Great customer service! My wife and I were able to call ahead and confirm that they had a Sig P320…read moreavailable for my wife, which was great because it was out of stock throughout Pensacola. Not only that, but the Sig was $50 less than Academy Sports and $30 less than Bass Pro Shop. When we called they were able to hold the sig for my wife as long as we made it before the store closed. Shane helped us out once we arrived and was able to grab a brand new case for my wife. He was really easy to work with. I will for sure recommend this place to my friends

A really excellent A/N/AF/M/CG [Army / Navy / Air Force / Marine / Coast Guard] "surplus" store -…read morewhich is to say that in addition to "experienced" gear they also keep an EXCELLENT selection of new [greenhorn?] items currently, recently or previously used by various armed forces / first responders and the elite proletarian guard [police types]... notably a good selection of Red Rock bags and a SUPER selection of Real Live Genuine Made In USA 550 Paracord for all your cording and tie things up, down, etc. needs... The helpers are quite nice, well informed, helpful and polite + hours are reasonable enough to accommodate the majority of schedules. Prices seem quite reasonable from what I saw - although I only went in for a single item [BDU desert weight pants - YAY! cargo pants from Mars] and these were less than paid for same / similar item at BOTH other surplus establishments OR online resources. They also have a genuine dog tag maker machine with a good selection of blanks, though if you have your heart set on a pair or three of these EXCELLENT identification items - call first to make sure an operator for this cool machine will be around. BONUS: this store is located in a REALLY cool [read: non-white] part of Pcola with some excellent dining options [YAY! Oscar's the Hot Cake King!!!] and several funky groovy thrift stores - where you can part with some of the moneys you saved at Brownsville...

I have to admit I think Academy is the best sporting goods store in the Pensacola area (we will see…read morewhat happens with Dicks opens up in couple months). Academy has the best athletic shoe selection, BUT the department's customer service is the pits. Rarely do they greet you or offer help and if you do ask for help it appears that you are bothering them. This past week I have been in the shoe department four times and I have never been approached by an employee. Actually that is not true yesterday while standing by an employee for a couple of minutes, as he shuffled and arranged boxes, he asked if I was finding the size I needed. When I told him no, he said "those are the sizes we have." This is great store, great merchandise, but management needs to sell the importance of customer service to their employees.

I had 2 handguns I'd purchased at an online auction sent to the FFL at Pensacola Indoor Shooting…read moreRange. They arrived a few days apart, so when the second arrived, I called them around noon to see if I could come in to pick both up, as I have a concealed carry permit and the law does not require me to have the waiting period. The guy who I was talking to said "OK" and asked me to hold for a few seconds while he went to check on both guns. He returned to the phone and said they had both guns, that I could pick them both up...$40 FFL fee for the Astra revolver and $60 fee for the Colt revolver + the $5 background check. I asked him why the extra $20 on the Colt. He said "because that Colt came in today" and he'd have to "rush" the paperwork on that gun because it just came in today, whereas the Astra came in a day or so before so there was no "rush" fee on that gun's paperwork. I infer that is store policy to charge an extra $20 if they have to "rush". I said to him, "OK, I had hoped to pick up both today, but I'll wait until tomorrow to save myself $20. I told him I had no further comment to make about that extra $20 rush fee but I suspect he could read my mind right now. He said "OK". I declined to pay the extra $20 and told the man I'd wait until the next day so they wouldn't have to "rush". Here's the deal: When I acquire 2 guns at the same time, both guns go on the same ATF form 4473. That actually saves time in paperwork. It creates no requirement to "rush". That $20 fee is just wallet mining, and if the customer doesn't pay it, he gets "penalized" with a 1 day wait. Kind of like "Give me $20 or I'll make you wait to get your gun". I begrudge no company turning a profit or making money. But the fee that FFL's charge to complete the required federal paperwork (ATF form 4473) is just to complete the paperwork. It has no proviso on how much they can charge. The creative addition of a $20 "Rush" charge on top of their regular $40 fee is just wrong. Not illegal. Just wrong. I've been around guns since before federal paperwork became required for a citizen to buy or transfer a gun across state lines. I have never heard of an FFL license holder charging an extra "rush" fee like that. I won't go back there. I dislike their business model.
