I was allowed to take my time with the gun. Once I made up my mind to purchase the gun I was immediately helped with instructions on the necessary paperwork.

I am happy to support and patronize such a fine establishment.

Their prices are high on ammo but everyone has also raised their prices with this shortage. Never before seen high ammo prices that were much lower just 3 or 4 months ago. Plenty of options for holsters and a large assortment of knives. Their customer service was ok. It wasn't a comfortable atmosphere. But they have what you need for what you're looking for. Many items for police, personal homeowners & security personnel. If you need it they do have it here. Just at a slightly higher price.

The staff is extremely knowledgeable, eager to help you out, & they stand behind the products they sell. Despite countless other shops being much closer to me I will always make the 45+ minute drive down there, they are my go-to for any & all of my needs. I had to bring back 2 firearms on separate visits for both. On the first visit they fixed it right there on the spot. The 2nd visit they said it would be about 1-2 weeks due to their current workload-completely reasonable. That following day I got a call from them informing me it was all fixed & that I could come pick it up! Thank you to everyone down there!

The place is clean and large, the selection is vast. The issue is after the purchase and going to this DMV style room with these miserable people that are processing the last portion of your purchase is horrific! It's worse than the DMV because these people are packing. During my last visit there I was made to wait for an additional hour and a half just to get some paperwork processed. They also processed at least four people that started waiting after I arrived. The woman was constantly panting and is clearly distress, she should be employed elsewhere where she doesn't have to deal with the public. I went with a friend who was impressed by the level of care and service on the sale side, but horrified and will never buy from the store now because of the experience after.

The guys behind the counter are very professional, knowledgeable, and welcoming to everyone walking through the front door. I've been to smaller shops and larger ones; I'd say that there's a good chance they can steer a customer in the right direction with stock on-hand, and absolutely will order from their distributor anything they don't. There's also a selection of used (yellow tag) items for sale, as well as consignment items (green tag) for sale as well. Like most gun store owners, they're a bit wary of new customers coming through the door, but after you get to know them, they will absolutely be there for you with any advice and help to make sure you're satisfied and safe. Really appreciate having a store like this, unlike some others in Connecticut that make you feel like you're doing them a favor being a customer. No range on the premises, there are some nearby such as Wolf's (which gets my thumbs up) where you can try out before you buy.
