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

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

This place has been amazing! We had a few rifles and hand guns we inherited and did not need they took the time to make sure we understood the process of selling the guns and made it as stress free as possible. Patrick is amazing, if I ever need to sell or buy guns in the future they will be first to get my business. read more

Murphy's has some of the best stock in Tucson, as well as great prices on used guns. They've got an amazing selection of both rifles and handguns, and their prices have made me put up with some less than ideal behavior. I've had some great experiences at Murphy's, and some not so much. I've purchased a few thousand dollars worth of guns and ammo there over the years, and have found that the clerks can be helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly, or they can be intentionally obtuse. I'll give you one experience of both, and let you decide for themselves. The first good experience I had there was while looking at pump action shotguns with my younger brother. We ran into an employee by the name of Tom who really knew that area of the firearms business. We asked a ton of questions, and he showed us a bunch of models, and based on what we wanted he led us to the tried and true Remington 870. I had a slightly negative experience when looking for a pocket gun for concealed carry. When I got the attention of a sales clerk, I asked a whole ton of questions, and the clerk deflected letting me know that I wanted a full sized Government 1911 in 45ACP. "I'd like something easy for CCW now that we're a constitutional carry state". "Take a look here at this Sig Scorpion 1911" "What about that Kel-Tec PF9 or Ruger LC9?" "You should look at this commander's model 1911." In summary, great retail store, great selection, and great customer service if you can find the right employee. read more

Patrick, is very knowledgeable and helpful. Today was my first visit here. I will always use this store and drive out of my way to do it!! Thank you Patrick. read more

Went in last week to purchase my first gun. I've been to many gun shops in town because my son drags me into them, and in general, the guys that work at these places are not customer service guys, they are gun guys, and many with overinflated egos, especially nowadays, with gun sales being so high. I got lucky with my salesman at Murphy's. I wish I would have caught his name, because he was so helpful and made it a great experience. I went back yesterday to pick up ammo for the range, and saw my buddy again, and felt welcomed back. Then, I went to Marksman on 29th and was treated like dog shit. Customer service does make a difference, in every industry. I was happy to spend over $700 at Murphy's and felt sick to my stomach after spending $70 at Marksman. read more

Not too bad of a Gun store. Ammo of certain Calibers are pretty cheap. the guns are fairly priced. However the Service could be better, A few workers are quite unfriendly and a little rude. I'll surly do more business when it comes to ammo. Hopefully Attitudes there change and are more friendly. read more

Went to Murphy's to purchase my first firearm from a dealer and I had a great experience. I was nervous about going because many other gunshops had treated me wrongly perhaps because of my race and my age (early 20's) but everyone there was really respectful and knowledgeable and the service was pretty fast considering the virus situation and panic buying. Overall I was extremely happy with Murphy's Guns and will continue to shop there from now on. I should've known immediately that this shop was good because it was visited by Hickok45. read more

Definitely a 'mom and pop' feel to this store. Lots of really cool things to gawk at. I can spend all afternoon in here just appreciating the variety of firearms to look at. I found a used Bianhci holster for my S&W 686 2.5 inch pistol for just $20. Great find! I've bought four firearms from Murphy's and plan to continue to give them business. read more

Highly knowledgeable staff, a fantastic selection of guns and great prices. Very hard to beat!

Working in law enforcement I deal with many gun shops and went to Murphys today to trade my Glock 22 all tricked out with tons of extras for a 4th Generation Glock and these people were the most unproffesional shop I have been in. First off the owner was in the back cursing out an employee so loud the customers heard everything. Then my like new Glock they say not interested in taking in on trade??? Only shop I went to that said that. Had $5,000 cash in my pocket to also buy a new AR and a HK. These people lost a first time customer who will share this experience with all my fellow boys in blue!!! Good job Murf. read more

To Start, service was poor i called in advance in regards to selling my gun and the guy on the phone said he could give me $350. i got there let them know i was there to sell a gun one gentleman was nice an notified another employee an the other wasn't so nice he argued and snapped at the other. Just a little unprofessional in my opinion read more

I bought a used gun from them, my knowledge of guns is weak. But I was told I have a 30 day warranty to bring it back. When I finally got to checking out the gun I found there is a serious problem with the safety. I called to inquire about getting a refund but they said no. They said they will try to fix it first then decide if I can get a refund! That is not a warranty! They are crocked in their business dealings. I bought the gun 3days ago. read more

Meh, Ive experienced better. This place is alright. they have a ton of guns. But, they are also over priced (for their used guns). I also see prices that are consistently more expensive. read more

One of the few, if not the only, gun shop where you can trade or sell. I don't know how pawn shops compare though but this place is dedicated & has a wide selection. The layout isn't fancy but it shows you they mean business. One employee in particular gave me a nice recommendation for a Springfield XDs they had for a possible trade. I didn't take the deal though because i already paid too much for this gun. Also I don't know if that gun was recalled; i'd have to check next time i go. One of the older-more experienced employees here discovered that my newly bought Kahr P45 had deep-unusual cracks inside the barrel. Thank God, no wonder it was jamming easily. & thank God it came with a limited manufacturer warranty. i sent it to the manufacturer free of charge, they replaced the barrel & guide rod and test fired 36 rounds. I got it back & i haven't had to pay. But i haven't had the chance to go shooting again but ill try to keep my posts updated. The reason why i didn't 5 stars is because there's stuffed animals & furs hanging on the walls. I'm not fond of the hunting of cougars, wolves, bears, or coyote. Hunt deer or hog but leave the endangered-predators alone. That wall-space can be used to hang guns instead. read more

Full disclosure--this review is from someone who doesn't hunt, or even eat meat, save for seafood. I target shoot and reload enthusiastically, but that is it. This gunsmith reminds me of what I was used to seeing in the foothills of the Adirondacks back in NY. It's set up like someone's hobby more than someone's shop. And that is not a bad thing. The selection is incredible, both new and used. They have a better selection of revolvers than any other store I have gone to in Tucson. And the prices are fair. If you are looking for a Ruger revolver, you have to visit this place. Ammo selection is pretty good. If they don't have the type or caliber you like, ask, because while some of the ammo is on the floor for browsing, others are stored behind the counter. I'm not sure why this is, but whatever. Price for ammo may be a little steep, but then again, I guess maybe it's just gone up a lot over the last couple years. Stock is also maintained on reloading materials and tools. As stated by the other reviewer, the walls are covered in trophies and antique firearms, as well as the occasional blade, thrown in for good measure. This are fun to look through. There's also some antique revolvers (and likely rifles) for sale as well. The store seems to always be doing a great amount of business. The place has always been packed when I have been in there. Still though, the staff has been helpful, and really taken time to answer my questions. I was a little leery at first because so many of the staff just look so young. But they really do seem to know their stuff. And while it will likely take you showing the initiative to start the dialog, once they know you have questions, they are more than helpful and patient. The biggest issue I have with the place is parking--for the amount of business that they seem to do, the lot is always very full. Fortunately, you can park along Country Club if you need to. read more

We received excellent service from Justin (younger guy with glasses) who helped point us in the right direction for what we wanted. He seemed very knowledgable and the prices were on par or better than the warehouse stores in town. Only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that it's a small store and hard to move around (too many people packed in there) and parking is difficult due to the small parking lot. read more

I'm not a "Looker", I'm a buyer. I knew what I wanted (Ruger Charger .22), they had it and the transaction was smooth, the price was right and the Customer Service was great! I'm going back soon look at a Beretta 92FS ......... read more

Well to keep with the others, I too am not a hunter but that doesn't stop me from enjoying guns or murphy's. All the guns I own (that I have bought my self) are from here. They have all kinds of ammo even the .32 I need for my hand-me-down walther ppk (yeah James bond's gun) read more

Came here looking for a gun I could conceal for personal defense and I am glad I choose this shop. I walked in and they showed me their selection( which was pretty extensive), and explained the features of all the ones I was interested in. They answered all my questions and walked me around the store picking out all the supplies I asked for. I walked in nervous that it was not going to work out, or I would be ripped off, which it was the complete opposite. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a gun or suppplies, great experience. read more

Me and my boy went in there and they treated us just great. Dave took his time with us and helped my son choose a great first rifle, a sweet little .22. We put a nice one on lay a way for me . It's nice to find a place that's real in this non personal world. read more

These guys rock. A true Arizona gun shop. Those who complain out the customer service are almost rlght, but if you strike up a conversation first they will set you up. I couldn't reccemend anyone more for advice and stock read more

Probably one of the better gun stores in town to shop at, I have not bought anything new here not much/no selection from Beretta and its sister companies like Sako or Benelli for long guns. Did buy a preowned Benelli which they had at a very very fair price and I am more than happy with it. Prices are very fair on everything from firearms, scope mounting to gunsmithing services compared to other store such as 2nd amendment but just like any gun shop the ammo is obviously priced higher than online but thats pretty much a given. The staff are very friendly, and I have yet to be treated rudely by any of the staff members. Patrick is the only gunsmith in Tucson I trust to handle and work on my firearms and it makes sense that he is backed up because his work is exceptional. read more

I'm from out of town and I was looking for a decent firearms store in Tucson. I found this place on Yelp so I figured that I'll give it a try. The parking lot is pretty tiny and going inside is a little weird. The lighting is pretty dim and they have plenty of rifles and pistols. Looking at the ammo, it was over priced. Salesman asked if I needed help, just told them I was looking for a Judge, but I couldn't buy since I was out of town. I guess it's an "ok" gun shop. Could be a little larger and spread out, everything is crammed inside. read more

I went to murphys today to trade in a lever action rifle i bought from them two months ago. I explained that i wanted to trade it for something else that i would shoot more often. The rude owner named murf took the gun in the back to test fire it, he came back out and said he wasn't intrested in it. Makes me wonder if he saw somthing with that rifle that i didn't when i bought it from him. Really bad service. Keep in mind that rifle was the 6th gun I've bought from him and it was definitely the last. If you want to buy a gun, go anywhere but murphys read more

I have been frequenting Murphy's regularly for a number of years. I have both purchased guns from this business and had occasion to use their gunsmithing services. I cannot speak highly enough of this company. their prices are reasonable and their service is immpecable. I have always had a good experience with them in all my transactions and recommend them as the BEST gun store in the city of Tucson. read more

Bought many firearms from this place over many years, the prices are in line, are in fine shape and the guys behind the counter know their stuff and if not sure will find out fast.on that remark, never been there if they were unsure, always willing to help. Feel at home when I get to visit. Thanks to all of you, now Murph, can I borrow some of my money back ? Also when are you going to accept Dinars ? Captain Wm Sullivan read more

Unfortunately, several members of the staff is very unfriendly. They send me a vibe as" you need me, I can treat you any way I want, I don't need your bushiness. There is also an employee, you can't miss him. He wears a colorful hat. They really need to get him out of the publics eye. Worst service, I heard him pissed off because he had to stop what he was doing to get the phone. Needless to say the person on the other end of the line received the worst possible customer service ever. "I hope it was not you" i think their mission statement is, If you don't like being treated like crap, go somewhere else. Needless to say, I have. read more

I recently ordered some AR-15 parts and was looking for a shop to do an FFL transfer and saw these guys on the list. I went in, after a few minutes I found a clerk willing to talk to me and he was very rude. I get that some of the information on the internet may be wrong, but he was very rude and condescending to me when telling me that they don't do that. He made me feel like an idiot for talking to him and I will certainly not be back and will be telling my friends as well. read more

Maybe they have a large selection, but I refuse to shop at an extremely rude business .Don't know if it's I am a women or that is just their MO. Waited my turn asked what the tickets on the guns meant (different colors), was answered abruptly as if I was bothering the salesman. Then he just walked away. No can I help you, what are you looking for ? Guess if I was not a" good ole boy"I was not worth his time. Hello, women buy handguns. There are many other shops around town where they will answer questions and be pleased to have your business . I will not be returning here. read more

My experience at Murphy's was not pleasant and I wont be back forsure. I was suprising my husband by taking his gun off layaway they were very rude and not helpful, I had some questions and they were put out because I know nothing about guns. I promise my husband will not be making any purchases there. read more

Certainly some of the rudest employees I've encountered. If they aren't barking at customers, its because they're bickering with each other. Unfortunately they are one of the few gunshots in town, so I do have to go there occasionally, but I try to keep it as a last resort... read more

These guys have been great! I bought my first handgun, a ruger lc9 talo here and just recieved my special order purple ruger sr 22. They went over the breakdown and features,answered all my questions, and just super helpful without being overbearing. And best of all, they don't treat a woman like an idiot! I have been to many stores that said " sweetie" and " where's your husband" when I shop. Not here, I felt like a shooter! And the prices were great! They will get all of my business! read more

Since the the early 90's. Murphys has been my go to for all my interests. From black powder, smokeless powder, and rim fire to center fire. All calibers and actions. The only place I've found where a female can feel comfortable without being judged. Love the staff. Can't say enough. read more

Bought several guns from Murphy's. They have a nice selection of both new and used guns, reasonable prices, knowledgeable staff and I always felt welcomed. The past six weeks I bought three guns, one used and two new, but the last new gun (and probably my last from Murphy's) just didn't fit my hand. I took it home and realized that it was just not for me so the next morning I returned the gun and traded up to a more expensive gun from a different manufacturer. They hit me with a 20% restocking fee to return the gun in perfect shape, all I did was hold in my hand. I know the invoice states a 20% restocking fee but I returned the gun within 24 hours. I begged my case that this was the third gun within six weeks but the owner was interested. Will probably NOT buy my next gun from them. read more

Been there a few times. Always treated well. Sold a handgun through consignment with them and was happy with the result. I've recommended the store to others and will go back when in the area. read more

Stoped by Murphys for the first time many friends recommending it. It was really busy. The sales staff were all friendly. Got asked if I needed anything about three times in the 15 minutes I as there. Had good quick conversation about pistol calibers. Staff was knowledgeable and very helpful. read more
