Great people. They can order almost anything. Also FFL transfers are a snap. I will continue being a happy customer. read more

Very friendly and great price. I definitely will buy more from them. Real salt of the earth people.

I came here after reading the other reviews. Old school, no nonsense. Reasonable transfer fee and I will return here again!

Smooth process in and out. Reeks of tobacco smoke, but hey, it's a classic place with classy guys running it. Dr Alenka Brown

I find some of these other comments quite humorous. Car towed after 30 minutes... when have we ever seen, off of 28 mind you, anything get acknowledged and responded to within 30 minutes in traffic? We don't and obviously the less than genuine individual who wrote such a gripe has never shopped here. The Covid comment related to inventory... heaven forbid anyone have supply issues that cause an increase in price or dwindling in stocked items. Bottom line, I've been a customer here for over a decade. Dominion Arms is an old school firearm and military surplus shop. If they don't have it on the shelves they may have it in the back or in storage. And if they don't have it, they don't have it. Accept it like an adult and move on. The shop owner has always been knowledgeable and helpful. These flybys who have come once and are used to being coddled to are apparently confused by how to ask for assistance like an adult. If you want assistance, ask for it. Some people just want to be left alone and browse. Great shop and owner, they have been a staple here in Manassas for years. read more

Was in parking spot in front of store for about 30 minutes when they had my car towed. Do not shop here. No signs except for inconspicuous corner sign - no parking. read more

Ordered a handgun online (first time dealing with FFL transfers) and had it shipped to Dominion. The experience was very painless, and I love that I didn't have to fill out a bunch of forms just to have them receive a UPS delivery. What a great little shop this is!!! It's a little cluttered, but only because there's so much neat stuff to browse. Took a little while for my approval to come through so I wound up talking to the owner for almost an hour. Nice guy and very knowledgeable about his guns. I will definitely be going back once I'm ready to add to my collection. read more

I didn't know places like this still existed! Located in a small strip mall off 28 in Manassas, this Army surplus/cop shop/gun store/old stuff has a little of everything. Most of the store is crowded with seemingly random merchandise, which in some cases appears to have been undisturbed for decades. The gun case however is decent sized and clearly the store's main source of revenue. The prices are reasonable, but the selection is hit or miss. The owner however will order anything you want, so if you are patient, a good deal may await you here. Of note, Dominion Arms is a Glock Blue Label dealer. read more

Stop into this store when you get the chance!! The owner is great, and will teach you all there is to know about firearms!! My mom and I went in there not too long ago to get her first gun and the store owner helped narrow down the options for the best fit. Today me and a buddy of mine went for some 55.6 rounds and ended up talking with the owner for a while. Really nice fella with good stories to tell! Highly recommend!! Great prices and great people! read more

Precious Has A Gun! I had been thinking about getting a gun for Precious for a while. We had passed by this place a thousand times literally, and sometimes we said, "Hey, we should go in there some day." Today was some day. We didn't think we'd really fit in with the type of crowd that hangs around a gun shop in Manassas, Virginia. We didn't know what to expect. Far right wing tea party members. Anti-immigrant fanatics. But the dude there was very good. The only thing we knew about guns was what we'd seen in the movies. We told him that we wanted a gun for home protection, and he showed us about ten different types of guns and explained in detail their unique features. He let us handle them. The guy was excellent. We couldn't have asked for a better sales person. Normally what we do with a purchase over $100 is take our time, research on the internet, talk to people, visit a couple of different places before we make a purchase, but the education that guy gave us earned the sale even if we could have gotten a gun on the cheap somewhere else. It's a very small place. They don't have a huge selection. They also carry rifles, pepper spray and other self-defense items, hunting gear like boots and some type of blanket that makes you look like a lump of grass. read more

Drove up there from Newport News to meet a fella for an FFL buy (I was buying). Got there around 2:30 for the 3:15 meet. The owner had an important appointment and really needed to go and doing my background check can take a looong time if it's delayed. He just didn't have enough time. I told him that I'd text the seller and call it off. No big deal (it really wasn't...I enjoyed the drive anyway). He said, "You drove all this way..." and proceeded to call different stores and even price-checked the bg check! I chatted with the fellas in there while he called MULTIPLE places (including the VSP) and found a shop down the road that could do for a reasonable and fair price! This man bent over backwards to help me...a long-haired stranger...even though he REALLY needed to close his shop. When you go in, don't be a punk...these guys have no time for ill manners. You're in THEIR house. Oh...I noticed he has a nice Arisaka rifle and mentioned it. I was just surprised to see it and in the middle of all this he jumped up and handed it to me to look at! Great store, great people. I'm gonna make it a point to stop by when I'm in the area again and purchase some stuff. He has a pretty cool selection! Highly recommend! read more

Absolutely amazing and helpful staff! They have a great selection of antique firearms. I will definitely come to this store again.

Had a handgun that's was broke took it to another shop they said it would be $200-$300 to fix it I couldn't see spending that on a cheap 22 revolver so I stopped into dominion and he said he would take a look at it couple days later it was fixed for a great price also had a good verity of guns and ammunition and gun care products great shop to do business with stop by if your in the area read more

I came in looking for a Kahr CW9, and saw that their prices on that model were $200 higher than another retailer. I asked the owner if there was a difference in models that would account for the higher price. He gave me a nasty look and told me to "go buy it there then." Obviously, this is a place that does not have respect for customers. read more

1st time ever in this store and it will be the last. The guy behind the counter seemed ok and talked with my son about ammo and answered anything he asked. The we left the store. The two guys that worked there followed us out the store to watch the accident that was on RT 28. My son, daughter in law and I wanted to get some food to take home so we walk over to Eugene's Sausage and Fries, which is next to th plaza the gun shop is. The man from the gun shop never said anything to us even when we walked pass him outside. About an hour later we come back to our car to find out it was towed. The guy at the tow company said the man from the gun shop was the one who called it in. What an ass!!!!! So if you go to this smoke smelling store park at your on risk. GRRRR read more

I see a lot of people complaining about these guys saying they have poor customer service and to go to va arms or Trojan arm(used to be guns and ammo) I'd rather go to Dominion the other two are over priced and don't care about you at all. At least at Dominion if your not a fairy ‍ and know how to speak these guys are very helpful. Yea they smoke here but if you smoke it's a plus cuz you can smoke in the store. read more

These guys are the worst. They burned me so bad when i was a teenager . They told me my ww1 all matching spandau g98 was worth 200. They told me it was a Turkish Mauser and it wasnt worth that much. So I traded for a delton ar 15 that was only worth like $500 at the most.They took advantage of my naiveness. I should of just bent over for them while I was at it. I don't recommend this place. read more

I have been going to these guys for years and they are my preferred FFL. They are not hard pithc guys, they are not intrusive, and they are very accomodating. All you have to do is walk up and say "Hi, can you help me?" They are gun enthusiasts, they know the craft, and they will not jerk you around. What people see as not attentive is they are laid back, they figure "if he/she wants us to help they will let us know, it's not that big a store and we know you are there." Any one of them knows more than me about weaponry and combined they have more skill and knowledge in that arena than most people I know (including the SWAT and Bomb Techs). So I would not be put off by the dust and smoke - just say hello and ask for some help. read more

Picked up a slightly used S&W 686 from here yesterday and it couldn't have been a better experience. Incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and make you feel very comfortable buying a gun. The store carries new and used guns of a worldwide variety. The stock constantly seems to change, so don't go off any reviews about what they do or do not carry. I suggest if you're "shopping" around, stop by this great gun shop for a great deal. A great location, easy buying, and relaxed atmosphere. Prices were well below average, which will have me going back even more. Veteran owned and operated. read more

I stopped by here the other day and it will probably be my last time. The selection was slim and over priced. The case was comprised mainly of Jennings, Taurus and HR revolvers, basically Saturday Night Specials. They do have a lot of rifles on the wall but I didn't really get a look at them. the accessories are cobbled together on shelves and the selection is more like the random junk boxes you see at gun shows. The worst part? The smoking. Be prepared to leave with half a lung. In closing, avoid Dominion Arms and spend your money at the VA Arms or Guns and Ammo. read more

This place is horrible. Customer service sucks. Walked in and the older man at the counter doesn't even ask me if I need any help. Another thing, this store barely has any guns. It's all mostly antiques. The selection is very small. It sucks that this is the only store near me. Everything looks very out dated. It's good if you are looking for revolvers I guess and old WW II rifles. Instead stop by the VA arms in Manassas. Way better. read more

If you go to this place, have thick skin and be patient. No wimpy or scared look please, Ed and Marty are good guys and will help you out. The cigarette smoking (and stink) really has to go, it's a nasty habit and chases customers away. Small selection of handguns and long arms but enough to satisfy your curiosity. Law enforcement and military friendly. read more

I came to this shop and couldn't stay longer than 30 seconds. The owner smokes inside and it drove me crazy the immediate second I smelled it. I have fairly sensitive lungs and it pains me to not be able to go here because I'm a huge fan of guns and wish I could see their inventory and leave a review about that. In my opinion I don't think you should be smoking but that's just me read more

Very cluttered if you look behind the counters. It makes me wonder what they do with the forms after buyers fill them out. I hope they have a little more care/organization skills for important stuff like federal forms. They have lots of surplus guns as well as hats, shirts, and other gear. Its a cramped environment because its small and they're trying to fit a lot of stuff in there. I hope you don't mind smelling like cigarette smoke when you leave. The people working there smoke in the store when customers are around. What decade are we in again? read more

I went to this gun shop to talk to someone about doing a gun transfer for a gun that I bought off gunbroker. When I went in there were no customers in there, just one guy behind the counter looking at a laptop. After standing at the counter for over 5 min. in front of him I said " hi how you doing?" He didn't reply back, just gave me a dirty look and kept looking at his laptop. I then stood there for another 5 min. right in front of him hoping to get service but just got ignored. WTF??? read more

I stopped in during a lunch break one day, and I perused their selection of handguns. Their selection of firearms was fairly limited, and they had significantly higher prices than many other local retailers. The other part of the store is your standard military memorabilia kind of garb. The shop-owner was reasonably friendly to me; I observed that he was very chatty with another customer and the two used quite a lot of profanity and racial slurs. This "good ol' boy" vibe made me uncomfortable and I left immediately due to incredibly unprofessional behavior. There are a number of much more highly respected, professional, and well-stocked firearms stores in the NOVA area. I would shop here last. Oh, and the cigarette smoke is ridiculous. EXPECT TO COME OUT SMELLING LIKE AN ASHTRAY. read more

I have been going to these guys for years. This is not a corporate store by any stretch. Its a view back in time to the days of family owned establishments. One reviewer stated they had nothing but "Saturday Night Specials". This is a completely false statement. They have everything. For every type of buyer. There is a huge selection of hard to find/unusual military surplus. There are also common surplus items on hand. They carry the basics plus some for bowhunters, blackpowder hunters, and ammunition reloaders. The reviewer also stated that one should venture out to the other gunshops around here. I will be honest, I have been to them all. Unless you are LEO or planning on dropping a couple grand, the other two gunshops on the same highway have virtually no use for you. Often times, ignoring you blatantly or following you accusingly. These guys are nowhere like that. Another thing those other shops do is send their guys to walmart and dicks to buy up all their ammo. They then take this ammo and put it on their shelf for triple what they paid. These guys have distributors that they have been using for years and buy their ammo in bulk through them. Which also keeps their ammo costs down for the consumer. The author was right about one thing, they do allow tobacco use in the store. However, they do have air purifiers and a fan installed for better ventilation. If you are hyper sensitive to tobacco, you might not want to go in there. Then again, if you are that sensitive, a day in an enclosed range would probably leave you bed ridden for days. If you are looking to sell a firearm, they also give the best prices in town for offloading your stuff. A whimsical blast from an era gone by. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get away from gun yuppies and elitists. read more

First time buying a firearm but i have 4 years experience with the weapon, I purchased. I believe that all who seek on buying a weapon should go to a gun range and practice/ feel out each weapon prior to going into a gun store and making a purchase.... I was at the shop with the couple above ( Precious Has A Gun!) , and I did not feel comfortable at all hearing them be first time gun buyer and has never fire a round.. But this is a good place they have lots of knowledge and GREAT customer service read more

I walked into the store and wasn't greeted by anyone. All the store clerks were just sitting around talking. I was ready and willing to spend big $$$$$. I took my business down the road to somewhere that cares about their customers. If you want to be ignored this is the prefect shop for you. read more

Ed is awesome took a pistol in that needed help with the ramp feeds he polished them and cleaned it from top to bottom and only charged me 20 dollars I thoroughly enjoy the place and the great people that work there! read more

The first time I went here the owner was alone and very helpful. The second time he was with two other people and I asked him about a magazine for my rifle, he basically told me that I had a stupid combination on my rifle (ak 74 .223) and he doesn't carry it. I don't like feeling like I was called stupid, it's my money, If I want to buy it just sell it to me and keep your opinions to yourself. read more

Having grown up around guns back home in Arizona (and not just seeing them on tv or in the movies), I've come to respect the culture surrounding the necessity and responsible use of firearms. Dominion Arms is all about exactly that authentic, life-long studied professional group of experts delivering useful tools to its customers. This is not a "Mega-Wholesale(!)" gun retailer, looking to reap massive, one-time profits and forget you existed. Expect to spend some time learning about what the right weapon is that will meet your expectations, and how to best employ it across several dimensions. Dominion Arms is one-of-a-kind. read more

I went to this shop as a last ditch effort looking for mags for a Remington 702 plinkster...damn if they didn't have them and for $10 at that and they function flawlessly. This is not a Blue Ridge or G&A ....it's a small shop where the guys have REAL knowledge of firearms and are willing to explain options to first time buyers...I actually witnessed this and, with a friendly nod from the owner, I agreed to wait to purchase my goods until they were adequately informed. Nice to see customer service like that around here. Smoke? Yeah so what, deal with it or just leave!! As for pricing..I am a huge supporter of mom and pop, all ameriican, non corporate businesses and will pay the extra few bucks for these shops/businesses to survive in this enviornment. read more

This place is really old school with very disorganized shelves. Wanted to look at a gun but there were some ahead of me. Waited a bit but the musty cigarette smoke was agrevating my asthma. Decided to drive to Leesburg to make my purchase. read more

Very Helpful staff. I been going to this shop for about 3 years and always get what I want. As far as the staff smoking? Who cares....Its a GUN SHOP not a food store. The owner smokes and allows customers as well. It a great place to meet other gun owners and socialize a bit. read more

They def have LoTs of ak and M4 and g3s buying guns for years from then they are awesome best prices around don't know what this old guy talking about read more

This is an old school family business (I think the two guys there are brothers, but not sure). I use Dominion as my FFL for firearms transfers for online purchases. Their service in that capacity couldn't be any friendlier and they offer the best rate for FFL transfers in the area (every other shop is $5 to $25 more). Selection of firearms there is a bit spotty, but it's a small shop so complaints about selection are really unfair. They have a nice assortment of vintage military rifles but the prices are on the high side compared to what you can find online - more comparable to what a lot of gun show vendors would ask for similar vintage MILSURP stuff. The surplus accessories, uniforms and gear is loosely organized and you can expect to find a healthy dose of dust throughout. A little more clutter and the "Hoarders" TV show could do an episode there - but that's part of the charm once you get used to it. The proprieters do NOT go out of their way to answer the phone, respond to emails or contact you when your package arrives (in their FFL transfer capacity) - - get over it. They'll be responsive - but they operate as though their lives do not revolve around you (and is that so bad really?). If you want to be treated like you're royalty you will be sorely disappointed by this shop - but if you can wipe your own nose these fellas will be more than helpful with whatever you need. I used to use G&A Warehose as my local FFL and got so fed up by the snarky attitudes of the kids behind the counters there that I switched to Dominion. I'll take the chain-smoking brothers at Dominion over the guys at G&A every day of the week and twice on Sunday. read more
