I have to say the staff at the armory are by far some of the best I have ever delt with. No question was to dumb and they took time explain the forms which really helped. If I could give them a 10, I would. A Great Experience 100%!! read more

The Armory - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Good shotgun ar combo for under $600. The guys in there were very friendly and helpful!

gentleman extremely helpful. found what I wanted and it is coming. will go back to do business with them again. Price is right and there is plenty of stuff to select from. If it isn't in stock, they will order it for you.. read more

I keep attempting to give the armory a clean slate, and spend some money. But it's like they don't want your money. You walk in and give a "good morning" and you're greeted with a stare. You ask a question, and you get a head shake, no words. You look at products in cases, and employees ignore you rather than asking if you need to see something. I've literally gone in with a mindset of "I'm going to buy this gun", and walked out after being blatantly ignored by employees. I could look past some of this if the prices were decent, but they're not. If you want to hoard some garbage steel cased ammo, or spend too much on a basic gun, by all means. Otherwise, visit ANY of the other local FFL's. read more

I've been using The Armory for FFL transfers, shopping for firearms, ammo, and parts for several years. The customer service definitely leaves some to be desired. However their staff is general extremely knowledgeable and are willing to help you with any firearms related information you may need. Their firearm prices are on par with similar shops in the area however they offer a wide selection of ammunition, magazines, and rifle parts. read more

Customer service. Acknowledge you when you come into the store. Had a pocket full of cash and no help to spend it.

Service is excellent!!! The selection of Ammo and Firearms are the best ! Staff is knowledgeable and friendly!! The Value of everything is the best in the area!!! With prices this low and the quality, I'll make them my number one choice for all the things I need!!! read more

Great Establishment! Wonderful selection of firearms and fantastic deals on ammo! Support your Constitutional Rights!!! read more

I've been off and on shopping at the Armory for about 8 years. So I'm used to certain staff members being complete jerks. But today was the last straw. I went to pick up ammo and the older guy that sits in the front on the computer started helping me and as I was telling him what other ammo I wanted. He took a phone call and walked off and didn't return. Luckily a lady from the back came out a minute later right before I left and finished helping me. Even a few other customers were confused. Long story short. Just buy your ammo online from the countless other online stores. Most of the time it's cheaper if you're buying in bulk. The Armory is right along the lines as Ron Hess. Please Beware people. The power is in our money. Spend it elsewhere read more

Great local shop with an experienced staff. Has a great neighborhood small business feel to the place. Inventory is top notch and they carry an array of accessories. read more

Bought 9mm ammo from great price, i definitely will be buying my next gun from them soon.

Cool place with a good selection and prices . Has that old school gun shop meets surplus feel. Staff was real helpful and knowledgeable. Neat place and will def go back read more

Stopped in the shop. Talking with the gentleman behind the counter. Guys are awesome and knowledgeable, friendly making you feel welcomed! Suggest you do business with them. Best gun shop I ever walked into! read more

The staff is friendly, experienced, knowledgeable and will take time to answer questions and offer good advise. Personable and never pushy. If they don't have what you want, they will order it for you. Good selection of firearms, ammo and accessories, and you can't find better prices anywhere in the area. Have dealt with them for years and never been dissatisfied. Once you shop here, you'll probably make it your 'go-to' store. read more

Lowest ammo prices in town by far. Blue Label Glock program. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

The Armory was offering a splendid deal for a rifle and a shotgun combo. After talking to one very helpful employee I left with my husband to discuss the deal. Upon returning to complete a sale, I was greeted by two older employees very different demeanor. Gun buying shouldn't be easy but it definitely should not be disrespectful. When returning to the store to ask about a rifle and shotgun I was immediately shot down due to lack of "feeling" like I haven't completed my sea time on a ship by serving my country with a 9 month deployment and 5 years of service. Right after I got the feeling that I was complete ridiculed for separating from the navy and also transferring to California. At the end of the day I would never do busy here again. You would think that with age comes respect but The disrespectful mess was too much I guess, and you have to look old and broken to buy a gun here or not affiliated with California at all. read more

Staff are only interested in continuing conversations with their regulars even when several people are waiting for service and they act annoyed if you try and ask a question...I just find it odd that this small and totally unimpressive shop would act like there aren't a million other options to buy firearms and ammo out there. They seem to think that customers need them more than they need customers. Nothing will be lost when they eventually fold up shop. read more

Ok so I just called the Armory and a guy answered. I asked him if they are operating under normal business hours since the holidays. He said yes. I then asked if he had time for a quick question in which he replied "sir I do not". I then replied "that's a great way to earn business, I'll take mine elsewhere ". Man do I have a huge Christmas list to get. They have no clue the amount of money they just lost. I've been here a couple times before and already had a bad taste but this was just the straight up vinegar that got accidentally put into the cake. I promise you all that I will NEVER shop here again and I advise everyone to take your business elsewhere as well because you won't regret it. They are some straight up rude people in there. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!!!! read more

Good place to go and prices can be good. Ran into some issues with a FFL transfer to them causing my order to be delayed but they owned up to it and got it in a reasonable amount of time. read more

Small shop, but the employees are extremely knowledgeable. They also have some pretty good deals on bulk ammo.

I walked in to buy a handgun and some ammo and none of the staff would talk to me or even look at me except for the young lady that can't sell guns. I tried talking to the staff and one older gentlemen ignored me and the other was too focused on b.s'n with his buddy. What kind of service is this? read more

While the store carries a good Ammo supply at a value, the workers are not very attentive or pleasant to deal with. I've gone here many times with the same experience and while it's the closest to my house, I would rather drive further for better customer service elsewhere. DOA Arms is just a bit further... shop around! read more

I agree with the negative reviews. The folks behind the counter are jerks. I asked to look at a particular gun. The guy hands it to me but it felt too heavy so I gave it back. He then became upset and said loudly "SO YOU'RE NOT GONNA BUY IT?!" I said no. He then shakes his head and walks away. Also, the store is quite cluttered. read more

Great Online Services, I have been ordering from here for years. Never had any problems and always get orders in a quick manner.

Paid a couple hundred dollars to put a gun on layaway. Came back about a week later with my receipt and they sold the gun I had on layaway. Moreover, they didn't have another one. It's pretty obvious they just don't give a cr@p. I'd suggest going somewhere else and spare yourself the BS. read more

Great selection on not only firearms but ammo and parts as well. Staff was very helpful and friendly and made my purchases simple. So far I've got 2 firearms here and will be back for more. read more

My go-to gun shop. Great prices. The sales people are friendly and able to answer questions. Wish they carried hunting rifles and shotguns, black powder firearms and supplies, and reloading equipment and supplies. For most, this is the store to buy a defensive firearm rather than target or hunting firearms. If you're looking for a revolver, this is not the store. It specializes in ARs, S&W MP pistols, Glocks, Sigs, and Kimbers. Their bulk ammo prices are great. There are a few guns they offered in the past at great prices and which I did not jump on. Still kicking myself for passing those by. That's why I stop in every so often just to browse and if they have something on my bucket list, it gets bought on the spot. read more

Are you serious?! Back when this was a Mom and Pop tiny store, this place was amazing..... now it's full of arrogance and bottom shelf parts.... UTG? .... give me a break! They act like it's your privilege to go into their shop and spend your money. NOPE!!!! read more

The armory is 1 of the closest gun/ammo stores near me. Staff are helpful but sometimes don't have info or details about some of my questions. store is a bit cramped. The have a fun guns that caught my attention remington nitro mag and the HK USC but I mainly go here for ammo. .38 spl, .357 magnum and .308win. always had the ammo i needed. prices are fair compared to others. read more

I went in with a shopping list for over $1200 worth of product and was told that they would not honor their advertised prices. .40 ammo was 33% higher than what they advertise and the counter guy just said "sorry that's the way it is". They still have the lower prices posted on the Internet but say they will only honor those prices for mail order customers. They admitted that this policy is not mentioned on the website. I went here once before and found the staff to be arrogant, condescending, and uninformed. I figured I would give them another try but see now that I was just wasting my time and gas. read more

These guys are great, first time in there and I was treated excellent and introduced to some of there friends, second time was just as impressive. read more

Knowledgeable staff, friendly service...great prices on ammo. Will come back when I'm in the area again. read more

Im from out of town, had what I wanted in stock, but could have shipped on order. I found folks there very helpful, and nice. Great conversations, I think would be helpful for new shooters, just ask. Anyway will be back my next time in town read more

I cannot say how much I would recommend coming here! Bought my first gun with the help of Richard, and the knowledge I was given was so helpful. He did not judge me for the lack of knowledge I do have, and was so informative even though they were extremely busy. I can't say enough good things about Richard, and how positive he made the first gun buying experience. read more

Came in asked for a suppressor, it was put on order and after calling multiple times and being told it was coming in I just waited. It has now been 7 months, now I understand there might be issues with manufacturers not making certain cans, but being told it's coming seems like a lie to buy time. Honesty is the pillar of a good business. Went somewhere else and in 34 days I got the same suppressor and started the paperwork. Just a let down cause the people working inside this place seem nice and helpful. read more

I said FAST shipping! I ordered Tuesday afternoon. My ammo was delivered this morning. Standard shipping to boot! AWESOME! Thanks to The Armory. read more

I'm not sure why people have been hitting on their customer service. I came to check out a gun and was greeted when I walked in, and someone helped me immediately when I needed it. They have a good selection of LEO discount guns which I bought. Later, I came to pick my gun up, which was ordered, FIVE minutes before they closed. Keep in mind there is quite a bit of paperwork to be filled out, especially right as they were closing. Everyone in the store helped me and I didn't get single bit of attitude from anyone in the store at the time. They were polite and did not rush me out. It took about 20 min to which I was very grateful they helped me BC my schedule is hectic. Large gun and accessory selection also. read more

Called looking for a specific gun for my fiancé, I was told over the phone not only do they not carry it but what he does have that is comparable is "too expensive" for me. Strange since I never mentioned a price range, I guess he just didn't want to make a sale or assumed I couldn't afford it by my voice? No worries, I will be happy to spend my money elsewhere and support good business instead. read more

Easy going staff. No high pressure sales pitching and their prices are likely better than most in Hampton Roads. Went in with a bunch of questions and didn't feel like I was bothering them at all, and they were pretty busy. Ended up getting a few items, background check took the normal amount of time and they were happy to "talk shop" and show me a few other neat firearms to keep in mind while we waited on paperwork. Can't say a single bad thing about them. I will be back there for sure. read more

Great customer service......thanks Andrew....you were very helpful during my purchase. Will be coming back for my next pistol. read more
