Pete is a pleasure to work with and to do business with, and I highly recommend his shop whether you're a first time buyer or already experienced with firearms. The entire purchasing process is set up more like a consultation, where your needs are top priority and is accommodated to the best his ability. As someone with limited experience, I appreciate the fact that time was taken to ask me fact finding questions to get to know me and what I'm looking for in a purchase. The process is not rushed, and it also feels like a safety course as well, as Pete is takes great care in handling each firearm and teaches you as well on how to handle them with the most important safety measures that one should always follow. I haven't even completed the buying process, as of the writing of this review, but felt compelled to give credit where credit is due. If you are looking to purchase any firearm, or accessories, you cannot go wrong with going to Pistol Pete's. I'm sure you'll have a fantastic experience, as I did, and am currently in the process of finishing, and you'll walk away feeling confident with the knowledge that was passed on to you and also with the actual products purchased. Pete will answer all of your questions, take the time to share safety information, make recommendations, based on his many years of experience, and all in all, it makes for a very satisfying experience. Just make sure you call to make an appointment, as this is a big reason as to why the buying experience is superior to other stores, as it's only be appointment and you'll be the only customer at that time slot and have all the time that you need in order to make the best decision possible! I'll be sure to update this with added details as I complete the process all of the way, but based on how terrific this has been so far, I see nothing but more positive experiences while the buying process finishes up for me. Thanks, Pete, for all of your help and consideration in sharing knowledge and information. I'll highly recommend you to anyone I know who is looking for an amazing purchasing experience! read more

Excellent Service, I highly recommend Pistol Pete's Did a search for a local gun shop in South Jersey and came across Pistol Pete's. I emailed Pete to see if he had any of the handguns on my soon to be owned list and got a reply within hours. After several emails back and forth we agreed to a day and time for me to come pick up a VP9. I didn't know what to expect when I arrived as his office/gun store is basically part of the office for his auto repair business but I was very pleasantly surprised by Pete's professionalism, the personal attention and his obvious passion for the shooting sports. He had a great selection, took the time to answer all of my questions, then let me handle anything in his safe and we had a great conversation while doing so. I can honestly say if it wasn't for me wanting to see almost his entire selection, I would have been in and out in about 20 mins. Pete was organized, efficient and extremely easy to deal with. That day he made a customer for life- or at least until I leave this state. Honestly the deal I got was very very good, in fact, better than online prices for the same piece. Now knowing what I do about Pete's even if I have to pay a little more to support his business I will because of the service I received that day. Having a real conversation with a real gentleman is worth a few dollars more. Pistol Pete's is definitely where I will go to buy my firearms. And on the off chance there's a deal online he can't beat, Pete will do all of my transfers. Thanks for the service Pete and like I said when we shook hands on the way out. I'll see you in a month. Thanks again, Brad. read more

I cannot say enough good things about my experience at Pistol Pete's Gun Shop. As someone buying their first firearm, I was not sure what to expect, but Pistol Pete made the entire process comfortable and stress free. He gave me his full attention, patiently answered all my questions, and made thoughtful recommendations based on what I needed. Even after I made my purchase, he took the time to show me how to safely operate, disassemble, and reassemble the firearm. He also helped me find and apply for manufacturer rebates I was eligible for, which saved me some money too. The shop is very safe, welcoming, and professional. Make an appointment before you go. That is how he is able to give you the time and focus that this kind of purchase deserves. It really makes a difference to have that one on one attention, especially as a first time buyer. I will definitely be coming back for future purchases and would recommend Pistol Pete's to anyone looking for expert guidance and a great experience. read more
