Their rep hit me up right away here on Yelp, and I made the drive a few days later to look into a Cerakote finish for my latest handgun conquest. Pricey for sure but my word does it look like a brand new firearm. I'm taking my wife's P22 there soon to get some fun color but the regular gunmetal finish I got for this Colt really is impressive. Cool little shop too, and I tbh I did enjoy some of the responses from the owner to a handful of digs on this platform too haha. More SBO should be this genuinely engaged.

They take the safety aspect very seriously and admonished me several times for not following the sequence or putting my finger on a trigger when not ready to fire. When you hear about all of these accidents, you realize if you do the steps the way you are supposed to do, it is impossible to have an accident. It takes the fear away and makes you more comfortable in learning this sport.

They are only closed 5 days a year. Cliff, the eldest of the RSOs is one of the kindest people I know. Even after having been deployed for many months, he would always welcome me back and tell me it was good to see me again, never asking questions about where or why I was gone so long. The newest part is the Cobalt Firearms Instruction team. Once again, superior quality people that, contrary to some of these low rating posts, really do give a darn about making sure their clients are well informed, well armed, and well schooled. I've the opportunity on several occasions to go back to the gunsmith area. Dave is an icon in the gunsmithing industry. The best in the business. But don't get mad if you bring in a rifle with a plugged barrel because you tried to fire a 308 through a 270 barrel. You're going to get a bit of schooling--and you deserve it. Now several of the negative posts mentioned ammo costs. Clark Brothers owns an outdoor range on one of the busiest highways in Virginia, less than 100 yards from the road that anyone can come and shoot, rent weapons and have a great time. The only condition is that you buy the ammunition there. If you think it's too expensive, drive to another gun shop, buy your ammo, and stand in the parking lot admiring yourself. The price of their ammo is not, I repeat not, overpriced, or people would go elsewhere. And finally, if you've ever spent time there you would know that there are many people who stop in the place more than several times per week. Why? Easy, good conversation, a little banter, and a constant turnover/supply of guns. Why is this important? Because people come in to sell their guns, or the guns if a lived one recently passed, and they are treated fairly, honestly and given multiple options with no pressure. Consequently, there are the old guard, ever present gun enthusiasts who are looking for their latest acquisition. Think of it as cheers without beer, but guns. I even saw them bring a chair out from their back rooms for an elderly gentleman to sit in while his paperwork processed. Go to Green Too and wait for a chair if you don't like the price of ammo. I'm headed back overseas soon. But I know when I get back Clark brothers will still be there and I'll be firing my hand cannons once again. VR

He's got a pulse on the industry and has never steered me wrong. If this is your first firearm experience, I cannot stress enough how important it is to have someone like Warren guide you through the process. I would compare buying from Paladin Tactical like getting fitted for a bespoke suit. Everyone is unique with tastes and requirements. I have not met anyone with more firearm knowledge than Warren and I've met quite a few folks in the industry. Paladin Tactical also offers firearms training. Warren is a certified instructor for all firearms except for black powder (sorry Davy Crockett). What better way to break in your new firearm than with some proper training from this tactical mentor. Training and ammo are the most important things to spend your money in after your firearms purchase.
