I drove three hours to his shop, and it was absolutely worth the trip. He took the time to answer every question, explain the differences between models, and make sure I left with the right fit for me. The whole experience was professional, friendly, and confidence‑building. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again.

Be careful buying their Gunbroker listings. In my opinion they have shill bidders that try to run…read moreup their prices. Then when the shill bidder wins the auction, they don't complete the transaction and Tar river immediately relists the item with a higher starting bid. If they are going to be deceptive they should use a shill bidder that doesn't have 10 feedback that are ALL from Tar River Arms...SMFH

I specifically let Dillon know I wanted the gun and asked to be called once everything was approved. I was told the process usually takes around 3 days. I work long hours in HVAC, especially this time of year, and I live about an hour away from the shop. Dillon called Sunday to let me know it cleared and that I could come pick it up, but I didn't receive the message until Monday night. When I called Tuesday morning, I was told the gun had already been sold and that I could be placed on a wait list instead. After driving out there, waiting on the background delay, and trying to coordinate around work, that was really disappointing to hear. I understand inventory moves quickly, but I feel like more time should have been given considering the circumstances and the communication we had beforehand. Unfortunately, the experience left me feeling like my time didn't matter, and I won't be returning.

This has got to be one of the best gun stores I have ever been in--which is saying something as I…read morequite the gun enthusiast. I have spent nearly 15k in their store over the past year (a large safe, custom hunting rifle, Sig AR-15, multiple high-end pistols, and boatloads of ammo). That said, I price shopped for every single purchase and Ed's beat out every other gun store--to include Ft Bragg's gun stores that you don't pay taxes in. Additionally, I am continually impressed by the level of professionalism their employees display. At no time have I ever felt talked-down-to or belittled--which is a rarity in gun stores now-a-days. This is so much the case that my wife even enjoys it when we go there--which is saying something as my wife is much less of a gun enthusiast than myself. In fact, my wife even ended up taking one of their concealed carry courses a few months ago and picked herself up a Ruger LCR. Interestingly, the family and I ventured up to Raleigh and Charlotte for a few weekends earlier this year. At the irritation of my wife, I stopped in a few of the supposedly better gun stores in both cities. Every time I asked one of the employees if they knew of any other really good gun stores, they gave me the info to Ed's all 4 four times! I found this crazy as we were over an hour away each time. You'd think each of these cities would have a few of their own "good" gun stores... Apparently, Ed's Gun Shop has quite the reputation even outside of the local area. I was impressed. I cannot say enough good things about this place. Check it out!

The service was friendly but scarce…read more Selection wasn't any better than a decent pawn shop and prices were definitely at a premium. I was going to spend almost $700 on a new pistol and ammunition, but they only had one of the particular model I wanted and it was the wrong variation. That wasn't even an issue for me, but when I asked about ordering the one I wanted, it wasn't an option. I thought that was odd, but I guess they didn't need the business and I wasn't going to argue. I went elsewhere and got exactly what I wanted.
