Note missing rubber picatinny rail hand guard, Rockset on the picatinny rail, Fast-Attach collar not at 6 o'clock position.
Jack S.

Generally friendly guys, I've never had a problem with this shop. I've purchased a few firearms from them without any problem, and have been generally satisfied with their service and happy with their convenient location. In times past when I've come in to find AR parts or accessories, their selection was lacking and ultimately I was able to find what I was looking for elsewhere, but I knew they had an in-house gunsmith and needed a fairly quick muzzle device installation - a Surefire Warcomp for a Noveske short barreled AR upper. A single star hasn't been earned, but Yelp won't let me post without at least a 1 star selection. Had the gunsmith not been dishonest with me, I'd have at least given them 3 of 5 stars, earned for friendliness and timeliness, and an ignorant installation. A 4 or 5 out of 5 would have been earned for an educated, proper muzzle device installation, not lost a part of the rubber picatinny rail hand guard, not gotten Rockset on my picatinny rail, and MOSTLY not lied about the tool being a one-time-use only tool so that they could steal/keep it, cover up that it was lost, or whatever the situation was that kept him from returning my tool I provided to him for the installation. Upon asking for the tool after I paid for the service, I was informed that it was a "one-time-only" use tool and that it was "chewed up and garbage". After seeing that the muzzle device was not properly centered and being told that the tool was trashed, it became apparent to me that arguing over or challenging the lie would be useless, that I wasn't going to trust that the job was done properly if I had requested the gunsmith to fix it and therefore I left to find another armorer. Anything more would have seemed prideful or arrogant coming from me inside their shop which is inappropriate conduct on my behalf. So I learned, and I won't be back. Normally, even with all the problems in quality of workmanship, I'd not leave any review, if it couldn't be a good review - maybe someone was having a bad day, honest mistakes happen. But a gunsmith - the actual professional I'm entrusting my firearm with on which to perform professional work - was dishonest. This is intolerable - especially in a service industry. Even if the tool was trashed, he should have offered to give it back to me in such condition and not assume that throwing it away would be acceptable. His actions cause me to think that he lied and stole from a customer. A quick YouTube search on his phone that I've seen him use behind his gunsmithing desk would have brought him to a 4:58 video by Surefire on the proper installation of said device. It can be seen here youtube. com/watch?v=CjA9-VbmrXA&t=115s Surefire does not sell throw-away, one-time-use tools with the Warcomp muzzle device. The Warcomp muzzle device is designed specifically to be oriented in a manner to maximize muzzle-rise and reduce muzzle-flash. The orientation in which the gunsmith installed the device would have shots compensating up and left for each shot. The Surefire patented Fast-Attach collar should be installed at 6 o'clock dead-center, not at the 7 or 8 o'clock position. This experience has left me questioning whether or not the device was torqued to the required 30 ft/lbs specs (if a torque wrench was even used), whether the shims were properly installed, if the Rockset was properly applied (a common item for misapplication), whether the muzzle threads and comp threads were properly cleaned beforehand, or if the firearm would even be safe to fire at this point. I left their shop feeling taken advantage of by a gunsmith who, over a tool worth a couple of dollars, has permanently lost my business and will forever be remembered for the lies he fed to me when others ask about my opinion of local gun shops/gunsmiths. I'm truly disappointed as I've enjoyed going to that shop for the past couple years. Dishonesty is a major violation of trust for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjA9-VbmrXA&t=115s

Awesome place with everything you could want in a gun store! The store is staff with experts that can guide in all youth decisions! PS. The also have a nice selection of goat guns! (mini model guns)

Thanks Strapt Armory

Can't recommend Strapt Armory enough. I am Ex Military, and over the holiday, our son introduced us to Charlie and his crew. Great little shop. Very knowledge and extremely helpful. We purchased my wife her very first gun. She has been very apprehensive about this. They answered all her questions, and we're incredibly patient. We also purchase our son a new gun and loaded up on ammo. Charlie and his crew helped make our holiday with family that much better. They have a customer for life. Thanks, Strapt Amory.

Charlie was amazing! I went to Strapt to build my first AR. Charlie and the guys helped me pick out all the right parts for my build. Over the course of 6 months I got all my pieces together and Charlie told me to come back and build it in the shop! Of course I listened and thank god because I didn't know what I was doing. Charlie and the guys helped me assemble the entire rifle from start to finish. They were very patient with me and made sure everything was done right. I wanted iron sights but they didn't have any at the time so Charlie pulled a set off of his own weapon and installed them on mine! What a stand up guy! I left with the firearm I'd been dreaming of! I'll start my next one shortly and I know Charlie and the guys will be there to help! Thank you Charlie

I love this place! I used to be an REI loyalists but lately my activities are getting much more…read moretechnical and REI doesn't seem to be able to supply all the gear I need. I came here a few days ago looking for vertical ascend gear out of caves. I was greeted by Jason and he was really helpful and knowledgeable. I needed very specific gear, and Jason was very patient with me and showed me where I could find sit harnesses, chest harness, chest ascender, hand ascende, foot loops, etc. I didn't find exactly what I needed but got a good idea on the things I need to build a personalized vertical gear set for myself. And of course, while I was looking for cave gear, I wandered around looking at all the fabulous gear they have, I was like a kid in a candy store. I could spend hours in here. I started looking at hydration packs as I need to replace mine and found a very nice military edition and will come back to purchase this soon. I also saw plenty of Petzl bags, and very tempted to purchase another. They also carry so much Petzl gear, you will be in heaven here. Also, some great hiking shoes and some sleek, but we'll performing water shoes. I then wandered into kayaks and Jason even showed me the Padillac they have! I've gotten into paddleboarding and kayaking for the summer and now want one of each! This place rents them and sells them. I then went to check out some wetsuit gear, and they have a really nice selection of wetsuits, gloves, booties, etc. I really love this place and it is definitely gonna bankrupt me, but so worth it. High quality gear, more extensive selection than REI and the staff here know what they are talking about. If you need something specialized, this is the place for you. I'll be back here soon!

This weekend, the 5.11 Tactical store of Chandler (more like Gilbert) held its grand opening. I had…read moremade a few trips before the official opening as this location is substantially closer to me than the Phoenix location. While the usual 5.11 fanfare was present for their grand opening, something was "off". I am a loyal 5.11 customer as every item I have purchased from them has surpassed my expectations and held up in travel to locations on the planet that are not kind to bags, boots, and suitcases. From the first time I walked into the Phoenix location, I was greeted with not only courtesy and professionalism but also real-life knowledge. That is what felt off about the new location; aside from it being smaller than the Phoenix location, it felt like a store. The employees, while courteous, didn't emit a vibe (or share information) that spoke to them living the lifestyle that is synonymous with 5.11 or conducive for tactical gear to be enjoyed in all its splendor. Despite the extra 20 minutes I would have to drive to reach the Phoenix location from my home (again, this new location is closer), I will continue to shop in Phoenix location. It has become home, and the staff family. If you truly want to maximize the 5.11 experience, head over to Phoenix and ask for either Quentin, David, or the manager, Ben De La Paz. These gentlemen are not simply there to sell items in a store; they are there to share with you how the tactical lifestyle is alive and well in today's society and how 5.11 gear leads the way.

I just purchased four shirts from this location and had a wonderful experience. Many thanks to "Q"…read morefor being so helpful and pleasant. This is a great store and she is a tremendous employee. Store is clean, organized, and well stocked.

I love that they carry some of our favorite brands like Vuori, Patagonia, North Face, Hoka, New Balance and Birkenstock. They also have a limited selection of energy fuel (ie: gu, gummies, etc...) + sunscreen, lip balm and small sporting accessories. The prices are not cheap, however... unless you luck out and find your size and style on a sale rack. On a recent visit with my daughter, we purchased 3 pairs of shorts. One on sale and the others pretty expensive. Hopefully they will last a long time!

It's staffed by mostly ultra runners (those who run races longer than the marathon). Mark (owner), James (manager) and Lisa (sales) are all 100 mile race runners. They know about running and more importantly, they know about the product they are selling you. IRun only carries shoes they believe in and would wear themselves.

Great little tackle shop in Phoenix with everything you could possibly need for your fishing…read moreadventures. Whether you're fishing freshwater, saltwater or fly, this place has it all. They have all your classic lure and plastics brands, but also a ton of locally-made gear that you can't find anywhere else. Personally, I love Senkos, and they have every color and size under the sun... but there's something for everyone. The service is also fantastic. I bought a rod and reel here a few months back, and frankly, had no idea what I was looking for besides a basic spinner. The owner gave me a few suggestions for my price range and went through the pros and cons of each. No pressure - just good solid information to help me make an educated decision. When I chose one, they were kind enough to spool it up (for free) when I was checking out. When I later had some backlash issues with the new reel, I brought it back in and they re-spooled the reel with a new, lighter line for no charge that has since worked wonders. A lot of tackle shops have pretentious employees that judge just about every purchase you make or bat an eye when you tell them about the murky backyard hole you're going fishing in... not these guys, though! In fact, every employee I've asked for help has been keen on getting me set up perfectly with everything I've needed, and have even shared some great fishing stories too. These guys just love fishing and the people who share their hobby, and it's apparent when you walk in the door. I 100% recommend Phoenix Fishing Supply for all your fishing needs.
