I had an awesome experience at Best Defense Armory. Erik helped me locate the gun I wanted through another dealer, had it delivered, and completely modified my gun so it was exactly what I wanted and ready for the range. I highly recommend this veteran owned company!

Great local shop! Very knowledgeable, solid prices, and a really comfortable feel. And the products they carry seem to all be from very reputable manufacturers. I snagged this rifle bag, and couldnt be happier!

Exarmy so I’ll be real. Wrote a long review, but to keep it simple. Horrible experience more than once. There’s better ways to approach paying customers than with ignorance. Complete lack of respect. The 2 guns showing are both inoperable new from their website. Pay attention to the fine print range release. They will not give you anything else with range rules and then will humiliate you in front of all the other customers and employees. As said ExArmy and for vets themselves they can’t even fix a 5 minute AR adjustment and then in my case charge 120 for not fixing it. I fixed it myself after. Horrible gunsmiths, new guns in my case from them won’t even work. And don’t bring any loud guns to the range people will complain. I know a gun range usually is loud. More than 3 strikes. Membership canceled and not paying for trash service or guns anymore.
