Love these guys, they're super helpful and can explain anything you need. The shop is small but perfect, and they're willing to work with you to order anything they don't have in stock. They also have a nice consignment rack if you're looking to penny-pinch a bit. I've bought multiple things from them, and I will keep coming back. T read more

Great selection and great service. A local hidden treasure. I make sure to visit them regularly.

Went to fill out a silencer application since they are a silencer shop representative they wanted to charge me forty dollars for the use of their kiosk. since I was not buying it through them. looks like they down sized since I was there last they will probably have to down size again with that attitude, found another one that let use their kiosk free. read more

Mike was great to work with, chill straightforward guy. My transfer was ready to go and answered any questions I had. Great selection of firearms to choose from also. Even showed my gun dog some love. What else is there to say! I'll be back for sure. Thanks Mike! read more

Herndon Arms - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

Transferred my AR from Vegas to VA and used Herndon firearms. Staff was very helpful and made it very simple and easy.

Got my last suppressor and the made everything easy. The entire team is friendly and helpful. Def going back!

Gun owner is terrific. His shop is very nice, a lot of inventory for such a small shop. I think the owner is what makes this shopa great shop. He likes guns and likes helping folks with guns. My wife and I came in and despite having people in the shop he still was gracious enough to answer my questions. Buy from him! read more

Been in and out of the store for a few years now. Both Chris and Mike are probably some of the most knowledgeable guys in the area. If you're looking to do any kind of build or need advice on where to get parts these guys will go out of their way to help you find what you need and even order stuff directly to the store for you. In addition, they also have a Silencershop kiosk in the store, they've helped both me and a few other friends buy our first suppressors and walked us through the entire process from beginning to end very thoroughly. Based on some of these reviews I'm reading, yeah you may find stuff cheaper else ware, but building a relationship with a local small business is invaluable given so many in the NOVA area have gone in the past year. Just look at what happened in Manassas. I would happily give a small store some extra $$ for accessories to support a growing community of gun owners than buy it from a big outlet. These guys actually go out and train and test platforms and builds all year round so you don't waste your money (just look at the builds they have on display in the store). They've been spot on with all their recommendations and this will continue to be my go to shop in the area. Highly recommend! read more

Great FFL and gun shop in the Northern Virginia area. They've always got a great selection of cool and unique firearms as well as accessories and ammo on hand. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about firearms and are always helpful with any questions I've had in the many times visiting the shop. read more

I had some spare time to do some window shopping and I wanted to check out the Herndon than shop nice location and for personal reasons having a basement gun shop brings back warm memories of nostalgia. The marketing gimmicks that leave you down to the basement retail shop certainly have a nice charm especially the poster for colion noir I noticed a marlin model 60 with press check are you in the woods and vintage half inch diameter scope. I know that Ruger in acquiring Marlene will not be making this firearm anymore competes with their 1022 I get that however this is not a $900 plus firearm. Maybe perhaps $400 but mostly like $300 this is evidence of price gouging The young clerk that was behind the counter when I asked him about an Iver Johnson revolver had some challenges even pronouncing the name and couldn't identify the ammunition that was chambered in this revolver. He could've offered to look it up online or in a firearms book so I didn't show a lot of knowledge or willingness to acquire knowledge. $47 for a firearm transfer fee is very steep and at that price I would beat feet and find somebody else including willing to drive more than an hour the places that doesn't vouch for this kind of service I've noticed other similar comments that I'm making the price gouging so I thought I'd add my two cents read more

Oh I was able to purchase a couple of handguns here and I took the concealed weapons course here. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. The owners are fantastic,caring and really know their stuff. read more

Avoid like the plague. Just straight up jerks. Way overpriced. (I mean incredibly overpriced.) Just go someplace where they actually don't think they are doing you a favor by letting you buy a gun. I'll never do business with them. read more

Literally an embarrassment to the gun community. The tiniest shop with 10 employees over my shoulder asking if I want purchase every gun I happen to glance at. On top of that the prices were so insanely obnoxious I swear they had to be joking. $900 for a standard g19?? They must be out of their mind for a product that MSRP got $540 Would give zero stars if I could read more

First time today I found this shop. It's a Awesome shop with a owner who knows his stuff and has a lot of cool new, old and some hard to find firearms. Has a nice selection of mags and accessories for not a big shop it has a ton of stuff. They do it all from transfers, NFA items ect. read more

These guys are the very definition of "Price Gouging" . I am very familiar with the firearms industry and I stay up to date with the market. These guys are plainly taking advantage of people who are not well versed in the gun community. Magazines for quadruple the normal price, pistols sold for double the price, Accessories massively upcharged. I don't require any friendly small talk or false hospitality and i'm fine with a gun shop being straight up and getting you out with what you need at a decent price but these guys are just sleazy. I have used their ffl transfer service a couple of times due to them being close to my workplace. I will never return out of principle. read more

Terrible customer service. Owner (?) sales agent (?) couldn't have been less friendly. Save your time and energy, lots of friendlier locations to do business with out there. No need to give your time/money to this jackass. read more

Big thank you to Herndon Arms for making my first suppressor purchase smooth and simple. The workers know their stuff when it comes to anything about guns and suppressors. They walked me through the entire process and helped with whatever questions I had. I submitted the eform for my Wolfman September 3rd 2022 and was approved April 19th 2023. I recommend doing your research on the different mounts you'll need for specific guns during your waiting period. I also looked at a bunch of unboxing videos on the wolfman and noticed it's doesn't come with any mounts. But when I went to pick up my wolfman, Herndon Arms included a Key-Micro adapter and Key-Micro muzzle brake with it which was awesome and saved me $300.00. Thanks again Herndon Arms! Will definitely be back for my second suppressor. read more

Young lady answered the phone was very nice. I had some questions about some gunsmithing services I need, simple drill and tap 4 holes, and after finally getting her to understand what I was asking for she then had to go and ask the gunsmith who apparently doesn't do any drilling or tapping of any kind. Nothing bad here just don't post up that you offer gunsmithing services when the very basics, drilling and tapping, are not anything that you can offer. I would understand if I was asking you to ream a barrel or some super custom request, but 5 holes drilled and tapped shouldn't be that difficult. read more

Not sure where these low rating are coming from...y'all can go somewhere else they don't need your business. I've done 4 FFL transfers through Herndon Arms and "shot the sh*t" with them each time while waiting and they're nothing but professional. Got some great people working there. Are some prices high? Maybe a little..on some stuff...it's called supply and demand. Learned about that in elementary school! If you want to go in person and be able to talk guns and accessories with people who know what their talking about and actually give a F, Herndon Arms is nothing but great. To all these KARENS out there giving 1 stars, maybe YOU'RE the problem. Kick rocks...these guys have a solid business and so close to home for me. read more

The team members at Herndon Arms deserve far more praise than I'm able condense into a few sentences but, I'll try. To say that Mike is a helpful, knowledgeable team member would be an understatement of epic proportions. On my very first visit, both Mike and Chris(owner) went far out of their way to make certain that a I was provided with an experience unlike many of their competitors. They aren't like many of the gun stores, we've all been to, with team members that ooze an air of superiority, waiting to pounce on anyone who would dare to say "clip" instead of "mag". The team at Herndon Arms will instead help you feel comfortable and certain about the firearm you're purchasing. Consummate professionals all. I won't go anywhere else from here on out. read more

Walked in today not knowing anything about guns. Mike was super helpful and informative. He asks the right questions and helps you think through what you're actually looking for. He's also not trying to upsell or BS you. He's straightforward and honest about guns in whatever your price range. (I stated it upfront.) In fact, of the two handguns, I was interested in, he persuaded me to the lower-priced model (nearly $100 cheaper!). He helped me figure out what I wanted at a price I was comfortable with. If you're new to this, as I was, Mike and his store is a great place to start. It also feels great to support a local business in these trying times. Highly recommend! read more

I found great service, knowledgeable staff enthusiastic about responsible gun ownership, and the supplies I needed. I will definitely return and would definitely recommend them. read more

Mike and John are excellent to work with. Mike's the guy there 99% of the time. John covers Wednesdays. You're not going to find a better dynamic duo. I have always had a positive experience here even when I show up 5 minutes to close. Buy from them. Buy from them now. read more

Great shop with an A+ supplier. The item I was looking for had a wait list at most other shops in the area. Herndon Arms had one in stock for me. Will definitely be back for my next purchase read more

I come to this store frequently, and I've never left disappointed. I would definitely say that is is definitely the best shop in the area, especially with their helpful an knowledgeable staff. Definitely worth a stop by any day. read more

Staff was super helpful and knowledgeable! They took the time to explain each firearm to me (the ones I was interested in purchasing) and made sure I understood how to use it. Great people, would definitely recommend this place. Only issue I have is that I do feel their products are a little overpriced but with the exceptional customer service you receive I think it's worth it. read more

The lady answered the phone has some serious issues, zero professionalism. I'm a potential customer, not your emotional punching bag that you take your problems out on. That your psychologist. read more

Herndon Arms has a wide selection of custom and standard firearms with a very knowledgeable and professional staff. The prices can be a bit on the higher side, but the convenience of having a local store with everything you may need is worth it. I have had many positive experiences with this store and look forward to doing more business in the future. read more

Great experience with ffl transfer and have purchased a couple of "arms" from them. Good customer service and business.

Chris was super helpful when I came into the store. He helped me make my purchase. He answered all my questions and was super knowledgeable of every platform I asked him about. Glad I could support local business. Highly recommended. read more

I called to see what they were selling the sig p365 for. The guy who answered quoted me a price $50 higher than sig's suggested retail. After I asked if he'd come closer to a price I had gotten from another dealer, he laughed at me and hung up the phone. I will never set foot in Herndon Arms. read more

I have been a customer at Herndon Arms and can't say enough about this little shop. Good selection of product and what they don't have in stock, they order quickly. Manager Mike Capps is very helpful and knowledgeable about all 2A stuff. Prices are fair and they are easy to deal with on transfers and FFA items that I've bought there. read more
