I ordered 12 gauge in January 2023 and was told 3 times it was coming from a different warehouse. Never came. I call and am told to leave a message multiple times. Never called back. I emailed multiple times and never answered. Are they going out of business. I wish I knew. Do not order from here ever. They never take your call and never respond to emails. read more

Purchased a SIG SRD9 suppressor off of them on 10/22/2020. It still has not arrived at my FFL. Whenever I ask about it I am told the Form 3 is still pending. In the same time frame I ordered three other suppressors, had the Form 3s clear, my FFL received them, submitted the Form 4s for them and had the checks cashed by the ATF. I believe BDU sold me a suppressor that was not in stock and is claiming the Form 3 is still pending until the suppressor is available. I asked for a copy of the submitted Form 3 and they refused to provide it. I should have been suspicious when they claimed to have 209 in stock - but given BDU's reviews I took a chance. Never again. read more

In the area for vacation and needed to add extensions to my mags. I bought the extensions on Amazon and brought them into the store and they put them on for me at no charge! I will definitely be back when I have more time to shop. The store has a lot of items to look at and the staff was great. read more

Awesome service and inventory at the new store in Tallahassee, Florida. Thanks Chris!

We love to support small businesses. Right from when we walked through the doors, they were very helpful. I walked in with my daughter and they never made us fee l inadequate or intimidated as females walking into this type of establishment. The gentleman was welcoming and even threw in a few bumper stickers. Great customer service! read more

This is my "go to" gun shop. The staff is always friendly and attentive and go above and beyond to take care of my. They don't product push like many other local shops. They earned my business when I challenged them with a request of finding 4 hard to get guns. Other area gun stores had been working on the same request for 10 - 12 months. Big Daddy Guns has 3 of the 4 items in stock for me in less than a month! I've also done a custom build with them that was amazing. It's a build I had attempted with another shop...that shop just berated me and tried to talk me out of the build and switch sale me to something they had on the shelf. Big Daddy Guns listened to what I wanted and only offered suggestions to make the build better...no criticism! I highly recommend Big Daddy Guns for all your firearms needs. read more

So I won a gun off one their GunBroker auctions. Damn good price. I I didn't think to look at Yelp til it was time to drive to the 'Ville to go fetch it. I was pretty horrified by the one star rating. So I showed up and to my surprise there was a well organized store with friendly employees. Took about ten minutes to process my 4473, gave me time to look at the inventory. I called ahead and they had set my gun aside ahead of time, which I read was sometimes a problem. I walked out the door with my gun for 60 bucks under MSRP+tax. Even if you factor in the gas I spent to get there from Jacksonville, it was still a good deal. I'm not really sure why the other reviews were so bad. So I'm going to say that sometimes shit happens when you deal online. And to the second dude, I feel you on the comm, It was kind of hard for me to get a hold of them too. But seriously, who doesn't know that LH stands for Left hand/left handed?? Solid three, would have been a four if I could get a hold of them when I call. read more

well I called on or about January 30, 2018 I spoke with Patrick I SPECIFICALLY asked about 2 products exactly I told him I would send a money order as I had too many problems with credit card hacking I stated I would call back as I was getting money order and re verify the products were put aside for me When I called on February 1, 2018 at 4:05 P.M. I was told that "I am not sure the products were set aside" I was also told II would get a call "right" back At 4:40 P.M. (as I sat in the Post Office parking lot waiting) I called back I was told "still unsure if product is here" funny when I called on January 30 was told it was there and being set aside TRUST or HONOR is a terrible thing for a business to lose I finally got a call from a "Cortland" more excuses than truths read more

Friendly, fast and professional. Definitely worth a visit. They ordered a firearm for me they did not have in stock way faster, cheaper and easier than anyone else. read more

I ordered a holster on a weekend. The description said Bond Arms LH Thumbsnap. A few minutes later I did a search on the part and realized LH was Left Handed. I am right handed. I emailed them and called them right away (no pun) and I got no response. Voicemail that went to voicemail. They shipped the product right out to me (pun intentional) and have not retruned my calls or emails since. I guess I will sell it on eBay and put in BOLD print LEFT HANDED not a LH in the middle of a long descriptor. read more

Horrible place they don't know much about guns I think some of the guns were selling were used and passed off as new. Stay away from this place very bad I want to visit my cousin up there After he was dealing with these people he should have his head examined. read more

Never doing business with them again. Been shopping with them a long long time. When they were just the smaller store. Things have changed gone corporate. I've never been talked to today as I was today. I've let things slide like ammo in the wrong boxes. They've fired everybody who knew about guns and owed them. I think this new staff doesn't even own guns. If I wanted to be sold something I'll go to bass pro shop. Never going back I don't care how great there prices are and if they have hard to find items I'll pass. If I want to be treated bad I can just go to pickets or lawful defense. Used to be a great store. Sad just sad. read more

I visited the Ocala store when they opened looking to purchase a particular handgun. The sale would have been about $900.00. They had very few guns in stock. I was told that they would not order the handgun but that I could join their online club for $9.95 a month and buy the gun through there if it became available. I went to another shop in Ocala and had the handgun I wanted within a week. I did join Bigdaddy unlimited and found another handgun at what seemed like a good price. At purchase, they added a $35.00 shipping charge to ship the gun from Gainesville to Ocala, and then charged me $25.00 for the back ground check the day I picked it up. These charges added about $70.00 to the price of the gun, putting it above the cost of buying it elsewhere. I immediately cancelled the auto-renew for my membership. Rural King ships guns to their stores for free and only charges $5.00 for the back ground check. Big Daddy has lost a customer for good. read more

Every time I have made a purchase from Big Daddy Guns it has been nothing short of amazing. They present good competitive prices for their inventory and great quality products. read more

These guys are bone heads. Avoid at all costs. They don't have what they say they have in stock. They will take your money though, AFTER they send you notice for a refund.... I don't care how good the deals may have been that they offered, the hassle of trying to get to someone to straighten out their mess is impossible. read more

Purchased gunstock on online auction paid in full on the phone then 2 hrs later called me back that the item is not in stock at their warehouse. Money was refunded but how do you put something on auction that you don't have . Never again read more

I have been shopping for suppressors for several months now and came across Chris at big daddy guns. Chris took my need and made it happen, found me the can I wanted at a price that was $100 cheaper than anybody else. they're not out to scam you theyre out to take care of you and get you what you want. I highly recommend the shop very laid-back they're not pushy, I will return they are awesome. Also nick did an excellent job keeping in contact with me. I was impressed. I drive 42 miles to this shop. It's completely worth the trip. read more

Ordered a $700.00 Revolver A Smith and Wesson 686 + I bought it from them off of Gunbroker.com WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A BRAND NEW GUN, WAS THE OPPOSITE! My FFL is not only a gun smith but also a police chief in the local area. When I first saw it I said I know they test shot but look down the barrel there is rust and you can see it was certainly shot. But My FFL brought up the fact that if you look at where the bullets are loaded and shot out of, you can see a lot of carbon build up which is the real sign of usage. They of course denied it and their phone customer service is useless, if they even answer. Finally got their owner to answer an email after 4 emails and needless to say he was very unhelpful. Said I can return it knowing that I would be about a transfer fee which is $50.00 plus I'd have to ship it back pay for shipping and get docked a 15% restocking fee. So they know they have you and by your you know what.. Terrible people. read more
