Before I start this review I would like to say that my response is based solely upon my personal experiences and my personal experiences alone, so with that being said let's begin!. My wife and I have been talking about firearms for a minute now but we never acted on it. Well enough procrastinating, we made plans to go yesterday afternoon to acquire about some firearms!. We walked in and right away we were greeted by a stone associate. I apologize for not getting his name because he was very detailed in all his explanations about our questions about the different firearms. We have both had our concealed carry license for years but never decided to pursue any firearms until now!. It was an easy transition to obtain a concealed carry license. All you have to do is take a gun safety class which consists of the basic knowledge of handling, owning and the gun range firing portion of it. Once you complete that you receive a certificate in which you take to your local city hall and apply for a concealed carry license. After you pay a $50 application and a somewhat brief background check and everything comes back clean, you will receive your license in the mail... Smooth transition!. I remember being born in NYC and trying to obtain a firearm license was impossible. I am sure there has been some change but to carry a weapon LEGALLY in NYC is almost impossible and I know I CANNOT bring firearms there under no circumstance. So knowing the laws in each and everything state are critical in owning firearms. But here in the Virginia and most other southern states the gun laws and carry licenses are a lot easier to obtain as opposed to the northern states. Well back to the review. I was able to purchase two firearms for my wife and I. Once we did a background check and everything came back clear and accompanied by some paperwork I was able to make the purchases. I have checked other prices of local shops and online gun dealers and I would say that the prices are pretty reasonable to me!. Another smooth transition process. I will be back to purchase more firearms as the need consists!. I appreciate you taking time out to read my review!. I would also like to add to the people who are against firearms. I purchased weapons for my wife and I for personal safety and protection and home defense purposes!. It is our right to carry firearms and our responsibility to protect and defend ourselves against the threat of violence!. I hope I never have to use my weapons but if it means defending my family and myself. Trust and believe I will not hesitate to shoot!!.. read more

Suffolk Pawn & Gun - The two firearms I purchased at Suffolk Pawn and Gun!. - Pawn Shops Near Me - Suffolk, Virginia

I've spent thousands of dollars at this store over the years on guns, vintage items, and more. I've been a loyal, repeat customer for over a decade and have never once haggled on price. That should speak for itself. Today was the first genuinely negative experience I've had here, and it was bad enough to warrant this review. The item I came in for is extremely common, with numerous identical listings online averaging around $285, with high-end listings topping out near $315. Despite that, this store had it priced at $500. Wanting to support a local business, especially one I've supported for years, I made a fair offer of $350, which is already above the highest market listings. The counteroffer was $415. What made the situation worse was the tone. The gentleman behind the counter came across as dismissive and condescending, clearly in a bad mood. I've dealt with him many times before, and this behavior was out of character, but that doesn't excuse it. When a loyal customer who makes a reasonable, above-market offer is met with both inflexibility, attitude, and complete disregard for years of haggle-free previous business, it's disappointing and disrespectful. I said my piece and left. Experiences like this make it harder to justify supporting local businesses when the value and professionalism simply aren't there. I guess it doesn't help that just last week I attempted to purchase a vintage pocket watch here that was represented as fully functional, only to discover, after insisting on testing it, that it was completely broken. The entire mechanical windup mechanism was shot. Had I trusted the description and not tested it on the spot, l would have walked out with a non-working item. Even then, the only concession offered was a $15 reduction, which was frankly insulting given the condition. Lastly, and this was the icing on the cake, my firearm background check was placed on hold a few weeks ago. Since this has happened to me before, I asked if they could call the state police hotline to expedite it, which is a standard practice at many dealers. I was told they were "no longer allowed" to call due to new rules and that I simply had to wait. That turned out to be completely false. I called the hotline myself and was immediately helped by a courteous representative who looked up my application and approved it on the spot. I then shared the number with other customers who were also waiting, and they too were approved within minutes. The reality is simple: I was intentionally misinformed. It's amazing what happens when someone takes initiative, something I would expect from a business I've supported for years. Experiences like this, combined with today's earlier interaction, are disappointing and far below the standard I've come to expect as a long-time, loyal customer. Do better. read more

Aiden was a great help with getting me a comfortable holster for my firearm i highly recommend also it's a beautiful store

Brought in a set of proof silver coins. When they took them back to value, they opened the protective covers. That ruins the value of proof coins. They do not know what they are doing with precious metals. read more

The entire staff at Suffolk Pawn & Gun made me feel safe, from them wearing the masks to the fact that they all carry weapons. Alex sold me my first gun, Zach sold me my second and Jeff just sold me my third. HUGE shout out to all three guys. Thank you, seriously. I appreciate the fact that they are very knowledgeable, they were each very patient with my while I made my choices.. and i didnt feel rushed or any pressure to purchase from any of them. Suffolk Pawn & Gun is actually one of the only shops in the area that still had guns to sell and believe me I went to 4 different places. Thanks to my neighbor Donnie for suggesting them. This is truly the best place to purchase weapons from.. see you all soon. (30 days) for my next purchase.. read more

The amazing staff here is always helpful and very knowledgeable. The owners Jay & Joanna treat you like part of the family. Zack and Alex are always on point with their firearms and ammo suggestions. I have purchased firearms from them, and used them for an FFL transfer with no issues. I have bought and sold jewelry here. On days when they aren't super busy, I like to check out the interesting items they have up for sale. You never know what you might find on the shelves. This family business in Suffolk is a rare jewel. Make sure to stop in and check them out. read more

Top notch. Huge, clean, and the staff knows what they're doing and talking about. They have a lot of neat things!

Was searching for a AR-15 and I couldn't find one anywhere and a friend of mine called this store and They has One Ruger 556 left and they where kind enough to hold it for me. I have never been there before but man was I blown away by there professionalism and knowledge and attentiveness. They took great care of me and I had a great conversation with Steve. Got the perfect guy I wanted and treated with respect even though I had no idea what I was doing. My first time buying a rifle. Very great place to shop. read more

Great Store! Neat and clean, Energetic and Knowledgeable Staff and amazing assortment of items to buy!

This place is awesome!! I saw the TV commercial and knew that I needed to come in. Right when I walked into the store I was greeted with a friendly "How are you today?" and a smile. This isn't a typical pawn shop, this store is clean, and very organized. I went over to the gun cabinets and was blown away by the customer service. Every member of that department (women and men) knew all the answers to the questions I had. They made me informed and stirred me in the right direction without pressuring me into actually buying a firearm. The store has tools, electronics, household appliances, instruments and really interesting antiques. I would definitely recommend checking this store out. read more
