Stopped in to get a gun repaired. I dealt with Pope and he absolutely knew what he was doing. I was impressed with the inventory of guns as well. I highly recommend them. read more

The owner is the most RUDE person I've ever come across in a business. And I'm 69 years old! You don't call people stupid to their face and expect to get a good review. read more

Went in a few weeks ago for the concealed carry class and to purchase a firearm. Guys were knowledgeable and helpful with all my questions regarding cancel carry. A few days ago I took 2 firearms in for repair, one of the guys checked them out and was able to correct the issue within a few minutes. I highly recommend AFT for any purchase of firearms and repair needs read more

Advanced Firearms Training - First Aid Classes Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

Wanted to buy another firearm so what better than go to the place where I had one of the best experiences. Sadly the past is the past. They didn't have the firearm I was looking for so I asked the guy if it was something they could order. He says "yeah, and shipping here would probably be the best." He was listing a firearm on gunbroker so I figured he'd do that and then I'd be able to order what I was looking for. So like 10 minutes roll by and dude is still screwing around on his phone and I think "did this guy mean that I should order it from someplace and have it shipped to them so I'd have to pay them to do the transfer???". The store was empty so he could have passed me over to one of the other workers in the shop if he was going to take while. I liked this place cause it was local and wasn't a big box store but now I regret it. Took my business to another gun shop and had a way better experience. Won't be coming back. read more

Good people in here. The owner is really nice, brought my son in he handed us some of the craziest hand crafted pieces of fine art I have ever laid hands on... Gave us some free sodas. I did an FFL transfer on site. Would/will certainly do business with them again. read more

absolutely great shop. As a woman, I'm often pushed off or treated poorly in these shops. At ATF they made me feel welcome. the team is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. read more

Now granted isn't my go to spot and their prices are usually just the hair above the other places locally... That said anyone of these stores existing in Portland is a blessing because we all know how mixed up Portland is, and where they put their priorities... So it's nice to be able to have something for a hobby that I've enjoyed to the kid and people to be able to make a living in that. Stopping every once in a while in my window shopping always looking for used to pick me up's and other good options there transfer prices are through the roof probably because they want you to purchase through them and really to be honest. A lot of prices are 5 to 10% over local prices but again that's kind of how every store is plus or -5 or 10% might just be what makes you shop where great selection amazing staff definitely worth stopping in for window shopping or if you need to purchase read more

I've only had 4 interactions with them, but on each of these visits I encountered friendly and pleasant staff (even the lady with the harsh sense of humor), who showed me patience once they understood I'm a bit of a neophyte in this hobby. On my most recent visit, I needed help with the final few wrench twists on a new build since I don't own the right equipment, and they offered to do so gratis, thus completing what I started by buying an lower receiver from them about 2 months ago. Ultimately, my decision to continue to use them as my go-to's for when I need something quick (or another pair of eyes to look at a situation) probably comes down to convenience of location, but that doesn't change the fact that I genuinely like the store and the interactions I've had with the people inside it.. They have a sense of humor (such as the "range candy" vending machines at the front) and they're as personable as I can imagine gun enthusiasts can be. As others have mentioned here, the prices are a little steep, but I'm willing to put up with that if it means convenience. All in all, not a bad place to visit. read more

This is the place to go for all your firearms needs. They have a great selection of arms, ammo and great sales personnel. Their training classes are AAA in my book! Professional instructors that have the experience and top class training to teach. You gotta check them out! read more

Very cool spot. Very attentive and knowledgeable staff. Friendly. Inviting. Will definitely be my primary source for things locally from now on. read more

This place is awesome. Even free drinks! Knowledgeable staff, and decent prices. Glad I found you.

Excellent! They are always super helpful! I've bought several guns from them! They have a great selection and if they don't have it they will get it! read more

Great shop! My business is always welcomed and customers are treated like friends. I am a loyal customer and always recommend others to shop here. read more

All of the bad reviews are from the previous owner. The current owners/employees have been nothing short of amazing, always providing top notch customer service and competing with online prices, which is very difficult to do in the gun world. Often times, they've even helped me out free of charge just for being chill with them. Great group of people, will always recommend to friends and family to do business here. read more

If your looking for quality, this is where you won't to be! The atmosphere, conversation as well as the hospitality is amazing. The new owners are awesome! As I'm looking around I didn't see any junk weapons that could put your life in danger and what they sell is good quality. I take that as a comfort that they take your life seriously (if ever there was a in the heat of the moment.) I would recommend a visit as well as buying from here......this is my new store! read more

In the last 2 years this place as expanded and become pretty awesome. Easily the #1 for Guns and Training in Gresham if not the county. Most of the staff is prior military and all are extremely knowledgeable. Selection of gear, firearms, ammo and spare parts is pretty much unparalleled as far as I've seen. Maybe 1 or 2 other stores in Oregon can compare. I've also used their gunsmithing services and they're working on expanding those services to include custom holsters and cerakoting. I go in about every day just to grab something new. Plus the free beer, wine, soda and the ammo by the pound is nice read more

Great prices and they have a little bit of everything in stock. The owner and Megan behind the counter are awesome, In great moods and ready to help you. They are happy to answer questions also. This gun shop is just what we need in our community, refreshing new inventory with crazy variety. This is the place to go read more

Best gun shop around, you can't beat the service and they do a phenomenal CHL course as well.

Spent about $600 there buying a pistol, ammo, and holster. The grouchy old man who sold it to me was rude and he rushed me. When I asked what holster I needed for the pistol, he just walked over to the wall, grabbed a package, walked back, and tossed it toward me without saying a word. Don't know if he was trying to be "cool", but it was incredibly rude. If anyone is looking for some quality service with people who actually want to help you while buying a firearm, go to Keith's Sporting Goods down the street. Ever since my encounter with the grouch at Advanced Firearms, I go to Keith's to purchase all my ammo/firearms. Don't bother wasting your time and getting treated like shit when you have a quality, experienced team of professionals at Keith's. read more

Best family owned and operated store I've ever been too. I enjoy giving advanced my money. All new owners. Friendly, helpful, and willing to go the extra mile! read more

Great place to buy and learn about guns. Jr is a solid guy with a lot of knowledge and its not all about guns made me feel like I was at my cool cousins house. Definitely will come back. read more

answer yr phones. I tried and tried but you denied, so I gave up

Straight up first class. AFT believes in giving back to the community in a number of ways. On top of that great products, great prices, super helpful and friendly. Even if you have to drive a bit it's going to be worth it. Simply can't go wrong with this team working with you. We are now regular customers that keep going back!!! read more

Strict purchase limit. Overpriced. And they pulled some insult about my appearance out of thin air (one of the employees determined I didn't look as if I could afford a hundred dollar raffle) and, well, something about stones and glass houses comes to mind but really I need only say it's just dreadful customer service. *I was going to enter the raffle until the insult. What I bought were 12 ga shells and 9mm rounds and those worked fine. So as far as that goes, two stars, I guess. Barely! read more

I've bought several firearms from them and have had a positive experience every time. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Wait time is typically way less than other shops in the area. If they don't have it in shop, they can let you know where to look. 5/5, would recommend. read more

Love coming into this place for my ammo , the staff/owners are always helpful. Huge firearm selection with plenty of good deals!

Great shop with a staff that engages in conversation and showed patience with us in choosing our pistol. We spent about an hour going through different guns as Ron explained features of each with no pressure from him to purchase any specific gun. He also showed us a wide price range. We settled on a G19 and a SCCY. Bert helped us with holsters and they have a great dog named Sunny. We had a great experience and appreciated how we were treated. Plus, local business. read more

Wow. I will tell you straight up, if you're looking for an honorable place to go to purchase or trade/sell a fire arm, don't go anywhere else but AFT. I personally worked with Ron, what a great guy, served as a policeman for many years, Tony, the shop owner is a great guy as well. But I went in because I wanted to trade a firearm for something more suitable for my needs, and wow, they helped me so much with educating me on what to look for and their personal opinions from years of experience, and on top of all that, they even provide fire arms training classes and help get you your Conceal Carry permit. Been to many shops over the years and have never been treated with so much respect by Ron, and he made sure I got exactly what I needed, even worked with me on price, got an AMAZING deal on a very high quality firearm. Thank you AFT and most of all, Thank you Ron for your outstanding help and thank you for your 28 years of service for our Gresham Police Department. Once again, I went in knowing I would probably walk out with something....this place treats you like a human being, unlike other shops in the area that only help you if they know you or your some kind of law enforcement. This time I again was helped by none other then Ron Rowley, and Tony, the shop owner. Who let me pull out about 16 different handguns to feel all sorts of differences and what to look for when buying handguns for specific purposes. They WILL work around your price range, too. I was so impressed with the service and info that I got, I ended up buying accessories as well as ammo, which surprisingly is cheaper then Bi-Mart. If I need anything gun related, they will have it or get it over nighted for you. They also do some smithing as well, any upgrades you're nervous about doing on your own? They'll do it super super cheap. Also a big thing to note is they are also a training center, so if you want your CCW, sign up for their class, there's none like the ones they hold in the area. And very well priced. They also take photos and get you stamped so you can run an Short Barrel Rifle or a suppressor. Very informative and knowledgeable, and if you can't find it, they will get it. Thank you, again, Mr. Rowley and Tony for running the best shop in the area by far, and your choice of employees. I love my new carry gun. If I could add another star I would. read more

Exceeded all my expectations today, and earned a customer. Friendly, efficient, well stocked. Thank you for the great transaction and experience. I'll be a return customer. read more

I had a very concerning interaction with one of the owners or someone who works there by the name of Jeremy. He made a few comments to me regarding my appearance while who I think is his wife was right around the corner. Never have I walked into a store and felt more uncomfortable and grossed out by what someone has said to me. I will definitely not be coming back here again, watch out ladies. read more

I dropped off a 1911 almost 2 months ago that I purchased from this establishment. I was going to upgrade the safeties and put a new hammer in and was told that it would be no problem. Was quoted a reasonable price and was excited to have the work done. I've spent thousands of dollars at this place, so I had no reservations when it came to asking them to perform some more work. Initially the process was very bumpy. Several weeks in a row I was told that the part was still needing to be ordered so somebody was dropping the ball there. After I was told, the part was finally ordered and it would be picked up within a couple days. I brought my pistol in to get it serviced, and was told it would be a week or so before I would get it back. Over a month of no communication and no phone calls back from the owner, and I still didn't know what was going on. I was being told that parts were still needing to be ordered, even though I was led to believe that had already taken place. Once I was assured, they were finally ordered and in hand, they told me that they would start getting the parts taken care of and put on. it must've passed through at least three gunsmiths hands because every time I would call after that it seem like they were waiting on someone else to work on it. I finally spoke to the owner a few days ago to touch base and make sure that everything was coming along smoothly and he didn't even remember all the stuff I was trying to get done. This is well after a month of him having it and saying he's getting these parts ordered and getting it all lined out. Well yesterday I got the phone call that none of the parts will fit actually and instead of it being around $150 to do the work it's going to be closer to $1100. Obviously I didn't go that route as I only paid 700 for the pistol, so I went to pick it up. Upon talking to him, he never apologized for the terrible communication, the total let down that was him assuring me parts would go in seamlessly, and it would be done timely (which never even happened), I get a hold of my pistol and it has scratches and nicks all around the area they were working. I let him know that I'm disappointed and frustrated, and I point out how the pistol is beat up and he proceeds to tell me that he will not hear another word of it. He tells me how there's no way he or the other two gunsmith could've possibly damaged my pistol anyway, and that he's not going to hear any more of this conversation. There was no apology, there was no bedside manner. Nothing but a grumpy guy behind the counter, who is clearly embarrassed he didn't have the ability he said he did. On a positive note, he did tell me that I could trade it in and purchase a new pistol LMAO. Save your money and find a better shop. If you MUST rely on these guys get plenty of pics of your guns before you bring them in. read more

Not sure how you could give Tony's store anything but 5 stars. I have been to Advanced many times, sometimes for info/advice others for purchases, each have been filled with a wealth of knowledge and advice on how to spend hard earned money without being wasteful (don't buy junk you don't need). The prices are spot on what you will find around town and even lower (from what I have found) at gun shows. Tony's not lookin to make all his money off your one purchase and he's very upfront, a standup guy in a shop is what I would say. Giving solid advice. The biggest thing I've have found great with this shop is that if I don't know about a product and ask a question I get a straight answer, or info why it may or may not be as good as the product next to it. I don't feel that I'm being B.S'd to get another sale, which I appreciate. I enjoy the crowd/following that Tony has, it is definitely a family feel, the shop dog is great, the store is not intimidating and if you go there asking solid questions I think you'll leave happy with whatever you do or don't buy. read more

Been here several times for ammunition, questions etc. Always helpful and always friendly. Will certainly keep going here. Some other places might have more but I would rather have customer service here than other places that just stare at you like your ruining their day. I love this place! read more

Awesome customer service at this place. Came in the have my barrel nut removed from my AR-15 and replaced with a low profile barrel nut (I would of done it myself but I don't have the right tools for the job) Was very quick job. Next day I came in to have my muzzle device tightened/secured on (I believe Tony helped me) and he did a great job and didn't charge me a fee! Awesome guy! Thank you! I'll definitely be back for more business. read more

Bought a gun on GunBroker.com and needed an FFL holding recipient for the transfer... 6/20-6/24 my purchased revolver sat in a shipping box with a UPS label waiting for a copy of their FFL to be sent while myself and the seller kept on prompting... Finally, disappointed, I arranged with an alternative recipient. I was in their shop once and their inventory is impressive, however a transfer is a basic service which should have been able to be arranged same day. read more

This is a wonderful friendly place. A great bunch of guys that are very helpful and full of knowledge. Best gun shop in the Gresham area. Thanks for all your help fellas. read more
