I was introduced to Skagit Arms by my partner's brother who is a law enforcement officer with the…read moreState of Washington. High praise for the store. I'm a bit shocked by the negative reviews, which -- frankly -- seem to come more from uninitiated people or lunatics who are afraid of inanimate objects. The selection of firearms is exceptional. Service is superlative. What I find very satisfying is that, unlike the sporting goods giants such as Sportsman's Warehouse where the people behind the counter are mere sales clerks, the people who work here are not only experienced, but they know their products very well. I began shooting 57 years ago in U.S. Air Force Basic Training, in one of the last groups that did marksmanship training during the Vietnam War; not only did I qualify for rifle, but my job at a SAC Command Post required that I qualify for pistol as well, shooting the Colt combat masterpiece, the 1911 Series 70. I've been teaching for about 46 years and have had certification as a pistol and rifle instructor. I've been trained in a number of military schools and been to three marksmanship academies that are the most highly rated in the U.S. Granted, I don't know everything about firearms -- but I know almost immediately when someone knows what they're talking about. What's more, I'm a facilitator and instructor who is an end-user of industrial psychology... and can smell BRAVO SIERRA readily... as noted on quite a few of the reviews posted for Skagit Arms. Not one of those I talked with tried to snow me about firearms, were rude, or were anything but polite and pleasant to talk with. I saw one "customer" asking about pistols "sweep" the store and its customers with a pistol -- a definite safety violation and no-no -- until the salesman stopped them almost immediately. Thankfully, the salesman didn't offer any other firearms to the individual who left in a huff. (I've been a Range Safety Officer for almost 9 years, and if this kid knew anything at all about firearm safety, I'll eat my hat. Yours, too.) And, if I may add, I think there were a number of individuals whom I believe may have been in the store to cause trouble -- including a number whose IDs failed to pass muster at the door. I'm NOT a Washington resident, but I have a Conceal Carry certificate from the State of Washington (which I've had since the 1970s): I usually show the certificate before handling a weapon. I closely watched every salesman in the store handle weapons, and they were all very well-trained, safety-conscious, and professional when it involved handling firearms. The store has an excellent selection and I will do some research on prices, quality, and track-record of the few firearms I'm interested in purchasing, as well as obtaining the FFL information from my local (Arizona) proprietor for transfer. Last of all, I appreciate the discount offered to this veteran. Well done, Skagit Arms.

Customer service is pretty much nonexistent. Really rude…read moreworkers. It's like they really don't want to make a sale. They sound really arrogant. And they seem to hate it when we ask if we can see a firearm in the case. They just huddle up together talking story and laughing and never acknowledge and greet us. If it weren't for their assortment of ammo I wouldn't be shopping here. But after today I'll take my business elsewhere. Not worth your time and money I can guarantee it!

Worst experience ever: visited the store last week to purchase items that were in the sales flyer…read more Two of the items weren't even on the shelf, of the three items I purchased, two had the wrong price in the system (which the employee had to have help fixing), and the employees had no idea where to find things. When I was sent to pickup, no one even appeared to help me. A visit that should have taken me 15-20 minutes in/out took 50! Will never go to this store again. Ever!

Good products but the worst customer service. No one answers phone. No one at pickup bay. 50% of…read morethe time there is no one to load orders or even talk too.

I write this on behalf of my husband and the situation he has had with this business. We were next…read moredoor at the shooting range looking at guns and saw that he could order ammo through this company. He did so on his phone trying to set it up for pick up. He clicked on any boxes required but once he was done paying for it, it charged him approximately $22.00 for mailing it to us. (We are only 6 or so miles from the business.) He tried calling the company and the phone rang several times and then hung up. We asked the gentleman at the shooting range and he told my husband to e-mail them to take care of the problem. My husband did so once we got home. This morning he finally got them on the phone. They had not looked at their e-mails (claim they are too busy) and so we are out the extra money for shipping. Not even an attempt to make a local patron happy. Word of mouth will most undoubtedly happen from this situation and he has a lot of friends that shoot.

That only took just about 3 weeks from the first order I tried to place and told them their cart was glitching on the phone.

This business is very friendly to women and they offer many women only classes. I did not see any "tacti-cool" types in there. There were just regular people exercising their constitutional right to bear arms. Prices are reasonable. Their website explains it all. This is a very nice place to come shoot.
