Everyone that works in this place is very informative! They are very willing to answer any questions you may have. They don’t make you feel unintelligent I’m anyway. I would highly recommend this place for all of your firearm needs!

New gun owner who recently invested in the M4/AR platform and couldn’t be happier with my experience with The Firing Pin. Everyone I’ve spoken to won’t make you feel unintelligent for not knowing much about firearms and are very informative and knowledgeable in any questions you might have. Compared to similar shops in the area this one stands far above the rest and I don’t have a desire to take my business anywhere else but here.

Best gunshop. Very fair prices. Nice people. Layaway program. No gouging during pandemic. Will be back often. Theyve treated the community fair since 1972

From a disabled veteran to all other veterans.This place is horrid avoid at all cost. I called last Thursday to pick up a lower receiver ask if they would be open friday but be closed 3rd and 4th of July Itold him I came from ND. I drive in they had hand written on their sign closed so I wasted a day. The I drive 1.5 hours today to pick it up and he charges me $40 as for a normal transfer fee then tells me he cant sell it to me and it will have to be shipped back to the manufacturer. So I asked for the $40 back as they never transfered it to me and refused to refund me the fee. Avoid this place at all cost.

Ordered a gun a few months ago. It’s arrived there And due to Covid-19 and my birthday happening right in the middle of Covid my license was expired. I am truck driver and was hard for me to get a dmv appointment because for some reason I was not able to do it online. Fast forward this month I finally was able to get my updated ID so I went to get pick up my gun that I know for a fact was there and that they had it in storage and told me they’d keep it there until I was able to get everything figured out and I get there today and somehow they don’t have it. Talking about it was months ago and all that. So I’m sure they sold my gun and just refunded me that money I actually paid for it through a separate site. I was not contacted not even once by them thought out the months or anything they just sold it instead which is every unprofessional and I will never use this company again and I DONT recommend them to ANYONE.

Very friendly and helpful staff. I think it helps if you have a lot of firearm knowledge before you go in. If your a rookie or someone whos been away for a few years you can feel really lost at times. But, I visited several stores and made my purchases here because compared to the others, Firing Pin is the best and its not even close.

Bought a Smith and Wesson from these guys in May. Having another kid and my first is getting in to things. Bought it for 300 shot 50 rounds sat in a safe. They offered me 100. I refuse to ever buy or walk into that shop again.

Excellent customer service, I couldnt have asked for a better experience. The employees there are very knowledgeable. They take their time with you they explain how things work they dont just try to sell you something and push you out the door. I believe they answer all of your questions honestly to the best of their ability. Great people, great business, Ill always come back.

For me I have known three generations of this wonderful Family that have been serving this area for 30 years They are where I have Bought all my Fire arms. People travel to get here. workmanship And skills developed over generations make the trip to the Firing pin fun . what you buy here will last you for the rest of your life. Having something you Love that will be handed down to Your Loved ones means a lot to Me knowing I left them better prepared.They won’t forget the time We were all together sharing a passion for hunting or shooting at cans and sitting together after a long day in front of a fire telling stories. Sportsmanship at it’s finest. Respectfully J.L. Jarman

Absolutely fantastic people and atmosphere! Kim and Ethan assisted in my purchase, cant say enough good about them. I was so pleased with my first transaction, that the very next day I made another purchase with them. I definitely recommend them and will be going back in the future.

Very disappointed in the service! Been in the parking lot for a half hour waiting for someone to open the door. There normal hours are 9-530 but for some reason they dont open until 11 and still not even then. Its now 1130 and no one is here to give me the gun I purchased over 5 days ago. Very pissed off this is ridiculous. I dont care if someone is dying you have a business and my money! I drove 40 minutes to get here on time and they dont even open so now Im forced to probably turn around. I seen two other people come and go and look for some kind of sign saying they arent in and there isnt one. Great customer care ! So I just left and the guy didnt sell me my gun he refunded me because in his opinion Im not to own a gun. In my opinion you should be to work on time and you wont have pissed off customers. Place is a joke thanks to one dumb ass employee because the others where very kind. All I have to say is its not recommended. Other places will be open on time and give you respect

Found the Firing Pin by chance thru my brother. Since then I have bought two guns and ammo there. Service is great and as far as prices, well havent found any better anywhere else yet. Have to drive two hours to get there but for what I get in service and prices its worth it.

Stay away. Stay far far away. I brought my S&W 9mm to trade for a Pro Model. (I am left handed) The owner talked me into a Gen3 Glock. He said it could be changed over for a left hander and to bring it back the next week. A week later when I approached him, he said the parts hadnt come in yet and promised to do it the next week and he would call me as soon as the parts come in. This has been going on for months now. I took it to another dealer and they told me you couldnt change a gen3 over to the left side. I was also told the gen3 was apparently used as it has an extended mag release and they dont come that way from the factory.

Ok I have been a few there a few times, about 5 years between each visit. Last time I went it was the owners son I geuss. But the only reason I went was because I had a $50 gift certifficate. I happen to like full metal hand guns and figure I would use the $50 tworads one. First off I asked about the CZ sub compact in 40 cal he said they could get it for me for $700, you can find it all over online for $500 and I told him that. Then he preceded to call me a liar. So I asked about a 92 he says yea we can get you one for $800, I told him I could get them for around $500 all day and again he said I was lying. So finally I ask him about a S&W 410, to which he tells me they have never existed. He tells me the only autos S&W never made any metal autos besides for 1911s. It was at that point I bought 2 boxes of .357 and one 38 that I still had to put my own $10 on to. This place is garbage they act like you know nothing and are also way overpriced. Unless you want a Cobray or a hi point I wouldnt go there.
