From the moment I dial…read moreup their number, I had a few FFL-specific questions in mind, and their representative answered thoughtfully, and thoroughly. Even though I hadn't ever walked into their shop, they didn't even know who I was, and I had not bought anything from them at that time... they still treated me with the utmost respect. Because of this awesome interaction, I've been saving up to pick up my dream pistol, and I WILL be ordering through Private Sector Arms. Not just because of their respectful, and knowledgeable service reps... but the fact that they are an authorized dealer for many manufacturers including Magnum Research, and Kimber (if memory serves me right). If they place the order, you can save on an FFL transfer fee as you would occur if you purchase a gun off gunbroker...etc. Also, their added integrity, knowing that they inspect each and every firearm thoroughly when a shipment arrives... rest assured your firearm will come out looking fresh. One of the many benefits of ordering thru a responsible and organized FFL such as Private Sector (and not a big box retailer such as Sportmans lol...yea I bash on Sportsman's a lot)

I was told that they were moving, however they still had the gun on order and they would contact me when it arrived and meet up with me to get the paperwork done and then deliver after the waiting period. Nothing... I talke to the owner Tom 2 months ago, he said he would check things out and get back with me the next day, crickets... I have sent several emails and left messages, nothing... Looks like I'm out my money, funny how they talked about pride, being veteran run and owned... Hummmm

After being told it would be ready at a certain time (24 hours+), when I called to ask about the status and if it was ready, I was told angrily "just come pick it up. We're not doing it anymore". I picked it up and the owner tried to give me some rant about "we're not going to rush ourselves" after withholding my property for 10 minutes. This place is a joke. I took my pistol to another local shop (way more professional and welcoming, I wont say who BUT there's a great taco spot next to it) and they were able to help me right on the spot and got it done in 20 mins with respect. Do not give this business your money, one of the worst gun stores I've ever stepped foot in.

Poor service. Gun / Hunting Counter too bad, so sad Cabela's…read more I travel constantly and have dealt with service counters all across the country, so I know the difference between good service and absolute chaos. And let me tell you--my recent experience at the hunting counter in Lacey, WA? One of the worst I've ever had. I followed every bit of instruction the staff gave at the entrance. Scanned the QR code like a good customer, waited patiently as my name crawled up the queue--15 minutes to reach position one. Position one! And then what? I stood there for another ten minutes watching an employee yapping away in a pointless conversation with a customer while completely ignoring the system that's meant to keep order. When I finally asked another staff member who was supposed to be helping the next person in the queue--me, mind you--they pointed right back at the same employee wasting everyone's time and the company's money. You've got a queue system designed to make the process efficient, and this chum treats it like background noise. It's absurd. When a manager or person "in charge" finally came out of nowhere, and reluctantly asked if I needed help, I told him my name is up and I'm still waiting. At that moment, three other employees appeared and started serving people who weren't even in the queue--effectively bypassing those of us who had followed the system. He assigned me an employee and I was finally assisted. In my experience across the country, Washington is notorious for poor recognition of customers who are standing and waiting--this encounter simply reinforced that reputation. The staff at the hunting / gun counter appear either untrained or unwilling to follow even basic service protocols. A business that invites paying customers but fails to respect their time or enforce its own queue system is doing a major disservice. If you intend to spend money and expect professional, efficient service, this location failed across the board. I wish this wasn't the case because, the Cabela's brand is not a representation of this type of service nor this type of employees vibe.

Ok ok heres your imagination participation trophy for showing up with something valuable. The ticket says I'd need $64+ to redeem it after 90 days, highlighted by a big purple-circled $16.25 "itemization of the finance charge" that feels like they just made up a number and hoped I wouldn't notice. Storage fee, doc prep, the whole menu of "because we can" charges. Meanwhile, another buyer on Pacific Ave offered $68 on the spot. $68 vs $48, and zero chance of my coin becoming their new wall mount. This isn't pawning....this is comedy hour with your assets as the punchline. Washington has rules on these fees for a reason, and the $16.25 line smells like it's doing the cha-cha around them. If you're in the olympia area and enjoy losing money with a side of creative accounting, go right ahead. Everyone else? Take it to a legit coin shop to at least get spot prices...

The owner was hands-on, and you could feel that customer service mattered. Unfortunately, things have changed. The current customer service is poor. Staff often act like they're doing you a favor by helping, rather than treating you with respect or interest. There's little salesmanship, and not much effort to understand or support customers. I personally would have bought two firearms from them in the last year, but the lack of willingness to assist pushed me elsewhere. There's also a noticeable lack of deep firearm knowledge among some staff and no clear management presence to address customer concerns. The shop now feels disorganized and disinterested in repeat business. It's disappointing to see how far it's fallen from what it used to be.
