Great experience in the middle of the day on a weekday. We were the only customers in the store so we were able to browse and really shop. Jim provided a lot of good information and insight and was very helpful. We found out they are opening an indoor shooting range next week so that's pretty cool. It appeared to be a nice set up for practice and trying different firearms. Prices seemed to be on par with other gun shops but Jim said no one would beat their prices. read more

St Nicholas Gun And Sporting Goods - New indoor gun range hopefully opening the week of Oct 8, 2018 - Sporting Goods Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

A CAUTIONARY TALE for future customers of St Nicholas Gun and Sporting Goods. In 2018, I was given a gift certificate with no expiration date to use at St Nicholas' new gun range. I took a friend for a range session. I used the gift certificate to pay for both of our range charges. There was a balance of approximately $48.00 on the gift certificate. I was handed a St Nicholas-branded receipt with the remaining balance handwritten. I stuffed the receipt in my gun bag. Years pass. While cleaning out my gun bag one day, I found the gift certificate receipt with the outstanding balance. Returned today for another range session. Pulled out the gift certificate balance, here again with no expiration date, to pay, and was told that it would not be honored. The reason? There was a new owner. Admittedly, it had been a while since I had used the gift certificate. Still, regardless of time, the money had been paid to St Nicholas Gun and Sporting Goods. Take this experience as a cautionary tale that may or may not influence any future business you might consider doing with St Nicholas Gun and Sporting Goods. read more

Not the most freindly people to deal with did not like when i asked them what the 9$ charge was for .They said it is for using their website to order ammo to their store. PAYING TO USE A WEBSITE TO ORDER FIRST FOR ME WILL NOT USE AGAIN.If you are honest with people they wont question you.They bait you in to buy ammo at a good price then slap a 9$ charge which is deceiptful read more

My wife brought me and our daughters here to learn how to shoot handguns. She was in the military, and well knows how to handle one. We chose this facility and are really quite happy we did. Arturo was an excellent side coach and very helpful throughout our session. He helped make the whole experience fun and positive, both with his knowledge as well as his engaging personality. My daughters took to it naturally and did quite well, I'm going to be a work in progress. But I will most definitely return to this location for our next run, and I would highly encourage you to do the same read more

"I recently interacted with st Nicholas guns and range customer service team and was impressed by their professionalism and courtesy. , they treated me like a valued customer. Great experience!" read more

The gunsmith on duty, I think his name is Jacob is phenomenal and quick to tech his knowledge about gunsmithing if you need something.

As a woman I was really nervous to go in a gun store by myself. I was really worried that I would be judged or not even taken seriously. Drew spent so much time with me, explained all the basics, and helped me pick out the best gun for me. I cannot thank him enough for all of his help. The store had such a great selection to choose from! I would recommend to anyone read more

St Nicholas Gun And Sporting Goods - Sporting Goods Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

This is an older store with a good stock of weapons (new and used) and ammo. They do carry other personal protection items and have a small stock of accessories. The gentlemen who work here are knowledgeable and polite, and quite helpful without being overbearing. The prices are similar to other shops in town. They offer classes on concealed weapons weekly and are in the process of building their own range. read more

Friendly staff but customer service can suffer when they get busy. Under normal conditions I rate them a five. The only improvement I would suggest is perhaps a number system for better traffic control. read more

Great set of guys, I called ahead looking for an item and they held it for me for the day until I arrived. Knowledgeable and upbeat salesmen know their products that's for sure. Pricing is more than fair and have a range on property. Thumbs up for sure. read more

Horrible customer service. First, the young man answered sounded like he was 18 and half asleep, and not articulate. When I asked if I could purchase a gun in the store while on vacation in JAX and have it shipped to back California ( I live in CAN) they said no because California is an as- hole to deal with. Well, that doesn't tell me anything... Every thing that I asked he had to yell & refer back to someone in the background, who wouldn't even get on the phone when I asked to speak to them and just get a little clarification and bypass the middle man, who was clueless. So why have someone else the phone that isn't able to give the proper Information and cannot transfer you to someone else???!! All I was told was that this is not a debate we don't ship the California because they are as-holes. Can you just help me understand so I can have the proper questions to ask at the next store since you're saying your service is less that's desirable? Horrible customer service! Purchasing a firearm is way too important to deal with someone who doesn't offer reliable information, incapable of professional service and is flat out rude. Competitive pricing will only go so far! If you don't have the answers yourself and the person that you're getting information from is unable to speak then don't take phone calls! read more

First time in and my last. What a shit hole. Tried to get help asking about a product and the two brothers were rude as hell. Responded with " I don't know" while I'm asking about a product I'm the case. Overpriced also. Glock 43 mag for $40. Regular price $25. They're a scam read more

Walked in and felt like I was as some women's event. I've never seen so many women in a gun store at the same time without husbands/boyfriends at their side. And no one was buying hunting weapons. There was at least one women in her 60's at the very least. Whatever way you take it... those same women are also choosing this place to make their purchases. I found clerks extremely knowledge on the weapons. But they were all trying to sell chicks shotguns or small 9mm. I understand the shotgun, but chicks can carry bigger then just 9's. This place is a great spot to get information and start your inital search on a weapon. Depending on item, the prices are slightly higher then others (maybe $50). I only wish there was a women shooting club that would advertise target lessons. read more

That was a pretty short visit, it didnt take long at all to figure out we weren't welcomed. Everything you would expect from big egos and w little selection--would be. Don't waste your time looking for this place. read more

Acted like I wasn't there. Tried to ask questions and was basically given short answers. Won't be back. Poor inventory too.

The staff here is extremely helpful and friendly...They have a variety of handguns to choose from and plenty of ammunition to go around. This is the perfect place to go if you're in need of some good-old -fashion self defense. The staff is very knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions you might have. The prices are a little higher than some other gun shops, but still not too bad. read more

Robert we're great help with me purchasing my fire alarm he answer all of my questions very knowledgeable they also price match here great prices when you come in please ask for Robert read more

Loved my experience at St. Nick's both with my purchases as well as my time using their range. Staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming. Great selection of pistols...holsters as well. The location is a little out of my way, but it's worth it for the experience. Thanks guys and see you soon! read more

My girlfriend wanted to go look at a Wrangler 22 pistol. We looked at several then she told me the gun was for me! Nice surprise and one heck of a Valentine gift. Didn't end up with any of the single actions but did look at a SW CV 22 Victory. It fit my big hands well. Also looked at several other firearms from 500 Smith to a couple of old lever guns. Gentleman that waited on us was extremely patient and helpful. Ended up buying the Victory. Salesclerk got a few smiles out of us as I tried unsuccessfully to talk my girlfriend out of paying for the pistol. I filled out the necessary forms and while we waited for the state to approve the background check another salesman assisted my girlfriend in finding a concealed carry holster for her 380. We spoke with everyone in the store both behind the counter and customers. Everyone was pleasant. I have purchased several firearms here over the years and have never had a less than excellent experience. They have dealt fairly with me on trades, searches for specific guns, and routine purchases of ammo or accessories. I highly recommend St Nicholas Gun and Sporting Goods to anyone needing a firearm or just an answer to a sporting goods question. Everyone here is knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. read more

I have read several negative reviews about this place. Every time I am in Jacksonville I stop in. I have only had very positive experiences there. My last visit (last weekend) I was looking for something that no one else had. They did not have it either but assisted me with some other purchases, even though the place was loaded with CC "students". Rocky and Jim were in my opinion 5 star...I will be back on my next trip read more

Rocky ,Jim, Paul, all great to deal with. My New Bersa Thunder 380 is a great Buy. The concealed Carry Class was full of superb data......could not ask for more. Thanks for a great experience from every aspect ! Capt. Tom read more

Came here to look at a gun but they were pretty busy especially with 2 staff on hand but that wasn't the problem it was actually them helping people that came in afterwards first. Two other parties left and so did we. Prices are a little high and selection was just ok. Went elsewhere for better service. read more

If I could give this place a negative star review, I would. I went in to get some sights installed, and the same guy with the white goatee gave me stinkeye, answered my one question, didn't ask me if I needed help with anything else and went right back to whatever it was he was doing. I don't know if he doesn't like tattooed people, brown people, or just me, because he's been an ass to me every time I go in there for anything. And I don't waste their time, I go in, buy, and leave. I don't ask a bunch of questions or finger **** the merchandise and then not buy anything. I'm guessing he's the owner because nobody who just worked there could be that much of a disinterested prick and keep their job. They won't ever get another cent from me. read more

Very high mark-ups and not the best selection. Handgun display cases are an eye sore. Unorganized and unprofessional in appearance. read more

best service in town - because we all know most gun store employees think you are wasting there time . thank you for being great every time i come in. richard wright read more

Knowledgeable staff. Veteran owned. Excellent service and was able to get in and out quickly and efficiently.

Helpful and knowledgable staff. Prices seem a little higher than others. They also didnt have the gun I wanted but offered a few others at comparable prices. I did end up going elsewhere just because of the particular gun I wanted. I would have rather purchased it from here. Ill continue to be a customer.. read more

I've been a customer here for 20+ years spanning all the way back to when it was called Southside Gun. The staff is always helpful and they have an incredible amount of inventory compared to the size of the business. You could say they have some old stock stuff still on hand from way back. They will always work with you on pricing and if you ask they will work with you which in the long run can save you some serious bucks on a large purchase. Ammo can be a little pricey compared to some of the chain retailers such as Wal-Mart, Academy Sports, etc. but gun shops are always higher on ammo because they just don't have the buying volume to compete with those big box stores. The inside of the store could use a facelift. It is really a old building and showing its age. Overall the shopping experience is fun and there is a ton of guns to look at. read more

First time here. Nice selection of new and used guns. I was interested in a used revolver and even though they didn't have what I was looking for the selection and quality was good. I did notice a large selection of used lever action rifles which I will go back and check out later. Staff was helpful. read more

I have ordered some products online,and as far as follow up,non existant,no tracking,don't know when to expect the shipment,might not be a big deal if you live in a house,but if you live in an apartment,and shipments that don't make it to your door,then hope that the office let's you know you have a package,between the two,it is check constanly,funny,I can order someyhing on amazon and have it in a couple of days,with this place,measure by weeks. read more

the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. I got a Glock here and I'm extremely happy with my purchase. I'm retired military and I will most definitely tell my friends. read more

I love this place. First I took the conceal carry class there. But today I picked up 2 more guns from there. I will only work with Jim. He gives you straight up advice and walks you through anything you need. I absolutely love all the many other encounters. Do yourself a favor and get to st Nicholas with Jim!!!! read more

Do not take your concealed weapons class at this gun store... You will overpay and be paying for services such as fingerprinting photographs and notary which is unnecessary. The $112 that is required by the state to process your concealed weapons permit includes having photographs taken electronic fingerprints recorded and notary services performed if you go to your local department of agriculture and consumer services office by appointment. The fact that this is an option is hidden from the unknowing customer by this business and therefore customers are tricked into thinking it is necessary to have this store perform these services at a premium price. I am not only disappointed in the deception of this process and overcharge for services not necessary but I am even further disappointed in how the employees conducted themselves when I return to the store to ask about this situation. You are wiser to take your business elsewhere. read more

i've traveled thur most every gun store and outlet in local duval area , and i would have to give credit to the boys at st.nicks . they've been a great resource of info and weapons. i collect mostly western and civil war era guns , big chris always seems to have a surprize for me and i have to say, i got a great price, and a willingness to work with me. as far as layaways, i've not had a problem and have used it several times, but ofcourse i was there to buy a gun and knew what i wanted, and they made it available for me to do so . if you go there on a wim just to kill time, do yourself, and the staff there a favor, and go to walmart or k-mart accross the street, you can get store credits there, if you get confused or your wife wants you to return it. unless you are a real beginner, or just trying to be fashionable to keep up with your friends, most gun owners know the rule, most gun shops dont take responcibility to service or maintain your gun. all of us have to send our problems with the weapon to the company mfg , and a simple call to them by reading the information given to you in the box it came in. they will send you free shipping postage for the weapon and send it back to you. visit the shop and get your own impression, ask the questions, know before you inquire, alittle about the weapon or style of shooting or hunting you intent to own and shoot. read more

Repeat customer.. staff is helpful and the prices are negotiable. They will work with you to get to the best price. Have gotten them to beat any competitor in Jax. read more

These guys are the biggest rip off in town. They tried to charge me a $300 gun transfer fee. They said they sold the same weapon, and I had to pay $300 dollars for the transfer. This was after one of the sales guys said they'll only charge me $100 for the gun transfer fee, which I felt was still very high. The owner came out and kind of like raised his voice at me. He said he sold the same item and he could ship it back if I wasn't happy with his price. So, I had the owner ship my rifle back to Impact Guns. Impact Guns recived my rifle and told me it was badly damaged. It seems the owner kept the packing and just sent the rifle unprotected. Owner then called Impact Guns liars. I mean, Impact guns is the best and largest gun shop in America, and this small time gun shop is calling them liars. Needless to say, I contacted a Lawyer, it was more money for the Lawyer than the gun was worth. So, I had to sit on it and get the gun fixed. I ended up getting it transferred to a pawn shop for $75 bucks after impact guns fixed my expensive rifle. These guys are crooks, and very high priced. You're better off going to the gun gallery or buying online from impact guns and having it shipped to a licensed pawn shop. These people are crooks don't fall for their scams. read more
