Well equipped for a small town gun store with lots of guns, ammo, cleaning products, holsters etc, but not on optics. Staff seem moderately informed on products with the occasional, "I'll be right back let me talk to the owner" deal. Prices on the other hand are sky high, yes you might find a deal of a gem here or there on used guns, but the new gun prices are not very competitive, I ask if they price match items, they said "yes but only locally", with that being said, I've yet to see another gun store in this town, so that tells you something. So overall a good selection but if your looking for a deal on ammo or guns look elsewhere, unless you just want to support your local gun store.

Great gun store, and their auctions are very well run. A good selection of guns and ammo for a town the size of Payson.

I purchased a Taurus GX4 from Pawn Palace. I went home to check the Taurus website for warranty…read moreinformation. The Taurus website asked me to provide the serial number. I was then informed that the firearm has been on recall since 2023. I now have to ship the gun back to Taurus and wait 3-6 weeks to get my weapon back. I also have to pay the shipping and wait to be reimbursed for that, too. I called Pawn Palace to inform them that they sold me a firearm on recall without informing the buyer. I was told by the owner that, "The gun was used." He then stated that "we sell guns on recall all the time." He then said it was an "optional recall. Just send it back to Taurus." How about Pawn Palace send it back for me? They sold me the defective gun. "Optional Recall"? On a handgun! It's not a weed eater. You REALLY don't want to be walking around with a defective GUN!! People could get hurt. It was easy to find that the gun has been on recall for two years. To sell me the gun without informing me that the gun was on recall is just shady business. The majority of the staff at Pawn Palace are wonderful people. The gentleman that I assume is the owner is not a very nice man. He looks like the father from "The People Under The Stairs". I don't mean that as an insult, it's just the best way I can describe him. I have purchased two firearms at Pawn Palace. I have always redeemed my Pawn tickets. The business has profited from my visits and I am always respectful. The owner seems to detest me. He acts like he's disgusted by me. He looks at me like he'd almost rather throw me out of the store than take my money. I have no idea WHY! I tolerated it because Pawn Palace is the town of Cottonwood. I put up with it long enough. I have to make one more visit to Pawn Palace to retrieve some belongings, but that will be the last time.

I use Pawn Palace exclusively for my transfers. Not only are they efficient and effective, they…read moreare also the best price around for FFL transfers. I have never purchased a firearm directly from them. They have an "ok" selection. I feel like their selection of pawn products far outweighs their firearms selection (as it should be since they are a pawn shop). I usually walk around and check their prices of pawn merchandise while waiting on them to finish my transfer paperwork and for the most part I feel like their prices are decent. But as with all used items; they are only worth what someone is willing to pay, so the prices are subjective and I don't have an opinion on them one way or another. The customer service is always great. The owner and employees are always attentive and when they are not super busy I am always greeted promptly upon entering. It's nice that they have situational awareness of who is in their store since they sell firearms and ammunition. I will continually use them for all of my FFL transfer needs, and in the event that they ever have anything on their shelf that I am interested in, I would not hesitate to purchase it.

Any time you are a large scale store, you're going to have people complaining. I've bought several…read moreguns from Sportsman's, and I have always had a fantastic experience. Sure, they get busy but that's because they are doing something right. If you go on a Saturday, you should expect more people. The prices are very competitive and they always take their time with you. If you want great prices on quality ammo, these guys have that too.

I rarely write reviews, but my experience purchasing my first firearm at Sportsman's Warehouse left…read moreme compelled to share what happened. After about a year of researching and shopping around, I purchased a Ruger 9mm handgun. As a first-time firearm buyer, I expected the employees handling the sale to be knowledgeable, attentive, and careful, especially when recommending ammunition. Unfortunately, I learned more from other customers in the store, particularly one helpful gentleman, than I did from the staff. The most concerning part of the experience became apparent after I brought my purchase home. Along with the firearm, I bought ammunition recommended by the salesperson. Trusting that recommendation, I loaded the magazine. Although something seemed unusual about the fit, it never occurred to me that I had been sold the wrong ammunition for the handgun I had just purchased. A few days later, while showing the firearm to a friend, he noticed the discrepancy: the ammunition was .380, even though my handgun was a 9mm. I had planned to go shooting the following day and was also arranging professional training. Thankfully, my friend caught the mistake before I attempted to fire it. My concern was that, had I proceeded to fire the weapon with incompatible ammunition, I or someone nearby could have been seriously injured. That possibility made the store's dismissive response especially troubling. I called the store the next day and went in person to speak with the manager. What disappointed me almost as much as the original mistake was how casually my concern was handled. I was offered a $10 gift certificate, and the response left me feeling that the seriousness of selling incompatible ammunition had been dismissed. I emphasized that this was a safety concern, particularly for someone purchasing their first firearm. I expected a meaningful acknowledgment of the mistake and an explanation of how the store would prevent it from happening again. Instead, I left feeling brushed aside. I subsequently emailed the manager more than once and received no response. I understand that employees work hard and mistakes can happen. However, verifying that the ammunition being recommended and sold matches the firearm being purchased is a basic responsibility. Both items were part of the same transaction and appeared on the receipt. Since then, I have visited other firearm retailers and found employees who were more courteous, knowledgeable, and attentive, with comparable products and prices. My one-star rating reflects both the ammunition error and the inadequate response that followed. A $10 gift certificate felt dismissive given the nature of the issue. Based on this experience, I will not purchase another firearm from Sportsman's Warehouse, and I would encourage other buyers, especially first-time buyers, to consider shopping elsewhere.
