An extremely knowledgable and friendly staff. When I walked in there I was greeted by pretty much everyone in there, even staff with customers, I could hear the staff teaching and explaining to customers about products in effective and pleasant manners. I also saw the staff go to great lengths to go and track down parts and other items that customers couldn’t find other places. One staff member had a guy come in specifically to see him to help him customize a rifle with parts. The staff member put all the items on the rifle and explained everything. When it was done the customer told him he’d be coming back again to see the staff member. From their exchange I could tell this gentleman comes in often to see that particular staff member. That’s some great customer service. Everyone other shop is cleared out of inventory, but these guys work hard to keep the cases filled with firearms, ammo, and accessories. The store also doesn’t price gouge which is great to see. Some other places treat you like you’re an inconvenience and I never saw that or felt that. And if they don’t have what you’re looking for they have no problem trying to order you the item or help you however they can. Even suggesting other places to purchase the item. Talk about customer service. Definitely would recommend. 5 out 5 Stars. My new gun shop.

The guys here are the absolute greatest! Patient, unparalleled professionalism, and down to earth. The communication via email is excellent, they get back to you within 1 business day even though I know they’re crazy busy. Last time I was in, a new gun owner (like so many others) was there at the same time, asking newbie type questions (we’ve all been there, right?) and the guy helping him extremely patient and took the time to answer his questions and provide adequate education. I picked up my transfer without a hitch. Was even able to snag some ammo they had in stock. Great service, best guys. Highly recommended.

The atmosphere here was inviting and relaxing to say the least, these folks stepped right up to make sure my questions were answered in their entirety. Prices are certainly competitive and their inventory was very impressive. Had a great afternoon, tons of eye candy to sade the largest gun appetite.

Staff is always friendly and knowledgeable about most firearms aside from the occasional odd piece. Was helped by a employee named Dan who held the firearm I wanted in advance for me for an expedient checkout. Good selection even during the panic buy. Strongly recommend a visit to those who havent been.

Great customer service and knowledge! I’ve really appreciated how they have cooperated with me while I’m working overseas and there’s not a lot of stores that will work with a schedule like mine. Anytime I’m in AZ I will def be stopping through Arizona Firearms for more of their 5 star service! Thank you guys!

This was the first gun store I visited when I first moved to Arizona. Since then I’ve visited other shops around the Phoenix area and non compare to Arizona Firearms Tempe location. The staff there is very friendly and are always helpful with any questions you may have. You are able to browse their wide selection of firearms without being hassled or pressured at all. My girlfriend who has just gotten into guns has gone there and loves this location as well over others we have visited. She is very new and never feels looked down upon when asking questions about a particular firearm. They are eager to share knowledge. Sometimes we like to visit just to talk to the staff, Dave especially. I recommend coming here for all your gun needs. Great people great selection and great prices.

Review №14

I went through this shop to have my gun shipped to me from another state. Bad experience. First, it took them A MONTH to respond to the other shop. Seriously??? Second, when i went to pick it up, the young man helping me clearly didn’t know what the $@$! he was doing. What should’ve been a quick pick up took me well over an hour (and I’m not counting the time waiting in line due to Covid requirements). He didn’t even know where to find the gun, asked me multiple times for the same info I’d already provided, etc. The lady at the door was nice, but otherwise it was a terrible experience. I won’t be going back.

(Was not asked to write this review) Even with all the current events going on, Arizona Firearms maintains a well oiled machine that is their shop. Stood in line about 45 mins, well directed by the nice and informative blonde lady, very friend and very helpful. I was assisted by Dan, and couldnt have had a better experience. Overall great experience. Cements why I always choose this store for my firearm needs, and will def. Be returning. (Visited on 4/20/2020)

Review №20

I was on a trip visiting family and wanted to purchase 3 boxes of pistol ammo to shoot while I was here and was turned down because I had a CADL. The person ringing me up was sympathetic but boss man said no. I asked if it was state law or store policy and he told me he had a problem with Californians buying ammo and taking it home. I’m giving this review 2 stars instead of 1 because at least they weren’t rude or lie about it.I wasn’t looking to do anything illegal but my purchase was denied out of anti Californian sentiment, not a good look for a business that should support second amendment freedoms whenever possible.

Consider looking elsewhere for your guns and ammo needs. Arizona fireams will leave you disappointed for walking in the door. Extremely overpriced ammo and poor selection of weapons and gear.

I went in to purchase a gun and the customer service was horrible they were immediately judgemental the second I was seenn, then I filled out the paperwork to get my background and everything still giving them a chance, then I was told its a 3day wait but I needed to come back in 4days I asked why they all had NO answer for my questions. When the 4th day comes I get there no change in attitude from anyone working. I proceeded to where the gun was located and it was sold.I asked whats up they explained we dont hold anything overall this was a first time at this location and my last I would not recommend them to anyone I do recommend that you see this store and honestly keep on driving.

WARNINGThis place is a total ripoffI bought a Smith & Wesson m&p 9 mm and the guy who did the paper work told me you can return it within 60 days full refund.i wanted the one with trigger safety not a thumb safety he said we dont have it but if u want get other item we will refund full amount and when i looked for the one with only the trigger safety 45cal was 570$ or they can refund a 300$ of 400$ . Pretty much they force u to buy a different firearm and pay extra money to not loose half of what u paid. Yall are a ripoff and i will tell all my friends about this place.money is nothing to me but the fact taking advantage of people

Review №33

The “great customer service” disappears VERY quickly when you’re doing the paperwork. I would absolutely NOT recommend this shop to any first time gun buyer. They make you extremely nervous when filling out the paperwork, they do a very poor job explaining the process to you and and will get very angry with you if you don’t know something that is common knowledge to a regular gun owner. Overall poor, rude, and hostile experience, walked away from a sale due to this and will be taking by business elsewhere!

Review №38

I was a frequent shopper at AZ firearms, was not thrilled with the shop but there was some ok deals here and there. I will no longer be going to the shop due to the fact that 4 of their employees were unable to explain to me some ATF law that prohibits the sale of under-folder rifles to gun owners between 18-20 where as other guns stores are legally able to sell them to people of the age. I was very dissatisfied with their lack of knowledge and help and will no longer be returning to do business there.

Recently moved from commifornia out to Arizona and the gentleman at Arizona firearms have given me the best service I could ask for. I’ve purchased 2 rifles from them so far with many more to come. They are extremely knowledgeable and have extremely competitive pricing. I now visit the store every week to see what cool new firearms they have in stock!

Hopped around town looking for a certain product. I called in asking what AZF had it priced at, and it was actually less than what Bass Pro had it up for. Cody helped over the phone, and assisted me while in-store. He was extremely polite, very knowledgeable and helped me key in on the right product for me. Very good experience.

Hands down best place best price, looking at the other reviews it’s like people expect others to hold their hands, I don’t need that, I don’t need smiles, I need results and great pricing, you get that here, if your looking for a hug or a cry closer go elsewhere, if your looking for selection, great prices and knowledge then there’s no better place, Tempe or Gilbert shops are 5 star

I purchased a used rifle from Arizona Firearms on Gunbroker. Unfortunately, when it arrived, I noticed it had some not-so-obvious, but substantive damage. The barrel was bent and the trigger guard was cracked in a place that you wouldn’t easily spot in a quick examination of the gun.I contacted them and showed them some pictures, asking if they’d issue a refund. They were very understanding and apologetic for the oversight. They immediately offered to make it right by either covering the cost of repairs or issuing a full refund.While it’s unfortunate that the gun didn’t work out, I was blown away by the integrity they showed during the whole process. Would not hesitate to do business with them again.

Thoroughly impressed with this shop. The staff was very helpful and helped me greatly... I traded in three guns and got a new one, and I was given a very fair deal considering I looked up what the guns sell outright. Highly recommended!Also of note... there were some LGBT couples shopping in the store, and the staff helped them out without any hesitation or discrimination. Props on them, and good for people wanting to have something to defend themselves with! I would definitely shop here again!

Review №69

If I could give this store a zero I would, we walked in looking to find a holster for our 2 hand guns. After working with an employee we were approached by Matthew, who stated you cant be here smelling like weed, it is a federal law. Of the 5 customers in the building, 3 Hispanic, 1 black man, and 1 white woman. For the record it was not us smelling so strongly, but did he tell anyone else this? No the individual smelling so strongly was allowed to stay in the building. The black man was profiled and told leave the store or they will call the cops. Upon leaving we went to the next store and watched to see if the actual culprit was asked to leave. After 5 minutes they still had not left.

Ive been here a couple of times to look around. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and was quick to answer any questions. I have never owned a firearm before and I was completely knew to them. It was a little intimidating since there is a lot to choose from but the staff here was happy to assist me and give me their advice. I ended up buying a firearm from here and the process was simple and fast. I am extremely happy with my purchase and how they handled their business. If you are looking to purchase a firearm have a look here before you visit a big chain store.

The personnel there is really friendly and knowledgeable. Even tough I never bought anything from them, just FFL transfers, they never tried to sell me something I didnt want. Probably the only store in the Valley that wont grab you immediately to sell you stuff. You can look as much as you want and make a decision. Also, they are as smooth as butter. Transaction with them is a breeze.

Review №88

Great inventory, but are really busy sometimes there. Customer service wasnt the best unless you talk to JP the owner or Pops.If you want a new gun always ask what the gun comes with... they sometimes swap the mags out or take the new ones and replace them with used ones. Also more than once I was told an item was brand new and it had obvious signs it had been fired before... also holster wear and nicks and dings etc.Make sure you know what your looking for, dont let them push a sale on you. On occasion they will BS you facts just to sell the gun.Other than that they have a huge selection and decent prices and I still do transfers with them.

I have been doing business with arizona firearms for two years. I always find what I am looking for and if I cannot find in store they can order exactly what I want from their online store. The staff is friendly and I always feel safe bringing my family and friends into this business. They beat many many gun stores like bass pro and cabelas in weapon, accessories and ammo prices. I Definitely recommend going to this shop.

Bought from here before. Used gun was damaged and the threads for the barrel extension stripped and it would come off when shooting.Obviously dont make sure what they sell used is in proper working condition.Otherwise most guys and gals in there are willing to help with but some acting like they already know everything.Great pricing otherwise only if you know what you are looking at.Continue: Well when you are a regular customer for over 8 years and get treated the way I did today NEVER will go back again.All around rude behavior from each employee at counter all five of them.Im not going to let someone try to rip me off. Lowballer offers on buying your used firearm.
