Enormous inventory,pleasant atmosphere,knowledgeable and professional sales staff especially Gary

Great service and friendly atmosphere. Awesome selection of firearms and very knowledgeable staff.

I had a great experience no issue. You just have to get there early. The location gets busy fast but excellent customer service from Mr. Charlie Kola, very knowledgeable about his products and takes his time educating you on new products and how it can be beneficial to you. 100% recommend this location. Thank you Mr. Kola and the staff at Coliseum Gun. Got my product with no issue and it came in fast. read more

They are fine at best. The staff I had help me were a mixed bag, most of the time it felt less like conversation and more like I was trying to interrogate them. Trust is really important to me when it comes to buying a firearm, and for whatever reason I just felt like these guys were always trying to hide the lead. Be it inexperience or lack of industry knowledge, I have no idea but it's just really bizarre. read more

I was having difficulty removing my choke tube on my BT99 shotgun. I called the shop, and they said bring it in.We'll take a look at it. Even though the store was busy, Andy, the in house gunsmith, took it downstairs into the shop and returned my shotgun back within minutes. Problem solved. No charge. I'll be a customer for life. BTW, their range in Ridge is excellent ! read more

Really good store with extensive amount of different firearms and ammo. Great service. Very reasonable prices. read more

These people are rude and ignorant. I had one of their employees argue with me and claim that it's against federal law for a non-licensee to ship a firearm to an FFL holder. It is NOT; I've done it several times. What a shameful idiot to argue something he knows nothing about. read more

I am a first time gun owner. I did not know what to expect or, much of anything. I told the salesperson exactly that. I felt welcomed and got a wonderful education. No one pushed anything on me and, Tommy { the gentleman who helped me} spent all the time I needed to make the right decisions. No hard sell. He spent about 3 hours with me and, helped me make the best choices for my needs. After the sale, he was still extremely helpful going step by step- even stapled my paper work together to avoid confusion. There is so much paperwork to complete it can be overwhelming. I very rarely write reviews however, I was happy to write this one. Great experience - especially as a first time owner. read more

I've seen some mixed reviews here. But my first experience was just before Covid and then a few experience since Covid. So let's get something straight. There a laws. You have to follow them. This isn't like trying on a pair of shoes. You can't just touch something if you don't have a permit. And if you do and your kid doesn't they can't touch it. So if the people there seem on edge I can imagine why. I witnessed the most unsettling exchange with someone who just got their pistol permit but wanted their son to feel the gun they weee buying. And when the sales person stopped them the customer got visibly upset. I have had only great experiences here. When they are busy it's hard to spend a lot of time but they never rush me when it's my turn. And the few times I have been there during Covid without a line and minimal other customers there have been multiple people helping me, telling me stories and teaching me safety and the proper way to do things. I have also checked pricing. I have a cell phone. You can too. It is not much different anywhere else so why go anywhere else. These guys are local and will support you when you need it. I'm sticking here and asking them to take my money. read more

Coliseum Gun Traders was started, owned and operated from the same location, albeit occupying but a small fraction of its current space, by Andy's father in the late 70's. I bought my first handgun here in the early 80's, back when Andy, the current owner, still had hair and better eyesight. Over the years I have learned to prioritize what is important in dealing with vendors, which includes their experience, trustworthiness, honesty, integrity, reputation, longevity, knowledge and price. Although no one likes to overpay, price, in dealing with something as critical as firearms, ranks near the bottom of my list. Andy's prices are not the cheapest, but always fair. As for Andy, he has always been sarcastic, snarky, and not particularly good looking, but who cares. That's just his personality. However, he knows his stuff. As for the other purchase factors, I have come to rely heavily on the sage advice from Andy and his sales crew. Once, when I was interested in purchasing a gun I chose, Andy interceded and told me that it was not the right pistol for me and carefully explained why. He was right. If you are looking for a quick, one time, cheap acquisition, Coliseum GT may not be for you. If you are in it for the long haul, and are willing to pay a fair price, and benefit from a huge inventory, decades of experience, and be welcomed into the CGT family, you have come to the right place. Gentlemen, thank you.. Oléh D. p.s. And, we are not related read more

Not the greatest help as the guy had no experience or knowledge of simple shotgun ammo questions and they over charged me for 12 gauge ammo. Not coming back read more

Coliseum Gun Traders are the Truth!!!! From the moment I stepped into the door they were very helpful all the way until the end of my purchase. Thanks for the assistance in making a decision to make this place my only shop stop! Hope to see you guys soon! read more

One of the best resource on Long Island. It's worth the wait to get inside if you have to wait. What you'll get is Experienced professionals who know their business. Something new, Ammo talk a bit's you'll get exactly the right piece for you. read more

Great friendly service. Cannot be happier. When I walk in there and of course you have to wait your turn, but where don't you. Best prices on hand pistols, a little pricey on ammo. Go there for everything, because I am happy with the overall Business. read more

Their help was excellent. The salesperson took the time to go over all the handguns that my wife was interested in and by eliminating those that did not work we were able to select one model that fitted my wife. read more

Well, I purchased a firearm and a optic with them and the service was excellent. When I got home I checked out the optic and it's my first time I've ever purchased one it seemed off. I showed a few of my friends and they also stated the same thing. I called over they told me come by to check it out. I stop by 3 days later after purchase and first thing I'm told is it's fine you have eye problems. The man behind him states I'm not looking at it unless it's on a firearm. I tell him I put it on my firearm just to check it out and I think it's wrong again it's my first optic, he tells me I can't return the item because you put it in a firearm. Things changed from the first time I visited to now, and I guess true colors show when you're not spending money the day you show up and customer service really matters. Would of been nice if he could of said "hey sometimes people have issues due to their vision, and maybe you can't see it correctly because of that" felt like it was just a very rude interaction and I won't be purchasing firearms from this location ever again. Now I'm stuck with a optic I can't even use that I never used, just wasted a few hundred bucks for no reason. The manufacture said I have 30 days to return but it has to be to the store you brought it from. This store won't refund me my money for a item I haven't used. My second time driving well over 2 hours from nyc to this location. Won't be spending money here again. read more

Unprofessional & rude, it's a shame when customers wait more than 3 hours and get screamed at for trying to ask a question. This is directly to the manager, Kevin, you don't have to worry about not selling me a gun which is what you threatened to a group of us. I waited 1.5 hours, spoke to you and came back to wait 3 hours today, I ONLY WANTED AMMO. You passed out 7-10 courtesy cards but there were at least 20 customers who waited at least 3 hours that you ignored, that isn't fair. A few of us waited to ask if you had extra cards for all the customers who waited, we all waited faithfully because we wanted to be YOUR customer but trust & believe we discussed trying other dealers while we waited outside. You are NOT the only ammo dealer in town. I understand this is a pandemic, a 2nd rush on guns, I am sure that you & your sales clerks are all tired and frustrated but if customers can be patient & wait the least you can do is be patient & speak to us all respectfully. Your behavior was uncalled for. I went to another dealer where they have enough sense to take ammunition customers separately. I was in & finished in 10 minutes. You lost a customer today, you probably don't care but if you had any respect for your customers you would learn to treat them ALL as fairly as possible. read more

Everyone there is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They make everything very easy and provided guidance on what is best and recommendations. read more

I would have given them an extra star but yesterday, as I took the ride all the way out to the store, I arrived at 7:20pm and the gates were down, lights out, and the workers saying good-bye to each other. They don't close until 8pm, so if you're going to make the trip out there like I did, don't expect them to stick to their posted hours. read more

We visited this store twice and were impressed by the professionalism and courtesy experienced both times. After visiting a store that was closer to where we like and being the recipient of lackluster assistance, we decided never to go back. The salesperson acted as if he did not even want us there; as if we were a bother. read more

Great Customer Service, Staff was excellent and greeted everyone as you entered. Cameron helped me and was Fantastic. Would Buy Again.

They are great bunch of guys very helpful, and as a Army Dad I love to support the veterans working there, just pick up my Marlin dark 45-70 lever action, my only disappointment no ammo in stock ,I forgive them this Covid19 bug got us all upside down. David. read more

I'm a NYC resident that was looking for a Glock 45 MOS in this "pandemic" and had a period of 2 months to buy something after going back and forth with the 2 shops I've delt with in the past which are DF Brothers in Brooklyn & South Shore Sportsman in LI and not being able to find what I wanted because they didn't have it and didn't know when they were going to have it nevertheless ammo. I finally decided to look elsewhere and when I came a cross this shop and I was not only shocked they had the pistol I was looking for but ammo as well. The whole process went smooth dealing with Gary. I will be coming back here for future purchases. My only issue was that I felt the price on the pistol was a bit elevated and the price on the ammo was more than double(which is everywhere right now) read more

I have been buying and selling them guns for over 20 years and has always been a joy.

This man is a rip off . Bought a rifle never used it times got bad thought I would get at least close to what I paid but no way he offered me 100 bucks this man is a selfish thief and really doesn't care about anyone but himself he offered me 100 bucks and actually looked in my eyes and said oh well thats my offer. I explained things are bad I'm sure he is gonna sell it for a few hundred maybe a couple more bucks he said no and walked away. I really believe in what you put out comes back to you. I really hope you fall on hard times and are looking for help and your treated like I was . You should be ashamed read more

Bought a couple of guns this past year off of Coliseum. Great group of knowledgeable people. Friendly staff always willing to help out. They also have a great selection of in stock firearms. Check out the display of custom guns in the back. Nighthawks, Wilson Combat and more. I go in there all the time and feel like a kid at an amusement park. Check em out. read more

OK - So listen close & allow me introduce myself - the course of my review; I was born in the Bronx and grew up @ the corner of this stuff in East Meadow; Spent my entire life growing up in East Meadow - Came back from my Days @ the University of Delaware - starting in 1995 and was brought into this family with my first purchase of a Glock 17. Once you buy from Coliseum you are part of the very close family; Despite going away to College in Delaware. Medical School in Central American & England and my Residency in Upstate New York - I managed to keep in close contact with Andy and Friends @ Coliseum. They are great and caring people. This isn extremely well run business with may things to offer customers - particularly great prices. This is my only place that I will go for firearms and repair. Again - the owner is a gentleman who I personally trust and have worked director with. read more

caution ! stay alert , stay away . me and my friends used to visit here a lot . but reacently I realized they sold me 2nd hand pistol as new gun price ! be aware of these scammers ! read more

This place has multiple one star reviews for a reason and that reason is that this place SUCKS! Recently, I visited this store looking to purchase my first ever firearm or at least get some information on how to start. When I first walked into the store, I noticed it was horribly small. The second thing I noticed, was that there wasn't much of an inventory. I waited a few minutes since the employees were dealing with a customer. 15 minutes later and they finally noticed me and asked what do I need. When I told them I was looking to purchase a firearm, the employee seemed annoyed, uninterested, and hostile. They started asking me different questions but had a nasty attitude while asking me. The funny thing is, right before they helped me, they were polite with a different customer. I'm not sure what the employee's name is but they have no customer service skills at all. Because of that, they lost a potential customer. I was willing to make a purchase but the way I was treated made me change my mind. I will GLADLY take my business ELSEWHERE because this place is TERRIBLE. I was naive to ignore the previous bad reviews left at this place but take my review and the others into consideration and avoid this place like the plague. read more

Worst place to buy a weapon . They are overly priced on all items and the service is horrible . Stay away and boycott this place. Let them go out of business. read more

Went today with my husband to look for a rifle. We were treated with respect and courtesy by Wally, who recommended a firearm within our price range. We waited for about an hour to get in but we expected it. Pleasant experience all around. We will go back again if we need anything else. read more

Time is tough for every 2A supporters, but rudeness is never acceptable for service retail business to customers. They are benefiting thru all this scarcity so please be little bit patience for the potentially paying customers. I don't understand that some people in gun stores (not all) are ok to be rude because they work/ having a job in gun store?? WHY? it's just a job, same as a workers in Target or Macdonald. Try to earn a living. Why the rudeness just because you carry a firearm. SMH read more

Came here to get a gun for my bf's birthday. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff, great selection, good prices, and cool knifes. Love the atmosphere - everyone is jocular, down-to-earth, and full of life. read more

I bought a pistol from them on an auction site. They sent the WRONG GUN and 2 different receipts with 2 different gun serial numbers. My FFL delt with the exchange for me but when I asked for an updated tracking number, they just said "it was mailed tuesday". Apparently a grasp of decency is as difficult for them as it is for them to send out the CORRECT GUN. Dumbasses read more

Very honest people with a lot of knowledge there prices ok no hidden fees or tricks !

Walked in and was looking for a particular smith and wesson rifle after looking all over for it and it being out of stock they had it purchased it and was in my way out the store with it less then 30 mins staff was friendly and are not money hungry like other places will be returning to get another firearm read more

I purchased both rifles and shotguns from this shop over the years. Most recently, I purchased a shotgun. I have always found the staff very friendly and willing to help. In addition, they have an excellent selection and great prices. Charlie and Mike were very helpful with my recent purchase. I will definitely return again. read more

Bought a brand new Benelli M4 H2O shotgun and had it assembled at the store. Next day, I find that there is damage to the magazine tube, I could see the shiny metal under the cerakote coating. Upon closer inspection I can see the end/edge of the magazine tube is mangled. I immediately called the store, I didn't get a name, guy said I can bring it in but there's nothing they would be able to do. He tried to explain to me that's how it came from Benelli- um why is this my problem? Secondly, why waste my time further by inviting me to the store and at the same time tell me you can't do anything!? You've lost my future business and the business of everyone I know over a one hundred dollar magazine tube. To anyone considering purchasing anything here: shop elsewhere, somewhere that stands behind what they sell. Can't imagine this place staying in business much longer with this kind of shenanigan. read more

The vibe here is just off. Feels like everyone is staring at you and just has an awkward vibe to it. They have tacky sales tactics to try and trick you out of money, had to come back multiple times (waste time and gas money) to set things straight. Don't go here, I go to Dicks Sporting Goods for my ammo now. read more

Great bunch of guys. Tom & Mannie are Honest and extremely knowledgeable about Firearms whether they be Pistol or Rifles. They also provide excellent Technical Support & their workmanship is the type of services you depend on. read more
