I had a chicka-plow shipped here for an FFL transfer, and lemme tell ya. I'm a black woman walking into a sporting goods store, and everybody there... isn't, if you understand where I'm coming from. However, they were all business and friendly. I told them what I was there for, and they pointed the way to the second floor. All concerns were out the door at that point, except for my fear of heights, but I made it. Anyways, it took maybe all of 10 minutes, $60, and I was out the door with my goods. I'll likely go back there for all the other accessories, holsters, etc. They have an excellent selection for pretty much anything you're into, and the prices seemed to be on par with expectations. I would highly recommend. read more

High praise for the staff handling my recent FFL transfer. Zack and Tim in the firearms room were friendly, helpful and well informed. Zack processed me through the paperwork very efficiently and gave me a brief instructional session on my new Colt 1911, as I had not used one since Army days in the 1960s. Altogether my best gun store experience. read more

I've been going to Puglia's for 40 years. I bought my first shotgun here in the '80s. They've always had a great selection of guns and fishing tackle. They have the good stuff!!! If you want a bargain product, go to Academy or Wal Mart. The staff hunt and fish so they're able to steer you to what you need. I've been treated well upstairs and downstairs. Watch the parking, it tight!! read more

This is a great shop for fishing gear on the first floor and guns on the second. Decent prices and helpful service staff.

Nothing like coming in and going upstairs to see what optics for rifles are in stock. And the employee working be a true turd and just spewing zero knowledge in regards to optics placement and uses in AR platforms. He was telling me this wknd that because scopes with powers like 3-10/12 wont fit well on and AR10 platform. Because of the larger openings on the barrel end, they cause the shooter to have to raise his head up, almost off the stock, to get a good line of site. He was telling me that for the AR platform, regardless of caliber, a 1-6/8 scope with the smaller diameter tube towards the barrel are specifically designed to keep ur head down and level on the butt stock. Dude may want to do some actual true research and gain actual knowledge cause that's false info to customers to try and push products. I have multiple AR-10 platforms like the one pictured and hmmmmmm no issues. read more

See all

Place is awesome and the staff is very helpful and polite. Two employees over the course of a week helped decide on two CC but was tired of Glock. So I Bought it the other day. Got the Sp3654 XL now and read more

This is my go to gun store. The staff is extremely knowledgeable about firearms ,and they have a great selection of firearms and firearm accessories. read more

Puglia's is a great local sporting goods store. It looks like they have a great selection of sporting goods, but I was interested in the upstairs firearms section. I was interested in a very specific high end pistol. Puglia's was the only shop in the city with one in stock. The staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. The price was fair and since I knew exactly what I wanted the process was quick and painless. If your in the market for a quality firearm, Puglia's is the place. read more

Puglia's Sporting Goods - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

They've got some pretty cool guns I actually bought one for a pretty decent price too

Great sporting goods store here, and a breath of fresh air from the usual big box stores. The staff were clearly enthusiastic about outdoors sports, and their product selection ranged from the usual to the eclectic. I appreciated their selection of handmade knives and picked one out to bring home as a useful souvenir from Louisiana. I'll definitely be back on my next trip! read more

Bought a new shotgun from these fellows a couple of days back and had a great experience. I told them what my criteria and budget was and the gentlemen in the firearms section showed me the three or four which met my criteria. They were knowledgeable and happy to answer my questions. I'll be going back for sure in the near future. read more

Above and beyond. I've been buying baits and lures at Puglia's for a few years. Always good tackle and stock. But my best experience was buying a reel from Anthony over the phone when I couldn't find the inventory anywhere else. He had it strung and ready to go within 24 hours and for almost -10% than anywhere online. Great experience to buy local and save $$. read more

This is a great locally owned and operated sporting goods store that focuses primarily on hunting and fishing. They have a limited selection of clothing items and frequently offer great sales on Colombia fishing shirts. If you need anything in the area of firearms or fishing equipment this place often has items that are difficult or impossible to find at other area stores. read more

The staff is always friendly and willing to help out. They are never out of stock on any product and usually have anything you need. They carry all the big box store products as well and many local businesses that are just taking off with their products. The prices are always reasonable and there is always a sale on their rods and reels. The hunting selection isn't the best but only because of the limited floor room. The gun counter has just about any gun you are looking for and if not, they can order it. They are very knowledgeable on both the first (fishing) floor and the second (hunting/firearm) floor. They sell plenty of ammo as well. Just about the only downside is the parking can get rough for big trucks, especially on a crowded day. read more

Good fishing shop. Lots of new products as well as some dated gear with varying price tags. Friendly service, not usually overwhelmingly busy. read more

I am a fan of this place b/c of their knowledge and visits from product reps; so I can pick their brain and get some great knowledge. Maybe call the salesmen enthusiastic, but at the end of the day they are just sales men. I told the guy I didn't want to spend over $200 on a rod and real setup. So what does he do? Show me almost $400 dollar setup...lol...but it was 20% off I did learn some things about the rod and reels he showed me but what I asked to see, (the fishing 13 omen which they had) I never did get to see. Interesting visit:) When I told the sales guy that was too much I proceeded to walk around and 3 other guys tried to help me. Maybe they were just being nice but my wife is in sales so I felt that trial/close pressure hahah! Like I mentioned they are just real enthusiastic about the sport, or they work off commission cause I feel like I was at a car dealership. read more

I grew up visiting this place and buying rifles, shotguns and fishing tackle from them. They're fishing tackle is unbelievable and I make a stop there every time I visit Home for the latest fishing equipment. read more

I visit Puglia's mostly for their firearms upstairs. The guys there are great. They are very helpful and respectful. They are always willing to help and provide good professional service. I have found a couple of high demand firearms here when no one else has had them. They have a lot of accessories and plenty of fishing gear for your liking. read more

Puglias has all kinds of fishing, hunting and sporting gear, including a nice selection of firearms upstairs. It's basically is a Metairie institution. My Dad was going there when I was just a kid. The only thing about this place I don't like is that they have so much stuff it is cluttered and hard to get around without knocking something over. The stair rail actually has sport bags hanging from it for the entire length. Firearms are upstairs. Nice people. read more

Needed a poncho for a football game. Salesman very helpful and got me in and out of there in no time and at $4 I was happy! Yay! Felt great about this place until I found out that others going to the game bought the same emergency poncho at Wal-Mart for $1. Infinitely better service that Wal-Mart (I would never have found help at Wally world, and the whole process would have taken me a half hour, compared to 3 mins). I expect to pay more for the convenience and service, however, 4X the price? I will be back, but a bit more careful! Ha! read more

Great local shop for fishing tackle. Not a hunter but it seemsthey Carry alot of that too

Great place to get your outdoor sporting goods. Friendly staff there to greet you and help find anything you are looking for. I went there to purchase a firearm which was located upstairs but it wasn't in stock.(every place i went to didn't have it) Great prices too compared to all the other places I went to. Will be coming back to this place in the future if I need anything. read more

Great place, nice selection on firearms, and nice helpful employees. I had a pistol transferred to them and they did great. Charged a little more for the pistol transfer ($45), but I was fine with that because I trusted them over other gun shops. I would recommend this place as one of the top shops in the New Orleans area. read more

Very friendly, quick, knowledgeable shop. Great gun prices and excellent staff. They even took my number and called me and were willing to stay open a lil later on an item being shipped to them that day that hadn't arrived yet. Highly recommended read more

Great outdoor selection! If you need it for the outdoors then Puglia's has it. If they don't have it, then they can get it for you. I hunt and fish just about every day I am off so I am always in need of something. Another great thing is the knowledgeable staff. If you have questions with just about anything outdoors then Tony, the owner can help you. read more

The store is a little crowded but then they have what you need. Staff is courteous and very knowledgeable. I always end up spending more money than I wanted to. Yet I never go away dissatisfied. Looking forward to doing more business with them. read more

Love the selection on calls. Think this place is family owned. Much preferred to the big chains.
