The guys behind the counter are very professional, knowledgeable, and welcoming to everyone walking through the front door. I've been to smaller shops and larger ones; I'd say that there's a good chance they can steer a customer in the right direction with stock on-hand, and absolutely will order from their distributor anything they don't. There's also a selection of used (yellow tag) items for sale, as well as consignment items (green tag) for sale as well. Like most gun store owners, they're a bit wary of new customers coming through the door, but after you get to know them, they will absolutely be there for you with any advice and help to make sure you're satisfied and safe. Really appreciate having a store like this, unlike some others in Connecticut that make you feel like you're doing them a favor being a customer. No range on the premises, there are some nearby such as Wolf's (which gets my thumbs up) where you can try out before you buy.

The staff is extremely knowledgeable, eager to help you out, & they stand behind the products they sell. Despite countless other shops being much closer to me I will always make the 45+ minute drive down there, they are my go-to for any & all of my needs. I had to bring back 2 firearms on separate visits for both. On the first visit they fixed it right there on the spot. The 2nd visit they said it would be about 1-2 weeks due to their current workload-completely reasonable. That following day I got a call from them informing me it was all fixed & that I could come pick it up! Thank you to everyone down there!

Top-Tier Instruction at Defensive Shooting Academy…read more If you're looking for firearms training that combines expert level knowledge with real world approachability, look no further than Defensive Shooting Academy. Carmelo and Taisah are outstanding instructors not only are they extremely knowledgeable about firearms, ammunition, and (most importantly) safety, but they also have a natural talent for teaching. Whether you're a brand new shooter or someone with years of experience under your belt, they meet you where you are and take you further. Their teaching style is clear, engaging, and hands-on, with a focus on building both confidence and skill. And here's the thing they're not just instructors, they're good people. Down-to-earth, respectful, and genuinely passionate about what they do. In today's world, that's rare. As a 13 year Marine combat veteran, I've seen a lot and trained with some of the best and I still walked away from their classes learning new things. That says a lot. If I can learn from them, trust me, anyone can. Whether you're training for self-defense, looking to improve your marksmanship, or pursuing certifications like the CCW Instructor Course, this is the place to do it. I highly recommend Defensive Shooting Academy and fully plan on coming back for more training.
