Steps 1. Read the sign upfront. 2. Park Accordingly. 3. Its a store with firearms, lets not take things way too personal, they are nice people, relax. I believe this location is a person by person experience. My experience went well, I even got a review on my own personal firearm. I came in and without saying a word and fast speaking kind gentleman assisted me with my first purchase. Considering I was tired and hardly focused, he had patience with me and my father. He reviewed my safety rules with and explained the new policies that will be coming up soon. He helped me pick up all accessories and put me on to things I thought I didnt need. If youve never been at a city bodega (if not, grow up) , the way these guys move is very similar . They are masters and very fast-paced. Its a very New York styled runned business. So if you ask, you have to follow with whats being told to you. ( FOCUS. ) Id refer anyone to this location. Just have patience and advise them of your knowledge . If there is none there theyll explain what you need to know. Be advised, this isnt a take it personal location. You arent in toys r us . You are in a store with Firearms, so yes you can have a good time but understand this is a very serious place of business . There are plenty of employees there, its a free county and you are welcomed to ask any of the other gentlemen there a question. read more

I have known Mark for many years. I have both sold him my old guns and purchased new. I always found him to keep his word and stand behind his product 100% read more

I can tell you that this facility, which is a hands-on tactical supply for all your firearm needs, has a staff that is knowledgeable, respectful, and considerate. When you're looking for information on purchasing a weapon I had a fantastic experience with a gentleman that went the extra mile to make sure I had the correct application for my needs, I highly recommend utilizing this firearm store. If you're traveling in the area and want to stop in to look at this selection, I'm proud to leave this review for the staff who held me to the highest regard possible. Thank you for reading. read more

Friendly and very knowledgeable staff. Mark and Jason are right on point. Great pricing as well.

Went in here one time to purchase an off duty handgun and i have never been back. Not a singular worker in there could be bothered. I asked to look at two guns, the worker who was helping me dropped the guns and walked away without a word said. I suggest going to south shore sportsman or campsite, significantly better service with guys who really care about getting the right gun in your hands. read more

The big guy at the front near the used guns ignored me for about 15 min before asking if i wanted to see anything as if i was bothering his conversation he was having with his buddy. Feels shady.. knock on the back steel door and someone will let u in and lock it behind you...everyone seemed inconvenienced to help me read more

Great experience everyone is very helpful, very knowledgeable I would recommend this place to anyone great selection from handguns, shotguns, Rifles, Assault rifles. Tactical gear. I think I found my new favorite gun shop. read more

This happened years ago, review was on Google figured I'd repost here. If your life depends on your weapon do not purchase your gun from here. I purchased a brand new Glock 19 Gen 5 with Night sights from here over a year ago. Ever since I bought this gun I have shot low with it, I have always assumed it was me as a shooter causing this. Over time I came to doubt this, I carry my issued Glock 17 and shoot almost perfect scores everytime then I switch to my personal owned daily carry Glock 19 and I shoot 20 points lower, my grouping drops at least 10 inches everytime from my Glock 17. My agency's firearms instructors(who all go to Glock armorer school) finally took a look and said something isn't right with the way this is shooting, he took a look and noticed the rear sight is stamped with "6.1 mm" on it which he said he had never seen before and the side of the side did not have the notch cut into it that the other 19's had. This was our clue that something was not right so we took out the Glock armorers manual and looked up with sight was supposed to be on my gun, long story short Glock universally employs 6.5 mm rear sights, they make one gun that uses a 6.1 mm sight which is a Glock 17L (long slide) which is a very uncommon gun and the only one that uses that articular sight so that's why they stamp it with 6.1 mm on it, to dummy proof it and prevent this exact situation from happening. My firearm instructor also told me he believed based on wear and tare on the rear sight and dimming of the glow in the night sight that this sight was several years old and would be much older than a new gun purchased a year ago. So I was told take it back to the dealer and if he tries to say this is how it was shipped to him just stop and report everything to Glock and let them deal with him as he is dirtying their name and they would not tolerate it. So I take a very angry drive to this store and decide not go in screaming as I was very upset being that I carry this gun everyday on the job and my life has been unnecessarily put at risk due to this situation for over a year, thankfully I never got into a shootout on the job with this weapon. I go in as calmly as I can and approach the owner and state that before we start fair warning my patience are extremely thin but I'm going to try and stay civil. He is immediately defensive and when I tell him that he sold me a gun with the wrong sights on it he immediately claims that Glock sent it that way. I state that we're done here and I'm calling Glock to tell them what he is doing. At this point his story changes from the gun being shipped to him that way to Glock must have sent him the wrong sight in his bag of new sights which he pulls out. He says I would have pulled it out of here so it must be Glocks fault. He says he doesn't know why the sight says 6.1 mm on it the other ones he has don't, even after I show him the page from the armorers manual and explain the "dummy proofing" he still maintains he can't verify any other sight would be correct then. I finally get him to remove my sight from my gun and compare to a new proper sized sight, he shrugs and say "ehh maybe there's a . something mm difference in the sight". Reality being there is a .4 mm difference in the sight, and a gun store owner should certainly understand that the wrong sight can greatly affect your shooting, and to say that to someone who may be using that firearm to protect my own life or anyone's life is astounding. So to try and suggest that it is unreasonable to be upset with him over the wrong sight being placed on it is dumbfounding. The way I see it the most likely chain of events was not that he maliciously gave me a wrong sight intentionally putting my life in jeopardy, I believe he was looking to save $80 on the new night he was supposed to give me and instead replaced it with an old sight he had laying around and even though he is a Glock authorized dealer he is too incompetent to know that the sight he put on was wrong. read more

After I retired 2 years ago I decided to take up the sport of riflery again. I say again because, coming from Virginia, I grew up with firearms, even had and had shot as a teenager an 8mm Mauser my great uncle had brought back from the WWI battlefields of France, but had not had the time or inclination to do anything with firearms while I was working. I landed at Hunter Sports a little over a year ago after trying and rejecting several other firearms dealers on LI and have stayed with them ever since. Their staff is professional, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Their prices are as fair as any can be in NY and their inventory is impressive. I suspect Mark and Mike know everything there is to know about firearms and the laws governing their use in NY. Joe, retired from the NYPD is also quite knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Jason, also retired from the NYPD, has been particularly helpful to me by patiently answering all of my questions and doing his best to help whenever I've had a problem with a rifle purchased there or acquired elsewhere (such as my 8mm Mauser). He has gone out of his way on a number of occasions to make sure I ended up with the best equipment for my interests and has occasionally steered me away from something I was thinking about purchasing because he correctly surmised I wouldn't be happy with it in the long run. Although I'm not a retired cop or even a hunter I've always felt welcome at Hunter and know, no matter how difficult my problem or how basic my question, I will get the help I need when I go there. read more

I've been going to Hunter Sports for years and that's because Mark is a great guy, knows his guns, very personable and helps everyone. I've sent other people there, whether law enforcement or hunters, and they say and feel the same. He works with you. Highly recommend anyone to go here to buy a firearm of any type. Plus, he's very well versed in the law. VERY IMPORTANT. read more

I'm a novice shooter and I have always felt out of place walking into a gun store. I don't know the proper terminology for somethings. I have gaps in knowledge most shooters think is common sense. I went hunting once and decided I want to get into it, but first I need my own rifle and to learn how to shoot reliable. So I came to this place with after a few recommendations the idea I'll buy the cheapest hunting rifle I could and practice with it and go from there. The clerk, Adam, assisting helped immensely with the selection and buying process. I'm not sure if he is the owner of just an employee. I didn't feel out of place being such a rookie, he embraced the idea of getting into the sport and took his time to walk me through making a purchase. I was really happy about this and though I spent a little more money than I had anticipated, I walked out very content with my purchase. The rest of the staff seemed very helpful and knowledgeable as well just based on my eavesdropping with their other customers. Their selection is pretty impressive too. read more

Fantastic store . Knowledgeable staff and a great selection , also they deal with the BEST gunsmith on Long Island . I am an avid shooter and collector and this is my go to store for almost 20 years now , Mark , Mike , Adam and the rest of the staff are pros with a knowledge of firearms to suit everyone from novice to the professional . Would definitely recommend this shop . read more

I was enrolled in a class at Hunter Sports in February 2023. The class was well planned out and incredibly informative. The instructor, Jimmy, was a plethora of knowledge and information. I was so glad he was our instructor. He took the time to answer all of our questions, provide real life scenarios and make sure everyone understood the topics before moving on to next topic. It was a lot of information being taught. All the information was presented clearly and kept us all engaged. I learned so much during this class and Jimmy's teaching methods made it stick in my brain. I would highly recommend the classes offered at Hunter Sports especially with Jimmy. read more

While the Corona virus Going on The prices changed over night same shutgun and ammunition much higher next day... Nasty attitude !!!! Took advantage of people at lowest point !!!! read more

I read reviews, chose not to listen to the negative ones and go in and see for myself. So first thing I'll mention is they were very nice to my wife. They joked with her, spoke to her with respect and treated her as an equal to me. I dealt with John , white dude with a shaved head and Jay the Spanish guy. I walked in , was greeted right away , told where to wait, I waited patiently to be helped, they were busy and tending to customers. After about 10 mins I was approached by Jay and John. I told them what I wanted they showed it to me and a few other options and answered every question my wife and I had for them. They were nice , friendly , talkative and just fkn chill. My backround got delayed, so I was told I can come back when it clears or I can buy the gun now and put it on hold til my backround cleared. I was told if it didn't clear I'd be refunded in full. Usually I wouldn't do this , but I decided to pay in full , I knew my backrounds would clear anyway , but I trusted them and took a chance. I came back in on my lunch break on Tuesday. Jay was there and I told him I was on lunch and short on time can we get this done fast. Jay literally got going hustled and got me in and out in on my break. I Also picked up some accessories and ammo. Jay made sure to let me know my firearm had a lifetime warranty , which he didn't have to mention but he did. Informed me on warranties and returns and how it goes. Don't listen to negative reviews, dnt be a weirdo when u go there and don't be a dick and you won't have any issues, in my opinion , walk in with good vibes. I walked in and was just myself and It really couldn't have gone any smoother. They will get more business from me 100% Jay and John for sure will be the guys I go to. read more

Great selection, great prices, knowledgeable staff. Its hard to find a good local place on Long Island. This place is great.

My friend and I went there today to check on information about a gun. They explained the entire process to us, explained we should take lessons first, etc. They spent a good deal of time with us "novices" and were very patient with us. Explained the entire process and did not rush us at all!!!!!! very impressed with all of them. read more

STAY AWAY, THIEVES! I had 2000 rounds of 5.56 Shipped to them from LuckyGunner.com. Lucky gunner fed-ex the ammo to them. I received delivery confirmation from FedEx with the employee D.Adams who signed for it. When I went to pick Ammo from Hunter sports, they "claimed" they never received delivery. I showed them the FedEx delivery confirmation that they received it and that a D.Adams signed for it. They confirm there is a David Adams that works there but they never received delivery?!? I have the confirmation you idiot!! Luckygunner and FedEx launched an investigation and will no longer be using them as an FLL. I was notified by FedEx this is not the first time this "dealer" has pulled this nonsense. Just walk into the store, and see what a PIGSTY this place is! Shows what type of people run that circus...the guys that work at HUNTER SPORTS are a joke! I will be sure to make my experience know on every social media platform available. read more

My wife recently took up sporting clays and I wanted to get her a nice O/U 12ga to go with her semi auto Beretta 391 20ga. After looking around at a bunch of shops in Northern & Central Virginia I turned to the web. That's when I stumbled across Hunters Sport in Massapequa, NY. Mark at Hunters Sport hooked me up with a slightly used Beretta 687 Silver Pigeon III for a price I had to jump at. When I say I had to jump at it I mean it... I never stepped foot into the store. We traded emails and calls only. Mark's pictures and description of the gun were 100% accurate. He was over critical about the only small blemish on the gun so I wouldn't be shocked. The small "blemish" on the trigger guard he mentioned was almost nothing. I've seen the same blemish on multiple other 687's so it has to be a Beretta design issue and not this shotguns. From start to finish the whole deal took about 10 days which included me sending them a check and them sending the gun to my FFL. Honestly the gun was so well taken care of and described perfectly that I was taken back when I opened it at the gun shop. Best part- my wife loved can't stop looking at it and wants to go shooting clays this Friday & Saturday! Hunter Sports was so easy to deal with and gave me amazing customer service I wish they were closer so I could browse their selection. read more

Mark and the team at Hunter Sports are awesome. Do your research and you will find his prices are as good if not better than the competition. I have been going there since they opened and they have only ever been nothing but friendly and professional. Support your local gun dealer and forget the big box stores. In the end, they will be the last one standing to support the shooting sports. read more

My father recently purchased his first shotgun from these guys. Most of the staff are friendly, courteous and extremely knowledgeable, especially Adam. We have been back a few times to pick up ammo and he was always extremely helpful and eager to educate those of us with only limited experience without being condescending. Seriously, we basically had "beginner" written all over our faces but we didn't feel belittled at all. Overall, I recommend this place highly, especially if Adam is working that day. Now here is my one complaint: there's an older guy that works there- maybe a retired cop? I'm not sure- but he was working there once instead of Adam and we did not care for his attitude at all. Very stuck up and actually seemed annoyed that customers were trying to give the store business! If you see this guy and have a complicated question or anything, I'd walk right out and come back another day. read more

Hunter Sports is by far the best gun shop on Long Island. The gun selection is amazing and Adam is my go to guy. He is very knowledgeable and always a big help. I Highly recommend this shop. read more

It's weird, the number of reviewers with only one or two reviews under their belt writing one star reviews and slamming Hunter Sports, and recommending other gun shops! Anyway... Without getting into details about my own gun ownership (this is a public review) I'll say I've had a good experience buying from Adam on more than one occasion. Nobody minds if you browse and there has to be a crowd if you are feeling ignored. Buying a firearm takes a while with all the paperwork so don't feel slighted if you are behind a slow customer. They are also pretty up on the NYC rules which are a bit confusing, and they aren't even a city shop. read more

There are two reviews on here that list their poor customer service and arrogant attitude... It's all true. "They act like they are doing you a favor" and "if you are not their boy don't go there" I agree110%. I only went there b/c a friend referred me. I picked up my first gun there and it was no problem... Cuz they had it there. When I bought my second gun, quite the contrary. I called them up to ask for a gun and they tell me it's in their warehouse. I drive there to pick it up and they say they "messed up" and didn't get it from the warehouse. "Call me before to come next week". A week goes by and they tell me they had to order it. Another week and they tell me "call me back in TWO HOURS" (with attitude, of course) Another week and they are blaming "their guy at the distributor". So, I end up buying something else from them to get this transaction over with. I bring it home and there was rust on the barrel and it was missing the front sight. My friends told me to take it back and have them make it right. I just felt like it wasn't even worth it. I just don't wanna deal with them again. It's not even like their prices are good anyway! I gave them two stars cuz I think their selection is 1/2 way decent for a small shop, however, they would get a zero from me for everything else. read more

I did not like the service at all. I've been in the store 3-4 times and women are treated like we don't count. They talk down to me like I'm not going to understand the intricacies of what I'm considering. So chauvinistic! The only reason they got a 2 instead of a 1 is because they had the Ruger PC9 Carbine in stock. Go to South Shore Sportsman, Campsite, or DSI if you're a woman and want excellent service. read more

I come here to get most of my things. The staff is very friendly and treats people with respect. They are reasonably priced and never steered me wrong. They are honest about their prices and never try to just sell you the big ticket items. They get a feel for your personality and guide you on where you should go. I've been to other places and have been taken advantage of in the beginning before I really knew about the merchandise. The guys here took the time out and explained everything to me before selling anything to me making sure I was now knowledge about it, whether on not I purchased the product. Their has been a few times that they told me not to purchase an item just cause it wasn't worth it, and they didn't steer me to the big ticket item!!!! I am a repeat customers there and they will continue to receive my business. read more

Guys think they are way above you, ask questions and they belittle you. 100% never spend a dollar here, I'll go somewhere where they don't get frustrated with a customer trying to learn. read more

I will never buy anything here again. Prices are high service is low. I Purchased two brand new firearms here and ordered a spare magazine and paid in advance. Never received the mag and when I called I was treated very poorly ever time I followed up. Mark the owner actually asked me to return a product so I could buy it again from him. Beware be warned... read more

Absolutely the best gun shop on Long Island. I've been to a few shops in Suffolk County, and none of them compare to Hunter. Biggest and best selection by far. The staff were very helpful, even when it got busy. I purchased my first Kimber 1911. Mark took the time to show me how to properly break it down and clean. Very friendly atmosphere unlike some other places I've visited. I would recommend this shop to anyone. I drive more than 25 miles to shop here. It's worth the drive. read more

Great store and has a large selection of firearms! Very Friendly Staffs, especially Adam. While my husband was there and his English is not well, so he put me on the phone to translate. Adam was really patient and went through all the questions on the paper with me over the phone, then I translated it to my husband. With Adam's help, he got his online order and made another purchase. My husband is really happy with his purchases. Thank you Adam!! read more

I was looking for a great 357 for Plinking. Adam went through a Dozen revolvers until I settled On a SW 327 TRR8. The trigger Is super smooth and the gun Handles 357 effectively. Shooting wad cutter 38 is like Butter. No kick at all... tight Grouping. I recommend Hunter! read more

Don't expect a fair deal much less any breaks here. The owner Mark is interested in his profit margin and separating you from your money. I bought two firearms here paying more than I had to just to support a local business. He actually suggested I return some Filson gear that I had just purchased from another dealer and then buy it from him at the same price so he could make an additional sale. He heard I had an invite to hunt some private land and actually tried to invite himself. Talk about low class.... I prepaid for a spare magazine and he never followed up. When I called he gave me a long story about how the were back ordered and tried to beat me out of the magazine. Bottom line..... poor business man and zero customer service. I am a loyal customer and a big spender. Will not spend a nickel here again. Beware and be forewarned. read more

Great store, staff is helpful and I have purchase numerous times. They are a busy store as they have a very large selection of guns and parts etc. read more

All the bad reviews on this place is for Real they're very rude and they don't help you, they are all talking bullshittin and not worried about customers ,they had someone behind the counter where the pistols are and doesn't even work there ,to me it's a bunch of clowns running this place read more

I had a bad experience at hunter sports. I went in to buy some 223, and they told me I was only allowed to buy 20 rounds. When they got my shocked response to this, the guy developed a real attitude with me and said "well then don't buy it" I really felt like I was being treated like a criminal, for wanting to buy some ammo to use at the range. I went over to the South Shore Sportsman and picked up 200 rounds no problem. I don't know if I went on a bad night, or just got a bad sales person, but I don't think I'll ever return to this store. read more

I don't know how this store is still up and running. This store has to be the worst gun store on the island. The customer service is awful. The employees don't acknowledge you and talk about inappropriate things in front of you. I was standing there one time waiting for them to finish discussing how miserable their lives were before addressing my needs. Beware of the old fat guy. They think you're doing them a favor by coming in to the store. Well guess what! I will make sure that no one I know comes to this store ever again. Hunter Sports, you lost not one customer but many! read more

If your not one of their boys don't go. They act like they are doing you a favor shopping there. You can get the same stuff anywhere without the attitude attached , would rather shop at sports authority and if that sounds like an insult it is !! read more

This is a great place- the people are professional, knowledgeable, patient and courteous. The inventory is also extensive. I'd highly recommend them. read more

Visited the store for the 3rd time this year to buy ammo. Every time I shop there, I am amazed at the poor, unfriendly attitude from every employee in the store. This time, the store wasn't busy at all, and the employees had no interest in being helpful. It's almost as if you are bothering them by asking them a question. There answers to any questions are short, curt, and usually with attitude. Three strikes and you are out. This was my third and last time shopping there. read more

I have been shopping here for 10 years and have never been disappointed. The staff is knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with. Marc and Mike take time to work with you and make sure you are satisfied. I have traded in old for new and have received fair value. They treat law enforcement like family. read more
