off every time she tried to speak, said she was the owner and knows all about the guns in her shop. Vile. read more

I've been using Coles for over 20 years. They are all extremely knowledgeable and have very fair pricing. The gunsmiths know their stuff and I trust them with my guns. Those complaining about time in shop may have dropped their guns off right before hunting season and expected overnight service. My AR repair ran 7 days...very fair. read more

Worst gun shop I've ever been to in my life! All I asked for was for an expo to get re-bed. Took them five months to get it done and over charged me double what I've ever paid for in Texas! Run from this gun shop do not use them in the future read more

These guys have always treated me fairly, whether it be in store purchases, gunsmith or receiving online purchases to process for me. Great local gun shop read more

The staff at Coles Gun Shop are fantastic to work with. I arrived to the store, explained what I was looking for and they were more than willing to help. They were not pushy and showed an amazing amount of respect towards my opinions, I inspected what I wanted as well as something for my daughter to learn on. I ended up coming back two days later to find the same respect and they were very happy to see me again. JP, Ricky, Elliott as well as Barbara assisted me with my purchases ensuring I got exactly what I wanted. They made the purchase stress free with great conversation. If you are looking for a Blue label Glock dealer, or any firearm for that matter. This is where you want to go. Ammo was priced very well for today's standards. Completely satisfied with my purchases I will recommend them to everyone I know. Looking forward to more purchases in the future. Thank you all. My daughter is also extremely excited and ready to take her first shots. read more

I am a returning customer to Coles. I live in St Petersburg and could deal with gun dealers in the immediate area. The staff at Coles is outstanding. They are friendly and extremely knowledgeable and take the time to answer any questions that you may have without making you feel rushed. The attitude of the staff carryovers even after the sale. The trip to Clearwater from St Petersburg is worth the drive. read more

Really nice store with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Good selection of all kinds of guns and even a few knives. If they don't have it they will try and get it for you. Just bought a specific gun which they had to order for me. I had it in my hands within four working days and I wound up paying less out the door than I could have found it anywhere else, including Gunbroker or Cheaper Than Dirt! Minor downsides include the questionable area their store is located in and the fact that it is very much a "man's" store and would not appeal to most female customers. I would compare it to a local hole-in-the-wall garage: grungy and to the point but with good, honest employees who will give you a fair deal. read more

Coles is a great gun shop with the owner "Tiny" and sales associates. The manager Jeff is not customer friendly however. Jeff is abrupt, impatient , rude and unprofessional. Jeff seems to dislike his job or the public in general. If you avoid Jeff and ask for Cliff or anyone else you will have a great informational and purchase experience!! I purchased 3 handguns, 1 rifle and a fairly decent amount of accessories. Jeff assisted with only 1 hangun but it was very unpleasant. Regretfully, Sam read more

High prices and not very friendly. Was quoted $40 high for an LE Pistol that sells for $359. When I mention purchasing from Internet they try to convince me that shipping and FFL transfer will add another $100 to the price. When I mention that I've never paid more than $30 to ship a hand gun they rudely say maybe you should shop somewhere else! No negotiating here. You pay their price or get out! I refuse to deal with them again. read more

Find another shop, I took a 22 rifle in to have a front peep sight replaced and was charged $100.00. I later found the sight on Amazon for 9.09. It must have taken them less than 5 minutes to install the sight. When I took it in the salesman estimated between 40 and 50 dollars. Needless to say I will be discussing this with my many gun owning friends. In the meantime find somewhere else for your firearm needs. read more

I walked into the store and was waiting about 20 minutes for the next available salesperson. Then some guy walked in behind me. They never asked who was next. They just started helping the guy that walked in behind me. I was annoyed and just left. read more

Bought several pistols here in the last couple years. Had to bring one back to them to send back to the manufacturer for repair or replacement and was basically treated with indifference at best and rudely at worst. Almost 3 months later got the replacement after many calls to Coles and Ruger and never even a "sorry for the trouble" There's lots of places to do business other than Coles. read more

Lots of great guns and products .BUT sales staff is rude . Examplle . I walked in with a budy between us we had $1200 we wanted to buy something. We got there 30 min before Closing , we come in and the first words are we are closing in 30 min.Really? Thats B.S. . We scaned the store and decided to go PALM Harbor to TAKE AIM GUNS . We got there about 30 min before thier closing .We got a freindly welcome and and we were then told that they would be close in 30 min but no rush we have tiime to look and buy. My buddy and I both bought guns. read more

It was a better shop when it was Mr. Coles. here ya go, I walk in to Coles 30 min before closing with my buddy , between us had $2500 in cash, we were itching to buy something. We rang the buzzer the door opens FIRST WORDS (we close in 30 min).Really? We looked around for 5min and went to shop in Palm Harbor we spent $1600 between us .The shop in Palm harbor was closing in 30 min and we were not rushed .I bought several guns, parts AMMO , had a few fixed at Coles OVER THE YEARS.That was the last straw. read more

Wonderful, considerate employees! Everyone there was friendly and went out of their way to help me with a handgun I took in for service & shipping. The gunsmith was prompt and efficient in taking off a side mounted sight that had been on this gun for a long time. I was treated professionally and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a business that has an experienced and knowledgeable staff. read more
