Visited here last year and once more in the past few months and I will say the interior is beautiful and well presented. Their weapon selection is worth seeing in person on its own, and their custom fire arms are art on their own level.Sadly the customer service wasnt as equal as visual presentation of the store.The first time visiting I had my one year old daughter with me that I had to carry everywhere since her mom was in the hospital, while looking at one of his ARs the older gentlemen asked me if I was going to buy anything. It came off rude at the time, but I wanted to give them a second shot a couple months ago when I revisited.My second time was a little dull and nothing was said to me at all when in the store. The employee was busy doing something behind the counter so I didnt bother him. I was mostly just browsing for a specific holster but it wasnt on any of their display racks so I just left with a simple thank you out the door. The gentlemen did reply though saying to have a good rest of my day.So to sum it up,The store its self is a treat and everything seems to be for that middle to high end fire arm enthusiast. Dont go in expecting a pawn shop collection, they sell the good stuff you see in the movies.The only con I had was the interaction with employees. It wasnt bad nor was it good. And as far as I know, I dont know what was going on their end that day as well so I cant judge to much.

The people who work here and the owner are some of the rudest customer service people in all of reno. If you like being talked down to and told your too poor to even hold his guns this is the place for you. spend your money where your respected

Definitely the best gun shop in town as far as selection and prices. A wide range of firearms related items, optics, holsters and even large home safes. Amazing memorabilia in the store will have you looking for at least an hour as well. I also took advantage of there laser engraving, it was top notch and looked amazing. If I find my go-to store in town.

Definitely a cool little shop! They had what I was looking for! All the employees here have served this country!!! So go in, pay your respects and you wont be dissatisfied with their selection. I will definitely be back!Update: Great gunsmithing! These guys really know their stuff. I had Greg install a WC one piece magwell/mainspring housing, some finger grooves and a pair of VZ grips! Very pleased with the way everything turned out!!! Very knowledgeable, highly recommend for your gunsmithing needs. This is where I will be bringing all my firearms for tuning or upgrading! 08/18/2020

Review №16

The owner was incredibly rude and dismissive for no apparent reason. We had been in the store for all of two minutes and I hadnt even spoken one word to him when he told me he wouldnt sell me something with absolutely no explanation as to why. We went elsewhere and got what we needed. My husband and I wont spend a dime in that arrogant guys place and we havent stepped foot in there since. There are much more respectful places in town that get our business. Im female and hate to assume that was the reason for his treatment of me but he didnt treat my husband as poorly. Id warn all women to stay away from this guy and his shop. This is not a female friendly place.

Im assuming owner? Maybe Employee? He was very rude either way. He day on phone on personal call for the first 15 minutes we were there. After we got off I asked for a specific gun, made a joke about there being no 9mm ammo... well this aint gonna help you changing caliber..... really?

Review №21

The owner is rude short tempered and threatening demeanor. The owner threatened me told me he knows every cop in town and that I should watch it every time I pull up to a stop light. Not sure what he meant by that but it is not how you talk to customers. He belittles his staff right in front of paying customers. Also the whole time the owner is in my face he is armed with a gun I was unarmed for a minute I feared for my safety. There was absolutely no need for him to get upset and Violent.

Review №28

Never been here but I was blown away at the 2 star review someone left about ammo being out of stock. No way can that be put at the feet of a local gun store right now. If it was 8 months ago then sure, but no one has ammo now. That is insane so hopefully this helps make up for that idiocy.

I am a seasoned combat veteran and this shop truly appreciates and has a passion for firearms. The team at Maccabee is a wealth of knowledge very well rounded crew. Sharons prices are by far some of the best in town he is even willing to trade when the deal is right for both parties. Maccabee arms has a vast array of classes to insure proper education for all shooters. Its a one stop shop for all your custom gun builds. Friendly relaxed environment hands on shop.

Excellent CCW course and qualification! Sharon the owner is phenomenal! Well versed and extremely knowledgeable! He showed up on a Sunday! In the Snow! To teach the course himself!!! He explained thoroughly that this was a qualification at the range not a “class”. I’m so glad to see this. He was firm and polite, while keeping us all safe! We will recommend Maccabee to everyone!Joseph & Cassie

Your experience here really depends on who you get you have about a 60% chance of getting a good person to help you and then the store is awesome theyre knowledgeable are friendly and you can typically get what you want at a good price or you get the one that just doesnt give a damn and then its a miserable day and youre better off going somewhere else

I have used Maccabee arms for all my security and firearms needs.The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. I have purchased firearms accessories, taken a CCW course and purchased a home safe from them. All my expectations have been met. The owner, Sharon, is very knowledgeable and has a vast experience in the firearms/ security arenas. I have taken other CCW classes and found the one taught by him exceptional. Try them for all your security and firearms needs

Review №52

There are no bad students, only bad teachers.Your the worst Sharon Oren and Maccabee Arms.Imagine your a responsible gun owner that recently heard about an elderly couple murdered in their home in your community. Your a smart man, shoot regularly, and have been around guns your whole life. You believe it’s your responsibility to protect your family. You take a CCW class from a local firearm store and it is the worst experience in your life. You are publicly belittled, and fully dressed down in front of your family and the whole class. Not by some hired instructor, but by the owner of the gun store.This happened to my 70 year old father-in-law when he took a CCW class at Maccabee Arms this last weekend. He wasn’t trained how to do it right by a professional. People fail thats life but you can still show people respect. He was treated like a child and had money stolen by a bully. This is just one of many negative interactions with this business. Stay away from Maccabee Arms and Sharon Oren. Don’t support him or his business.

If your looking for the bare minimum in CCW training, this isn’t for you.If your looking to get your CCW pencil whipped, this isn’t for you.If you want a nice cozy indoor range, this isn’t for you.If you want your instructor to hold your hand and stroke your hair...reassuring you everything will be alright, this isn’t for you.If you want a instructor with:Real life experiences.A good one day combination of class room and range qualification.Straight forward to the point explanations.A solid deck plate safe shooting experience.An out door range qualification that exceeds the minimum requirements and forces you to address real life environment conditions.Then Maccabee arms is the right fit for your CCW qualification.P.sSharon, I’m still counting my .05% Ashkenazi!DWGEx BM2 USN

I have bought several guns and a number of accessory from Maccabee. Each time I go in there they are very helpful and extremely nice. I have been to most of the other gun stores in town. After discovering Maccabee, it has become the only store I buy from. In the next couple weeks I will getting a .223 suppressor from them. I highly recommend them.

Review №61

Not saying this describes the whole store, and I didnt catch the employees name. When we went in a few weeks ago, the salesman seemed more keen on shilling expensive handguns and when we asked to see cheaper handguns he just kind of zoned out. Probably will go to a store where the salesmen are more willing to help everyone, and not just those who agree with what they like.

Its a nice place for a niche shop. Never seem to have what I need though, Ive emailed the owner about the availability of certain parts and never got a response. Prices are higher than some places, cheaper than others.Not a bad place overrated, just not one of my go to places when I need a part.

Review №66

As a Northern Nevada Native, No stars if I could. Sharon is a horrible “instructor” for any class. Arrogant, rude and frankly, not very confidence inspiring.Sharon you style yourself an Alpha Sheepdog of 2nd amendment rights. Not fooled by your “Arrogance from elite training” air you put on or impressed. Ccw qualification or not, there is no reason for shaming, disrespect or crudeness. Also badmouthing local law enforcement in your class? Was in the same class as the reviewer below. Must have witnessed a different class. Or maybe just paid better attention. Stay away from this place! He belittled his employees in his class, he was arrogant, rude, and frankly a disgrace to the special forces community he claims to have come from and the firearm industry. Take your money elsewhere. You’ll actually get training and a modicum of respect. Qualification or not. Two seconds of instruction and respect cost nothing. Not to mention Sharon does not follow state standards and seems to move his standards at will. Again, go elsewhere for your firearms and instruction/qualification needs. As for showing up on Sunday to teach his own class, I would expect as much from any self respecting “instructor”. Maybe remember your keys and don’t make your students wait an hour for you to have your “low wage, low knowledge” employees as you called them, bring them to you. Disgusted and will never use this place for any firearm need again and will spread the word for life.

Fair pricing. Nice shop.If you go here, seek out Sharon (sorry if not correct spelling). I ended up purchasing a firearm from him. But before I spoke with him, I was on my way out of the shop because an older male employee treated my mother and I poorly. He was one helluva jackass.Again, seek out Sharon- this guy is either a/the owner or a higher level manager; this is completely self-evident.

Review №72

Well Im currently deployed and while Im tax free I decide i wanted a new rifle just cause. After telling Sharon my list of rifles I wanted he help narrow down my list in till I finally choose my rifle. Here is the kicker he worked with my wife on every aspect of buying a new firearm and made her experience good enough that she said this is the store that I have to buy all my guns from now on. Also with all this I was a first time customer.

Rude and bad service. I tried to do business with these guys and got nothing but unprofessional treatment. I would not go back to this place of business again. I would go so far as to say these guys are not truthful (at least not with me) and people that dont tell the truth cant be trusted in business transactions. I got the gun I wanted from another shop that was very friendly and professional. As a bonus they didnt lie to me!

I have made several purchases at Maccabee Arms in the past, but my last visit will be my last. I was looking for a two pieces hand guard with a rail system for my custom built AR15 when the owner Sharon, invited me to bring it into his store. Then he proceeded to badmouth it saying it’s mostly Chinese parts. Nothing could be further from the truth. It’s all American, except the six-position stock, which is Israeli. Something you would think he should recognize. Then it downed on me what he was doing is using me to promote his 30 plus rifles hanging on the wall to the six other customers in the store. I have moved on and found everything I need at Juggernaut Arms and Sparks Black Rifle.
