They are very happy to take your money but don't expect any service after the sale. Sold my husband an AR that had problems. The gunsmith wouldn't even come talk to us. He said it was our problem not theirs to send back to the factory. Thanks for the help. Worst customer service because there's not any. read more

No gun shop in the area has the selection that Jim's does. The staff has always been very friendly and knowledgeable. The only negative I have is how much they mark up their firearms. Their pricing is much higher than most places in the Baton Rouge area. read more

I've been a customer for 20+ years. Jim takes a personal interest in every customer. I have had very good results with the gunsmith services there. I also know that there is no "pressure selling". The staff tries to match the person's needs and capabilities to the firearm. From a self defense perspective, you are not just buying a firearm. You are getting expertise from people who care about your safety and welfare. I plan to be a customer for another 20+ years. read more

Worst experience ever, dropped my gun off almost 3 weeks ago to have some repairs done, and wasn't given a time on the repair. After the 1st week, I called to check the status, and was told they hadn't gotten to it, but it would be about 4 more days. Called back 1 week and 4 days later to be told, it would be 2 to 3 weeks due to a 4 to 6 week turn around, after being on hold for 26 minutes. So I decided to go and pick my gun up, and when I got there the gunsmith told me it was disassembled and I would have to wait an hour and a half, before I could take my gun. I had literally spoken with him 20 minutes prior to showing up, and he had a very bad attitude. To avoid confrontation I left and called back to speak with a manager, which was a waist of my time, after an hour I picked my gun up to find it looked worst than it did when I brought it there. While I was there, there was another customer complaining about not receiving a call back on a gun purchase. I have many friends in the gun collection business, and trust me, I will be sharing this experience with each and everyone of them. Worst experience ever!!!!!!!!!! They don't deserve a 1 star, so consider this rating as a negative 1!!!!!!! read more

Jim's firearms is the place to go. They may be just a bit higher than other places, but the service there is second to none. They do what they say they will do. The staff is very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about firearms. The one thing you can count on is the fact that they will have what you are looking for and you don't have to drive 200 miles to get it. read more

Jims is a great place to go to get a hands on experience with a potential new gun, as they do have quite a broad selection of firearms. I like going here to shop around, determine what I want, then I go buy it anywhere else. There are many smaller shops locally and Cabela's down the street that price match guns. They are extremely overpriced and are usually even higher than what MSRP is listed at from the manufacturer, which is insane. This applies to everything in the store... from ammo, optics, and guns to apparel, accessories, and gun smithing. These guys will not price match so don't ask. If you are lucky enough to get attention from a salesman be prepared for being an inconvenience to them. I unfortunately purchased several guns from Jim's before I realized how much more expensive they were. As many other people have noted, the salesman usually tend to have a poor attitude towards customers and are extremely condescending. Bottom line: Cool place to go look and figure out what you want, but GO BUY IT ELSEWHERE!!!! read more

My wife and I have purchased several firearms from Jim's. The staff has always been more than friendly and accommodating. Some reviewers complain about the prices, staff, service, and anything else they can complain about. Well, you can't please everybody. They are in the business of selling guns to make a profit, not give their merchandise away. If you don't like the store, then don't shop there. It's just that simple. Personally, I like Jim's. I have always been treated well. I'll never understand what some people expect. read more

Been going to Jim's for yrs., even when they were in a much smaller building across the st. Several years ago they did a fine job modifying the barrel of my 30.06 Remington deer rifle to take a little kick out of it. Works great; killed many deer with it since, almost always in a single shot. In the yrs since, I've gone to them with questions about various firearms matters and they've been helpful and patient. I am a woman and didn't grow up hunting or shooting guns, but they don't seem to hold that against me! Gave them 4 stars instead of 5 because I wish they had a shooting range onsite where people could try out a long gun before buying it. :) read more

EXTREMELY pricey. You can usually expect to find guns at about a 10% markup from MSRP(considering dealers get them for less than MSRP) but I have yet to find a single firearm in the store that is not marked up at least 33% above retail. This is highway robbery. The owners seem to believe that the internet does not exist, and they are the customer's only option for firearms! The staff are relatively helpful in the condescending way that I have come to expect with a trip to Jim's. I am a knowledgeable firearm owner but the staff here seem to treat every customer as if they are a 20-something sorority girl buying a saturday night special. Take your business over to Precision Firearms 5 minutes down the road, they may not be fancy, but they know what they are and they won't try to bend you over a barrel in terms of price. DO NOT GIVE JIM'S YOUR BUSINESS. read more

Jim's has many firearms and accessories in stock which makes them a great one stop shop. They are priced a good bit higher than most local shops in town. They have many knowledgeable sales reps to help you. I personally use the store to actually handle and lay my eyes on the product that I am interested in buying and then I usually buy the product for much cheaper else where or Order it online. My last recent firearm purchase I bought, I found at Jim's in stock and was able to handle the product to verify that it was indeed all what I had researched on the web. I ended up traveling roughly 10 miles from Jim's to barking irons, another local gunsmith and retail shop and ordered the firearm for almost $100.0 less than what Jim's had it priced at and I received it the same day! read more

I love this place!!!! My review probably would not do it the justice it stands for. The staff is very professional and helpful with their extensive knowledge of various firearms from actual hands on experience. I met Scott and he is a very great listener to my needs and educated me on different firearms until we found the right one for me. He was very patient, compassionate and understanding to a woman's needs for self defense beyond pepper spray unlike Bass Pro shops. Scott refer me to FRC, a firearms range, where I met Cole to try out the firearm first before I purchase without experiencing how the recoil and the way it fires. Cole is also amazingly helpful and there's a lot of self defense classes available there. I am very comfortable there since cops are there also having classes held for them to practice. I feel safe. I have been back twice @FRC and will continue to go back. I also met Tyler the next day at Jim's when I came back to make my purchase and he is also very knowledgeable and patient. I will be returning make another purchase with Scott's assistance over the past few days span. I am finally able to complete my protection plan of purchase. I'm shy and had been circling Bass Pro shops and Cabela's at many locations but the many staff basicly pointed me to pepper spray or tasers or simply ignored my shopping needs. I eventually purchased a concealer knife just to at least have something so my family can stop worrying about my solo cross country travels. I felt discriminated as a women in a "firearms department or man's world" at Bass Pro shop. For months none of the different locations I visit helped me or greeted me and when I finally did get assistance I quickly realize none of them had ever fire any of the firearms that was in their extensive case. I received many "idk answers". Two consultants was not giving me the confident to purchase bc of their lack of knowledge and they never have fired any of them and was clueless on every aspects. Instead they only seem to know 1 firearm which is their only 1 personal that they like. I tried it and it was awful. I was only greeted and helped bc I asked a guy friend to come with me after expressing my experiences when I have been attempting it alone for several months. The consultant was showing me firearms at $1k plus (upsell) price tags after abundance of "idk answers" to the ones I'm interested in and the other one tried to steer/sell me "a lil lady's firearm". The trigger was so displaced far back that it's just unnatural to your trigger finger. It's too far back and impossible to fire. Did I mention he also agreed to my comment that it's not fire-able bc of that set back. He also attempted to sell me leopards print, a pink and also a purple firearm. Also "a lil lady's" stereotype. I'm not impress bc a firearm is not a fashion accessory. It's a firearm that should be treated with respect and fitting to the user. At Jim's, I had a solid experience with Scott. I'm coming back to make another purchase. One of my girlfriend from New York will also be coming in soon to pick Scott's brain lol. I am immensely pleased with my experience at Jim's and I highly recommend those individuals who are in the market to visit Jim's Firearms. Thank you Scott for the extensive knowledge and education. I feel safer and confident to continue my travels and enjoy myself living life fearlessly. I have learn so much from Jim's staff in a few days compared to 3 months of searching. My stress from assaults have dissipate. I feel safe, sleep well and that's priceless to me. read more

Had some time to kill so I looked around. First thing I noticed was that they were pricey, very pricey. Then I noticed they started following me around, eyeing me, made me uncomfortable so I left. If you know guns I don't have to tell you, stay away. read more

Jim's has a very large selection and large inventory. There isn't too much being made gun-wise they don't have. They tend to be on the expensive side. If you want to actual see and touch a firearm you haven't been able to find elsewhere, they probably have it. Staff is friendly, and they have gun smithing services in store. read more

first off, their selection of guns is impressive whether it be new or used. with that being said however; I've been in this store three times now and have always been made to feel like I was insignificant. i'm quite sure I don't know as much about weapons as they do, but I never in my life have appreciated feeling like I was less important than anyone else. for this fact alone, I will never go back. read more
