Barrows is actually a hardware and automotive store but they have a huge gun shop nicely spaced in the same location. It is the only place we recommend for firearms. The Southern gentleman that owns the place, he's a super guy, and I believe is in his 90s. They have just about everything you need for hunting game, target shooting or just for protection. You would never know that this little hardware store in Butler Georgia would have such a wonderful gun and ammo supply. We love it and we always stop by going in that direction or just take a little trip to the store. Check it out. read more

Great service and selection of guns, they're very helpful, I was a first time buyer and will be going back for my wife

Barrow graciously agreed to hold a gun for me until I could get down there on Saturday, March 8. I called March 5 to confirm. The disgusting lady who answered the phone curtly informed me that I hadn't come to get the gun, they restocked it, and hung up on me. I would encourage Barrow to prevent this lady from dealing with customers, and cordially invite her to KMA. read more

The best selection of firearms, the best prices anywhere, and the best best - the best people you could want to do business with. This is a family owned and family operated business that really does treat you like family. We love this place!!! read more

Very professional treat, polite willing to help. Excellent prices and fast process of the buy. The place has a huge variety and products in stock. Defined one of the best place to choose and buy any type of gun, shooting or hunting equipment read more

Very nice people to do business with . They were very fast in shipping NOT JUST COLLECTING your money like most sellers on Gun Broker. Paid for and shipped on same day . Nice people great speedy service A+A+A+A+A++++ . Would have chose 10 stars if they were there . ********** . read more

Unreal selection and pretty damn good prices! If you haven't been here you won't believe it until you see it!

What can I say. If you need to pick up parts to do a tune up on your car, or buy Browning Sporting shotgun, this is your best place to get them. They had the best selection of sporting guns I've found and was able to get my 20 gauge there when no one else had one. They are also a NAPA dealer. I guess this was a case where one thing just leads to another. read more

So many of my friends told me to visit Barrow's and they were right. The store is fully stocked and the staff is friendly and helpful. I will be back soon and often. read more

It's a shame Barrow Guns isn't closer to Atlanta. The selection and pricing would be a welcome and competitive addition to Atlanta area gun shops. 1st star -- shake your head funny location This place cracks me up. Google Maps lists it as an automotive shop. From the front, it's a hardware shop, complete with lawn mowers out front. Inside, it's a NAPA auto parts shop and car repair joint. Off to the side of these things, it's a hunting oriented gun shop whose entrance is surrounded by bagged game (e.g. deer, bear, etc.). 2nd star -- firearm selection. GA Firing Line (previously Nick's Gun Range, in Marietta), from my previous experience, has one of the best and most diverse selection of handguns available in Atlanta. That said, Barrow Gun Shop would give it a run for its money if it were anywhere close to Atlanta. Handguns were organized by caliber, then manufacturer, making it very easy to see the variety available in a particular caliber. Hunting rifles, shotguns and assault rifles are at the back of the shop once you make the L-turn past the 1911 handgun case. While not carrying as many Sig Sauers as I would like, this shop did have the largest selection of 1911 handguns I have ever seen, especially Kimbers. If you're desperate to own a Kimber with the current lack of inventory in Atlanta, Barrow Gun Shop might be a good bet. 3rd star -- firearm pricing. I would have to say that Barrow Gun Shop's prices were in line with the pricing at GA Firing Line. I found all the prices on the handguns to be in line with what I'd be willing to pay if I didn't want to walk in and negotiate on a gun. 4th and 5th stars -- too far from Atlanta. I went down to visit and see their selection after having found several nice auction items on GunBroker.com. The long drive (to Macon and a little more) almost demands that you be ready to make a purchase when you get there. Given their selection and pricing, however, makes the drive a helluva lot easier to sidestep in favor of a good deal. read more

Friendly Helpful Knowledgeable Stocked A venue of excitement for auto and gun enthusiasts !!! read more

been calling their number all day, day after day, ALWAYS a busy signal. HUH? Their facebook page and website are whacked, they take you to an auto body shop. How do you run a BUSINESS like that? read more

We love doing business with Barrows but you better call before you go. Their website says they open til 5:30 Monday - Friday but that is not correct. They close at 5:00 PM. FYI read more

It's exactly 50 miles from my house here and it's worth the ride every time. I've gotten everything from a flashlight, hex wrench set or leather work gloves to a great deal on several guns over the years. Good businesses like this one close their doors every day thanks to "I can get it cheaper on the internet". Well, that computer can't let you pick up two guns and compare them, answer your questions in a friendly, honest manner and remember your face and say "Hello!" like a real person can. That's Barrow Gun Shop. Sure it's in the middle of nowhere, but when you get home again, you'll know you've been somewhere nice and likely go again. read more

Two words: super overpriced. Great selection, but not worth the price. It seems like they have not figured out that they can use the internet to be more competitive with price matching and the like because what they consider is a discount is more expensive than what another FFL sells the same model and same condition firearm. Really disappointing. read more

Felt not welcomed, while everyone was getting tended to. I was standing waiting to be serviced like a customer but instead I was stared at with the worst look like a criminal. read more

Don't let all the other negative reviews faze you: these people don't seem to understand how pricing mechanisms work. And, well, I do. So, let me break it down for you: Barrow's is the best classic gun shop I've ever seen. Tucked away in the back of a hardware store in the non-descript Butler, Georgia, Barrow's crams more firepower per square foot than any place I've ever seen. The selection is absolutely endless. The staff is knowledgeable, focused, courteous, and helpful. So, why does everyone else give a low review? Price. Sure, Barrow's has the ability to maintain some pricing inelasticity as they are the only game in town--for miles aroused. Macon, the nearest city of about 100,000 souls, has nothing that compares with Barrow. Columbus, aside from the Fort, of course, doesn't have anything for comparison. And Atlanta? Well, I don't shop for guns there as I do not want to REALLY overpay. Getting back to the complaints... Most of the other reviewers here are upset that Barrow won't "match the price" they see on the Internet. What they don't understand is the price they see is the FFL dealer price. The dealer still has to pay shipping, ordering, insurance, inventory, and overhead costs before considering his own profit. It's a wholesale vs. retail price in a regulated market. So... not comparable. It's funny that when people unsucessfully try to play in the deep end without their floaties, they usually blame the deep water rather than their own inability to swim. read more

Amazing gun shop with a very helpful staff!! Many guns to choose from, can't go wrong going here for all your gun & ammo needs. Also connected to an Napa auto parts store........the gun part was packed when I went to have them put on a scope, so if trying to call just be patient!!! read more

This is a great gun shop. The prices are some of the best, and he has a huge in-stock assortment of firearms. I have bought a number of guns here and have never been disappointed in the service or the products. I drive there from Eatonton, and it is worth the trip. It is also a hardware store and an auto parts store. You can shop all day. read more

Amazing selection! Incredible prices! Awesome folks to deal with! I live in another state and it is worth the drive, even better if you get to spend some time talking with Mr. Barrow (that is worth the trip itself). read more

I had been looking to trade my ruger single action 45 long colt ; non convertible ; for a convertible ;shoots acp as well , with cylinder change ; this would give me a matched set , of convertibles ; they traded me pistol for pistol ; with very small dollar amount to accompany ,my trade in i was very pleased ; the staff were very friendly . southern hospitality and attentive to my questions , I am the worlds greatest skeptic of people and found myself ;buying a 25 dollar yeti coffee mug ;with their logo on it to show my appreciation ; of them treating customers so well . a great store read more

A lot of people swear by Barrow's but I find them to be overpriced. They have a good selection and a friendly staff. They tend to be more hunting focused instead of just firearms focused so it makes us non-hunting shooters feel a bit turned off. read more

Only place to shop! Incredibly nice and helpful people. Is always packed but we are always treated with respect and given all the time we need. read more

Where else can you go and buy a part for a tractor, a fan belt for a car, and a brand new Glock 17???? Awesome.

I have purchased several guns from them and always had a great experience and great price. Here in Macon , the same guns are a lot more expensive, the selection at Barrows is next to none , and if they don't have it, they will order it for you!! read more

I have been buying firearms from Barrow for a couple of years now and have found their service and inventory to be great great. Driving from Fayetteville means confirming ahead of time they have my product selection in stock and the price to be charged. I have found email works well for this as will a phone call. Their pricing has always been with or under most Atlanta area retailers and competitive with internet sources. I think the combination of businesses under one roof is both unique and a bit nostalgic. Having been in the auto parts business for many years (way before computers) I appreciate the completeness of this particular business. Two hour round trip but well worth it. read more

I don't know where these other people shop and say Barrows is high priced. I have looked all over other retail stores in middle GA and no one has better deals on firearms than Barrows. I have bought guns at Barrows because I couldn't find a better price at any local store. These folks are as nice as you can find and they have a super selection of guns. The only drawback from my point of view is the selection of accessories. They have tons of ammo, but the amount of extras is lacking some. I'm sold on Barrows and will be a repeat customer. read more

What a great place and family owned and run they have the best selection you will ever find lots of stock great prices even there grandchildren work there everyone has a vast knowledge of guns new and used I came from the gun industry and I am proud that the barrows treat everyone that walks in there door with respect and kindness the gun industry needs more shops like barrow guns also last year when black guns where flying off the shelf not only did they have all the guns they did not jack up prices they stayed the same price and did not gouge the customer read more

I have bought four guns from Barrow. I have been pleased with the price and the selection. It is also nice to call and get someone with gun knowledge and someone able to give you their best price on the same phone call. I live three hours from them and it is worth the drive. Thanks guys and keep up the great service. read more

Mr. Bo and all his help are friendly and educated. They run a brisk business but make you know they appreciate your business.

I love going to Barrows! Bought my first rifle there. 20 years later, took my son to get his first rifle there. TREMENDOUS SELECTION! Worth the drive from Atlanta. SUPER KNOWLEDGABLE AND GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! I am a repeat customer for guns and ammo. read more

Being a Beretta enthusiast, I was anxious to talk to these folks, but their phone system rings 6 times and then nothing! I wish I could let them know they are missing customer inquiries. Oh well! read more

Had a very bad experience. My husband and I have bought guns and other items from Barrows in the past and always felt good about the service. But when I went back with a friend, who had also purchased a gun from them in the past. Everything was different. We got there at 5:40, when we were asked if we needed help, I said my friend was there to buy a gun and were told imediately by a guy (I guess he worked there, didn't seem to have much knowledge or maybe he just didn't care) that they would be closing shortly. We said that was okay we knew what we wanted. It was between two guns. She decided on a Colt 45 and a holster for the 38 she already had. She did ask if they could get her a different grip for her 38 and was told she would be better off getting it in Warner Robins and not driving all the way back. We thought we were finishing up the transaction and they started turning out the lights. He put the gun back in the case and walked away. We were in shock, that he just walked away from a sale of about $1,500, gun, holster and ammo. She was also considering another small gun, so it would have been more. I didn't shop, because he let me know there was not enough time to buy something for my husband for Valentine's Day. They must not work on commission. When we went out to her truck, I looked at the time it was 5:58 and everyone came out and locked the door. Guess it's a good thing Academy Sports is coming to Warner Robins.

I heard great things about Barrows, but the Saturday I was there, they were super busy, and way under staffed. Great selection of guns, but I couldn't get waited on. Spent over an hour, finally the owner walked by, I asked if he could help me, he kept walking and mumbled "later"...I went to columbus and bought an AR15 and a S&W 44 mag. read more

I have purchased 7 firearms and ammo and a safe, which by the way was more than half price any where else I had shopped. My hunt club is west of town and I always go by barrows when I go to town to ramble. Best place for shopping for firearms. Even better I can pick up a sparkplug for my 4-weeler and check out the guns too. read more

I went to BUY a gun just before Valentines Day, I was ready to buy that day. I was also going to buy a gun for my son some ammo and a holster for my 38. When a friend and I got there it was about 20 mins before closing and I knew what two guns I wanted to look at. The guy who was supposed to help us informed us they were closing soon. He had a bad attitude and guess he was upset he might be late for dinner. Anyway, I literally had the gun in my hand, had holster on the counter and they started turning off the lights, he took the gun from me put it back in the case and said we are closing. It was not even 6 yet, I have a permit to carry and it would not have taken that long to buy the gun. When we got there the first words out of our mouth was we are here to buy a gun, needless to say I did not spend my money there. I was also told to just order what I need in Warner Robins so I wouldn't have to drive back to the store. Guess they are doing so well they didnt need my $2000 that I was doing to spend. Oh, I forgot my friend was also looking for a gun for her husband which would have been another $500 or so. Anyway, I guess I'll just get what I need in Warner Robins. No need to drive there since they do not need the business. read more
