You won't see or feel any of that machismo/ "tough guy" attitude that we very often experience in many gun stores. Here at A-1 Tactical O., everyone is polite, helpful and makes you feel welcome.

I have been doing business and using their services for a few years now, soI highly recommend A-1 Tactical, for any of your gun needs.

The gun arrived and they called me to let me know I could pick it up. It's a very nondescript building right on 54th street just off 34th. As I entered, it appeared to be a lock smith shop. I heard a lady telling me to come to the back of the office and there it was! A really cool gun store with many interesting and even rare guns. Displayed in kind of a haphazard way (some long guns were on the floor) it was like nothing I've ever seen but in a good way! The lady helping me out, couldn't have been nicer. Everything was done in just s few minutes. I also bought a box of ammo. $32 for a transfer is really pretty reasonable given some places are asking $100. A1 tactical isn't a fancy or high end establishment. It's a good, old fashioned gun shop run by real nice folks. Don't hesitate to do business with them!
