A J I Sporting Goods

best gun shop in the valley jeff and family are amazing as ive grown to know them. I will always seek to them as a source for my needs and wishes. Ive been in before I have met them and will say huge selection and knowlege its fantastic!!!

My husband has done a lot of business with AJI. We are military so we don’t live in town but we always manage to buy something from these guys every time we are in town on leave. They always treat us right and are very friendly. Got my ruger LC9 from them and have gotten many other parts for my husbands AR and .22 LR. It’s always been super busy when we have gone in so I don’t expect a «hi how are you» whenever I walk in the door. As an adult walking into a gun shop I don’t need someone to hold my hand. This isn’t cabellas, so I’m not sure why so many people expect these guys to babysit them. But I’m sure they will if you just ask nicely. They are all pretty knowledgable.

As the first time going on are I was really impressed with how Dave Warren responded when I told him I knew nothing about guns. This store has an incredible stock in inventory of merchandise. It seems that every employee here is happy to work here because they’re helpful to everybody as you can hear their so kind to all the other customers. The selection and prices are phenomenal after we shopped other gun stores we kept coming back here they even do trade ins that are very reasonable and benefit the customer. As a first time buyer of a Glock 43 I will say that I will probably do all my gun purchases at the store.

So I thought I would give AJI a try, since I haven’t been there in probably 3 years. I saw (surprisingly) a few good reviews of them here so figured it was worth a shot to stop by and check for ammo. The place has had a minor interior face lift, but is the same old good old boy hang out. It seriously reminds me of just a bunch if guys who would probably be there hanging out BSing anyways so they gave them a job. No one greets or even acknowledges you at all, and I mean zero. Had what appeared to be 1 customer and about 3 employees, customer appeared to be a regular as they were all just hanging out and just talking, 1 was on a laptop obviously busy as he didn’t even look my way when I was 4 feet from him trying to spot ammo. I finally asked him about what I was after, do you have any _​_​_​? — nope. I just said thanks and left. The ammo they did have was WAY over priced however it wasn’t what I was looking for.
So I agree with above as that they aren’t rude, but friendly or professional doesn’t come to mind either. I stopped going there 3 year ago bc I always felt as though I was bugging them to see something, even though I had bought several guns there in the past.
I said then I wouldn’t go back as I would rather spend my hard earned money with someone who appreciates it than someone who is too busy, I wish I hadn’t stopped in today. Besides, $ 42.95 for cheap 40 s&w ammo 50ct is WAY over priced for me.
Thanks for reading.

Went to AJI for the first time today, huge selection of new and used guns and tons of mil surp guns/​ammo. The prices were fair and the staff was helpful and attentive but keep in mind they are not waiters/​waitresses so don’t expect to be waited on, if you need help ASK! Oh and support small businesses, Ca$h is king.

Great shop with awesome selection and helpful staff. Jeff is the other sexy bald dude in the local gun business and very helpful. Derek is a tubby old dude that has forgotten more about AK’s then I’ve learned in the 20yrs I’ve been dealing with them. Even though over the years I have refused Jeff’s frequent monetary offers to marry his daughter there is no hard feelings and I feel welcome walking into AJI any time I can get up that way. As is all too common in this state, we have a few local turds like Mike T that take to Unilocal to lash out at legit dealers because they wouldn’t give them $ 200 for their well-​used Hi-​Point «fotay cal» or wouldn’t match the über-​sale at Buds Guns online store. Keep shopping at Walmart for your guns and whatnot Mike, maybe you’ll find their counter staff’s knowledge and helpfulness more to your damaged chromosome liking ;)

While this is not a fancy smancy as SGC, they also do not have over inflated prices like scottsdale. They have knowledgeable people working there and a large selection of items, and odd items too. Have a weird Isreali Galil? They have mags for it. Old military surplus stuff, they have that too. The newest swag chrome plated AR, they have those too.
Just ask for the owner, Jeff and you will get better answers from the start, if the other folks do not seem to understand what you need.

I stopped in to browse around. They have a really cool setup. Its a gun shop with a lot of «stuff». It is setup like shops i remember going into with my dad when i was young. Has a really cool old school feel to it. Shop dog and all.
Prices seemed normal compared to everyone else.
M855 5.56mm was $ 400 for 1,000 rnds… seems steep.
Its a cool shop that i would support if and when i need ammo.

Haven’t been in much but it’s a well stocked shop. Prices look good. First trip I was just looking around but the staff was friendly and answered my questions. The second trip I had a gun shipped to them. $ 20 for the ffl. Fast and easy. I will be back.

Jeff and his staff are a good bunch of people. I have bought 6 firearms from them and this is where I usually go for my Russian ammo. Recently Jeff spent a lot of time on my behalf to find a newly imported pistol and I was one of the very first in the US to get my hands on it thanks to his relentless efforts. All in all, this is a great neighborhood gun store with an attitude (make what you want of it).

I came here a few times to trade in guns; the guy in the back who deals with trade-​ins is a true businessman, who deals with you fairly and will break down his valuations and deal with you like a real human being. I didn’t get as much as I wanted for my guns, but that’s not the point, market prices determine what you will get and he will check before giving you an offer!

This is a smallish gunstore, but it’s one of the two best that I’ve been to in AZ. Lots of semi auto rifles and cool new stuff.

So I’ve been going to AJI for about 3 years, they have a good selection of guns and ammo and for the most part have alright customer service. Except for if you call in, I have several times been treated like I was a annoying customer calling in to ask a question before I even said anything. The first thing I heard was «can I help you» in a very loud tone. I asked the guy is this Is this was the gun shop in Apache junction he said yes in a very rude tone. Apache junction is a town and we are AJI. So first of all he didn’t have to be unprofessional when he answered my question and could have had a better tone of voice. Oh and could have answered the phone and said the name of the shop like every other gun shop does.
Sorry AJI I’ll have to
Find another gun shop from
Now on. This is the 3^rd time I’ve experienced rude people from that shop.

I’ve been to almost every gun store in and around the phoenix area and hands down AJI is the best of the best. The selection is outstanding and the prices are more than fair. I really tested their patients with a bombardment of questions and clearly spending more time then needed on a particular item but they kept answering questions with a smile! Hats off to you guys! Finally a store run by NICE professionals. I even asked very basic questions, some deliberately dumb just to see what kind of response I’d get and without missing a beat they would answer it with complete professionalism. I know guns but I don’t know the sellers and to really get to know a seller you have to find out just how far they will go to help and AJI has no boundaries.

It’s very hit and miss when I go into AJI. I am a fairly loyal customer, because I usually deal with Jeff, Taylor or Josh directly when I’m in their and they are all pretty knowledgeable and outgoing. However, the remaining staff are quite uneducated regarding firearms and their customer service skills are minimal, at best. This is NOT a gun shop for the novice or beginner. If you don’t know what you’re looking for or what you’re doing, go elsewhere. If you are an experienced carrier, user, LE, etc… I would definitely recommend AJI!

I really don’t know what people are expecting when they go to a gun shop. I don’t expect the salespeople to perform back flips and throw confetti when I walk through the store, but apparently that’s what other reviewers are expecting. When I went in I got a greeting, there were several other customers there who were being served, but a salesperson came right over. I asked her about lower receivers, she showed me what they had (a few different brands, different levels of quality), and got one out so I could look at it and even allowed me to semi attach it to my upper to compare color. I asked if they had complete lowers, and she referred me to the gunsmith that is co-​located with the store, and I went there to see what they could do for me.
When I came back from the gunsmith (he’d agreed to complete the lower I was going to buy from AJI), I walked back into AJI, went back to the lower receiver area, and all I had to do was look up at the salesperson who’d helped me before and she came right back over. I didn’t have to ask for help, I didn’t have to interrupt anyone’s conversation; I just looked in her direction and she came right over. I only bought a stripped lower, I didn’t spend much money, but they were very prompt and professional. I don’t know these people, and I don’t look like a «gun guy» (I wasn’t wearing 5.11 pants and tactical earrings or anything), yet I was attended to in a very prompt, professional and courteous manner.
I’ll be back.

Being military I usually do my firearm purchases here when I’m in town. Transfers, ammo, guns and anything else you’d want are all there and reasonably priced enough that I don’t really bother shopping around anymore. I’ve never had any if the problems than some reviewers have had and actually really enjoy the folks that work there, even the stores cattle dog. Sometimes they do have a LOT of customers which may explain some of the service complaints but they get five stars from me.

I have purchased at least two guns at AJI. The 1^st one was a pistol as a Xmas gift for my son. Taylor, the cute girl that works there, bent over backwards to not only find the gun we wanted but to hold it for me and give me a really good price. The 2^nd purchase was a mint-​cond subgun that was about ½ price what it normally is. Yes, I was very happy.
Ammo prices are reasonable and the staff is not «in your face» (I hate that) but available upon request. They also have plenty of accessories and other goodies and even throw in free sodas for the kids.
Yes, I stop there whenever I’m in the area to see what’s up on the wall or just say «hi». I recommend it.

Every time I go into AJI looking for some random, hard-​to-​find item that none of the other shops have, they have it.
Staff is responsive to answering questions, and usually quite knowledgeable.
The guns are priced fairly, the accessories are CHEAP, and the ammo is priced fair for the market they are selling it in. They always have ammo available; because they charge a little more. If you’re not wanting to buy 30,000 rounds for SHTF, you won’t have a problem with an extra $ 0.50/box so that you can take your kids shooting every now and again without lining up at walmart at 4am to get ammo.
It does get a little busy, but that’s the price you pay for going to the best shop in the area.
In short:
Great service. Good prices on most things, fair prices on everything else. Lines can get a bit long, but it’s worth the wait.

AJI is «ok» — It is really the only place of its kind in this area, so I do go there once in a great while to look around. I have purchased a couple of small items, but that is about it — Although the selection is huge, the prices are on the high end.
It is almost always busy, so be prepared for a wait if you have a question or need assistance. They have few employees for such a large shop, and most of them are in a seated position the times that I have been there…
The last time I was there they had an older gentleman at the cash register — He was very slow, to the point that people were leaving their purchase & walking out. Kind of surprising that a business of this magnatude is unable/​unwilling to get more help and more efficient help.
Parking behing their shop is a bit of a pain, especially on the weekend — If you are driving a large vehicle, you might be in for a challenge!
Lastly, there is a TON of stuff within reach of little hands, so it really is NOT a kid-​friendly place. Kind of a shame in this day and age — Seems like firearm-​related businesses would be catering to «families», etc. YES, parents SHOULD supervise their children appropriately, but the way this place is laid out, it is just a disaster/​lawsuit in the making.
Just my .02 cents.
