I've never had as much fun buying a gun. The pony hair guy LISTENED to what I wanted and then showed me several models to choose from. He even gave me a free T-shirt...that's gonna piss off my neighbors. Love it! Thanks for the beer! read more

Great customer service! I bought my guns from their warehouse, super fast to pick up took about 4 days! Money was right on the guns I bought! Great value read more

Been going here for about 2 years now. The guys there are very helpful. Good people. Good laughs. But watch out cause they are very persuasive haha. They have always been good to me and my wife. My wife got her CHL with them. Yes they have a range off site but I don't want y'all knowing about it and it becomes too crowded. It's peaceful out there and I could spend all day shooting. read more

he sold us random reloaded ammo for more than i pay for fiocchi. unfortunately my dad doesnt know much about guns. so when i asked him to "bring 300 rounds of 380acp" to share for target shooting, he went to the closest shop and bought this. not even knowing it was reloaded ammo, and that we got ripped off. Shameful. read more

Crazy Gun Dealer - My purchase - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Alvarado, Texas

Heard good things about this place. Went to check it out, after looking around on their website a few times and did not have a great experience. In my experience: - Staff that I interacted with had poor product knowledge which lead to a misunderstanding. - Customer service after the fact was pretty bad. I most likely won't be back. read more

Crazy Gun Dealer has an online presence by the name gunsandammo.com. I purchased a gun for $500 plus $25 for shipping. The following day I received a communication from a shipper (Scandinavian Express) in Colorado telling me I had to pay them $580 for a restriction stamp before they would ship it. Long story short Crazy Gun Dealer claims they don't know who these people are (yet they both have the same exact address). Guns and Ammo are crooks and Scandinavian Express is a total scam. I contacted the corporate headquarters and they don't do business in the USA and never heard of the person trying to scam me for shipping. DO NOT BUY FROM ANY OF THESE COMPANIES! read more

Crazy gun dealer is your place if you live in Johnson/Ellis county. The shop is SMALL as in you take 5 steps and you are on the other side of it but it is incredible how much of a selection they have. I have been to stores twice as big with half the inventory on hand. The guys working on my visit were friendly and knew there stuff but I never felt pressured to make a purchase they just seemed like they wanted to help me find what I wanted. Prices were very fair given the current market and I believe you will not find a better value on a new gun then you will with CGD and if you do they price match. Highly recommend for the service/selection/price and overall experience. Will be back. read more

Charged almost $80 for one 40 round mag for my ar. Told them how that was triple the price anywhere else. Turns out they "forgot" to change the tag from covid prices and it must have been sitting on a shelf. Completely rude and annoyed that i called him out on it, if i could give less than one star i would. Alvarado pawn right down the road is way better and i always get my guns sent there. read more

Good selection of AR's but way overpriced. We drove an hour and a half to their location. Relatively small store front. They had some 40 caliber reloads for $70 for fifty rounds. Service was polite and knowledgeable. read more

Free tee shirt with purchase We got two! Very nice. Polite. Quiet. Stopped on a Friday and is nice to be not overly crowded. Thank you for being there in these uncertain times. read more

Very friendly staff with unbeatable prices, I would definitely recommend them to anyone and everyone looking to purchase a new gun!

I have been to better gun stores and I have been to worse. On his ads, on the radio, they do say accessory and ammo purchase is required. However, when I priced buying the guns with the ammo and accessories, the gun comes out to be the same as if I bought it buy itself. He does have a decent selection but I was not happy when I was looking for a 40 caliber pistol. There were none. He said he does not carry 40 cal based on what the police shoot and based on his preference. His words were: I dont like 40 cal and I wont carry it. I live in Dallas and go to Glen Rose once a year. I pass his shop on the way down from Dallas and on the way back. Overall, if I lived in his area, I would shop there. But I live in dallas and it would not be worth the money or time in driving or shopping there based on looking for a gun. I think his business would be more popular if he just sold guns at fair market price and maybe give a discount if they buy accessories or ammo. However, the design of the store is horrible. If it is crowded, you are crawling over people. read more

I was extremely hopeful about going to the CGD. With the numerous radio commercials that play all the time, I was expecting some massive warehouse of weapons. It's not that at all - whatever, not a big deal. My friend and I went down for their used gun sale as well as a sale on a $99 shotgun. This is the reason for the poor review. Yes, you did get a shotgun for $99, BUT you had to buy $150 worth of ammo. NONE of the signs said you had to purchase ammo. When we found out that ammo had to be purchased, I said fine, I was expecting around $30 to $50 - not $150. We and everyone else in the store felt duped. Their online prices are FAR superior to their in store prices and they won't price match their own store. Skip the store and buy online. Even with the free CHL class, I likely won't go back. read more

I would not recommend this shop to anyone, especially if you are new to guns. I'm not exaggerating when I say they are charging 4-600 more for their guns than their competitors. I wasn't going to leave a review, but after one of the clerks (accidentally) pointed a gun at me I felt a need to. Please search around and find an alternative. You will be charged an arm and a leg for generic ARs and ammo, the staff didn't seem knowledgeable about pricing or even the guns themselves. read more

Small gun shop but they have a good variety of guns and accessories. Prices are fair. They have from common guns to collectibles.

Buyer Be Informed I recently made a purchase here and had a pretty cool experience. I had read reviews along with owner responses and knew they were mixed. I actually thought some of the negative reviews were pretty funny. Yes, the building is unconventional. So if you're really stuck on a traditional "store" building, go somewhere else. If that's not so important, this could be the place to purchase your next firearm. Online prices not the same as in store - No kidding! Online purchases have to be sent to an FFL who will have to complete your government-required paperwork, conduct the NICS check and transfer the firearm. That costs money. Consider the online store a separate entity, not advertising for in-store prices. The Crazy Gun Dealer does not charge a transfer fee when you purchase in the store. Also, many of the great prices in store require an ammunition purchase. I found these ammunition prices to be a little high, but not outrageous, and still well worth it, given the weapon price. Remember, EVERY business has to make money. So don't expect something for nothing. I found accessory prices to be through-the-roof. Examples included a reticle sight priced at $80 when MSRP is $60 and I found elsewhere online for $50, a 4-way Weaver rail system for $60 that I could find online for $20 and a bipod for $60 that I found online for $12. So be informed about what you're buying, get the firearm and ammo and move on! :-) I had a great experience here and would go back again. Pros: An informed buyer can get some great deals here on firearms from some friendly Texans. Cons: Ammo is a little pricey and accessories appear to be significantly more expensive than you will find elsewhere. Bottom Line: If you're in the area and in the market for a firearm, there are some great deals to be had at the Crazy Gun Dealer. Just be informed on pricing and know that some items will be a really good deal and other items are very pricey. read more

Guns hundreds over retail. Got the same gun for $250 they were charging $650 for. Ridiculous. They also overcharge for ammo on their "deals". Total sham. read more

I dealt with these guys 20 years ago when they had an auction business (should have seen the up charges then...) and I can see that nothing has changed with these clowns. they were an over glorified pawn shop then and now they are a retail pawn shop. Buyer beware. once a con artist, always a con artist. read more

We drove to Alvarado based on advertising of low prices On guns & ammo. While waiting on background check, we looked the gun up online. The price here at Crazy Gun Guy was $699, online and other stores, the gun was priced $409-$429 (at Point Blank). After back ground check we ask why there was such a price difference, the clerk stammered around & said online prices are lower. Also stating the gun was very difficult to find in stock. We later contacted the owner about the High price gouging and requested a refund. He said all sales are final. He eventually said if we could buy it for $200 less somewhere else and bring the new gun & receipt to Alvarado (over an hour drive for us) by 6pm he would refund our entire purchase. When we arrived & introduced ourselves he was loud & threatening toward us. We acknowledged the Final Sales stipulation and told him we appreciated his refunding. The owner said I don't appreciate the commits about Price Gouging and Bait & Switch advertising from us. I said be glad we didn't go on Yelp and review your business. He got up from his desk and stormed toward us. He was yelling in my face and I began recording him yelling. He screamed no videoing in the store & ordered me to leave. I did out of concern for his belligerent actions toward me leave the store. Heads up to anyone thinking they are going there for a 'good deal', don't waste your time. Did I mention the bullets were $79? Point Blank is $49. read more

Not worth the drive from Dallas. Went there because they had a special on AR's but to get the gun at the "sale" price I was required to buy 250 dollars in ammo. I took my business elsewhere. I dont like the feeling of being taken advantage of. read more

Came on the 4th of July (2020) for their sale, it was my first time there. I did research and the past 4th of July sales seemed to be great. The advertisement I heard on the radio specified that one could choose a 22LR revolver or rifle for $100 plus an ammunition purchase. We had to wait in line, under the sun and heat, for 2 hours, the store is really small and couldn't hold an appropriate amount of people. When I finally got in, their sale products were really, really disappointing; a "brandless" revolver that resembled a kids toy and that a small single shot rifle with two barrel options; less than good quality. They had 2 self serve jugs of cold water for people waiting under the sun. They also have a lot of space to improve customer service wise. read more

They don't know much about gun but they really don't know anything about customer service at all. They will do whatever it takes to make the sell but once they get your money they treat you like you don't exist. I had to go back after my background check came back in when I went back I had to stand in the cold and rain for 3 hours just to pick up my gun. Wouldn't recommend anyone going here. read more

Tyler was our helper, he was great! Cool shirts! Excellent service !! Worth the drive. read more

Wonderful selection. Gaylord is a great help. Would have given 5 stars if ammunition was priced reasonably, quite high at the moment. Safe environment. read more

Please shop around before you buy from this store! I didn't and it cost me $500+ dollars. I purchased 2 guns at $499.00 each because I thought they had the best prices. The next day I found the sam gun at multiple stores for $269.00 And they charge and extra 4% of you use a credit card. When I went back to see if they would make it rt they said sorry nothing we can do about it. Very disappointing! read more

Have yet to actually purchase a gun from here, but from what I observed and heard when inside, it looked well organized inside, they had a nice, decent sized selection of guns. I've seen past reviews and read bad comments on staff, but the staff now seems very professional and friendly, much more active than as described in past reviews. Not only that, but I could hear the orientation of a new hire, the lady explaining everything was going through a lot of what she expects from him. I just really thought that was great. I was very glad to be asked if I was being helped, even though I hadn't expected to be asked that since I am 18 and most gun stores seem to avoid the younger customers, but I've got a whole different perspective for Crazy Gun Dealers for that reason, kudos to that employee. I'll definitely be back, got my eyes on that ACR! read more

If you purchase from them, they offer a free CHL or License to Carry class, where you have just pay for your ammo, lunch and class/shooting supplies. Instructor is good, but not for the easily offended or faint of heart. :-) Be prepared for a full day of class (about 8 hours, including lunch). You'll learn something, so this is a good set up. read more

Love the store, hate their unprofessionalism. I would rather pay a higher price than be subjected to their "We don't need your money" attitude. read more

Hubby and I drove over one hour to Alvarado from Dallas, and regret the waste of time. All of their advertising on country radio lead us to believe this place was worth a drive. The customer service is horrible and on the borderline of rude. Bearly acknowledged us, but the sales lady about tripped over herself to help someone she recognized. The choices are terrible and the pistols available were covered in dust as if someone just dug it out of a hole in the ground. They will not sell ammo unless you buy a firearm from them. Don't waste the trip like we did... so not worth the drive. read more

I recently had a new rifle ordered with these good people. Had a good experience with these nice folks. J D is great and was most helpful. As for pricing even when adding in the shipping / transfer fee they made me a good deal. While I was there I also purchased 250 rounds of ammo for $89.95. I did find out later that I could have purchased the same brand and amount from a big box retailer for around $69.00. However.... even adding back that extra twenty bucks these folks are delivering the rifle I wanted at a good value in a fun & friendly atmosphere. I'm still money ahead and I'm doing business with nice local folks. This place isn't fancy, but it is fun. And fun works. I can update this when my rifle is delivered next week. But I do not expect my opinion to change. 5 stars for these folks. read more

Best gun store I've ever seen no one has better deals and the staff is the best I had a super fun time here signing over my checking account to them. Robert is the best salesman I've ever seen and super nice. read more

Bait and switch. They tried to charge almost $100 more in-store than what was on their website. Who does that??? Then the owner will blast you on your opinion of his business ethics and tell you that you have to click on another page on his website to know that you have no idea what you are going to pay until you make the drive because they wont tell you the real price of the gun over the phone. Don't fall for it. I have bought several firearms and looked at the websites for pricing at other dealers and every store I have gone to has been what it says online. I don't walk into an extra surprise cost. They were very polite even though they did not get my money. read more

HORRIBLE business ethics. Hired someone and rescinded after this person quit their job. They even talked to them a 2nd time to confirm they quit their job and set day to come in. If I could give 0 stars I would. Who would do business with people who messes with others lives like this? read more

Great class. Only one full day and free if you purchase a gun. Will spend $35 for the ammunition so don't bring your own. All sign ups must be done via the website and classes fill up fast. Class is lecture style and proficiency at the gun range. For $5 you get pizza or bring your own lunch. My wife and I enjoyed the class very much. read more

Just went in and purchased a S&W M&P 40 cal from JD at the Crazy Gun Dealer. He was fast, professional and nice to deal with. Process was fast and courteous. Will be back to buy the wife and daughter toys for Christmas! Thanks Gang! read more

Price gouging on guns and ammo, $75 for 50 rounds of off brand target .38 ammo is insane. Almost all guns are hundreds above retail value, some even double retail price. Extremely long wait times outside. They do have tons of selections to choose from, but are definitely ripping people off because everywhere else is sold out. read more

My first time here. Me and my partner were wanting to look at fire arms and buy billets for the ones we had. One of them employees was calling one of his customers faggots. I thought they were talking about us...luckily not. However, I'm not used to such ideas. Won't be back. read more

I'm guessing by the reviews, it's a great "good ol' boy" gun shop. After hearing the ads on xmradio, I decided to go and check it out, after calling 4 times, and the lady answering and hanging up, I finally got an answers, and asking if they had parking for a large vehicle, (my truck is 24 feet long) her response? This isn't the gun store!!! Odd, because the hold music was all about the gun shop.... Guess I'll take my business to the big guys, so much for trying to shop the local place... read more

First time here. Guys behind counter very knowledgable and professional to work with.... However I had a gun I wanted to trade in to use towards the purchase of one of theirs... When I gave the lady my gun, she just kept asking how much I want for it. I said I wanna use it towards credit for purchase of one of yours.. So you tell me how much I have to work with.. She comes back from the back room and says they need to know how much I want. I said " again, you tell me, I wanna use it as credit to buying one of your guns". She comes back out and says they can't do anything until I tell them how much I want for it. This is pretty amateur in my opinion... This tells me they were more concerned with paying too much for this gun if they could get me to say a cheaper price... Rather than just give me a fair price for the gun and let's do business. They would make money on buying mine and selling theirs... But Them being cheap, has cost them this customer.... I wasn't trying to get top dollar. I know how this works. You gotta make money. But not giving me a number because you are afraid you might pay more than you have to... That seems crooked to me In response to Kenny below on my comment. Sorry, I don't think this is an unreasonable complaint. I have been buying/selling/trading guns for many years. By constantly dodging the the stance on how much you will pay for a gun is not a good system. I came in to leave with one of your guns. Tell me what you can do. Period. I said, " I am gonna buy one of your AR'S, tell me what I have to work with". That is a very clear statement. It's not a game, where you need to guess my feelings and intentionally not give me a number. I am there to buy/trade a gun. Ever bought/trade/sold at a gun show? No one is stroking your hair about your feelings. It's gun business. You have a computer, you see what it's worth, make a deal like I asked for when I handed you the gun. I was very clear when I came in. I want to leave with an AR, I have a gun I want to sell you as credit towards my AR purchase. If you can't give me a price on how much you will pay for my gun, then it's amateur, or shady. One or the other. It's common knowledge that when you are a seller, and the buyer refuses to give you a price and Keeps insisting that you tell them a price, they are trying not to pay more than they have to. Thats it, no other way to sugar coat it, that's what they are doing. Your people came from back room 3 times, to ask me how much I want, and each time I said, I want to buy an AR, I want to use this as credit for my purchase, tell me how much I have to work with. And each time they went in the back and came back out and same the same thing, over and over again. "We need to know how much you want" ugh..... I assure you Kenny that people feel the same way I do. Yes, there are newbs, and millenials that don't understand how buying/trading and selling guns work. But since you are defending the service you gave to me, maybe that's your customers you are wanting. Reply to reply Please don't assume I would have handled your offer as a complaint. I started my review with a positive statement about your staff. I posted this reviews for others who may visit your store. Not so that a defensive staff member can reply with comments of my character. I gave a review about my experience. An experience that you as an owner/staff member has control over. Your choice of control doesn't sit well with this customer. Accept it, change it, or carry on since you feel that works best for your business. But don't respond to my review implying that I'm just a complaining customer and you can't win with me. That's not very professional. I don't want to continue this pointless banter read more
