I walk in and the guy asked what I was looking for, I said I was just looking. He stuck his hand out to shake and I said "I done shaking hands for the rest of my life- Covid you know, don't be offended, nothing personal" He acted offended. Covid is STILL VERY REAL! And touching strangers unnecessarily IS STUPID!!! I was the only customer in here. I looked around the very tiny shop and saw a few Turkish shotguns, some cheap handguns and some OVERPRICED Glocks. I bought a Glock 19 Gen 5 for $500 at Britton's last year, and this guy was asking $679.00 !!! Most of his ammo was overpriced, same with mags. The guy (owner I'm guessing) stared at me the entire 5 minutes I was in the store and I left without buying anything. There are too many GOOD gun shops around Tampa Bay to waste time in a crappy place like this.

I said hi when I came in and he said hi back. Waited while he tinkered behind the counter. I figured 15 minute wait was enough and I left. Read the other reviews, I am not the only one having a problem with this rude individual. Apparently the more money you're willing to spend with this jerk the more disdain he has for you. Well, let's make him real happy and not frequent his establishment at all! You want to buy guns and equipment I recommend Coles, Take Aim Guns and Safes, Shoot Straight, Castle Keep, Fire Arms Fred...ANYWHERE else is preferable to dealing with rude Paul at Arms for defense.

He stopped his show from continuing and told me to cancel the sale and due to him not continuing other buyers were messaging me to cancel. Which I was confused about as I never cancelled on what not. I had to look up how than I did and immediately after he blocked me from his page where I can't message or purchase. So this clown listed his item as a $1 starting instead of $20 and it's my fault? Than rather than being a mature adult about it or expressing what I had done wrong by simply bidding, you block me like a child? I even tried to message him to ask what I did and got a you've been blocked message! Don't buy from this dude. He's clearly unprofessional and immature!

That was really good but we had an issue with some of the magazines I ordered being the wrong type. The owner went ahead and took care of the situation by ordering the correct mags and keeping the wrong type. The situation was resolved in the best way for me, no hassle. Cut to 8 months later. The red dot that came with the pistol stopped working. I went back to Castle Keep and they handled the warranty claim for me. You may save a nickel or two by ordering online but the customer support I have received from this company truly makes buying local much more valuable. Just the fact that I did not have to pay shipping to and from for a warranty repair makes me happy.
