I been buying guns here for awhile now. I have taken sisters, nephews & buddies there also that have all purchased guns or maybe rifles. I recommend this place all the time and Im pretty sure they recognize me when I go in I hope? I still go here at times and still tell people also. I still feel like they keep a eye on me when I go inside the store at times, crazy. They do have a rude look towards some costumers that I heard and dealt with personally. But still have a good selection and good stock on ammo. Try it out yourself if your in the market for a new toy. read more

A great place to shop around if you are looking for vintage/used firearms. Their new firearm inventory is not quite so robust. Staff are knowledgeable, and pricing is competitive. read more

If you want to buy a firearm, Murphy's can be a decent experience. Some of the younger employees are friendly, too. But if you want to trade a gun, it's insulting. I walked in with a $3,400 rifle and was offered $800-900 in trade because the clerk thought I was ignorant and he was hoping I was desperate for cash. When I told him I buy and sell that model regularly, that I know it's value, he responded he'd sell it for $1,125. So I thanked him for his time (he simply turned his back on me) and left. Two days later, I went to a different business and was given $2,300 in trade and treated with respect. It's obvious which of those two gun stores I'll do business with in the future. read more

Small family owned business with a great selection of new and used guns all at a fair price. They also have a small section for reloaders. This place can get slammed so sometimes it takes a minute to get help but when they do help you it's great. Helped walk me through purchasing my first lever action and some comparable rifles. Felt like a made a great decision. Also while I was there they denied a purchase to a very twitchy and paranoid person. I think they left a one star review but it had nothing to do with race. Guy was talking to himself, going off in weird tangents about how he doesn't want people to mess with him. Just typical hey maybe this guy doesn't need a gun behavior. I was happy to see them deny the sale and it will bring me back. Also to the 1 star review , I am not white and also have two sleeves of tattoos they treated me great! read more

Lots of cool firearms from old surplus woodies to the newer stuff. Under staffed,,busy! The good ones always are. Another site does reviews good. Mentioned a staff member who spotted a ..suspicious character, Refused to sell to him and he left. Staff is trained well. read more

What a selection! They have loads of guns, everything from high end staccatos to old collectible revolvers. Love the inside decor and how much it reminds me of an old western country shop! Sage was very helpful and assisted me in finding a few new pieces to add to my collection. Their prices are fair and personally I feel like I got a very decent deal which never happens at most shops. There other worker forest went above and beyond and installed the two optics I purchased onto my new pistols! Very great guys and great business! Would highly recommend stopping in and checking them out but be careful you may end up walking out with a bunch! read more

The staff and owner were very nice to work with and gave me a fair price for my father's collection. Highly recommended.

Very friendly and welcoming shop! Very knowledgeable. I will continue to give them my 2A business!

To start, Derrick is awesome. I had never filled out the background forms. He asked if I had done them before and when I said no he was more than happy to walk me through it, very thoroughly I must say. He even explained the wording on one of the questions for me when I asked him. Very smooth process and it was a pleasure to deal with him. Murphy's is my new go-to for anything I might need. read more

I have been going g to Murphys Gun Store for over 15 years and I will continue to do so. The owner and employees have always been welcoming and helpful for my and my sons needs. They provide great assistance, whether it be with finding an affordable firearm we like, help with having a firearm fixed and they have competitive prices on a large amount of inventory they carry. I would highly recommend them. read more

Best selection of guns in town, but they are hard to see in the store because of very dim lights. They need to get more bulbs in the place. Their $45 fee to transfer a gun is absurd, it should never me more than $30, but another ripoff shop wanted $75. This is just Tucson for you. read more

This is the spot for anything new-used, can't believe these boomers have the audacity to complain about dim lights or chatting with customers. Awesome store with tons of history in it. Prices are excellent, and employees are knowledgeable. 10/10 read more

I went to Murphy's to reluctantly sell my Colt 45. I was offered a fair price and this was a pleasant and hassle free experience. Highly recommended! read more

Murphy's has always been a favorite over the years. Their pricing is typically fair and the collection overall is unique. The inventory is a combination of old school and new school, so you get the best of both worlds. If you are worried about the shop being busy. I would just pick a day and time that they won't be as busy. read more

Stopped by to make a purchase but the employees were too busy chatting with customers. I ended up making a substantial purchase at Turners, who had excellent customer service. Most likely will not ever return. read more

worst customer service got denied for no reason sold them some of my old guns and they refused service and it's over priced and there racist I'm not white but a white guy denied me for not being white and having a lot of tattoos and I'm pursu a lawsuit dont waste your time or money they will judge you if your not white read more

Been a Murphy's customer over 30 years, back to the old original location. Never had anything but a great experience. Always a good selection of guns (subject to the same market issues everyone deals with) and always good prices. Have done several trades and a couple of consignments, always with very fair outcomes. Lots of great staff. They are individuals with their own personalities, but all have always been courteous and helpful. I would say that they have a bit of trouble competing with a big box or on-line when it comes to endless accessories and shooting sports-related stuff, simply because they don't have the physical space. But while I might have to look elsewhere for something specific, they are always my first stop for firearms. And, like the "old-fashioned gun shop" they are, sometimes just for the conversation. And I generally don't have to worry about knowing more than "the kid behind the counter" as often happens at the big boxes. read more

This is my favorite shop in town. They always have a great selection and are very knowledgeable. Throughout the past crazy two years they haven't price gouged on ammo and have more in stock than the big box stores. A great locally owned business that has earned several thousand dollars from me. Check them out! read more

This is a real mans gun store. Not only do they have great prices. But they give you the most for your guns. Thanks Murphy's read more

Update, Easy layaway plan,Did a layaway. All is well. Added a star.

Awesome selection of used inventory and best trade in value I've found in town. Also really fair ammo pricing and a super cool storefront.

Walked in to purchase two firearms. Walked up to a worker behind the counter and asked him a simple question, if he could show me is ar 15 style guns. Immediately acts like he's to good for you and you can't afford what they offer. Little did he know, I had already put a deposit down 3 weeks ago for another gun with them. Have never been treated with such disrespect. Im going back later today to get my deposit back. They just lost that 1500.00 sale. We were their to purchase an AR for my fiancay and a postal. Hostile environment, highly recommend not to buy from them. read more

They are too busy to care about how their store looks or how they interact with customers unless they know you. They haven't updated this place in many years. It's an old circle k building that needs a face lift. They haven't even paved the driveway. It looks sleazy and that's the last thing you want when you are plunking down lots of bucks for something as serious as a gun. I have had good and bad experiences here. There are better places to do business. read more

The only place to buy a firearm!!! Honest, fair,and reasonably priced. Very knowledgeable about all firearms in their shop.

My name is judy..i recently gav this store a not so shining review..well i need to update my review..aft going back so they knew to whom the review came from...well i talked w patrick and may hav spoke from a single visit and not their norm...denise is NOT a sales person .she was just on the sales floor..because...they were very busy that day...aft talking w patrick i told him i would update my review...THIS IS A GOOD PLACE read more

My new go to place for all my sporting needs and supplies. Great selection and great service and people

I had an FFL transfer and I made several errors and thought that I would need to have my forearm returned. The folks at Murphys worked with me and made the transfer although they were well within their rights to deny it. So kudos to them and a shout out to S Spencer for helping me out. I will make sure to shop here again. read more

Best shop in town. Highly knowledgeable staff and most diverse selection of firearms. Family owned, good people.

Years ago I spent probably tens of thousands of dollars there. Back then the sales staff were always courteous folks and knew their stuff. A few weeks ago I went in with over $1000.00 to spend on a couple of guns that they had. Myself and one other person were the only customers there. Most of the employees didn't even acknowledge the fact that I was even in the store. The one employee that even noticed that I was there was too busy looking for magazines for his buddy and gossiping about god knows who or what. Iwalked right and won't be going back. Good job guys!!! read more

Murphy's is like walking back in time for me. Its like the old gun stores I visited as a kid. Its a tiny store but there's stuff everywhere! You can't take three steps without running into something. They've got the old accessible gun racks in the middle of the store so you can actually pick up a few rifles without having to ask someone. They've got something for just about everyone. Pricey 1911's and AR's to the affordable 12 gauge for home protection. My only complaint would be the prices. Some things are fair, others are overpriced. I didn't spot any real deals, but that might be my lack of looking. Overall, I highly recommend visiting the store. read more

Murphy's gun shop is by far the best gun shop in town! I would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a gun. They have a great selection of guns both new and used. They were very knowledgeable and friendly. They helped me find the gun I was looking for. read more

Awesome and very friendly Gun shop the selection was great and ammo was slim due to the pandemic but like all shops they are getting it in a little at a time. Definitely will be back again and do more business as prices along with the great service n selection they offer it is the best gun shop around for 100 miles!!!! read more

Murphy's is losing two stars because of an experience I had today (the second time I've had it with them). I purchased a pistol in .32acp a few days ago. I'm planning on going to the range tomorrow, so I wanted to pick up a box of ammunition to run my gun. I called five stores in town to check on availability and pricing. Generally, the calls went something like this. "Hi, I'm looking for .32acp ammunition" "Yes, we've got that, it is $blah" OR "I think we've got that, let me go check.... Yes, we've got that, it is $blah." Not at Murphy's, where I guess they delight in either being obtuse or *censored* to customers that want to give them money from time to time with no rhyme or reason. Here's the conversation at Murphy's. Me: Hi, I'm looking for .32acp ammunition Clerk: Ok Me: .... Me: .... Me: So... do you guys have any? Clerk: Yep Me: .... Me: Could you maybe tell me how much it is? Clerk: Yep. Me: .... Me: So how much is it? Clerk: $17 per box of 50. What exactly did they think the purpose of my call was? To chat about how I was looking for .32acp with a clerk at a gun store, get an "OK" and then move on merrily about my day!? Particularly vexing is that this was the best price in town by a couple bucks. I was so annoyed, though, that I spent my money elsewhere. That said, Murphy's still has a great used gun selection, with some occasional gems. The customer service most of the time is downright gruff (even though I've spent thousands of dollars at their store), and is downright infuriating at times. Justin, the aforementioned younger clerk with glasses and black hair, is the only saving grace for the customer service there. read more

Claimed to be too busy to install a mag release on a Glock? 15-20 minute job max for a gunsmith who knows what they're doing, bad service and will have to look elsewhere for my firearm needs. read more

I don't know what everyone is complaining about here...my wife and I went to Murphy's a few weeks ago...for the first time. We are 100% new to sidearms by the way. Dave helped us pick out two gorgeous firearms (our first). He didn't pressure us whatsoever and we took several hours to choose. I'm sure it was obvious to him that we didn't know anything about firearms purchasing. What I liked the most was that he spent about two hours with us! If you can't tell that this is an old school place with old school attitudes, perhaps Murphy's isn't for you. I appreciated the old timey atmosphere...especially some of the ancient weapons hanging on the wall. Their pricing is beyond fair! I'd recommend Murphy's to anyone! read more

My first impression of Murphy's was that this was truly a mom and pop operation, and I felt good about giving them business which I have in the past. I noticed that it's busy all day no matter what time of the day it is. And I'm always asked If need help By the next available associate which I appreciate. They have a great selection of new and used firearms, and at reasonable prices. Their 90 day layaway policy is one of the best I've seen any fire arm store, And the reason why a few of my friends have gone to Murphy's. In my opinion they really don't have a huge selection in ammo. It just seems like they don't have the shelf space. They have always been helpful in recommending parts or equipment that's right for my guns they are very knowledgeable including Ma Murphy haha. The only negative thing I can say and it's very minor is that they can spruce up their customer service. Now customer service is not just fixing the situation with your customer, it's also in the way you present yourself and the demeanor that you present that service. Customer service should not just be cut and dry. There's got to be a little bend to it in order to make the customer happy. "My experience was after buying a rifle I asked the associate if I could get my scope mounted and bore sighted, his reply was sure for $10, And he had to think about the $10 which tells me that there is no set policy on that. Out of pure principle I refused to pay, because that should've been a free service. I don't want to sound cheap, but this service is often offered for free at any gun store or sporting good store When you buy a weapon or a scope." So far this one incident is not going to stop me from going to Murphy's again, The upside is still so big that I will continue to do business there. I like their prices, I like the inventory, I like their knowledge and there layaway policy. This is truly a real gun store. read more

First- I'm not a hunter, and I am a bit baffled by hunting trophies. However, I am an avid handgun shooter, and I am also quite a pain in the rear. They have cheerfully have put up with me for over 20 years. They are my first choice in firearms. They have what appears to be the largest selection of new and used firearms in Tucson. Since I tend to be really picky about my choices in firearms, I haven't had any repair issues (except for routine service) in years. They have treated me fairly. I will return. read more

I have been coming to Murphy's off and on for several months now, bringing all my business here and a friend or two along the way, mostly because I work in the area and it's very convenient to stop in and pick up some 22 or any other supplies I may need. Pricing on the ammo could be a little better, but that's a given considering Mom and Pop shops don't make money selling guns. My experience with this company has been somewhat positive, but most of the time neutral, per se. The portly fellow has always been very helpful and the woman who works there is a very friendly person. However, some of the others in the shop are ruining their reputation. Most of the time when I come in and ask a question they are usually very brief with me, or do you not have much information at all. It's almost as if they are irritated to see new customers or those inquisitive enthusiasts who are fairly new to the hobby. I could be wrong, but this is the impression I get on a typical stop into Murphy's. Today I decided to stop coming here. A grouchy old dude working at the front counter, who didn't even bother to say hello, was the last straw. The reason I had come in today was because I was looking for 357 magnum hollow points that I could carry with me when I go hiking. Something to either scare off or mortally wound any dangerous critters such as mountain lions. When I asked the guy if I could take a look at what ammo he had he proceeded to take out every single box of 357 on the back shelf and put them all down in front of me. When I asked him for any information about these rounds, he couldn't come up with anything intelligent besides what grain bullet each were. When I started looking at each individual box he was real quick to say "They all do the same thing" ...? Do you think I'm an idiot?! I smiled at the man, said thank you, paid for my ammunition and left without knowing what I just bought. Actually, I take that back. He told me the federal hydra shocks were very popular. Thanks guy. Not going to come back here. read more

For a shop who has been a high volume mover of Gun's for years, (especially the Vaquero), i cant believe it took me so long to get around to this store. Justin, a sales associate, helped me out with a lot of great information. Told me that the animals, which are awesome, along the walls were all shot by Murphy, who of course owns the shop. The store was filled with people, and the walls were covered in antique pistols, rifles, swords, knives, it was very intriguing. The selection borders on too much, the quality is very good, the antiquities make it more interesting, and the history and service are bar none. I will really enjoy coming back here. read more

This is the best gun shop in Tucson. They are extremely knowledgeable and the customer service is top notch. They make you feel comfortable even when asking ignorant questions. They're prices are bar none the best in Tucson and they're selection of new and used firearms is extensive. Make this your first and last stop when shopping for firearms here in the old Pueblo! read more
