I had heard that Equilibrium had an incredible selection, but nothing prepared me for seeing it in person. This was my first visit, and I was genuinely amazed by the inventory. They have just about everything you could imagine--handguns, rifles, shotguns, antique firearms, knives, ammo, eye and ear protection, targets, cases, safes, and much more. If you're looking for something hard to find, this is the first place I'd check. Even though I don't have my pistol permit yet and couldn't purchase a handgun, the gentleman who helped me never made me feel rushed. He patiently answered every question I had and spent so much time explaining things that it honestly felt like I had taken a Firearms for Beginners class. That level of customer service is hard to find. The prices seemed fair, maybe just slightly higher than some other Long Island shops, but the selection and service more than justify it. They also offer concealed carry courses, notary services, and even a firearms simulator. I left without buying anything today, but I'll definitely be back in the very near future! read more

Viele, viele Waffen, viele, viele antike Messer - wirklich eine Augenweide. Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr nett und professionell, der Service war erstklassig. Sie haben detailliert über die Waffengesetze in New York aufgeklärt, damit man beim Kauf keine bösen Überraschungen erlebt! read more

Equilibrium Firearms - gun store - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Mineola, New York

I needed information on a gun I wanted to buy for a friend. I told him I was not ready to make a purchase at this time. The associate freely gave his time anyway to patiently explain the product and it's pros and cons. He also told me about similar models that might match the type of gun I wanted for my friend. It was a excellent experience. I learned a lot and I really wouldn't go anywhere else when I am ready to buy. read more

Fantastic selection of firearms and friendly staff. One of the best selections of high-end pistols that I've seen.

These guys were fair and excellent when I went in. No complaints here and a EXCELLENT selection compared to other gun stores. Mossberg 940

Equilibrium is one stop shopping. The entire staff is extremely helpful. They answer your questions and ensure you have everything you need. read more

Great shop , very attentive and knowledgeable. Appreciate all their help. Definitely coming back soon

Kevin is a very patient and knowledgeable professional. I would say 10/10 customer service. Highly recommend.

Mr Sang is excellent, he made notarizing our documents a breeze. Definitely, will use him again. Thanks read more

this gun store steals from all of its customers buying guns or ammunition. They are upping the price on all of the state mandated background checks which is illegal and when i confronted the owner on how he can not do that he responded with "i can do what ever i want." I've reported this shop to the attorney generals office who has an active on this and all matters regarding this gun shop. i want everyone to know before you enter look up the current background check fees ammo is $2.50 firearms is $9.00 read more

if I could give -0 i would. I'm filing this complaint against Equilibrium for the mishandling of a custom gun build I submitted in March, and the shockingly poor customer service that followed. I paid $350 up front, then heard nothing for over two months. Despite calling the store more than 25 times, I received vague excuses like "we're busy" or "we'll call you back." Finally, on April 24th, I was told that a specialized gunsmith was needed--along with an additional $934.22 for parts and labor. I paid it, trusting this would lead to completion. Weeks passed again with no updates. After more unreturned calls, I was finally told that they could not build the gun at all. No clear explanation, no accountability, just a statement that the service I paid for couldn't be fulfilled. When I arrived to pick up my parts, the staff offered no apology, refused to refund any of the $1,284.22 I spent, and behaved in an appallingly rude and unprofessional manner. I understand that some parts were ordered, and I'm not disputing those costs--but how can a company justify keeping everything, and leave me with nothing but frustration? Their behavior is unethical and deceptive. NEVER NEVER NEVER go to this store. Consider this a warning to anyone thinking of trusting them with your time, your money, or your property. Staff Taught to give Excuses, rolls their eyes at customers!!! So RUDE read more

A wide selection of firearms and knives. If you are looking for anything that goes bang or swiftly cuts through anything using a sharp edge, this is the place you want to go. The guy helping me, Evan, was very knowledgable, professional, and very welcoming as well. Highly recommended for those who believe in the 2nd amendment right! read more

Great selection of guns and the staff are very knowledgeable about everything they got! Would definitely stop by again!

Excellent service. Knowledgeable staff Rob one of the staff answered every question I asked and more. Thank you Rob. Everyone should pass by this store !! read more

Although I do not have my pistol permit just yet, I went into the store and one of the employees named Rob walked me through a few different choices for a conceal and carry. They follow the rules very well did not allow me to actually handle the gun because I did not have a license just yet. He was very helpful and gave me a lot of advice. Thank you I will be back to purchase my first gun. read more

Sam was fantastic, ask for him, really knowledgable. Takes his time and knows his stuff as well as the laws

great experience. Large selection. They are very helpful and give great advice. thank you

$175 for a $50 anderson lower.. haha yea okay $399 for a $189 Aero lower.. that's ridiculous. Price gauge in this shop is insane! & the owner is rude! ... try to play someone else fool. read more

"Our aim is to be one of the friendliest FFL's in town." Can you believe that this is the first sentence on their company mission statement? I live in the area and was stoked to go inside Equilibrium Firearms and support my local business. I was greeted by an employee that barely greeted me and did not say anything as to when someone would help me. The owner, Sam, finally comes out with a stoic face as if he is mad to see customers. This is literally one of the worst customer service interactions I've had in my life, much less at a gun store where there is usually a sense of community. He handed me a featureless rifle without any help or description and was clearly frustrated or annoyed to answer any questions. This basic standard issue AR-15 was insanely overpriced at over $1,800. I was able to purchase a high quality DSI-15 featureless AR that isn't a basic Smith & Wesson for $1300 along with a PC Carbine 9MM for basically the same price as this overpriced basic AR at Equilibrium. The craziest thing is I am glad that Sam had utterly no social awareness and personality to run his business. I could have easily been convinced to purchase the AR at his store with even a modicum of decent sales skills. I walked in the store ready to purchase and left with a feeling of disgust that this store is in my community. I hope the owner turns things around as I typically support all FFL's. read more

I went to Equilibrium firearms to purchase my 2nd firearm. I was so excited, I called ahead to make sure they had what I was looking for a Ruger SR22. The guy on the phone said they had the firearm and it was going on clearance today. Told me he only had 1 and would hold it for me and we can discuss the price when I get there. When I got there the price tag was marked $500.00, so I asked what the clearance price was. He told me he can't do any better than $500 that there was no wiggle room, if I paid cash he wouldn't charge me tax that I misunderstood him on the phone. There was no misunderstanding, he lied to me. Anyway I wanted the gun. So I bought the Ruger, a holster and ammunition. I was rushed out of the store because the salesman had a class to teach and Nassau County Pistol dept was going to close in 25 minutes. Shame on me for rushing! Little did I know he charged me $515 for the firearm $20 more than he said he would give me the holster for and $30.00 for a background check. WHATTT! That is ridiculous. I never heard of being charged that much for a background check. When I went back and approached the salesman that took over about the price on the receipt and how I was taken advantage of, he tried to double talk me, knowing that there wasn't anything that I could do because the gun was already register to me. As I was leaving he said "here is a box of ammo for the confusion". There wasn't any confusion, this place is shady, a ripoff! BEWARE! I will never refer ANYONE to this place. read more

First visit to equilibrium firearms. I am from France so I had a purchase document ready to expire in 2 days . They didn't have my first YouTube recruit in stock but I happily " settled" on a sig sauer p365 x Romeo elite! Keith helped me make the selection. He was very helpful and answered all of my random questions without getting frustrated. We spoke about the next purchase and Keith offered to special order it from the supplier when I get my next purchase document. The shop is organized with a decent selection of new pistols and long guns on hand. As you walk in the store to the right they have a used section full of long guns. As far as pricing is concerned they are on par with New York pricing . Yes I could have save 50$ by gunbroker , shipping and transfer fees.... But support local business ! read more

Great display and selections. They were very friendly. I will definitely be going there from now on. read more

Equilibrium Firearms - Great display and selections - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Mineola, New York

awesome safety training courses. Very informative and entertaining. Carry a bunch of cool airsoft guns and knives, swords, safety gear, etc.

Walking into a gun store is almost like walking into a tattoo shop. You may feel intimidated because you want to get something but were afraid to ask. I visited this store with the intentions of purchasing a stun gun but only know what I've seen on YouTube. The sales guy was helpful in answering my questions and demonstrated the various models on display. The price of the stun gun is reasonable considering I'll save by not traveling to another state to buy one. So if you're looking for a stun gun or something that can cause more pain, do a drive-by to Equilibrium... read more

Absolute ripoff. They tried to charge me almost $40 for a $10-15 box of shotgun target loads and gave me some nonsense song and dance when I told them to put it back on the shelf. They're clearly looking to take advantage of consumers that don't know any better. 0/10 never going back. Do not give them your business. read more

They have a good selection of rifles, the only problem is the prices are too high compared to other stores, only thing saving the place is one of the sales person was nice . read more

Great store, very knowledgeable staff, patient and definitely assist you wil what is best for you and your budget. Equipt with almost anything you need. read more

I believe in supporting local businesses and in the market for a firearm, but not trying to price gouge newbies. I know owning a store can be competitive with online pricing. I usually let that slide by 20%. Meaning if I can get it for $500 online, I'm willing to buy it from a local store at up to $600, depending how bad I want it. Every gun I looked at in this place was at least double in price - for stuff that's not even rare or out of stock. Example, a gun easily purchased online (and plenty available) for $600, they were selling for $1300! I can buy it online for $600, have it transferred to my FFL for $30 and avoid NYS Sales tax. That's $630 vs $1300 ($1415 after tax)! That's just nuts and I can't support this price gouging. A fair business treats their customers fairs and in return the community treats them fair and gives them business. Everyone gets to eat, not just the gun store owner. The other place around the corner from them, Jimmy's something, isn't any better. They prey on the newbie Chinese gun shooting community who can't speak English and go online and do their own research. Such a shame - this Island needs better gun shops/representation and doesn't help the 2A community with wolf-tactics like this. read more

We bought our mossberg shotgun here. Great prices and the staffs were very friendly and helpful.

Large variety of Guns, Ammo, and accessories + an awesome VR Shooting Range. Highly recommend.

When I saw a $900 price tag for a Mossberg Shockwave (after I was refused a price quote on the phone as if it were a State secret) I made a b line for the door. Either they think the public is stupid or they are just greedy beyond belief. Gouging is not nice. You are not the only shop in town. read more

Great experience purchasing here. Very knowledgable staff. Very helpful. Would definitely recommend

RIP-OFF!! Bought my first rifle here before I knew anything about prices. Basically charged double what it cost from the manufacturer. Paid $3k for a rifle that cost $1600. Ammo and red dot was super expensive too. Don't get taken like I did. Avoid this store. There are better options near by. read more

Equilibrium has a amazing selection of guns and helpful service, bit pricey but considering having the selection of rarer guns I wanted I was willing to pay anything for them, looking forward to going back for more ! read more

Update: After shopping around, I got completely ripped off for the Stevens 320 12 gauge. Every other store around sells it for $249-279 and this guy Sam charges $479. He also didn't want to stand behind his own WRITTEN return policy for rifle bag. I had to argue to get him to take it back. Victor is SUPER friendly and helpful, Sam the "manager" aka owner isn't so much. Would never go back and they lost a customer. read more

Cool place to come to. They have a great selection of Firearms and miscellaneous stuff that people could over look. The staff was very nice and knowledgeable, just wish it wasn't so pricey, but with today's climate Pickers cant be chosers. read more

Wanted a home defense weapon and never owned a firearm before. Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. Good selection available. Will be going back for another firearm. read more

Equilibrium Firearms was so welcoming and informative. I came to buy a stun gun, not knowing much in general, but the staff took their time to explain and show my options. They were really respectful and in no way condescending or pretentious. Glad I came here. Thank you! read more

Super friendly staff and very stocked. Love this place! They have everything you need and great location.
