I chose Chandler due to location (I'm in Vegas) and price. These guys are outstanding. They communicate clearly from the beginning to end and their quality of gunsmithing is simply the best. I had my Kimber 2k11 ported and the job they did with custom rectangular holes to fit the slide vents precisely beats all other internet options. I wouldn't trust my firearms to anyone else. read more

Chandler Tactical Firearms - Oh yeah! - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Almost the worst service I've ever had. Took a new glock in For ceracote. I was very specific about one part. After waiting a week past the expected due date I went in and it was not painted correct. Iwas unhappy buttheysaid they would correct it. They said 2 more weeks. After over 3 weeks I went to check on it. It was done and the guy said it was ready 8 days after I dropped it off. That really pissed me off They had my email and phone but there customer service is so shitty they never contacted me . The first time could have been an oversight but the second time is a problem. Their only remedy was to say sorry. Yes they are a sorry excuse of a shop. I jad just bought a suppressor from them and need another suppressor and a barrel. Ill be taking my business elsewhere. The ceracote was great but as a disabled vet and retired Leo I will never spend another dime at chandler tatical and ill be letting everyone I know about this horrible experience. I doubt it will matter to them but ill do my best I'd do 1 star but the paint was great read more

I had several trigger jobs done by Chandler Tactical Firearms. All the work was completed quickly and professionally.

These guys are shooters. They totally helped me out with what I needed. Prices were fair and work done on my gun was great. I was so surprised how well my firearms turned out there next level shop with the shooter in mind not just trying to sell you a gun read more

They have what you need and if they don't have it, they can get it quicker than anyone else I know In the valley. Also the pricing is good to great. Service is great too! Glad I'm in Chandler! Highly recommend. read more

I was looking to swap out a set of sights. I went on Yelp after 11pm. I got a response, and got in first thing at 12. Top rate customer service. 2nd time having them do the work, absolutely no complaints! Paper cups is the only thing I'll bring up, and the guys there know what I mean. Rate 10 of 10 read more

Awesome guys that cut straight to what you need when and for a great price!!! The owner was awesome and super friendly.

Fabulous visit yesterday. Getting my daughters Glock 17 blinged out for her birthday. Staff was friendly and oh so helpful from the minute I walked in. We jointly decided on a Holosun red dot optic, and while we had the slide off installing, a cerakote of the slide in a Robin's Egg Blue (Tiffany Blue). ;-) She's gonna love it. If she starts shooting better than me, taking my G17 in here to get an optical site. Don't think I'd go anywhere else even though its a bit of a drive for me from San Tan Valley read more

I have know these guys for about four years. They are one of the only places in the East Valley that I would trust with my guns and life. Very reasonable and straight forward. They are not looking just to make a sale, rather build a long standing relationship. read more

Needed a slide milled for a red dot. I went it, purchased the red dot from them and put in the work order. They had it ready and mounted within 24hrs. Couldn't be happier with the end product, and the overall experience. Highly recommend. read more

Super quick. Done while I waited. Helped me swap out a stuck part. Very friendly gunsmith.

Very friendly and accommodating. Visited for smithing services, was told a price that was incorrect, left my rifle for service and was notified it would be more expensive via phone. Accidents happen however they were willing to work with me on a fair price. I will be visiting again for more services. Would highly recommend! read more

Awesome service, and quick turn around. They ported an m&p for me. I couldn't be more happy with the job they did! Super friendly staff as well. Highly recommend to anyone. read more

Always a pleasure when I go in. The guys are always helpful and friendly. The place is always busy, that says a lot. Thanks Steve and Andrew, among others. I would recommend them to anyone looking for fair price with great service. read more

Extremely helpful knowledgeable staff. They did a fantastic job with my porting, cerakote, and engraving. Fast turnaround time too. Beyond stoked with the results read more

Super great local shop. Went in a few times and they have a pretty good selection ended up doing a transfer here and it was super easy. Will definitely keep coming back. read more

I recently purchased night sights for one of my handguns and was anxious to have them installed. My gun club gave me a two week lead time so I starting checking other gunsmith options around me. Lauren at CTF responded quickly and offered a competitive rate and could do the work while I waited! As promised, when I arrived at the shop Lauren replaced my sights while I waited. Also, since it was my first visit, I found the shop to be really nice as well. Great assortment of firearms and very knowledgeable staff. I highly recommend Chandler Tactical Firearms for any gunsmith needs. read more

My new gun shop. First time in store last week to purchase night sights for Glock. They had exactly what I was looking for and the clerk offered to change them out right there. Staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Store is clean and organized. Not the closest shop to me, but definitely worth the drive. read more

Well, I thought I found a good gun shop but I guess not. I went here for the first time a couple of days ago and bought a .22 bore snake. When I learned that they do Cerakoting on site, I asked them about recoating a revolver of mine, or just stripping it to return it to the original bare finish. The two guys there were friendly and extremely helpful. They asked if I had the gun with me, which I didn't. They told me to bring it by and they'd help me decide on what to do since I wasn't sure if I wanted it recoated or just brought back to its original bare finish (SS and aluminum). Two days later I brought it in, fully intending to leave it with them and having it recoated. The two guys working that morning were completely disinterested in whether they helped me or not (stereotypical gun shop employees) and honestly what little they did say, they didn't seem very knowledgeable. I was looking forward to having it recoated or stripped but didn't feel comfortable at all leaving it there with them so I left with my revolver. I guess their customer service is hit or miss depending on the day. I doubt that I'll ever go back; I was unimpressed and dissappointed to say the least. read more

These guys are great! They do amazing custom work and they are very friendly and professional. Thank you for the art that you did to my AR.

I've been in there a few times for different things. Once to get subsonic 5.7 ammo, which isn't easy to find, but they had it on the shelf. Once to replace the iron sights on a pistol, which is probably pretty light duty for a gunsmith, but they did it while I waited in about 15 minutes and it came out perfect. When I decided I didn't like then new sights and wanted them to put the old ones back on, same thing, about 15 minutes at most while I waited, came out perfect. They've risen to the occasion on every occasion from my perspective with a quicker much quicker turnaround and competitive prices than other places I tried before finding them. Planning on going back soon read more

These guys are super professional. For someone new to this type of interaction i was impressed by how comfortable I felt. Great communication, and every employee I interacted with was awesome. If the owner reads this, props to you. Give these dudes a raise! I look forward to my next visit. read more

This place is amazing. I go here not only for the best price on firearms but all the service I need on those firearms. These are actual gunsmiths that work here. They can do a lot of things other gun shops in the area can't. They're also one of the only places offering cerakote coating for your gun. Honestly though the main reason I come here is the customer service. I've been to almost every gun store Arizona has to offer and let's be real some of these guys give you a feeling that you're the biggest inconvenience that's happened to them that day. I never get that feeling at Chandler Tactical. They are always nice, patient, and informative. If you're a first time gun buyer or a seasoned vet I would recommend this place all day. read more

Needed to have broken screw removed from my 9mm pistol. They removed and installed my optic and bore sighted it. They did a great job and done quickly. They also help remove flash suppressor off AR-15 upper. Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable, will definitely go back. Great Service. read more

I received great service from CTF. I was a walk-in for the gun smith and they were able to complete all the necessary repairs while I waited. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful when recommending a trigger upgrade for my Banshee and gave an explanation as to why they recommended it. I'll definitely be a return customer. read more

My experience with this company was positive. I had a used pump shotgun that I needed cleaned and inspected to ensure it was ready to fire. I'm using it for home defense. C2 Tactical had a waiting list that was months long (Don't get me wrong, C2 is a great place but I needed service now) so I gave Chandler Tactical Firearms a shot. They knocked out the job in 2 days and had better prices for gunsmithing. read more

I stopped by prior to connecting on Yelp through the request a quote. Lauren was responsive and I even called before stopping by to check availability. He was flexible and let me know if things would go quick or if I would need to pickup end of day. I had sights installed and browsed the store while I waited. Was pretty quick and got to check out some flashlights which I might come back to grab at some point. read more

Very knowledgeable people work here. I had an issue with a 38 special of mine. They charged me a pretty penny but I got educated and we cannot put a price on gun safety. Fixed my issues in 10 minutes then showed me how to fix it in the future. read more

Probably my single favourite gun store I've been too. I'm not particularly well to-do and so I went in planning to drop a good chunk of change on a decent SKS. I saw that they had my favourite gun, the MAS 49/56, for sale and they told me it was $1k, I was like "it's just out of my budget". These absolute chads took $150 off just for me and won themselves a life long customer. I've since been in for various services as well as window shopping. These guys are so friendly and helpful, I can't recommend them enough! read more

I made a mistake while reassembling my Taurus. I contacted Chandler Tactical via the website, and Lauren told me to bring it in on a Sunday. What was wrong ended up being a bit more complex than expected, but he had it fixed while I waited! I will highly recommend them to friends and family! read more

Ok so I wanted a custom holster for my 1911 double stack. I placed my order on a Tuesday. I was told it would be ready on Saturday. Well I went in on Saturday, I was told it would be ready later that day . I told them I would be back on Tuesday. Because I live in casa grande. I didn't want to hang in chandler all day. Well I had a problem pop up, that prevented my returning till Wednesday. I went in they said it wasn't ready. I asked when it would be ready. They said they normally make them on Saturday. They also said they were down one worker, and were backed up. They said they had 60 orders to make. I asked if they had even started my order. They said no. I said OK, let's just cancel my order. They said OK. I left unhappy. read more

Place is ok but stay away from their gunsmith, they are "economical" for a reason - you'll get what you pay for. I had to send my rifle into the manufacturer to fix two issues caused by CTF's smith on my dime. The armorer at Daniel Defense was shocked someone was still paid to do something they had to correct. read more

Chandler Tactical Firearms is a great example of a bad gun shop. We all know that gun shops carry the stigma of being unfriendly. The owner of this shop and his employees contribute to that stigma, by creating a hostile environment for customers. It is an immature thing to do, and overall a disservice to the local community. If the fellas at Chandler Tactical Firearms simply relaxed a little, and maybe drank less energy drinks throughout the day, this store's atmosphere might improve. This shop does not understand (at all) that people like to browse and make smalltalk at gun shops. If you create a pleasant atmosphere for visitors, they will return and buy from you. If you do not pressure customers, they will return and buy from you. The staff is extremely pushy and desperate for a sale. I really cannot comprehend why these guys go out of their way to lose customers. They are argumentative! If you casually relate your experience with a certain product or company, they will defend that product or company and explain that your experience is invalid. They may also interrupt you and raise their voice, too. Over nothing! Listen guys, your customers are just trying to enjoy a day off from work and chat about their favorite hobby. Rinse the sand out of your beards and try being friendly. You'd be amazed how your business could flourish. I visited your shop three times over the past year, and bought some ammo and cleaning supplies. I will never return to your shop after my last visit. By the way, I spent my Christmas bonus on a new Smith & Wesson from Merchant Firearms. The staff there is consistently laid back, relaxed, and treat visitors with respect. Cheers! read more

The Best gun store in town hands down, not only does Lauren know what he is doing but is extremely honest. Great prices and better service. I've had to take my firearms to Lauren after other stores made mistakes. Don't be like me go to Chandler Tactical the first time haha Happy Huntin! read more

By far above and beyond any gunstore/gunsmith I have ever dealt with. The most friendly service with everything you could ever want at your fingertips. Custom built guns to custom modifications to stock firearms. Great selection and excellent prices. I cannot recommend these guys enough. They are truly a 1 stop gun shop! Thank you Lauren and team for all you do. You have made my transition to Arizona priceless. read more

All the best products and service... just a top notch shop to work with and highly recommend.

Honestly one of the best shops I've been to in AZ. I've seen some negative comments on yelp but this could not be further from the truth. The whole staff is super friendly and helpful with anything. The owner is one of the nicest guys ever and has been nothing short of fantastic when it comes to the custom work. I love coming here, even just to shoot the sh!t with the staff. Appreciate all you guys do, you make the community a better place. read more

Being a 1st time gun owner and a chick, they made me feel extremely comfortable and were more than helpful! Not only did they anwser all my questions and give helpful input, they also attached all of my purchase accessories for me. Definitely will be coming back!! read more
