Impact has a really nice range and that is the only reason that I go there the few times a year I'm forced to shoot indoors. However, their service is awful, their prices are high, and their employees would rather tell you what you need instead of listening to what you want. I've attempted to buy firearms there on three different occasions and I've finally decided that I will never attempt to buy a firearm from them. I've got friends that say the same thing and have warned me about dealing with the sales staff at Impact Guns.
The first time, I tried buying a shotgun (2008): I stood in front of the "shotgun counter" for over 20 mins before I was finally helped. Then, the jerk behind the counter kept telling me what I should buy; Which happened to be a shotgun out of my price range at the time.
The second time, I tried buying a 9mm pistol (2009): While standing at the middle display cases full of pistols, I was flat out ignored, repeatedly by multiple sales people. It was busy, but even when I would step up and attempt to announce myself, they would look right past me and ask the person next to me or behind me what they needed. I was wearing tennis shoes, jeans, a plain black t-shirt, and a ball cap. I have no exposed tattoos and no piercings. Why they chose to ignore me remains a mystery, but I'm still appalled by it.
The third time, I tried buying a .45 cal pistol (2012): After standing at the middle display case for an extended period of time in their nearly empty store, a short , bald, stocky guy with glasses helped me. Again, instead of listening to me, he would rather tell me that I'm concealing my weapon in the wrong place (I inquired about small .45's for concealment as I'm a CCW holder in Utah) and then tell me all the different pistols he owns and how he conceals each one. That's fine usually, but he kept interrupting me, and refused to shut-up long enough for me to get back on topic. After 20 mins, I finally left without even handling a pistol.
I've been in Utah since 2002 when the Air Force decided Hill AFB would be my permanent duty station. I have known many gun enthusiast over the years and most of them tell me that they dealt with the same issues at Impact and they refuse to shop there. These are active duty military people that can't stand to buy firearms from Impact guns. I can't believe this place is still in business. I'm guessing that if it wasn't for their range, they probably wouldn't be.
I prefer to shop local and buy these types of items from "mom-and-pop" stores, but with service like that, it forces me to go elsewhere to the chain stores (Sportmans, cabelas, etc...) and buy my firearms. read more
