As always an amazing place to shop, excellent experience and always a pleasure to shop or just visit. Super friendly and they always welcome you and as a female customer they make me feel so welcome and I can ask as many questions I need to.
Very knowledgeable staff working here, great selection of arms, gear and ammo. Prices are reasonable and if you have question the staff takes the time to explain everything. You’re always welcomed when you walk in. One of the best places in the island to get your gear.
Another dealing with South Shore Sportsman. I have made firearm purchases, transfers, smith work and recommended 5 friends who have all been pleased with them, some have been return customers.As always, courteous and all fine gentlemen in Merrick. I have been to their range in Islip, another group of good people. The range is clean and well ventilated. They definitely put a lot of thought and $$$$ in that place. Very pleased. Keep up the good work.
Reasonably priced for what I went to purchase. Courteous and friendly sales associate. Ill be back.
I went in today for a purchase this was my 1st time ever making this type of purchase and there were very accommodating. Whatever questions I had it was answered with no problem or issue no attitude nothing at all. The process for the purchase was very very smooth and easy and most of all fast. They got me in and out in under 30min. I really appreciate how friendly they were they move fast but efficiently that is hard to do both at the same time. I will definitely come back to them along with referring anyone in need of a firearm to them. Thank you guys once again.
I cannot speak highly enough of this shop and their employees. The owner spent nearly an hour answering questions I had and was so insightful. Great assortment and top quality attention to detail. My first trip made me a life long customer!
Best place to buy a gun! Professional and customer friendly service! Employees took time to explain and answer all of my questions patiently and in detail, as I am a first time buyer. Two thumbs up!
So I bought my first gun here about 4 years ago, a Beretta 9mm. Excellent experience. Then my wife wanted a handgun, we came back and Stan spent a long time ensuring she bought something that fit her well. She bought an H&K VP9 and still loves it. She then returned and bought a 22 cal Savage rifle just last year.This weekend we both returned and picked up two revolvers, a Colt .357 King Cobra and a S&W .357 686. Again, the staff (Nick, Brian, John and Stan) were super helpful ensuring we bought the right guns and the needed accessories. They helped with all the paperwork (were from the city!), and made the experience painless.Thanks Southshore Sportsman for again making this a pleasant experience. Well be back for our next purchase!
Great store with good selections, very helpful. Transfer fees went up from $25 to $40 but everything has gone up do to inflation. Always answer my questions. Will be my go to store from now on. Just stay away from the short old man, he’s a little cranky.
Highly recommend this business, courteous and extremely knowledgeable, great attention to detail. I have known and been helped by Stan Greenberg for over 35 years in various establishments where he has worked, he has ALWAYS taken care of myself and my family and friends whenever I needed help with a firearm problem or purchase. Mike the owner and his son Nick as well as all the other employees are also VERY helpful and knowledgeable. If you need to purchase a firearm or have a firearm question, this the place to go and the place I use and recommend. My thanks to South Shore Sportsman for all your help over the years.
Well stocked,I found my items here that even out of stock in online stores. Efficient employees, everyone works fast because it’s super busy store based on my visit on Thursday 10:30 to 11:30am.so it’s very easy if you know what you want, if you are new to this, you want to prepare more time or go in least busy hours.I’m new and was lucky to have Brian? Who is knowledgeable and patiently help me try a few in my hand then gave me useful suggestions which I took and Happy with it.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff, very helpful. Firearm transfers are quick and easy. Highly recommend this business.
Very knowledgeable staff, biggest selection and lowest prices Ive seen on long island. Got exactly what I was looking for BELOW online prices while other shops on the island Ive been to are charging up to $700 more for the same thing right now
Nick and his crew out there are a bunch of nice, professional and helpful people. I could not rave about them more, they make the process as easy as possible and are knowledgeable on any question you have. After my purchase I referred 3 co-workers there and they all said the same thing. Thanks guys it was a pleasure!
Friendly & knowledgeable staff. Good inventory & available ammunition .
Knowledgeable people great selections great prices all you can ever want
Everything was great. The service was friendly and helpful. Prices were good too
First Class Operation! Went in to South Shore Sportsman and they took care of everything I needed for my armed guard license. Highly Recommended!
Extremely helpful staff, great guys in general. Pleased with the service, help, and price. Hoghly recommend 👌
Love going there. Always treat me with respect.
Ive been going to the store both in merrick and Islip. Very reliable fair prices .wont steer you in a wrong direction . Mike the owner is very knowledgeable. And a stand up guy . I bring as many friends looking for guns and ammo as I can .best in the business.
I didnt get to buy the gun i went there for, however, eventhough it was busy I received excellent customer service while I was there the sales clerk was attentive and very informative about the gun I was interested in buying. I would definitely recommend 👌to anyone interested in purchasing a firearm downstate NY
Great service, staff were very helpful and my weapon was ready. Thanks
Great place, staff is very helpful and very knowledgeable.
I have been in this store at least three times. I have dealt with at least 4 different employees behind the counter. I have a pretty good idea what I am doing, so I dont really need to have my hand held, just have my questions answered as well as possible, and honesty. I can smell BS way before it it spoken most of the time. I am happy to say, that each and every employee I have dealt with was better that the last. They are are pretty great, and willing to help as much as you might hope for in a gun store. But the one characteristic I respect the most is honesty and integrity. I have found the guys in the shop to be top notch in this area....So when in the area, I will keep coming back.
There is a certain type of personell you look for depending on the store you walk Into and the product you are buying. South Shore Sportsman have the no nonsense attitude that you want for the product they sell. Stern and very professional. After speaking with them and purchasing some of their products I can say I left much more informed then before I entered. I liked the salesman very much and left very satisfied. I highly recommend this store.
The customer service Was very good as a first time gun buyer everything was explained the service was very generous with time several models were seen and offered great suggestions. Nice they can accept online orders. Ended up purchasing, came with extras, had the best price..will take advantage of free demonstration at their range...
Received my rifle from a FFL transfer. The staff was helpful and was able to get a nice Leupold scope for an awesome price. Will be back again! Highly recommended.
Great knowledgeable service. Irecommend them .
Great place to visit. Stuff is very knowledgeable and courteous.They follow every safety rule to make every body feel safe and enjoy their shopping in the Store.Every time is a pleasure buying my guns and ammo because I know their prices are the best all around.Definitely I recommend it .You will like it too.Just follow the rules.
Ive been going here for many years. I have to say they are the best shop in Nassau county. They have a great selection and staff is very nice and knowledgeable. Never had any issues and will continue coming here.
Good peoples with me recommend them to everybody as well as working with my company
Great shop best place to go to for all your firearms and training
Very professional and courteous staff .The prices are well within reason, it was my first time stepping into a gun store and I feel it won’t be the last time going into this one .. highly recommend ! The process was simple and quick. Went to get a lower receiver and The wait was only 15 minutes to see if I was approved And within the process I felt comfortable as they helped me through it . Great selection even thou I’m a first timer . See u there .
Best store on the island. Bought multiple guns from this place and will return again for more.
Large selection, staff very helpful and knowledgeable A+
Had the pleasure of visiting today. Everyone in the store was so nice! Professional. The entire experience was very smooth and efficient. Would highly recommend doing business with them!! They will be my place of choice in the future!!
Great store. Always find something I need there. Staff is knowledgeable and courteous. Their pricing is very reasonable.
Very easy to do FFL transfer here. They have their FFL form already on gunbroker so all you have to do is fill out a form on their website and when the firearm arrives they will give you a call. Rifle transfers are $50 which is on the expensive side but it is worth it for the convenience. There are quite a lot of people on weekends so be prepared to wait for some time (not their fault).
I highly recommend, my experience with this TeamUSA was AWESOME!!
I only buy from this store. They are knowledgeable and friendly.
Good price and friendly
Excellent place to shop for guns and to come for for help if you frak something up. Staff is very polite and helpful. Prices are good too.
I got my girlfriend a MOVADO for her bday yesterday. She said take it back I want a gun. Well the staff was so nice I got her 2. Could not have been better
Customer service was very good. Very knowledgeable. Had a seamless transaction
Fantastic shop located on the South shore in Nassau county
They treat u like your just another dollar bill..
Great place good prices the staff is very helpful and help you with what ever you need. Being a women going into a gun store could be very intimidating but not here. Mike Steve joe and Stan and the rest were awesome. Very easy transaction. And very safe during covid I will not ever go anywhere else
I was brought to this store by a friend of mine to look for a home defense weapon. I have to say, this was the most professional group of individuals I have ever come across in a retail store, of any kind. If this is your first time looking for a firearm or ammo, this is the place to go. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and patient. They will answer any and all questions you have. I will be going back there in the future for all of my firearm and ammo needs.
Great shop, customer service, friendly.
Really nice place to do business friendly staff quick and easy process and very helpful. Definitely looking forward for my next visit
Best of the best. Knowledgeable, local and fully stocked.
This place has everything you need and prices are fair
They have everything you need, knowledgeable and helpful staff
Purchased my first handgun here. Amazing, knowledgable customer service. They really take there time to explain everything to you. And they are very well priced! I will definitely go back! And I highly recommend them.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! My wife and I couldnt be happier with the level of professionalism and service today. We strongly suggest South Shore Sportsman if your looking for a variety of quality stock products and professional assistance.
I like this place. People are very kind and professional.
Great service always every time I go there.
Great place great people I have been going there for years now.
Ordered a gun through the store. It was delivered in record time and the staff there was great. Glad I used them and plan to take my business there in the future.
Very good place to get information and plenty of inventory.
This place is great! Staff there is friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. From when I walked in the door till I left they were nothing but a bunch of great guys. Will definitely return here and recommend friends and family to this place. Keep it up guys!
Purchased a mini 30 during the start of this pandemic the line was out the door and you could tell the staff was overwhelmed . The guy that I believe was in charge was clearly stressed but still managed to handle the crowd as professional as possible. I did purchase a case of 500 tulammo which I read in the reviews are not the best for this riffle, i wish I was notified of this but i cant blame them they did there best to take care of everyone in a timely fashion. I definitely recommended this place to others
First time shopping here and dealing with them. Great customer service. They dont give u a run around which is great. I got a item which took almost 3 weeks but they always answered my emails back and answered all questions. Definitely recommend them and will be going back my self.
Workers made sure all patrons were at a safe distance at all times.
Lots of guns and other raw supplies youll need. The store is kind of small and outdated. The prices are reasonable. But the staff could be a lot nicer.
Very good service and very good prices!
Went in to buy a firearm for home defense. Staff was super helpful, walked me through the details and inner workings of the firearm. Couldnt thank them enough for their service in these trying times. 5 stars.
Guys here are professional and know their stuff. Good prices. Wont waste my time going anywhere else.
GREAT. had what I needed, in and out 10 minutes tops
Very nice people. Used them as my FFL. Very simple process. 2 minutes on their website and I was done picked up my Smith & Wesson 500 a few days later and while I was there I picked up two shotguns which are the two on the top in the photo. Actually the second one from the top is a Mossberg Shockwave it is a firearm not a shotgun. My first 10 gauge. I will be back there soon no question.
Generally, most of the staff here are impatient and unprofessional. Since covid regulations have been implemented, the staff are obnoxious and complain about customers. Ordered 2 guns to be shipped here, and would never again. My biggest complaint is that the manager is letting their clerks mouth off and complain about customers, while customers are waiting in line. Go to other stores in LI and dont deal with these clowns.
Very unprofessional and rude. As soon as I walked into the store the employee was rude. He had an attitude like he did not want me in the store while he and his coworkers were taking care of other customers. Maybe that’s protocol but we didn’t feel welcomed at all. Didn’t even let us take a look around the shop. Will not go back to this shop.
Great place went in buy marlin 45/70 found what I wanted they had in stock very happy with the services here
First rate all the way plenty of everything and great sales staff. I will definitely be returning
Picked up a .22 mosin from them a few weeks ago. Staff was great, answered all of my questions, and prices were extremely reasonable. This rifle retails for $500 from the manufacturer, it was brand new for 60% of that. Great store with a great selection and you dont feel like youre pressured to buy when youre in here.
The guys there are so knowledgeable and helpful. As a new gun owner I didnt feel out of place.
Great customer service
Purchased my first firearms here today. Couldnt have been happier with the experience. They were extremely busy, but everyone was friendly and in good spirits despite all the Covid-19 insanity. Anthony was great. Will be returning to do business here for years to come.
Very knowledgeable staff and seamless transaction.
This place is ran very professional and all the workers are happy to help. The owner is very knowledgeable and helpful, if you’re looking for a place to purchase a firearm definitely check them out fair prices and the knowledge is like no other shop!!
This place was very professional. And gentleman with glasses helped me out and provided me with alot of knowledge . Thank you!
Helpful and knowledgeable
Love comming into this shop. Staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They dont try to sell thing you dont need or want. Instead they make sure they understand what you are looking for and gear towards the right decision. Only gun store I go to in NY. GREAT SHOP
Very helpful, very knowledgeable staff.Great place to go if you are starting off. I didnt remember to bring the correct documents when I was getting my first rifle from here, I didnt get yelled at for holding up the computer while having another person waiting behind me. One of the staff just reminded me that I should have had the documents before I came here, that was all. A staff member also helped me with information and products I needed for my first visit to the range, as well as giving me contact information so I could check if it was crowded before I went there. They also informed me of some rules about transporting ammunition, mags, and rifles for visits to the range.They have a good selection, basically all the equipment needed to start off and much more. For me it came with a lot of free information which made it a very smooth and positive experience. I have been here a few times now, and to the local range as well.I would highly recommend this business for anyone looking to start. Im sure it would be a good location for experienced shooters as well, but I cant speak on that matter at the moment.
Excellent little shop. I recently bought a rifle from them and am considering buying some handguns here once my license is filed. The staff here were helpful and informative in regard to both the firearms and the state laws. Decent selection of used and new firearms available both rifles/shotguns, and handguns.
The people who work there with very helpful
I can’t say enough how pleased I am with how these guys stand behind the products they sell. You can go to the huge stores and buy something for a few dollars cheaper but good luck if you need service from the manufacturer. These guys are all over it! I love how they stand behind you and if you are new to something you can expect a thorough education. Highly recommend!
Excellent services. Expert personal always ready to answer questions and help with any issues you might have. Always a pleasure to shop at South Shore Sportsman.
There are 5 or 6 gun shops & about an hour or driving between my house & SSS. I go there for stuff 75% of the time. The other times I go elsewhere just for variety or to search for something specific but I like this place enough that I’m happy to take the time to travel there when there are several easier options. It’s better than being followed around the store aisle to aisle like a shoplifter even after spending $1,000 in Islip....🤔
Very happy with them. Clean and professional!
Very professional and polite staff. The times I went never any issues. This is the one stop shop.
This place is a hidden gem. The owner is fair with his pricing and the staff is always helpfull. Ammo selection is good, prices are good as well. They also sell used rifles for great prices. I have been doing business with them for a year now.
Just sold my rifle here recently. A pleasure to speak with and reasonable with prices.
This place is a one stop shop.was recommended by a friend.great service and very helpful.thanks guys,will c u soon on next purchase.
I’m very impressed by the selection of firearms, equipment and most importantly, how professional and knowledgeable the sales staff is. A few months ago I needed a remedy for the Canadian Goose issue I have in my backyard. South Shore came up with a low cost solution!!
Today is my first time to buy a firearm in this store. People in this store are nice and it was a busy afternoon. The guy who helped me was bobby, nice kid, very pleasant character and attitude. He took time to show me what i asked about. Definitely I will go back as soon as Im ready to purchase another firearm. Price are good!!!! I do not get the negative review.
I bought my first gun here. They spent about 45 mins from start to finish showed me a few different pistols and explained everything. Nice place good selection of guns, staff is friendly and patient
