I have had many transactions with civil armory Derrick and Marty are very knowledgeable helpful and fair I have bought and sold with them as well as used their gun smithing services.cant reccomend them higher read more

Not a very friendly bunch to say the least . If I was Santa I'd bring them Personalities for Christmas ! I brought my Colt Series 80 there to be fixed by the gunsmith . I took it apart to clean it and it didn't work when I got it back together . It was there around 6 weeks or better with no updates . Long story short it didn't work when I got it back but they didn't test it before I picked it up . I took it back apart with youtube videos & diagrams from Brownell's and did the pencil test which I thought was great . I guess there gunsmith never heard of the pencil test ? My .45 SERIES 80 MK IV GOLD CUP NATIONAL MATCH works great now , no thanks to Civil Armory & there gunsmith . Bob Kaps Fishkill NY read more

Owner operated You get the best service Great selection They know all the rules, laws and regulation about gun ownership Friendly No pressure sales and patient with their customers read more

Best gun shop in the Hudson Valley.Competitive prices and a staff,second to none.The staff is a great bunch of guys always willing to answer questions and help.I have been a customer for over 10 years. read more

Great guys, good shop talk. Fair prices, fair transfer fees. The guys are flexible on pricing, typically can't match on-line prices but will get close enough to make it worth keeping local. The store itself has good parking, is close to the Dutchess County Sheriff's office and again, the guys are good. As for the guys, most are ex-military, the rest just guys who like and shoot a lot of guns. For new gun owners they're pretty open to giving good tips and helpful advice. For experienced gun owners, they know enough about what you need to get you there. If you need personal protection, these are the guys to go to in the area. read more

Civil armory is one of the best, if not the best, gun shops in town. The staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable and will guide you through the entire processes without making you feel pressured to buy certain weapons. They also had a ton of accessories and even cases you can shop from and look through. The prices are always fair and if they don't have it they're sure to try to get it for you. Highly recommend heading here for all your 2A needs. read more

The guys at civil armory are true professionals. They take the time and show attention to their customers and make them feel comfortable and at ease while shopping for firearms and asking questions about potential purchases and firearms in general. Their knowledge and selection of accessories and firearms are truly second to noneThey take the time and concern for the customer and if anyone has any questions about firearms they are not intimidating at all like other gun shops out there. You will leave their shop with confidence knowing that they are always there for you if you need them and can ask them anything. Your knowledge and your friendliness is very refreshing to see and I will always recommend them to everyone that I know who is looking for firearms and ammunition and anything related to shooting sports. read more

I have bought many guns from here and have nothing but positive things to say. Great prices, excellent service. They don't pressure you in any way. If you want something they don't have they will order it for you. If you drive by any day of the week their store is full of like minded individuals, which speaks very highly of them. I'm ordering my next gun from them. Good prices on ammo which is well stocked with many different manufactures. I sent a couple of my friends there who bought guns as well. Ask for Derek and tell him Andy V sent you. read more

I've made several purchases at Civil due to horrible experiences ive had at Collector. Staff at Civil are much better at explaining things to you, as well as making purchase suggestions. Although they do not have as much inventory as Collector they at are much more organized, and could always get you what you need. I for one will never return to collector and will suggest anyone looking for any firearm related purchases to check out Civil instead. read more

went to Civil arms to get my ATI Titian repaired, had problems with the guide spring assembly. The guys there took a look at my firearm and took the time to figure how to remove and replace the spring and showed me the easiest way possible to remove and replace the spring I was very grateful for the amount of time that they took with me I would definitely go back to the shop great bunch of guys read more

I have been having a hard time finding a gun shop that had remained open during COVID and had a good selection/stock of both firearms and ammo. A year ago, I had a called a number of local shops to help me do an out of state transfer (via FFL) and never even got a call back. This time, I was looking for a .22 Magnum for coyote hunting which is also sometimes a hard caliber to find. I found Civil Armory on Yelp, called them, they had Ruger Precision .22 WMR and ammo in stock so I visited today. They were very knowledge and friendly to both my Wife and I. I walked out with that Ruger scoped, bore sighted and 2 boxes of ammo in an hour or so. I am a hunter, not an avid shooter, and the guys understood my level and made us feel welcome. It's a small shop but full of pistol and rifle selection, stock, ammo, and accessories. They are also willing to do transfers using their FFL for a reasonable fee. I highly recommend them. read more

place is awesome , guys in the shop are awesome. friendly, patient and most importantly knowledgable !! love shopping here for all my 2nd amendment needs read more

Staff right on point on my needs entire purchase of my rifle was smooth and not confusing at all . It was a pleasant change from other local suppliers I have done limited business with, they are like mom and pop type business with a major cutting edge to get to the point of purchase . Well done thank you DB Carmel ny read more

Derek is awesome. Got my first rifle here, came back to get a scope and encouraged me to learn how to shoot it with the iron sights before jumping in with all the cool "Tech." Showed him a photo of one of the targets I shot at 50 yards, and he said I needed practice. Put me in contact with a guy named Peter whom will help me become more skilled with the rifle as is. Gonna love this place! read more

I checked out several other big box stores and was really looking for a better and more personal experience. Glad I stopped by Civil Armory yesterday-super inviting and comfortable place to purchase a firearm as well as fair prices. Service was excellent and appreciated the time they spent with me in picking the right shotgun. They've got a customer for life. read more

Love this place. Derek is great. Just got my pistol permit and he spent and hour with me showing me all kinds of options and helping me with any questions i had. The prices are good and i love the house rules buy a gun free box of ammo. Great place. Check them out first. read more

Quite simply, this is the place to go for your firearm needs. The staff are knowledgeable and supportive. They offer advice and opinion based on your individual buying experience. My purchases with this establishment have been outstanding. Their customer service is top notch I recommend Civil Armory to anyone that is looking to purchase their first firearm. read more

The crew at Civil Armory is super friendly and knowledgeable, they will help you and answer any and all questions you have!!! Everyone there knows what they are talking about, first class service from a gun store!! They are not just selling you what you need but giving you free knowledge with your purchase. I was a new comer to firearms and left with way more knowledge then expected, they even explained some laws and regulations I had no idea about. My first trip to Civil Armory, I didn't even make a purchase. Not their fault, I just moved upstate from the city but left knowing what I had to fix and four weeks later returned to make my purchase. They never pushed me into buying anything and even talked me out of buying something I saw on YouTube. They could have let me paid for the item I saw but instead they helped me find right firearm I needed. Surprised me because I actually spent way less then I was but that's how great they are. Got my Ruger PC9 from Civil Armory 3 years ago, Dereck will not let you leave until you know everything there is to know about your purchase. They will take the time to teach you whatever you need to know, even how to break it down to clean it. Have been doing business with them ever since. I have to mention there are three gun stores way closer to where I live, one even four minutes from me (initials are C.R. and A.) but don't mind the twenty five minute drive to Civil Armor because of their Top notch service!!! read more

Great store. The guys who work here are terrific, which is great considering they don't have much local competition. The closest store to my house gets mixed(mostly bad) reviews online and it's no wonder why once I stopped in. So i got on the road again a few minutes north and found a bunch of friendly down to earth guys who run civil armory. No complaints here. I dealt with Derek and he was very knowledgeable. This is my first rifle and they made the process easy as they could. read more

New to guns and checked out top shops in dutchess county on the internet. On my way up from work decided to drive a little further up and check it out. True to the reviews very helpful guys very easy going great all around guys. Asked a few questions in relation to what I was interested in wasn't pressured into buying anything. Ended up picking out something I liked and derrick was very helpful showed me everything with the gun and good advice also threw in some ammo great shop. Definitely will be my place to do business. read more

Visited Civil Armory for the first time today. Walked in to have a trigger spring changed, it was done in 10min and was only charged $10. Very helpful staff. I will be a regular customer. read more

You know it doesn't surprise me in the least that Civil Armory has 5 star reviews! Their gunsmith did a fantastic job on my dad's AR and their customer service a++ read more

Great shop great people and amazing company. Worked with Civil Armory on a number of deals and on a few out of state purchases. They handled everything flawlessly and have always provided me great advice as well. I highly recommend going there for anything firearms related and will certainly keep my communication an relationship ongoing read more

First time I've ever visited the place but have always heard great things.....After meeting Derek this is the only place I can buy my guns. The guy is awesome. He helped me out, took his time. I loved the experience. Learned alot....I recommend this place to everyone! Chad C. read more

I have been in the Civil Armory a few times, they are not sales people they are firearm enthusiasts. They are knowledgeable and patient, if you have any questions about what is the correct firearm for your needs, I encourage you to stop in and meet them. read more

Great group of guys. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Not only will I continue coming here for future purchase but also would recommend to anyone. read more

Purchased over $9,000 worth of firearms and gear in one day. However, items were missing from the Firearms we purchased. They were sold as "new never fired condition" ... but they were clearly missing several key accessories and items that come with these firearms. They said they had to look for them .... but they had them "buried somewhere" in the store and could not find them at that moment. This was just prior to the news about a Ban in NY .... so the store was very busy. I understood they could not look them at that time ... so I paid for my purchases in full and left. I should have known better. They had an attitude when I made the purchase ... but since they were busy, I wrote it off to that. After 3 weeks of stalling ... and then no response. I finally got an answer. They did not have the missing parts for these firearms. I suggested that Civil Armory provide me with 2 extra Magazines or some other high margin accessories. With that, I would call it even and go purchase what was missing from the manufacturers. They refused. I ended up having to purchase the items ... which cost me $360 direct from the manufacturers. Some of the manufacturers where sympathetic when I told them my story and sold me ... or gave me ... a few parts they normally do not sell. To make matters worse, I was quite nice about it ... and my request was not unreasonable or presented in anything but a nice way. However, Civil Armory gave me serious attitude ... and then claimed they never said they had all the parts. This is not true since my associate who was standing right next to me when I made the purchase ... confirmed that they did indeed make this promise. I rarely if ever post a bad review. I am too busy and do not have the time. I normally just choose to let my friends and associates and all potential customers know about my experience. However in this case, I am very upset by the way this was handled by Civil Armory. I am a professional business owner ... and I can tell you that these guys like to think ... and claim .... they are a lot smarter about business than they really are. After 38+ years running my own business ... I can say with great confidence that these boys have a lot to learn about how to build a good business and a reputation. Needless to say, I am not happy with my experience doing business with Civil Armory. The lack of integrity and attitude has turned me off to doing any business with Civil Armory ... ever again. read more

Get treated great and the prices are competitive, buy local. Derek is a pleasure to deal with and helps with any questions or concerns you may have. Definitely give him a try you won't regret it! read more

They are extremely knowledgeable and willing to educate customers, even if it will not result in a sale. I would highly recommend these guys to anyone looking to avoid gander mountain's long wait times. I was in and out with exactly what I asked for. If they do not have it in stock, they will get it. read more

Guys running the place are helpful and it's a fun relaxed atmosphere. I prefer this gun shop to any other in the area.

I am not new to guns but had never had a hand gun I went to Gander Mountin thinking they would have a larger selection then anyone else the selection was good and it helped me pick a gun I liked. But since I like to try and go local as much as I can I called to see if civil armory had the gun I was looking for they said they had one in stock but I was the second call about that proticular gun that day it was a new style that had just come out and was very popular so I went over and they had just sold it but did let me look at it and some others that gander Mountin didn't carry. I decided on the gun I called about and they said they could have another one on their next delivery. The price was about $20 more then gander Mountin but as I said would rather buy from local shop than big retail company. Gun came in as promised and they tru in a box of ammo worth $20. All the guys there are very helpfull and informative and the ammo pricing is the best around from what I've seen in the year since I got my gun. I won't be shopping any where else for my gun and ammo needs read more
