I am a gunsmith, former policeman, & former military officer. I have, in the course of my career, dealt with stores, dealers, & collectors in Europe, Australia, & the U.S. In my opinion, the folks at Jackson Armory are very knowledgeable, courteous, & helpful. They will answer any questions with honesty & insight. There are bigger stores. But none with better- informed experts on site. 5 stars plus. read more

Visited 2 weeks ago after lunch with daughter who just moved to Dallas. My daughter found a great old rifle from the 1800's. Mr. Jackson told us history of the use and we purchased to hang over my Desk in Memphis. Lot of inventory for collectors at any level to enjoy! I'll be back on my next trip:-) read more

I called the shop asking for something relatively specific, was told to email them and they would send what they had. I emailed them, two days pass without reply so I call back. The guy on the other end puts the phone down and I hear him calling across the store that it's "that jackass calling again about ____". The two guys then comment about how the phone isn't on hold after realizing I probably heard them insult me for following up with them about something I heard they might have. They actually had pretty much what I was looking for but 0% chance I would ever buy anything from these people. I don't expect to be insulted for following up on potential business. Unbelievable. read more

If into old military rifles you found the place if looking handguns or ammo they don't have much. Super small and super sleepy. Greet by an old man no one else said a word to me. read more

I have made multiple vintage and antique firearms purchases over the years and had them shipped to me. The guys there have always been friendly and professional and they shipped out the same day or very next day after the purchase. They have great prices on their firearms and a large selection in stock. read more

Very interesting place and great selection of collectible arms. I will go back and spend more time.

They have so many very interesting old and new(er) pieces that your eyes will move in two different directions trying to absorb it all when you walk in. The owner has a lot of knowledge on many subjects. Be prepared to spend a lot of time looking at their offerings. Bring your high limit credit card because you will find all of the interesting stuff you wanted to buy for the last 30 years here. read more

I've used Jackson Armory as a FFL transfer dealer on multiple occasions over the past 20 years. I have always been treated courteously and with respect. Since it's a small store, I try to avoid going there on Saturdays. I typically go when they first open at 10:00 am on Tues, Wed, or Thurs. At those times, there is plenty of parking and not too busy. All the men who work there are very knowledgeable and helpful to me. I'm headed there this morning to pick up a pistol I ordered online. I'm also taking several firearms with me to get their perspective and ballpark value estimate. They are serious about their business. It's 10:00 am so I'm headed out the door to Jackson Armory. read more

Went in to look at a specific gun I'd seen on gunbroker since I'm local. I talked to Kevin. He must be the rude one others have referred to or there is more than one So after looking at the MRC Creedmoor I'd come to see I offer him $950, its listed in store at $1350, but starting bid on gunbroker is $1050. He says that is a loss and he can do $1300. When I point out that it's on gunbroker for $1050 he cuts me off, makes a talking motion with his hand, and tells me I can keep talking but nothing is changing. I turned around and walked out. Won't ever go back there again. I know the type. He doesn't care what anyone thinks, which is a type I don't do business with. I'm also not going to pay $250 more for the same gun just because I walked into the store instead of buying online. read more

Awesome gun shop. Doc is really amazing. He has great insights and is pleasant to deal with!

Very accommodating. I called and asked how much they would charge for appraisals and was told that they don't do them. Sam said that I could take them in or send photos of them and they would let me know the value of the gun. I asked how much that would cost and Sam said nothing. I told him that you never hear that these days. This place just became my gun shop. read more

Jackson Armory is, by far, the finest collectible gun shop in Dallas. The expert knowledge of the guys is second to none, the best thing is, they all have a specific field of expertise and will not only guide you but, if you are willing, educate you on what you should look for. And , did I mention their inventory? They have collectible firearms and militaria you won't find anywhere else. Do yourself a favor and go to Jackson Armory, you won't be disappointed. read more

Great assortment of weapons, almost felt I was in a museum. I talked to a couple of gentlemen and both quite friendly. One took the time to show me around and told me of stories of the memorabilia they had. Lots of folks kept coming in, and it was a little tight in moving about the store. A large assortment of firearms from different time may be felt I was in a museum. They treated me quite well and were attentive to my business. I will go back. read more

I've been going to Jackson Armory since 2005. Great group of knowledgeable people to deal with and I've always had a very positive experience. I have never seen them ignore or be rude to anyone. I would highly recommend them, as I am sure of the honesty, service and professionalism all customers receive. read more

I visited the store and was treated like they were not interested or too busy. One of the owners was speaking with me and just cut me off and started helping another person while I was left standing in the area. I finally just left as it was obvious there was not going to be any customer assistance. Good luck with that business model! read more

You've heard all the great reviews of the store and it is a fantastic place to spend an hour or two if you're like me. You will wish you had more money. Good people; true military gun guys. read more

My husband has been a customer at Jackson Armory for years and I still fondly recall the first time he brought me here. If you like old firearms this place is a visual feast! Jackson Armory has a wide selection of vintage and modern firearms packed into their small storefront and there's always something interesting to find here. The employees are a bunch of friendly gun aficionados, very knowledgeable and willing to talk about anything and everything in the store. We've done a bit of gun trading here over the last couple of years and always come out with an equitable deal where everyone is happy with the exchange. I've never been here on a day it wasn't busy and yet the employees are always attentive. Jackson Armory is a real gem and I highly recommend them for any gun-related business you wish to conduct--buying, selling, trading, gunsmithing services, shipping to an FFL, really good conversation, etc. Go check them out! read more

These guys have an amazing selection of vintage guns and a room dedicated for the display and sale of old books. I could easily spend a couple of hours in here, even though the shop is fairly small. Best part for me is that Brandon Luter of Luter Armory, a gunsmith who specializes in vintage guns, is here every Saturday. Last year, he cleaned and checked out a family heirloom Savage 1907 that I thought was just going to be a keepsake and got it to working condition, so I brought him another family hand-me-down in a Colt revolver to clean and check out. My visits have only been on Saturdays and they always have a small crowd there talking about various old guns dating back to every war in America. If you're looking for something off the beaten path to do and are in the area of Snider Plaza, stop by. It's an education and definitely something you won't see every day. read more

See all

Used Jackson Armory as my FFL for an online purchase. Ended up chatting with a guy named Kevin who works at the shop for 45 minutes. Kevin was very helpful in educating me on some of the more nuanced rules of the NFA. Had a great time at the shop and can't wait to go back when we get this COVID virus under better control. read more

I used Jackson's Armory as an FFL recently. Really nice, knowledgeable people. They opened my purchase with me to inspect that it was what I had ordered, was in good condition, and had everything it was supposed to have with it. They also told me key points regarding the gun. It's a really cool shop with so many interesting things. I definitely recommend Jackson's Armory. read more

I have been sticking head into Jackson Armory since I was a student at SMU in 1980. 38 years later, this incredible institution still has the most breathtaking collection of antique and collectible firearms outside of a museum you can ever see. They buy and sell firearms, and as a professional in the firearms trade, I can personally assure that anyone who chooses to buy or sell from Jackson Armory will be treated fairly and honestly. I routinely refer my clients with antique weapons to Jackson for an accurate and honest evaluation, or to sell or buy firearms.

One of the men working was quite rude and dismissive, guns are overpriced. I asked for a gun around $500 he said we don't have anything near that and went back to what he was doing. The other gentleman working was much more helpful but already had a customer he was working with. read more

I drove from San Antonio to check this place out, I'm on their website every night checking out the Awsome inventory. They buzz u in so I wait at the door, was in the store 15 min not one person said hi how are you can I help you, not one word to me, in fact I was very much in their way, they would squeeze by me without even saying excuse me, totally in their way hahahah I'll never go back. I do recommend their variety it's impressive, had 4 grand cash to spend too. Oh well read more

Nothing short of a fantastic experience with these folks. Great to work with, reasonable prices, safe and fast shipping. Give them a look. I'm glad I did. read more

There was one nice older gentleman/surgeon but everything else was horrible! I went in with my family. We told an employee our price range, he said, not here and tried to send us out the door...should have left then but then we saw guns in our $ range and we stayed to look around. Seems he wanted us out before we began shopping. My little one went to RR with me. Dad had to go a few minutes later and we told him it was in back hall. He came back a second later and said we were being thrown out of the store! I thought he was joking but a man was standing behind him with his hands in his pockets, where his gun was. He said my husband took a wrong turn and he should have known better, since my girl went to RR earlier. He did not see where we had gone. I apologized and said I was sure it was an honest mistake. My husband is one of the most upstanding men I know but we were "thrown out"/ really we left ourselves because the situation quickly became scary!!! I do not recommend, very rude. May have even been a racist situation. My husband is darker. The worker did not yell but hands in pockets while getting heated...it's a gun store, employees should not come across threatening ever and I was with my child! read more
