Staff were very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Huge selection of reasonably priced firearms and a wide selection of ammunition. Even had the hard to find ammo that I couldn't get many other places. read more

They have a great store with enough stuff to wanna look around and even buy some stuff, a knowledgeable and helpful staff and what is helpful as they have their own parking lot. I'll be at small but it is also not the most crowded place so I was able to easily find parking. I recommend this place read more

I was just in to pick up a gift card, in this business it's a gift certificate, for my son. This business is literally "locked and loaded" and very professional. No joking, serious and direct. There were several people looking to buy handguns and they were informed of the laws regarding revolvers, rifles and knives.....lots of knives. There was a lot of personal protection stuff ie pepper spray, vests, belts, bullet proof gear. Also an abundance of flashlights, flashing warning lights, tactical lights that would make your backyard light up and seen at the ISS. The staff is patient with people wanting to purchase a hand gun. Going over the specifics and pitfalls and consequences of wrong information or things that would invalidate the application. Seem to know what they're doing and helping you to navigate Hawaii/Honolulu's convoluted gun laws. While they do have a parking lot next to the building there was no parking except on the street which is always difficult in this area. It's not a open-door business. You stand outside at the door until someone comes and lets you in and you won't be greeted by a perky clerk. They are worth checking out and a good idea for a gift certificate for someone who's an enthusiast. read more

One of the best places to get guns and ammo. Plenty of stock to choose from. Friendly store people.

The person helping me was knowledgeable and helpful. They have an abundance of inventory. Parking can be a little limited.

These guys have been around for a long time IMO one of the premiere gun shops on island... Located across wesco and across the old sears maintenance shop. Parking is (I believe mostly all street with a few stalls on the side of the building. Inside is bigger than most gun shops (actually they probably are the biggest) the sales floor is filled with an abundant selection of gun accessories from holsters ..cleaning supplies... optics.. target products etc... They have a large selection of pistols.. sporting rifles.. shotguns and tactical rifles. The staff is very attentive friendly and they all are very knowledgable Be patient because only so much customers are allowed in at a time and the rest needs to wait outside but well worth the wait.... they have unique packages some of their tactical long guns have red dots upgraded furniture magazines and even a bag for a reasonable price. If you are looking for a gunshop that has it all gotta check out young guns read more

Great service and selection. Friendly staff. Staff very helpful in finding a firearm perfect for you. read more

I entered the establishment, to purchase a Magpul PMAG GEN M3 Window AR-15 .223/5.56 30-Round Magazine. The individual who was assisting me notified me that to purchase this specific magazine, I would have to sign a waiver. (not required, or stated under any of the Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) Chapter 134). The individual informed me that this was a necessary step to educate me; of the Hawaii Gun Laws. (as a firearm owner, shouldn't we already all be well versed in HAWAII'S firearm laws, rules, and regulations?) Although now I was annoyed, I understood that this was to "protect" themselves from the possibility of prosecution, or repercussions. If the extent of the processes was to read, acknowledge, sign, then date; I would of obliged; however the individual required name, ADDRESS OF RESIDENCE, proof of identification, name, signature. (Why would a place of business, not legally required to (for this particular sale), ask for personal information, then decline a sale otherwise? Is this business secretly trying to add you to their mailing list, of over priced items? Is this business selling your information? Is this individual employee an identity criminal? Is this business a front for a more heinous crime?... Probably not, but you never know) This employee then preceded to profile me, stating "Well, based on the way you are acting, how do I know you are not a criminal, or if you are allowed to own this item?" OK, thats fine, I understand the immature nature of your disposition, I will leave your establishment... also.. 24.98 ?!?!? Thats almost 39% markup from Magpul's website MSRP. As far as professionalism, and price ANY other store would be better. read more

Young Guns - Sporting Goods Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Went in to young guns to get some information about what gun would be good for me. Greg was there to help me with all my questions. Greg showed me 3 guns that would be good for me. So I said I would be back when I was ready. This weekend I went back but Greg was busy conducting a class. But Bradda Joe was there to help me with all my questions and I made a decision. Joe gave me the best service and attention that a customer could ask for. Went through the process and made the purchase. I will definitely be back making another purchase. Mahalo's to young guns. Stay safe and Blessed! read more

Haven't gone in a gun store in over 20 years. Staff here made me feel comfortable. They had a good selection and prices are good too.

Customer service here is outstanding! They're friendly, upfront and knowledgeable. They took the time to listen to our preferences and recommended suitable firearms. Even during COVID, when ammo and firearms are scarce, Young Guns has a decent inventory and can be reached by phone regarding their inventory (that comes in almost weekly). For covid precautions, you must wait outside (there will probably be a line), and they'll come out to take the next person in as a customer is leaving. They take temperatures and offer hand sanitizer. They have a private lot as well as street parking. In addition to firearms, they also sell targets, mace/pepper spray, safes, and other self-defense and safety products. I highly recommend Young Guns! Tip: you may want to bring some cash with you. read more

They treated us AMAZING and were very helpful as soon as we walked in. Plus look at this? How can you not like them? They will even show you how to use pepper spray, what to do and were knowledgeable. Amazing customer service from everyone. read more

They where very helpful in finding a hand gun for me. The employee took out more than half of the pistols out for me to see how it feels and explained about the good and bad about it. read more

This place was a little intimidating to come in, especially if this is your first time in a gun store. However, after a few seconds you are greeted by a friendly worker and they make you feel comfortable. They obviously have a good variety of guns, but they also have flashlights, pepper spray and other cool stuff - not just guns. Their customer service was excellent. Not just one, but all of the workers were very helpful. I had a lot of questions and they patiently answered all of them. I highly recommend this place. I know people have said they aren't the cheapest, but it's still reasonable for the good quality. read more

I got to the place and they have to let you in (I get it but they should have a bell or something) I waited for a bit for them to let me in. They finally let me in awkwardly. I told them I was looking for pepper spray for the first time. I was expecting some kinda information on what would be best for me, and did not get any kind of advice. At this point I'm a little annoyed that I was waiting outside in unfamiliar place and getting little advice. After I selected he goes on to tell me a list of things (half of it is not applicable) so I'm letting him do his talk. I finally get home and look up the price of the spray I purchased ($5 increase at that store). Overall would not go back. He was not helpful, I felt vulnerable standing outside, and it's was more expensive. Just order online. read more

I was looking to get a name brand pocket knife for a gift and I searched Yelp to see if there were any places for me to look at. Yes; I could've gone on-line and just ordered one, but since it was a gift I wanted the opportunity to at least see it in person. To my surprise, when I typed in pocket knife or cutlery nothing really popped up. Then I used some other search words and eventually ended up on Young Guns and surfed to their website where they had a page for knifes. Their hours have been adjusted due to COVID so the website is not accurate. I didn't want to take pics inside the store as to not look suspicious so you have to check it out yourself; or look on the Yelp pics. They are also on Facebook. Being in a gun store I didn't know what to expect, so when I got there there were a few ppl waiting outside. There is a limit of how many folks can be in the store at the same time due to COVID (a good thing). When I got passed the door I was asked what I was looking for and they directed me to the knife display. They have a lot to select from. From short & long folding knifes, to hunting knifes, to fishing knifes and even Chef knifes. Someone came over and asked if I wanted to see anything and of course I asked to see a few of them. After I handled each one, the clerk carefully wiped them down to put them back into the case (another good thing). Experience: Epic. The staff was friendly and showed me how to open and close the knife. I ask about returns and they do have a return policy. Be sure to get the details as I'm sure it's different for other merchandise. They are also taking COVID seriously!! So wear a mask. Product: The knifes are pretty quality. They range from $ to $$$$. I didn't look at the prices for the Chef knifes but I'm sure they are up there. Parking: There is a small lot left of the store. There is also street parking but it gets full due to it being Mapunapuna. I didn't have an issue with it. Would I go back? I already did. I bought a 2nd knife as another gift!! read more

My dad has been coming here for years for his guns and ammo. And this is where I come as well. The staff are super friendly and helpful and they know their stuff! The prices are reasonable considering the times we are in right now. They are very diligent in practicing social distancing and pre-check in before you enter the store. Their hours are: Sun - Mon ... CLOSED Tues - Fri ... 10am to 4pm Sat ... 10am to 5pm Remember there is a line and you need to put your name on the list. One of the guys usually comes out with the list to update. Plus side...you get to see and meet how many people are in support of our 2nd amendment rights! Cheehoo! read more

Good friendly staff. Store could probably use a new look. Arrangement of shelves to be a little more organized would help customers find certain items easier. Parking has always been horrible. After circling 3 times to wait for parking, I had to head to the next shop. read more

I stopped by here yesterday with a couple of friends, one of whom is looking for a firearm. The customer service from Don and Nathan(?) was excellent as they knew their stuff and helped my friend to clarify what he was looking for and why. When I'm seriously looking for another firearm, I will definitely come here! read more

Great customer service. Knowledgeable. Answered all my questions as this is my first gun purchase. Would recommend stopping by here if you have the chance! read more

online prices are pretty decent but..... the way they handled the whole situation with the firearms i purchased via online was not okay. they usually have to call you once your order comes arrives in 7- 10 from their warehouse. I ended up waiting 12 actual business days (not including the holidays!) to give them the benefit of the doubt to only find out they had it the whole time. it took 2 phone calls to confirm delivery. one where they took my information down and they had to look for it and the two only to call me 3 hours later saying they finally found it ands its ready to pick up. Their customer service is okay and i feel like when you wait outside to be noticed the longest i waited was almost 20mins before having to stick my face in the window multiple times. Security Equip. on young street has way better response time to the door and they're slammed every time i go! their ammo prices are kinda steep i ended up paying 2x the prices of other stores ammo prices over here. This is just my honest opinion, everyone has different experiences but it's sad that i live down the road and i have to travel a little farther for better service and prices. you live and you learn read more

I went to Young Guns to buy pepper spray. They have the UV Gel pepper spray. The guy who sold it to me spent about 10 minutes explaining how to use it, what to do after, how to dispose of it, etc. Very informative and helpful. Thank you! read more

Amazing customer service. Came in knowing exactly what I wanted. The staff assisted me with everything I needed and wanted. Couldn't ask for more. Thank you! read more

every time i've shopped there it's been a great experence. never had a problem. great people. if they are not really busy, they will talk story with you, not like some places that try to hurry you out if it looks like you're just there to window shop. read more

Being sugar intolerant means having to find a different kind of candy store to satisfy that different kind of sweet tooth. Enter Young Guns: Hawaii's Best Gun and Knife Shop......their jingle, not mine. It's catchy, but are they Hawaii's best gun and knife shop? Centrally situated in Mapunapuna at the corner of Mapunapuna and Paa streets across from Sears Parts & Repair Center, this 19 year old gun shop takes up residence on the bottom floor of a shared business building and is among one of my favorite specialty shops on the island. On any given day, parking can pose as a bit of a challenge even though there's the option of street parking fronting the store, as well as the adjacent lot parking. Fortunately, I've always somehow been lucky to snag the last parking spot of the moment. As you enter this well stocked shop, you'll immediately be greeted warmly by the friendliest, most helpful staff who are ready to assist with your sweet cravings. For this visit, I bee line over to their yummy handguns which are displayed neatly in a spacious L-shaped glass case at the opposing wall to the main entrance. Scanning the rest of the store, I catch glimpses of glistening knives, interesting gear, innovative storage, delicious ammo, etc. Basically, all the tempting goodies any enthusiast might have a hankering for. Whether Young Guns is Hawaii's best gun and knife shop, you can decide. However, they are considered a keeper in my book......even though with this particular sweet endeavor, the happy bottom line will be determined by cost. read more

Good prices on a wide variety of firearms. Helpful, knowledgeable staff. Joe F. did our NRA certified gun class.

Read some of these critiques. I am at a loss with the low ratings some people left. My experiences with Young Guns has been spot on. Maybe when I go in I know what I want and they have even gone out of their way to work with me. I even volunteered to stand outside the state capital for gun rights with these guys and gal They let me know when sales are going to be coming. I couldn't be any more content with any other establishment. Thank you all from Young Guns I have recommended this business to all my friends and family read more

Went to young guns last weekend to purchase my first handgun, upon arrival had to wait in line and put my name on a list, the line went fast. Did a lot of research and I knew exactly what I wanted but wanted to handle the other guns to make sure I was going to make the right purchase, the dude with the beard and Glock 19x gave me quite a bit of knowledge on other guns and answered all my questions confidently, needless to say I left with the gun I wanted Glock 19 and walked out of there confidently knowing I made a great purchase. pro tip bring cash. read more

I took my daughter, who is a college student, here today to get her a keychain pepper spray. The customer service was top notch, as was the thorough safely briefing on how best to use the spray. Great assortment of pepper spray!! I will definitely refer friends and acquaintances. Although, I'm not recalling the name of the gentlemen who provided the outstanding service, he's an army vet with an impressive beard. Thanks man!! You know who you are! Mike Dillard read more

We currently live in uncertain times but the service at Young Guns is absolutely incredible..every day there is a line of patient customers waiting to enter..once you get in (no more than 2 or 3 at a time) you're greeted by a friendly and relaxing vibe ..at no time did I feel like they were rushing me out, on the contrary I was able to talk story with them which made it worth the wait..I just needed ammo and was surprised how affordable they were...sure prices have gone up but no way have they done what you see at some mainland on line sites where price gouging is horrendous..and this was my very first visit here..since then I've been here atleast 8 more times regardless of the wait because the service is top notch...thank you Young Guns..Highly recommend... read more

These guys have no customer service at all. I went in there to buy some ammo and waited for 5 mins while the 2 employees walked past me and talked to themselves. Here's a TIP... If you want cheaper ammo and actual service go down the street to HGS. read more

You guys were my go to shop for decades and this shortage of all shortages showed me your commitment to the sport and those in LE. Your safety measures are top notch. I can't remember having to take my temp so often. Thank you for the service you provide me. read more

Great as I remembered! Last time I purchased ammo was in 2000. Been out of shooting for the past 21 years. But went in to get some ammo 21 years later and service was awesome!!! The sales person (tall guy who was at the door letting everyone in) was very helpful and even took the time to answer my dumb questions on how to get back into the loop. I even called ahead to see if they had ammo and the person who answered was cheerful and courteous even tho I'm sure they get calls every 5 minutes with the same question. Go buy from Young Guns! Was GREAT 21 years ago and GREATER even now. read more

They didn't have what I was looking for but the gentlemen who helped me was pleasant and customer focused.

I came here to purchase pepper spray and was helped right away. They have several to choose from, but I just wanted a mini type that would fit in my bag or on a keychain. The staff member was very helpful giving me instructions on how to use the pepper spray, how to test it, and how to dispose of it as its shelf life is about 3 years. I also had to sign a proof of purchase and found that you can also purchase pepper spray as a gift! Great service. read more

This an awesome store and very positive and professional employees their guidance with the equipment they have are awesome,I will be going back in the near future. read more

Young Guns - Awesome products and employees. - Sporting Goods Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This was my first visit to Young Guns. I was looking for gun cleaning supplies for a gun i received as a gift. I wandered through the store for a minute and found the cleaning supplies as an employee greeted me and asked if he could help. I told him what I was looking for and he took the time to show me all of my options and he gave me his recommendations. He was very patient and took the time to listen to my concerns. I am a very inexperienced gun owner and must have sounded quite stupid. He treated me like I was a regular customer and never made me feel dumb. He answered all my questions and I walked out with everything I needed and I even learned a few things from him. I will be shopping here for all my hunting needs. read more

This store has a decent variety of firearms. The good thing about this place is that the staff are friendly, they acknowledge you as you enter the store, and are open to answering your questions. They are very knowledgeable about HAWAII's gun laws and are very informative about different firearms. BUT... The bad experience I had with them was that I signed up for a firearms training class for a weekend. The first weekend I scheduled for, my instructor (who I will not mention) canceled on me because of the Superbowl. I mean my Patriots were playing and I actually sacrificed watching the Superbowl to get this training class over and done with. But it was canceled. So I rescheduled it for the following weekend. I had to pull some strings to get my request off from work granted, only for the class to be canceled again for some reason i'm not aware of. So I rescheduled with them the following upcoming weekend and had to beg to get the day off from work. I got the day off from work only for the instructor to call me the night before my morning class that I am the only person that signed up for the class. Since it was ONLY ME, he canceled the class in hopes that the following week he may get more people to sign up with me. I was already irritable and mentioned I had paid for the class 3 weeks ago only to be canceled 3 weekends in a row. It shouldnt matter if i'm the only person that signed up for the class, I am still a paying customer. My patience was tested especially if I have to KEEP requesting off every weekend from work FOR NOTHING. Lastly, lets just say WHAT IF I kept rescheduling for the following weekends, whose to say im still the only one signed up for the class week to week. Are they just going to keep pushing for a reschedule? This is the only thing that disappointed me. From a highly talked about place with such great reputation and reviews, this completely disappointed me. The instructor had the nerve to tell me if I want to do my class asap, to just go back to the store to get my money back and find someone else to do my training. Which I was very much happy to do so. I canceled my class with Young Gun's instructors, got my full refund, and outsourced another instructor. I found someone who was willing to do my class ASAP, ON A WEEKDAY, since im actually off a couple weekdays and work weekends. I didnt have to request off to do my class. I didnt have to work around Young Gun's schedule which the classes are only available on weekends, but I got an instructor to work around mine. Now I have my permits and I wont be shopping at Young Guns. I would give them a 1 star but ill give them 2, only because majority of the staff were nice. But they need to get their class schedules straightened out. It shouldnt matter if only 1 person signs up for a firearms training class. Yet it's up to the instructors to make that call... pfffft, I outsourced an instructor and I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN HIS CLASS, yet he took time out of his day to teach a single individual and walk me through the training and everything. If my instructor had a yelp, he'd get the 5 stars from me. read more
