Just a knife collector here.... if you are looking for anything from a plain EDC pocket knife to tactical / self defense knives, I must say that Gene's HGS gun store has an excellent selection of pocket knives. I've been to most knife shops in Honolulu, and Gene has by far the best selection when it comes to automatic OTFs (out-the-front), flippers, manual folders, and fixed blades. Sure there are other stores with a larger quantity of knives than HGS, but Gene seems to have picked the best in terms of both the high end (Microtech) and affordable/mid-priced (Cobra Tec) categories. Check them out, conveniently located at the intersection of Sand Island Rd and Nimitz Hwy. Then there are the hand guns and rifles! Looks to me like he has a super selection of the Best firearms money can buy! Highly recommended! read more

HGS was great! Very welcoming and friendly staff that seem to work great with shooters at all skill levels. I did both the handgun safety permit course with them and bought at HGS shortly after completing. They have a large inventory compared to many shops in HI and were able to provide exactly what I was looking for. read more

GREAT PLACE!! GENE is knowledgeable with firearms amongst other things. The Cheapest in the island . I have been purchasing my stuff with HGS for a while. They also have classes. read more

It was a little hard to find. just remember to take the first street on right as you turn onto Sand Island road then an immediate right into the first cluster of buildings. HGS's front door is facing east, facing Sandisland road, behind the fence. Lots of goodies at this shop, I was looking for a CCW holster for my gun and found one with a suede skin against my body... nice. The owner is very knowledgeable and explained the pros and cons for the choices he had available. He priced me an AR15 rifle for a better price than one other shop. Bear in mind that it may not be and apples to apples comparison in terms of features. Recommended? Yes indeed. read more

The wife and I, visited HGS for the first time to check out the store. I can say I have never felt more welcomed in a Gun store on Oahu. I have been to many where it feels like you are just being judged and rushed. They were very helpful in answering questions. I think for us new gun owners, or returning gun owners we all have lots of questions to ask or curious about a lot of things, and it's important to feel comfortable, and not feel stupid when asking. They have pretty good parking right in front of the shop, which is super important to me. I will be doing my business here from now on. Thanks read more

Best gun shop in the area! Customer service is on point and newly remodeled space feels very clean and sanitary, they follow strict COVID guidelines, wears a mask, takes temperature, and limits the time spend shopping to 15 minutes. Very helpful and knowledgeable on anything you'd want to know from making a first time purchase to experienced and taking a step in building your own rifle or customizing your current one. Ammo is in stock which is great to practice your fundamentals and get reps in. Eugene and his staff are all super friendly and skilled in anything you might have questions about. Definitely recommend if you need a first step in purchasing a firearm or knowledge about it. read more

HGS is my go to store for my firearms, supplies and accessories whenever I'm in town. The staff is knowledgeable, professional and helpful. I travel to Hawaii frequently and it's great to have a place I can rely on to obtain the things I need so whenever I get into town, I'm not scrambling around to find what I need. They'll have things held for me so I'm in and out of there quickly. I've been shooting since the late 70's and I've dealt with a lot of gun shops and box store suppliers. There are plenty out there that would profile you as you walk in. The staff of HGS never made me feel uncomfortable or unwelcome. Their location is not as easy to find but once you've figured out how to get there, it becomes second nature. read more

Great selection and awesome service. I was greeted as I entered the store. Cool firearms for sale. Got what I went there for.

The staff at HGS are very friendly and helpful and have great customer service. The store is easy to drive to with lots of parking around. They have a good inventory of products. When I emailed them the day before they got back to me within minutes. I definitely plan to do a lot more business here. read more

I use to go to his old location before he moved to Sand Island. Fair and reasonable pricing. The man has an exqusite taste in gun selection. A lot of ammo in stock and accessories. He's got things in stock that other competitors dont have. Normally, you go into a LGS and buy just one item but when you're at his business you end up buying more items. I've had a few guns on consignment with him and went all well. I recommend people to check them out. Knowledgable and helpful staff. He posts on his Instagram and he responds to your inquiries. read more

Gene recently just opened up his own gun shop located in the middle of salt lake industrial. He has a lot of knowledge about firearms since he used to work at OGC. It is a very new business but Gene can definitely help you out with whatever you want in the firearm world. If he doesn't have it in the shop he is more than willing to order products for you. They have competitive prices so go and check them out read more

HGS - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I came to HGS in search of a specific item. Low and behold, Gene had it in stock and for the best price I have seen. He beat all prices both online and in other stores. Not only was he very patient with me as I became extremely indecisive with another item, but he allowed me to stay, talk, and get a feel for both before making my decision. I probably spent about 2 to 3 hours and made no purchase at the time as i was still unsure. However, I came back with my decision and the transaction was so simple and smooth. His shop isn't crazy big like some of the others, but he has some of the best inventory on island with a huge variety and selection. He also has new inventory coming in every week so you see new inventory everytime you walk in. I'm definitely going to be a recurring customer and have recommended him and his shop to many of my friends. Much mahalos for everything Gene!! read more

The ONLY place I go to for all my firearms needs in Hawaii. The owner Gene is so knowledgeable about everything firearms and is willing to help everyone whether you're new to the sport or well seasoned. His prices are competitive and he doesn't leave room for any BS. He even offers hand gun safety courses and conceal carry classes . HGS is your one stop shop for everything firearms! If you're looking for a customized piece or more specifically 1911s, Gene is the man to go to and even has the hookups for cerakote! I've done a couple of custom builds through HGS and couldn't be more happy! read more

Great assortment of accessories. Gene even went out of his way to size my rifle strap for me since we are basically the same height. Nice touch! He's extremely patient with his customers even knowing he has a line of people outside his shop due to the pandemic (scamdemic) Not worried about the price of his gun collection and ammo supply. The profit margins on firearms are notoriously slim and he has to make a profit. He has a loyal following because he does his best to take care of his customers. He has my 5 stars and will always have my business. read more

Started shopping here pre pandemic. Always friendly and very knowledgable. Even during the pandemic, they've adapted to required safety measures and still provide good prices, excellent knowledge and amazing service. read more

The first time I visited this place, I had also visited (3) other shops the very same week. This was the first shop that had anything remotely close to what I was searching for. I picked up a Romanian AK47 & a Bushmaster. The staff was super knowledgeable and they had answers for every one of my questions. I didn't feel pressured to purchase anything but the prices were so reasonable, I went back a week later just to stock up on ammo. There's usually a line outside but it just goes to show how in demand their products are and how loyal their clientele. I would 10/10 recommend HGS; I follow their content on Instagram religiously for updates on new products. They will definitely be one of my first go to places from now on. read more

I've only been (1) time to pick up ammo. The workers were polite. They post a lot of their new stock on Instagram which is super cool. Would definitely shop there again. Parking a little tricky but hey the norm in Hawaii. read more

Been here a few times and have bought firearms and ammos. Gene the owner is very knowledgeble and was instrumental on the choices and selection on my purchases. Very humble and no preasures, the prices are unbeatable. I will always come back for more. read more

Myself and my brother visited Gene's gun shop. I am not very knowledgeable about guns but my brother is. Even with a small shop my brother stated that HGS is very well stocked with quality merchandise and the basic essentials. Gene's knowledge of firearms will be a great asset to all who share an interest in guns. read more

The staff has always been helpful and knowledgeable. I feel welcomed when I go there and they seem to be the best source for hard to find ammo on island at fair prices. I never feel rushed or that I am just another customer. They are on IG and post regularly, hgs1911. I have sent questions through IG and gotten a response. read more

Been in a few times since finding them and love the positive helpful atmosphere. Often a unique selection of guns that others don't carry. Questions? They have answers. I'll be back again soon. read more

This is perhaps my most frequently visited gun store. They offer a very fun and educational handgun safety course. The greatest thing though is the friendly staff. I walk in, have a quick chat, and walk out with exactly what I needed. Pricing is pretty decent as well, I usually check out their on sale stuff on Instagram. Gene is always pretty chill, answers all the questions very professionally. read more

Friendly staff, and great prices. They have a good variety of firearms and equipment. Very helpful. Mahalo!

Gene is incredibly patient with first time Gun buyers. Very informative, and helpful with explaining the state process(the the state doesn't explain at all) He's also very fair, and clear on pricing. Helpful in locating and ordering if he doesn't have the firearm you want. Timely and also open communication during the process. I shopped 4 stores on Oahu and found HGS to have the best pricing. The whole country has awful availability so that's no one's fault. Looking forward to going back. read more

I never write reviews, but I highly recommend this place for anyone with even the slightest interest in firearms. Welcoming to those new to hobby, the customer is more important than making a sale, and the staff is very knowledgeable and willing to share their smarts with newbies like myself. Gene, Brian, and James were very approachable, and willing to answer all the questions I had. No pressure in selling like many places I've been to. Aside from knowledge, if theres something you're looking for, Gene can help you find it. Had help for most of the guns I bought. Definitely check this place out and meet these cool folks. You wont regret it. read more

1st time going here today. I'm glad I found this shop!!! Really knowledgeable on what your needs are and willing to take the time to explain in detail. The customer service was outstanding!!! I will be a loyal customer!!! Mahaloz again HGS!!! read more

Great gun, accessories and supply store. I have an affinity for small shops and Gene's shop fits the bill. Quiet, and a good listener, in my opinion is a mark of a successful store and a smart store owner. He has a limited, yet impressive selection of long guns and fire arms. He is well stocked in accessories. And he has connections on the island to other gun related services and has the working and scholastic knowledge on firearms. This makes purchasing what one needs that much more relaxing and with confidence. As written, the store is small but what one gets when leaving, in my opinion, is a positive experience. read more

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff! Been there three times now and purchased 2 firearms from them. Both times they really helped me make an informed purchase. No pressure sales or upselling of unnecessary products. Great inventory available as well! I'd highly recommend stopping by here if you're in the market for a new firearm! read more

A lot of places on the island to satisfy your needs....this is a one stop shop. Gene has the best prices and the best attitude. Whatever you need he'll set you up with. Can't say enough good things about this place read more

Gene is a great guy who truly cares about the second amendment community in Hawaii, I am a frequent customer at HGS and have always paid fair prices there. The employees as well as gene have always helped out immediately with questions I've had and if they did not have something in stock they will text or call me when it has arrived. Overall great store highly recommend it for all of your firearms needs support local businesses and support our 2A community Mahalo!!! read more

The staff was very helpful with our questions and did not make me and my fiancé feel like we were an irritation. Very appreciative as we were new to the gun buying process with COVID and they took their time to invest in making sure we got what we want. Quality customer service hands down read more

I visited HGS today for the first time because I am ready to by a handgun for the first time and I work in Mapunapuna. Gene was very attentive, helpful, and didn't have an attitude because he's an expert and I know nothing. He was really busy and was able to help all five people in the shop at the same time. It was a great first experience. I am definitely going back to buy a gun here. I also found out that he has training sessions available as well. read more
