Was referred to MMI for a rifle transfer by a friend of mine who no longer does FFL transfers. Very reasonably priced and friendly, knowledgeable employees. Transfer was smooth and fair. Was unsure of the parking situation as the store shares an ally with a bank, but not a problem. Would suggest owner put a sign out letting customers (especially new customers) know where it's okay to park, other than the ally or the bank parking lot, when it's busy. Overall, I recommend and will be back for sure for future business. I recommend MMI and will be back for future business. read more

If you are tired of the arrogant, self righteous used car salesmen at a nearby "MEGA" firearms store, then this is the place for you. The owner and employees are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The selection is limited, but sufficient, and they will order anything you want and get it in quickly. The pricing is very good, but just keep in mind that taxes and background check fees are included when comparing with other shops where you have to pay these over and above the posted prices. I recently traded in a shotgun of my son's, and was given a very fair price in trade for a new shotgun. Quite frankly, this is the only gun store I need anymore. I won't be going anywhere else. These guys are the real deal and know what they are talking about. They treat customers right, which is why I will be back again and again. read more

MMI Guns - My sweet new MMI sticker looks awesome on my reloading bench! - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Minooka, Illinois

First let me say this is a great gun store. First let's address Megan P's issue with parking. The issue she is referring to was actually a bank customer, not an MMI customer. There are no known incidents of a gun store customer yelling at anyone. Come on Karen, get a life. As for Brian, the owner, being rude, that is a perception you may get if you are calling trying to get ammo or primers every day during a shortage. He is a knowledgeable straightforward business person dealing with very controversial products. Every day someone is trying to take away our rights to own firearms and his living. Trying to keep guns and ammo in stock now is a never ending battle. I highly recommend you stop by the store and talk to them in person if you are looking for a firearm. Make your own conclusions as we did. read more

We first found out about this place while shopping at a larger local Chain store. Some guy randomly told us about it while we were shopping for some handguns. I looked them up and they seemed pretty new. There wasn't much information about them but we decided to register with MMI for the CCW training. Well let me just say, if you haven't taken your CCW class yet and are looking for a place, You MUST register with them. The class was a blast. Unlike most classes you will NOT fall asleep you will be engaged from start to finish! The price is very affordable through MMI and did I mention Brian is a very knowledgeable and great instructor. Almost forgot to mention, the Range portion of this class is OUTDOORS. I loved that!!! This place is about 35 minutes from where we live, but was and is definitely worth the drive. We also purchased a couple of handguns from MMI and by far, hands down they have THE BEST PRICES I have seen! The prices are marked on each gun and that is OUT THE DOOR PRICING!!! The staff is amazing. They treat every one equally be it, male, female, or even ethnic (and I say that because most of the reviews I read people voice that the smaller shops are "racist rednecks" or discriminate against females, no offense to anyone!!) Brian is great to work with and talk to as well as the other gentleman that work with him. They are just a bunch of super friendly guys that are great to chat with. If you have any questions about any thing don't be afraid to ask Brian, like I mentioned before he is very knowledgeable and is super patient. My husband and I drive him crazy every time we stop by. They make everyone feel like friends and family be it your first time there or 20th time there. All in all this is hands down the best gun shop I have ever been to when it comes to Customer Service and Prices. Don't be alarmed by the small size of the shop. They can order you something if you don't see it on the shelf and you will get it for a great price! *WILL POST SOME PICS WHEN WE GO BACK NEXT WEEK* read more

See all

Brian's team was able to get me a great price on a savage a17 and had the correct scope for my needs. His team had it bore sighted and ready to go for Christmas! Great service! I always by my firearms here. Out the door pricing that is competitive and honest advice. read more

I live nearby to this store and have no problems with the owners, but if they had places for their customers to park instead of blocking the alley we use to park in our driveway, I'd be a much happier neighbor. I constantly have men in huge trucks blocking the alley and have been sworn at multiple times by them just for trying to park at my house. read more

After trying to work with other dealers, I found MMI through an advertisement in the local paper. Brian had exactly what I wanted (Glock 19/Gen4) at a great price. I was impressed because Brian was helpful and friendly. Let's face it, there are gun stores out there who treat the ladies differently, and not in a good way. Brian however, treated me with courtesy and respect. Will definitely do business here again. read more

I heard about MMI through a friend who was raving about the place, so I had some pretty high expectations going in. I wasn't disappointed. In fact, since it's a new shop that's still growing, I can only imagine this place will get better and better with time. Please note that it's located on the side of the Edward Jones Financial Office (Orange Door on the left side of Edward Jones). After researching the firearm I wanted (BodyGuard 380 w/CT), I shopped around. MegaSports, Gander Mountain, Midwest, and Cabela's all had it priced $500-530 out the door (taxes and paperwork included). I called Brian and he got me an amazing price of $445 out the door. He doesn't appear to gouge on paperwork or add on miscellaneous fees like some other places. I was able to order the firearm via email and submit my FOID card electronically so he could process the background check. This was really nice because I don't live near the shop and it was nice to not have to make a trip just to show him a FOID card. So, the process of haggling and purchasing was one of the most painless I've ever had at any store. It was literally a phone call, an email, and then go pick it up when he called. And again, I couldn't be any happier about the price/value. So, the only tiny thing I could call a "negative" isn't really even a negative. MMI is a new shop. It's been open for 3 months at the time of this review, so his ammo and accessories stock was a bit low. I'm sure as the business grows, his stock will increase considerably. So, don't go in expecting a wide selection of accessories; HOWEVER, if you know the exact holster you want or what type of special ammo you wanted, he might be able to get it for you during your waiting period instead of you running around piece-mealing a purchase. In the end, this is great shop. The owner is really nice, does great on prices, really knows his stuff, and I just can't find a single bad thing to say about the place (and I generally ALWAYS have something bad to say). So, if you're in the market for firearms, do your research, but make sure you give MMI a call before you pull the trigger on a purchase elsewhere. read more

I basically found MMI while searching for a FFL dealer from an online gun store. When I got to MMI to pick up my purchase I inquired about obtaining a CCW permit and Brian ( the owner ) walk me through the process! Let me tell you, taking the 16 hour course through MMI and with Brian's instruction, I have learned a ton information, the class was never dull,( and there is a lot of content to cover ) and qualifying outdoors was a blast!! (Pun intended). MMI is now my source for weapon purchases, ammo, they have gunsmith services, and KNOWLEDGE which you can't always find in the "big" stores!! If your looking to purchase a weapon anytime soon, or want to inquire about a CCW permit, or just need advise, I highly recommend MMI!! They are phenomenal!!! read more

Today was my first experience with MMI Guns, and I have to say it was excellent!!! Brian is super knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond to help the customers. If your in the market for a firearm, or good conversation stop in!!!!!! read more

MMI Guns - Great Place, Great People! - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Minooka, Illinois

I noticed the phrase "The owner is a bad-ass." I think often expertise and confidence are often misconstrued as this. For my own part, I solely goto MMI for that expertise and direct communication. When it comes to guns, gun law and quality, I do not wanna be wooed, but accurately informed. This is my place to go-to place for guns and ammo. read more

MMI Guns is an a great place to do business. Brian is her knowledgeable about guns and very easy to work with. I took his CC class and he was very entertaining and very fun to listen to. He's pretty cut and dry and to the point which is the way I like people to be. The class tells you everything you need to know and is the most affordable I found. Was it easy no, but was it hard absolutely not. Show up listen learn and we had a lot of questions and my class and Brian knew the answer to everything. Believe me there were some pretty off the wall questions. Great teacher and a pretty alright guy. Fast forward 6 months and I was in the market for a new gun I called Brian yo told him what I wanted. He was the ONLY gun shop that didn't put me on hold and actually said I don't have one but I will find one wait one second. He stayed on the line with me and said yup I got one and quoted me a price. I ran over the features I wanted with the gun and the one that he found was more expensive than the one I found online. I told him that and he said absolutely order that gun and ship it to me. So that's what I did and 2 weeks later I went and picked it up. Awesome service Awesome staff Awesome place to look/ buy guns Owner is a straight up and to the point guy something I really appreciate. Highly recommend MMI read more

I posted this same review on their Facebook page and got a reply from the owner but before i was able to respond to them they blocked me from their page since i wrote a bad review! Original facebook review; Definitely didn't expect to walk in and see the owner mute the business phone and belittle the gentlemen on the other end because he wasn't smart enough to build his own firearm. After they hung up I was asked " You don't have a Yelp account do you?" (I do now!) I built my own rifle as well and at that point felt uncomfortable to even ask a question about the rifle i brought in, I should've walked out. I didn't and set myself up to be told "Are you an armorer?", "and a few other arrogant remarks. I was willing to pay whatever amount to fix my rifle after that I'll look elsewhere. read more

This is the place to go if you are looking to buy a gun. They are extremely knowledgeable and are happy to help you. As someone who never shot a gun I am first-time gun owner and am very happy happy they took the time to find out what I am comfortable with. Brian, the owner, is always willing to answer questions and make sure you are satisfied. Thanks for helping me with my purchase and making me feel comfortable. read more

Very good people at mmi. Have had multiple guns transferred here. The staff is friendly (even if Im rude and crabby they put up with me) I would t go anywhere else to get my guns transferred. Thanks Brian and crew!!! read more

Great Place, Great Guys, The owner Brian will have you cracking up with laughter if you share the same anything goes sense of humor we have. Follow him on Facebook to watch his stuff had a rant about a week ago that I thought was soo funny I think he should turn it into a weekly event rant Wednesday with Brian!!! Keep up the good work guys, and Brian remember us when your Facebook famous!!!!! read more

My wife and I have used Them for over two year's. as our preferred FFL dealer. We have never had an issue with Brian or any one else that works there. I dont believe half these reviews are real read more

Brian was awesome! He accommodated a group of us to teach us ladies about gun safety and the proper use of a firearm! He was patient answered all the questions we had and have us as much shooting time as we wanted. He even brought like 20 different handguns for us to try and get the feel for what might be better for each person! I am so grateful for his hospitality we got way more than we paid for and will definitely tell everyone to go there! He made me more confident, more knowledgeable and definitely less fearful of handling a firearm in the future! His friends Tony and Steve were great at giving us one on one instruction as well! I don't care where you are it's worth the drive! Thanks again Brian! read more

I recently had an issue with my foid card. Brian, the Owner, went above and beyond to get my issue resolved. Brian and the entire MMI staff are educated on Illinois laws and the merchandise they sell. I highly recommend purchasing from MMI. read more

Very happy with my first visit and purchase. Great deals on ammo, very friendly service. I visit gun stores with my wife frequently and many OTHER stores don't offer what I'd consider proper service when the customer is female. I was happy to see how two separate female customers (father with daughter and an adult couple where the primary customer was the woman) where treated. Many shops in the area (we've been to a lot) just don't treat female customers very well. MMI clearly makes sure everyone is welcome. read more

Great store, small business atmosphere with knowledgeable staff they always have what I'm looking for or can get it quickly with very affordable prices read more

MMI provided the worst customer service experience I ever had in my entire adult life. I took a 1911 to MMI to repair a stripped screw in the rear sight. I never thought that this would be a big deal for any competent gunsmith to repair, turns out I was very wrong. MMI had my firearm for 4 months, I would call there about every two weeks to inquire about it and was given nothing but the runaround. They told me they could not find a replacement rear sight screw, the screw was the hurdle. Every time I called I heard a new excuse: "The gunsmith would call me", when he didn't I was told "He forgets", "been busy", "He's sick", "its hunting season"," the firearm is no longer made". After about three months of this nonsense, I got verbally upset with Brian on the phone and it wasn't until this they actually moved forward with the repair. There expert fix was to replace the sight with a new one and re-tap the hole. Finally, after four months the repair was complete, paid $125 and picked up the gun. Unfortunately, I did not immediately test fire the firearm. I did not get to test fire the firearm for about 4 months after picking it up. After about 30 or 40 rounds the screw came out of the rear sight because it was never properly repaired. I called MMI and they said to bring it back. After bringing back to MMI thinking that they would stand behind there work, only to be stuck in this hellacious infinitive loop of terrible customer service again. They never said that the gun could not be fixed, or it was beyond there capabilities. Long story short, I was charged another $60 for nothing, and wasted another 5 months with these clowns. I wanted to write this review about a month ago but decided to take the gun to another shop just to determine if it was truly non-fixable and to be objective. After doing due diligence and getting personal recommendations instead of some reviews from friends and family on a Facebook page as MMI has. I found Great Guns Armory and took it there. Two weeks later Paul repaired the gun by re-taping the sight hole and inserting a bushing into the hole that he drilled and re-tapped for the sight screw. Told me I should not have an issue but if I did his repair had an unlimited warranty. I was pleased with his low cost, less than half of what MMI raped me. MMI is a part-time very amateurish shop. In hindsight, I did see many red flags in my dealing with them that I mistakenly overlooked. Don't make the same mistake as me. read more

Excellent customer service. Great out the door prices. Extremely helpful and friendly. Will continue to shop here for all my gun needs.

I had them build a custom 1911, took six to eight months, but was well worth it. Couldn't be happier, you can't buy fit and finish off the shelf at any cost. read more

well they ordered the gun i wanted but were just ignorant when i called to check up on my order. last day of the order to come in & call at 2:30 & they just kept repeating we'll call when it comes in. they did 30 mins b4 they closed. i'll just take my business somewhere else since they can't bother to answer a question. read more

I found out about MMI while doing an online search for a local gun shop. Prices are AMAZING. Brian was very helpful with my purchase. Being prior military, my exposure to handguns was limited to Colt 1911 and Beretta 92fs. Purchased M&P 40 full size and 40c. Initially had questions about safties on the handguns. Brian answered all my questions. He and his staff are amazing. This is my go to shop for everything I need for my handguns. I love supporting local businesses and these guys are top notch! read more

I purchased a AR-15, the custom built type from mmi. The rifle never functioned properly it would short stroke rounds and jammed, I brought it back for repairs but the problem continued. The rifle only worked after I took it to the gunsmith at Maxon who was able to properly align the gas block. read more

Brian was excellent to work with. I ordered some night sights for my Glock. He placed an order, got them very quickly. Everyone is very friendly at MMI. I would highly recommend them!! read more

I was referred to mmi after my inlaws had all made purchases there and had good things to say about it. I had a good experience the first time i walked into mmi after just receiving my foid card. I am not very knowledgeable but the old guy there(sorry no disrespect but i did not get his name.) was extremely helpful. I did notice there stock was low on some common firearms. Xds 9s and shield 9s and 9s in general were non existant. I did not purchase there because they did not have what i wanted but instead went over to the so called "evil empire" mega sport. I purchased a gun that day at a great price and friendly helpful service. Now 3 weeks go by and i am ready to buy a shield 9. So i head over to mmi hoping they had it in stock. They still did not or any xds9 or ruger lc9s or anything. I got to hold a shield that they were waiting for someone to pick up. while looking at it i was asking the guy some questions about it(not the same old guy as before but a different guy maybe 40s. Not the owner i believe.) i was told " if i already new the answer to if it had a mag release safety why the hell would i ask". Well i didnt know untill while i was asking you the question i flipped the gun over and read it on the side. Dont shame your customer knucklehead. I still put the deposit down on the gun to order it but they werent sure at all how long it was going to take to get it. Fine. I went home emailed sevin sigma arms in manhattan on monday. He said he had it and i could pick it up on friday and it was $20 cheaper. Done. Went back to mmi tuesday And pulled my deposit. He didnt bother to ask why i pulled the deposit. I wanted a reason to do business with mmi because the referral and being local and small shop but one comment by one guy pissed me off and now i wasnt willing to wait for there "backordered gun" that everyone else has. I would still go in and deal with the old man or the guy with the beard whom i believe is the owner. If i want somebody to talk to me like shit i can get that for free one of my buddies. When im a paying customer you dont get that rite! read more
