They have ALWAYS been the BEST!! Knowledgeable, helpful, honest pricing, etc. Sure hope they aren't closed for good. That would be very sad indeed. read more

I have moved out of state, but have bought various firearms from the family when I lived in the area. Did you complainers get that word "family"? Its a mom and pop shop. Yes, some firearms are less expensive elsewhere and that is because of volumn discounts to larger stores. To you complainers, shop elsewhere as the vast majority of commemts like the family and doing business there. No one forced you through the doors so try and not let the door hit you in the ass on the way out as this store has been around for a long time and that says a lot for a small mom/pop/son shop as in repeat and referal business. read more

I love BearArms. This is the only gun store that I like to go and visit. I've purchased all of my collections firearms from Sig Sauer, Beretta, Girsan, Colts, and Glocks, ammunition, range bag etc. It's family own (Pop's, Becky, and Jay) that's what I like the most. Very knowledgeable and very helpful, will answer all your questions. I love browsing through their websites store and checking out varieties of guns they have. Some are in the website and some in store. And if they don't have it in store they'll get from their website store. I can understand why , it saves inventory and space. Ok your probably thinking why not go another gun store that have the gun in stock. Why ? I like my guns untouched by too many hands. I love it when I get the call from Jay that my gun has arrived and I am the only one opening the gun case. besides the manufacturer and of course the BearArms to check the gun. Then you comes to the store sign paper and payment and then comes the dreaded 10 days wait period. Visit the store and check out their website store. My experience with BearArms friendly, knowledgeable, clean atmosphere, and organized. I will continue buying my guns from BearArms. Thank you BearArms. read more

I've had many contacts with the folks at Bear Arms and every interaction was positive and helpful! I have made multiple purchases of products available in the store and have never been disappointed! read more

Nice folks but there was nothing in stock. Felt bad for the employees there and it just looked like the store had nothing to offer. Nice folks but save your money and time. The owner relied and no need to apologize. I was just perusing and had no intention to purchase given the current firearms industry state. Selling luxury items is not easy and applaud you for keeping a nice and clean store! read more

I am the service member in your parking lot that you refused to sell to because I am in the military. Your words not mine. I am a resident of the state by orders. I am a CCW holder I have 21 years of service and have fought 3 foreign wars. Shame on you. Your excuse that you don't understand the laws is unbelievable. You saying you've made a "business decision" to not sell to members of the military shook me. It was a quiet ride back to the base. I hope your future business reflects that you don't know your job nor care to. read more

Great service. Lots and lots of guns to choose from at reasonable prices. I got treated way better than at SW where I used to shop. Bought a little Glock 43X from them and was able to pick it up sooner than 10 bus days period. I know where I am buying my next firearm. read more

jay and Becky took great care to make sure everything went smoothly and the text follow ups were appreciated .i will be buying another pistol from them in the future. read more

YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED! This company refuses to sell firearms to military servicemembers. My husband arrived in his service uniform to buy a firearm and was told no, because the owner says he "made a business decision". After more than 20 in active duty service, this completely gutted him, tore right into his heart! Terrible terrible business! Discriminatory. Complete and utter disgusting discrimination. To the owner: You Should Be Ashamed Of Yourself. I will never EVER do business with a company that refuses to sell to the very women and men that protect the very right to BEAR ARMS! I hope that this review hits home, Bear Arms, and that you rethink this "business decision" of not selling to our soldiers. !! Ashamed! read more

Excellent service and knowledgeable staff. Appreciate it. Their inventory is low, as everywhere is currently. But we will definitely be back here in the future. Don't allow the snowflake comments and 1 star reviews stop you from visiting here. Read the comments to these posts and have a good laugh. read more

Hands down they best place to purchase firearms. They are personable, knowledgeable, and very helpful. Encouraged me to try out the firearms I was interested in at a local range to make sure of what I wanted. This was a big risk on Jay's part knowing if you do not close the sale you risk it. Earned my business right there. Loyalty is everything. Did as suggested and was thankful because I actually changed my mind. Returned two days later and made the purchase. To address any 1 star or bad reviews I would say those people did not take the time or effort to get to know anyone at the store. When there are no small businesses left you will only have yourself to thank. BEAR ARMS NAILS IT. read more

Just recently made two purchases. Like most gun stores not huge amount in stocks. Very easy to order anything you want. Took less than 2 weeks. It's a family owned business so I really like it. I'll definitely be going back. read more

I've lived near this shop ever since it opened. Wasn't really into guns so much back in the day. But now I am quite interested in owning one for protection as well as shooting practice at the range with friends. I'm glad I decided to come in and check these guys out. They have very competitive prices on their merchandise. I literally shopped around on the internet and calling shops and they beat the others buy a decent margin. They also have an certified in-house Glocksmith. It's definitely a family run business. I was treated with politeness and all of my questions were answered. These guys really know their stuff. Background check was completed very fast with a cwp. They can do drop transfers also, & they have an online catalog to shop what is available. They also sell teddy-bears and model train sets and equipment which is a neat business combination style imho. I mean why not? My advice is if you want something, check out their website and then call for the next delivery on it. They update their website every 15 minutes the guy told me. I look forward to shopping here again. :-) read more

See all

Recently made couple of purchases. Wasn't sure on model, after talking with Jay he new the correct model and was able to place my order. Took less than two weeks and they arrived. It was exactly what I wanted. I have made purchases here before with same good results. I really like the cash discount. Good prices. read more

0/5 stars for this place. Went in before for ammo and the owner/worker was hella rude. Almost went back in here to buy a gun then remembered that shit he pulled. And all the other reviews on this place are terrible. Go anywhere but here! read more

This is a great place for a shooting enthusiast! The store was great to do business with! I purchased a Mossberg 590A1 Tactical Tri-Rail Adjustable Stock shotgun from them; a soft sided shotgun case, targets, range flags, hats -- and I'd have purchased much more had someone not come in and cleaned out all the 12-gauge shotgun ammunition. The people who own this store are great ambassadors to the shooting world. They are very knowledgeable and helpful, not pushy at all like some firearm stores. They told me what they thought when I asked their advice, which was not self-serving. What's most appreciated about them was that they treated me with respect and dignity -- which was far more than I received at some major stores (such as being addressed "honey" by someone who did not get my business) or having someone tell me what I should get ("my girlfriend carries this gun..." which was a wimpy little .380 ACP noisemaker, when what I wanted to purchase was a Nighthawk T-3 1911 in .45 ACP: he wanted to sell me a $450 pistol and talked himself right out of a $5000 sale that day). I've already started my wish list -- and as they treated me so well, they've earned my loyalty. Excellent customer service and prices. It's such a delight dealing with people who hold themselves to a very high level of integrity. read more

Staff was very helpful with suggestions regarding renewing my expired drivers' license online. In a stressful time, they were kind. I will definitely return for a purchase. read more

They are an average gun selection store, offering more on line, which you can do on line with Walmart, as well. You do like to feel the gun in your hand and I would prefer to shop local and family business, this family is more than snooty in their store hospitality. On the phone he was arrogant and rude, boasting of their family business. Arrogance and ignorance are the number one reason small businesses do not grow. With 30 years of retail sales, I can attest to that. Ignorance is simply a lack of knowledge or understanding and arrogance is to self important to learn Every phone call is a customer and he forgot who he works for; the customer. Being rude in retail never works well. When you have a bad experience with a store how many people do do you share with in your area. I live in Maple Valley and we have lots of gun owners. Sadly I was warned of this by a neighbor and they were correct, you are better of going to Walmart. read more

Purchased a shotgun from them, the whole process was very simple, and they were very kind. Cabela's and all the other stores want to make you wait 10 days for a shotgun like it's a semi automatic rifle. Which is totally not the law but they do it anyway to just make more red tape for us, bear arms did not do this to me, they treated me with respect, this will be my go to place from now on to purchase firearms read more

I love stopping in here! Staff is super kind and knowledgeable. Loved talking to Becky!! Thanks y'all.

I had a positive experience purchasing accessories. The owner was helpful and readily answered any questions. I'm a new fire arm owner so I appreciated the help. read more

Just another shop running a "Private Transfer" scam. If the "buyer" fails the NICS the seller by law DOES NOT need to go through a NICS to get their firearm back. But this shop makes you do that any way just to squeeze $40 from you. And $40?!! REALLY?!! What a rip! Go to Pantel and get it done for $25. read more

I recently purchased a new handgun and fortunately did not read reviews before hand. They had to order it, so they did my background check while waiting on gun to come. I was helped by Becky and Jay. They made process easy and they were helpful. The gun came in timeframe explained. I had no issues with customer service. They did a good job with me. Based on my experience I would go back again. Thanks. read more

Bear Arms was prompt in responding to an inquiry I made regarding the availability of 10 mm ammunition over google maps. When I went to the store they were polite and professional. It's interesting to read the poor reviews usually from spoiled brats who expect everything to be cheap and easy. The customer that complained about arrogance likely cannot deal with another human being being direct and to the point with him. This is a professional business that takes itself seriously. I highly recommend Bear Arms. read more

I have bought several firearms from Bear Arms. I have been extremely happy every time. They do thorough background checks and get you what you purchase in a timely manner. I'm on the hunt for a couple of different new firearms and I will definitely be using this company. read more

I have been into this store on several occasions. they di not have the items I was looking for, but guess what they resourced it found the product a CZ kadete along with multiple magazines for my new 22lr and for my other pistols and ordered the items for me. I was happy with the service. I did not compare prices with other online sites. They were wonderful people to do business with and are a great local resource. I am a novice gun owner and they will listen to all of your questions. read more

So I've purchased multiple items here since I was 21. So a decade of experiences before posting review. I really like & respect the whole, "your purchase supports a family put food on the table, a little girl get music lessons, etc.". BUT, as a business, you need to treat the people whom support you so you can do those things with a drastically greater amount of service. When you call this place on the phone, there is no message option. Its either they answer the phone or you listen to a message and it hangs up. People are calling because they want to support your trips, kids lessons, etc. Multiple times I have stood at the counter and just waited for minutes, sometimes a very uncomfortable amount of time before ANYONE greeted me. One guy is in a sent through office. One guy in a cubicle to the right. One woman working on something. Not a single person in there but me... Standing there.. With a GUN case... Waiting... To try and give you money to support your family go on trips, pay for lessons, etc. A lot of people are not comfortable with firearms. They are looking for someone they can trust and rely on to help them understand what they are buying and that it is the best choice. If they already know what they want, they would go online and get it from armslist or something. My Point: stop being like all the other gun stores that hire people that don't know how to take care of people. Start giving a shit about the people and try actually helping someone learn something or have an experience. read more

I have dealt with this family firm for many, many years.They have IMO,always met my needs {as to purchasing several fire arms,equipment, ammo, etc. + they were/are polite and professional. BTW = I was a sr. NRA TC & CRSO ( involved with the lg. range @ Ravensdale. + served multi other ranges) I just retired after 45 years (I'm 78), but I still carry & shoot.(just today bought ammo from them) I highly recommend Them !!!! read more

Awesome store, great prices, got exactly what I was looking for. Everyone friendly and very knowledgable

First off, let me say that I believe in the protection of the second amendment, and believe that the right to bear arms (while unfortunately a losing battle when looked at as its original intention) should be upheld. However... IN MY OPINION... I do not think it in the best taste to have a teddy bear collectible shop and a gun shop operating in the ?complimentary? fashion that these two businesses are. I entered thinking that it was a build-a-bear workshop type of establishment, and was utterly shocked. Yes, it's a great amount of inventory, and if you're looking for guns, guns, and more guns, this is a good place to go. However, if you're looking for stuffed bears, I would suggest taking the kids to a different establishment or going without them. Note: I would have posted this on the Once Upon A Bear yelp page, but there is only this one, and as they are operating as one business umbrella, it is fitting. read more

Good guys helped me find a limited edition handgun no one else had. The owner knows his stuff and is very helpful in everything from firearms to local and federal laws. Fully recommend! read more

Today I came here with a friend for a FFL and it was a really decent experience. So this review will pertain to the FFL transfer rather than gun purchase. Service: The couple who works here are really kind and helped us through the FFL process with a lot of care and understanding. I've transferred guns before and this is by far the best service I had. Price: FFL was $25 which is the cheapest you'll probably find in the area. Overall: This place is a 5/5 in terms of FFL transfer. I would honestly drive 15 miles to do an FFL here because of how smooth it went. read more

I'm not the big gun person - my boyfriend is. Not that I'm against them, I'm just like... Okay.... LOL anyways this place is pretty solid! The owners are an older couple, and they're really nice. They aren't super talkative, but they try and make conversation and try and crack jokes to get ya to laugh. The place was really clean and very organized. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars though was because it seemed like they didn't have much product. It's a small place though, so you can't blame them. I know my boyfriend goes here time and again for all his gun needs, so it seems they're doing something right. read more

Limited selection of firearms in store, mostly online. Decent prices, nothing amazing as far as good deals. I was satisfied with my purchase, but I probably would not buy a firearm here unless it was a screaming deal. The staff was friendly and wasn't offended when I asked about any discounts, which some gun store employees get offended by for some reason. read more

First of all, Don't believe DEE R.'s Review. Look at her account. She posts anti- Trump reviews at places shes never been. So I would be surprised if she was actually there. She lies then cusses out people in private message. So just know that DEE R. Is a liar. This store is polite to everyone and follows all laws. read more

I had a very pleasant buying experience here. Doesn't make sense to stock all sorts of firearms if everyone has different tastes, that would be tons of overhead. Purchased a gun with no complications or concerns whatsoever. If you don't know what you want in a firearm, goto a range and rent a few. Once you know what you want, you can have it ordered... unless you have a ccw, you have to wait anyway... I dont recall seeing teddy bears, just nice folks. read more

Very helpful and honest, repeat customer, would recommend. They are very upfront and knowledgeable with all my questions and purchase

Buying my first gun and the experience was SUPERB! I was in there about a month ago and they did not have the item in stock. I returned a month later, with a phone call ahead of time because I'm coming from 40 minutes away, they had my dream gun in stock. I went into the store and was greeted by 2 or 3 sales associates saying "hi". Very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and accommodating. I like to support local businesses as there is more of an invested interest in their business. This was definitely the case. I met Eric, Nate & Roger. Great interaction with each of them. After many questions, I decided to commit to my dream piece. Eric set me up and explained everything about the handpiece. The cleaning, lubricating, operation, and takedown and I took it down in front of him to ensure I was doing it right. He spent a solid hour with me reviewing my purchase. The background check process was easy as I had a CCW. No issues. Handshake to seal the deal. You will not be disappointed with Bear Arms Arizona shop. Thank you, Guys! I love my Mr. Walther! read more

Overpriced and not that considerate the times I've been in. I will say they did all there paperwork correctly and the firearm I purchased was what I wanted. Seams they were at least $100 overpriced at the time I bought it. Closest one to my home for purchases and highly doubt I'll use them again. Buy at your own risk, and don't be afraid to do some price matching at other shops. Try Cabella's or a reputable name like that. Well worth the drive and a hell of a lot more inventory. read more

I've been buying from Bear Arms for about 10 years now, probably close to a dozen guns. The folks have always been helpful and friendly. They have helped me with purchases for home defense, concealed carry, and training/competition. Most recently I purchased two handguns and a rifle for competitive cowboy action shooting. I have no problem recommending this store to people. I don't understand the reviews where people jab at the people in the store or their "business model," unless the reviewers have an agenda - wink-wink (read carefully). They do keep on-hand inventory low but they're running a gun store in western Washington, who can blame them for keeping overhead down. If you have a need for something or questions, talk to them and they will most likely work with you if possible. They did a transfer for me some time back on a vintage Colt Python. They offered to keep specific brand/type of .357 ammo on hand if I needed it. read more
