5280 Armory

They don't back any of there products or accept returns in case of product dysfunction. I bought a Baraska red dot sight the staff recommended to me. It broke before I even fired a shot. I brought it back to the store expecting they take the sight back and replace it or give me store credit. They refused and told me I had to send it back to the manufacture for warranty. I was shocked that they would sell me something and not stand behind their product at all. If they don't have any faith in the brand or product why sell it? I could have bought it online for probably less money but wanted someone's advice and somewhere I could expect service. I was totally disappointed in them. Other then that the service was good and the staff was friendly but if they are not willing to service the customer then why pay retail prices and make the drive when you could get the same service and buy online. And most online stores would probably take the return. more

This place is AMAZING! First time there today. Not only friendly and helpful , but actually had the firearm I wanted.( not commom and rare.) Not the typical trade in 3 year old guns everybody else has in the glass. Ammo priced really well. I was in and out in 20 minutes from walking in to backround to leaving. This is my new gun shop PERIOD. more

There must be some personal BS going on with these reviews. I have been going to this shop for a couple years now and have never had a bad experience. Yes the lady cashier has a nice rack but i'm not going to be asking her gun related questions. I have never personally met Matt the owner but have asked him random questions through out the years and he has always tried to help me and has never talked down to me in any way. As the review...Most of the time the place is packed and for good reason. They have a very good selection of tactical guns and the handgun selection is the largest within 50 miles. My wife, father, son and myself have purchased over a dozen guns from them, countless accessory's, ammo and never had a problem. Last week I was attempting a custom trigger job on my rugger 556 and Matt had the parts i needed and advise to get the job done quick and inexpensive...This is a very good gun store and don't believe this BS people are posting. more

Worst gun store in the state! The owner is a complete jerk that ignores every customer unless they do something he doesn't like! Typical roider with big upper body and skinny legs! The staff is clueless and some young girl works there that knows NOTHING excpet how to show off her rack! Better prices at Sportsman's Warehouse and much friendlier staff. These people are as rude as they come and as clueless as well! Stay away from here! more

i cannot remember a time i dealt with ruder people. i honestly believe that matt, the owner, has some sort of mental issue. never been treated like this before at any business. more

I had heard good thing about them and ran in yesterday to take a look. I was interested in comparing 4 or 5 types of 380 cal. handguns for my wife as a concealed carry gun. the guy there let us take our time and look at one gun after another, never once did he get impatient. My wife held, dry-fired and got familiar with quite a few guns. I knew we were going to return home and talk about it before buying, so I expected the typical salesman response which often is mild annoyance that you ""wasted their time"" or else a high pressure ""if you buy today..."" line. None of that. When I said we would go home to talk about it, and return tomorrow, they smiled and nodded and that really convinced me that they were happy to help.\r more

Have visited this store several times. Couple months ago made a major purchase for me, bought 2 Rock River AR's and accessories. Ian was the salesman that helped me out. Very paitent and answered all my AR newbie questions. Been back window shopping several times since. Very friendly staff and actually helpful. Some have complained about days they are closed and the hours they are open. Hey, this is a family owned store, Matt and Gina can open and close any day they need to adress their family life, They don't work 8 hours and go home like most of us do. I really appreciate them being open on Sunday. My whole family goes there now and they have my business from now on ! more

Complete jerks! They don't sell any gun to legal permanent residents .Any legal resident will have to have a clean background otherwise will be deported. Those idiots refer to the things happen at the mexican border as a reason to sell only to USC. \r \r I am a NRA instructor -have no tickets or anything else. I am buying guns for about $5000 every year for myself.BTW I am white european.\r Thinking about a lawsuit against them .However my business went somewhere else.\r Also they don't tell you upfront so I drove20 miles to their place. \r more

5280 ARMORY is quite an interesting little place set in a partitioned warehouse type building. I liked the layout of the glass displays for their vast handgun selection. Also, they have an interesting assortment of sniper style rifles including a Barrett M99. I had been there before and remember seeing a Barrett M107 on display, as well. My initial impression was that they were right up my alley when it came to my interest in tactical/combat firearms. The first two people that I spoke with seemed to be very friendly and reasonably knowledgeable for the laymen firearm fanatic. However, during my inquiry about various handguns I was approached by a heavy set man behind the counter that was in his late 40's to early 50's. He wreaked of a$$hole from the initial gun snob remarks that he introduced himself with. He stated ""One of the benefits of my position..."" after enlightening me that he had fired all of the new Beretta pistols, which I assume was his way of saying that he owned the shop. I continued to inquire about various pistols of interest, though I had my budget set for a Glock 19 (which I will be purchasing from NEVE's), since I need familiarity with that particular pistol for my career. I asked the gun snob about the mag drop on the new HK pistols and stated that I didn't like it (the old mag drops were larger, and easier to get my finger on, in my opinion), and the guy stated that ""HK doesn't need to justify their pistols,"" which surprised me, because I wasn't taking a stab at HK. He then added the obvious that the new safety is ambidextrous, which I already knew. He profoundly stated that some people may find themselves in situations where they might need to use a ""weak hand"" shooting position, and the ambidextrous mag drop is useful. This is good information, had I asked for it... but I didn't... Pros: Good selection, good layout. Cons: Higher than average prices. Stuck up guy working the counter. more
