He said he could get the items I had been eyeing online and quoted me a lower price than found online. You want to be a prepper or learn about prepping or are interested in survival gear or Urban Camouflage then this is your store! Again, such a great store I'm so glad it's in Haverhill!

If you're anywhere on the North Shore and looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable gun shop, do…read moreyourself a favor and stop by CSGI Firearms. I've been a customer since they first opened, and the experience has been consistently outstanding. The entire team is incredibly knowledgeable--not just about firearms, but also Massachusetts laws, surrounding ranges, and any questions you might have as a new or experienced shooter. They go out of their way to make sure everything they do is completely Massachusetts law compliant, and they genuinely care about educating their customers. Whether it's explaining the LTC process or talking through your Second Amendment rights, they always take the time to make sure you understand everything clearly. One thing that really stands out is their inventory and customer service. Most of the time they have exactly what you're looking for in stock, and if they don't, they're quick to find a solution and get it ordered with a very reasonable turnaround time. They make the process easy and transparent. The shop itself is welcoming and comfortable. Even if you walk in just to ask questions and don't end up buying anything that day, they still make sure you leave with knowledge and confidence. There's never any pressure--just a genuine willingness to help whenever you're ready. Chris, the owner, deserves special recognition. He's a stand-up guy, a former service member, a family man, and just an all-around good human being. You can tell he truly cares about his customers and the community he's building around the shop. And sometimes you'll even be greeted by the beautiful Belgian Malinois who is incredibly sweet--but also clearly well-trained for protection! I'm genuinely grateful to have such an amazing shop nearby for anything we might need. I recommend CSGI to everyone I know. If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would!

Their firearm safety course is extremely reasonable in price and is conveniently located in Beverly at the Cummings Center. Our instructors were Mike Pelonzi and Cory Daras. Mike has had several years under his belt in law enforcement experience and training. Cory Daras is a trained nurse, nurse educator and a Marine Veteran. She brings her passion for caring for others to a personalized gun safety course. Both Mike and Cory, with their sense of humor, delivered an exceptional firearm safety class. Mike and Cory are extremely passionate about firearm safety, public safety and very knowledgeable about past and current gun laws. Cory ensures that after you take her class you walk out with insight on personal safety, and situational awareness options to protect yourself and loved ones from potential threats. Mike and Cory's class was by far the best firearm safety training I have ever received. I look forward to going back to them for future firearms training as well as first aid and CPR training that the academy also provides. If you choose Safety Academy USA you will not be disappointed!

The 'Certified MA Firearms Safety' class was FULL of useful information for a beginner, like…read moremyself, but also could serve as a refresher course for those who have more experience. Daniel had a deep knowledge, and passion, for the topics discussed and he encouraged open discussion/Q&A which kept the class seemingly effortless. The process of pursuing an LTC for the first time (or ownership of any firearm) can very well be an intimidating process initially and courses can be stuffy/awkward but Daniel really helped one to digest the very serious topics, responsibilities and laws of gun ownership through engaging conversation, an open dialogue and a wonderful presentation. I'd certainly recommend New England Firearms for anyone, at whatever phase, while pursuing fire arm ownership in MA.

I remembered recently my visit to this gun club with a friend and was pleased to find out more…read moreabout it from a long-time member. This members-only club offers pistol and rifle ranges, so you must join to use the facilities. Unfortunately, they don't have a website, but I found their Facebook page [here] (https://www.facebook.com/ecsainc). The club also has an archery range near the clubhouse, though I only saw one target. To get there, drive down Ferry Lots Lane in Salisbury to the end, open the gate, and continue until you see a building on the left behind another gate. I was told membership meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month at 7:00 PM in the clubhouse. Attending a meeting might be a good way to learn more about joining. The clubhouse is easy to find once you're on the grounds, but it's only open to officers and special events, which means paying members don't have access to it for general use. This seems odd since members are paying for it. Membership fees are double the regular dues, which is unusual compared to other clubs that charge less or no additional fee for new members. To reach the range, walk to the right of the clubhouse. Some abandoned vehicles were on both sides, giving the area a neglected look. Beyond these is an open field where you can shoot rifles, pistols, and shotguns. There are no clear boundaries between the ranges, so shooters might have to share the same shooting line. Despite some safety concerns, limited clubhouse access, and no bathrooms, the grounds are decent for shooting, especially if you're alone or with a friend. However, the range is closed to all members during hunting season, which is inconvenient.

Until after my husband started walking away from the intake kiosk we were suddenly told "we're not taking any more shooters tonight because we'll be closing down the range in about 20 mins." If it says it's open til 8, then stay open til 8. If not- SPECIFY THAT ITS 730. You don't understand how important little breaks of freedom are to new parents.

By the time my exited my vehicle and grabbed my equipment, staff had opened the doors and starting letting everyone in. The patrons in front of me grabbed 4-5 lanes, so I was easily able to secure a lane; I was loading and making ready to fire by 10:15. They kept my ID for the duration of my range session and charged me the listed rate of $25 for a non-member, one lane-hour fee. Facility seemed well kept and modern. Ventilation worked well; I didn't notice any gunpowder residue clouds wafting around. It also seemed decently sound insulated. The guy a few lanes down shooting his binary trigger AR didn't bother me much.

I do wish that the range's waiver would be valid for longer than 90 days, all other ranges that I go to/have gone to keep the waivers valid for 90, but what can I do? While the entire staff is wonderful, Brandon is great. I keep visiting because of how awesome their staff is, though I do hope that they fix their AC, it makes it impossible to use the range.
