It's a bit of a drive from where I live but it was well worth it...and they have paintball too!

In…read moreaddition, they have online shopping to coordinate with pickup at my local store in the event what you want isn't in stock or carried locally. I had an issue that started with an online order so I called the toll-free number and spoke with a rep who was surprisingly delightful and caring! After her research into the matter, she transferred the call to a supervisor who was better equipped to provide assistance with my issue. The supervisor was equally delightful (!) and after deciding it was best dealt with at my local store level, she called a manager at Silverdale. He suggested that I come into the store and talk with any manager on duty, and so I did the next day. Although at first Manager, Summer, seemed skeptical, she took the time to thoroughly research in the problem (looking at my account, calling the manager who had been on duty, checking stock...), and then provided several flexible and positive solutions. The reason I think she was great is because after she inherited my problem, she completely "owned" the issue intent on finding appropriate, workable solutions. She was a joy to work with and I felt she was not only professional, but clearly she enjoys her job, feels respected and appreciated, and highly values the customer. (Note: When her earpiece had fallen out and she thought employees were ignoring her call to help a waiting customer, she laughed at herself recognizing it was her mistake- never once trying to shift the blame. Sure this isn't a big deal, but it represented a characteristic one would want in a supervisor!) I was an occasional Dick's customer previously because of convenience and price, but I am definitely now a LOYAL Dick's customer because of excellent customer service, and while surely Summer epitomizes excellent customer service, I had great, caring service from every employee involved!

If Bass Pro Shops represents the worst possible gun store experience, MKR Tactical is the best. At…read moreBass Pro, you are literally just a number, there purely to be exploited in every imaginable way. I've had better customer service (and less waiting) at any given DMV. At MKR, however, it's like talking to a friend--or at least to people that treat you (even when you're ignorant and don't know everything about guns) with respect. If they carried the firearm I wanted, I would've bought it from them, not the bassholes at Bass Pro. But I wanted a budget firearm, and MKR carries only the best. When I went in yesterday, I needed help figuring out how to use a magazine loader. I literally just walked through their door with a box of my stuff, asking for help. Matthew not only demonstrated how to use the device using dummy rounds, he gave me invaluable advice about safety, gun cleaning tips, classes. Since I was not making a purchase that day, I wanted to tip him. Peoples' time, care and good advice are valuable and deserve recognition, particularly when folks go above and beyond. My tip was politely declined. Unlike Bass, where customers are nothing more than walking money bags, MKR treats people...well, like people. I believe that ignorance is not a crime, especially when you admit to it and actively seek to increase your knowledge base. That can't always be done on your own. Youtube videos and books, while helpful, cannot give you all that you need to know about guns. Yet, in some gun stores, the so-called gun experts can be extremely condescending towards anyone who doesn't know as much as they do. ...Or anyone they THINK doesn't know as much as they do. That's why I so appreciate the attitude of Matthew and everyone else at MKR Tactical. They aren't there to lord their knowledge over you, but to share it with you. It's the first place I felt safe enough to ask questions because I realized pretty quickly that they wouldn't humiliate me or treat me like an annoyance. That means EVERYTHING. Honestly, it's not that hard to treat people with basic respect, but it is hard to find places that do. Increasingly, I'm finding that you really need to go to a smaller mom n' pop, locally and independently owned business like MKR Tactical, if you want to be treated like a human being, and avoid corporate monstrosities like Big Five, Cabellas, Dick's or Bass Pro--all of whom seem to have their tentacles wrapped around every urban area. The great news is that there are still good alternatives. I'm grateful for MKR Tactical and I hope they thrive for many more years to come.

It was 13 minutes until closing, but we knew what we needed. As soon as we walked in, a woman at the front counter who was helping a customer held up her arm to eye level and made a lengthy, obvious production about staring at her watch. I apologized to her about coming in 13 minutes before closing. No reply. I waited for my husband to finish his purchase; however, no more than a minute after we entered my husband told us we were leaving. When I asked why, he said he overheard the female employee at the front complaining about us to her customer. They were talking about customers coming in just before closing loud enough to be heard by others. We used to love Northman's and wanted to support our local business. No more.

Never any apologies or offers to follow up and find out where my order actually was. When I finally had enough and cancelled my order, the owner refused to refund me until the order eventually arrives, so he could charge me a 30% restocking fee. He was incredibly rude as well, as if it was unreasonable of me to expect to get something for my $750. Thankfully my bank was able to put a back charge and force a reversal. Avoid this business. You can get better inventory and vastly better service pretty much anywhere.

I recently had a very disappointing experience with this FFL. They failed to notify me when my firearm arrived at their business. I waited a week and had to call them myself to confirm its arrival. When I went in to complete the paperwork, it only took a minute or so to check it in, which made the lack of communication even more frustrating. I filled out the necessary forms and was told to return on June 25 to pick up my firearm. However, when I came back two weeks later, ready to pick up my rifle, 600 rounds of ammo, a steel gong, and potentially start paperwork on a suppressor, they informed me they had messed up the paperwork for the firearm. I had to re-do everything and now have to wait until July 11 to pick it up. By the time I get my firearm it will have been in their possession for over a month and a half. To "compensate" for my wasted time and the inconvenience of a 2-hour round trip, they offered me an $11 box of ammo, which felt like an insult. This experience has ensured that I will not be taking my future business to this FFL. I recommend others take their business elsewhere. This FFL has one primary responsibility when it comes to firearm transfers, and they seem incapable of handling it properly. read more
