I know very little about firearms and when I…read morerecently found myself in a whole new world with 15 various types of firearms to liquidate (pistols to revolvers to rifles), a friend suggested I contact Trevor to handle the consignment sales. He accepted them lock, stock & barrel, cleaned and sold them for me. I requested that he withhold payment to me until all of the marketable ones were sold. It took about 60 days and I received an itemized statement along with the proceeds check (which was for more than what I had anticipated). I was very satisfied with the service received.

These guys are awesome. I had a chance to contact this FFL about a week ago. From the moment I dial…read moreup their number, I had a few FFL-specific questions in mind, and their representative answered thoughtfully, and thoroughly. Even though I hadn't ever walked into their shop, they didn't even know who I was, and I had not bought anything from them at that time... they still treated me with the utmost respect. Because of this awesome interaction, I've been saving up to pick up my dream pistol, and I WILL be ordering through Private Sector Arms. Not just because of their respectful, and knowledgeable service reps... but the fact that they are an authorized dealer for many manufacturers including Magnum Research, and Kimber (if memory serves me right). If they place the order, you can save on an FFL transfer fee as you would occur if you purchase a gun off gunbroker...etc. Also, their added integrity, knowing that they inspect each and every firearm thoroughly when a shipment arrives... rest assured your firearm will come out looking fresh. One of the many benefits of ordering thru a responsible and organized FFL such as Private Sector (and not a big box retailer such as Sportmans lol...yea I bash on Sportsman's a lot)

Super easy process, extremely attentive customer service, nice people. Helpful and kind to new potential gun owners and non-judgmental, which is almost impossible to find in a gun shop. It'd be near perfect with a bit more selection. Also, they do make custom Kydex holsters for only $100. After bad experiences at other shops, I will likely only be coming here from now on.

Gun counter takes forever, they screw paperwork up all the time, and they are condescending. Cancelled a Glock because I got one for a gift, got a plinker instead-- the dude literally laughed in my face and acted like I was pathetic for not wanting the 9mm even though I have plenty. Salesmen don't ridicule customers who are buying the products they sell. That's beyond stupid business practices. Old fat bald white mustachioed man working in the boat section is a total ass. I asked about tandem kayaks and he rolled his eyes and told me they don't make tandem kayaks. I had to ask "then what's in my garage right now?!" Idiots treating customers like idiots. At this point I believe this store is just a way to keep rednecks poor and they treat you like that.

You get a $1 "Pawn Buck", lol wait wait that's not a loan offer, its a bill, we actually spoke to a customer??? Ok ok heres your imagination participation trophy for showing up with something valuable. The ticket says I'd need $64+ to redeem it after 90 days, highlighted by a big purple-circled $16.25 "itemization of the finance charge" that feels like they just made up a number and hoped I wouldn't notice. Storage fee, doc prep, the whole menu of "because we can" charges. Meanwhile, another buyer on Pacific Ave offered $68 on the spot. $68 vs $48, and zero chance of my coin becoming their new wall mount. This isn't pawning....this is comedy hour with your assets as the punchline. Washington has rules on these fees for a reason, and the $16.25 line smells like it's doing the cha-cha around them. If you're in the olympia area and enjoy losing money with a side of creative accounting, go right ahead. Everyone else? Take it to a legit coin shop to at least get spot prices... You'll get actual spot value instead of this financial stand-up routine. Do better, or at least be funnier about robbing people.

After being told it would be ready at a certain time (24 hours+), when I called to ask about the status and if it was ready, I was told angrily "just come pick it up. We're not doing it anymore". I picked it up and the owner tried to give me some rant about "we're not going to rush ourselves" after withholding my property for 10 minutes. This place is a joke. I took my pistol to another local shop (way more professional and welcoming, I wont say who BUT there's a great taco spot next to it) and they were able to help me right on the spot and got it done in 20 mins with respect. Do not give this business your money, one of the worst gun stores I've ever stepped foot in.
