Cherokee Gun and Pawn

They always have what I’m looking for in regards to firearms. Prices are fair but non negotiable on new product. I highly recommend you try them prior to visiting any of the big box stores.

Once again this is an update on CGP. I went to 4 different gun stores in the area and once again they had the BEST prices on AR’s and Ruger 10 – 22 over anyone hands down. They continue to offer great service with all there staff who is extremely knowledgeable. but now that they have Chris working there… I am extremely happy. Keep up the good work and good prices with all your products.

I’ll make this simple with pros and cons, then a comment:
Pros:
Good selection for small shop
Workers are knowledgeable
Ammo is a fair price
Cons:
Bigger guy is a bit of a d-​bag at times, moody like… you know.
No haggling. Apparently the owner thinks he’s hyper important.
Close at odd hours, like this is someone’s hobby.
Basically, I bought several guns here, and a fairly expensive laser rig for a pistol (Stay away from Veridian Green Lights.) So, put gun in drawer with laser, unfired. Sits for a month, and when I show it off, laser sputters and stops. I take it back, and they send it back to company. I get new laser, same story. Month later, laser sputters. Gun is STILL UNFIRED. I take it back, they send it for repairs. I get it back a third time, same story. At this point, I say, «How about a refund, clearly at this point they have a quality problem.» Now, keep in mind I spent 4 or 5 grand in about 2 months… Bigger guy (Let’s call him… Dick) says, «Sorry, we’ve done all we can do. No refunds.» Then just dismisses me. I press the issue, and Dick gives me some mumble, ignores me, and that’s it.
So, in summary: Don’t expect service beyond «Allowing» you to shop there. They will answer a few questions to make a sale, but again, this place opens like it’s a hobby for guys that couldn’t get solid work elsewhere. If it were a gym, they’d be the lunkheads.
On a pleasant note, a smaller gentleman made the effort to try and fix my problem every time. He wasn’t condescending, nor did he think working at a country gun store made him important.
Anyway, know what you want, go buy it, and leave. You’ll be happy. Just don’t buy accessories here because you’re totally going to get treated like you have a virus if you take it back.

I was there this morning to get my G2 from GunBuyer shipped to CGP as my FFL, much gratitude to CGP for not asking any fees even it took some leg works on their side doing background checks & all… Kudos to Jimmy, Connor & David… ended up buying 100 rds 9 mm lugers and an uplula mag loader to repay their kindness!

Called ahead of time to see if they had a pistol in stock. The clerk assured me «they had plenty».
I drove 40 miles to get to the store, waited for an employee to finally notice me and the very polite gentleman tried to help me out. He could not find the pistol and another employee asked what I was looking for and I told them. They said «we just sold the last one today», but we will have PLENTY in sometime later. WAIT, WHAT? I JUST CALLED SO YOU WOULD NOT WASTE MY TIME AND FUEL. YOU COST ME MONEY.
SCAMMER BAIT AND SWITCH. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE.

I pawned my iPad they used it access to my Gmail I know this because my wife’s tablet alerted me they also tore a piece of my OtterBox of course they denied it but Google told me they accessed my Gmail from my iPad while it was in their possession I think this is criminal

[Time & Date of visit]: Multiple weekend afternoons
[Party Size]: 2 – 3
[Location/​Ambiance]:
Location: The shop shares a driveway entrance with Napa Auto Parts, and right before it is Canton Tire & Wheel if you are coming from the exit.
Tip: For some reason Verizon cell phone signal just drops here. I think this must be a dead zone or something.
Parking: Weekends, usually the lot is pretty crowded on their side. Not helping are those with «bro-​trucks» I feel. But usually we haven’t had any problem parking on the Napa side of the lot.
Inside: With the busy weekends, this place can feel a bit cramped in this very small shop. Most of the shelves are dedicated to firearm related products and ammunition. There are a few things that might be pawn related items. But as soon as you walk in, I feel that they’re primarily a gun shop first and pawn shop, way way way later.
Selection:
They usually have most kinds of ammunition calibers in stock, with various round counts. I’ve seen 50, 100, 250 rounds sometimes for popular handgun calibers such as 9 mm and sometimes .40 caliber. 223 and 7.62 calibers vary. Some various types of shotgun slugs are also available. Ammo brands vary but usually Remington, Federal, and Winchesters are the norm.
Some of the brands they carry are Glock, Springfield Armoury, Kimber, Ruger, Smith & Wesson, Sig Sauer, I believe I saw Spike Tactical one time, Taurus, Keltech just to name a few. They also have used guns but mostly just popular brands such as Glock and Springfield Armory; primarily handguns.
My cousin even picked up a Mosin Nagant WW2 era rifle here and good condition for the low low.
Pricing: Some prices might be average depending on the brand and/​or model, such as in the case with the Springfield Armory XDM and XDS lineup. Other times, they are matching internet prices such as when I purchased a Ruger ¹⁰⁄₂₂ takedown. Every gun show I attended wanted at least $ 340 – 50. Cherokee was selling it for $ 280 and an extra magazine. Ammunition is about average.
Tip: I don’t think they update their website much. But they do list weekly deals on their facebook page and Black Friday deals are very good.
[Service]:
For anyone who does any firearm trading/​collecting on Georgia forums, they’ll let you know that Cherokee Gun & Pawn doesn’t charge for a transfer fee for guns /​firearms purchased online. I think that’s a big plus, cause I feel that a local shop is helping out, so why not buy some more stuff from them while I’m there.
And just saying it cause it’s already there, this part of the woods doesn’t always cater to say… other minorities. Though I have heard comments of bigotry from other customers, I applaud that each person working the counter has always treated me fairly and with respect.
{Summary}:
Cherokee Gun & Pawn is the type of local business I would recommend anyone that has time to drive the distance to check out their firearm and accessories selection. I also like to frequent their sister store, Forsyth County Pawn. They aren’t a big shop, but their prices are fair to great on deals, it just depends on what you are looking for. Support local business!

Best price around on a Ruger SR22. Very impressive service. Definately helpful and friendly staff which is uncommon for a gun shop.

Really impressed by the pricing, cheapest place for a KSG shotgun, by 15% over about 20 others. Have gotten great advice and been happy with them, just wish they would update their web sites and have some specials to check in on at times.

This place is great. Friendly service, knowledgeable people, and outstanding prices. My wife traded a gun for a gun and the transaction was smooth. Good prices, good service, what more could you ask for?

Couldn’t have been more impressed. Got referred here by some good friends. The place isn’t located anywhere fancy however do not judge this book by its cover. Walk in and its guns-​galore. I came in on an afternoon weekday and they were pretty busy. After a few minutes I got helped out by a nice employee who answered all my questions on a 12 GA H&R pump shotgun they had. Steal of a deal at $ 160 brand new. Bought a couple cases of shells and snagged a sweet laser + flashlight combo which he cut me a deal on. He even installed and aligned it for me while I waited despite the crowd. I walked out spending $ 220 bucks with a rocking new shotgun.
Bottom line, the value was there, the service was there, and I got exactly what I wanted at a price I was more than happy with. I normally balk at crowded stores but for only waiting a few minutes, it was well worth it. I’ll be back for more.

Found out about them from shopping Aim for Lowers and they do free transfers. That is just the beginning. These guys are great. I have done several transfers with them and have had such a good experience that I always try to spend some money in thanks for the free transfers. Jimmy is very knowledgeable and has helped me with several questions about builds I’m doing. I used to shop the huge store on South Cobb drive but they have lost there way and forgotten about customer service. Cherokee Gun and Pawn has not forgotten about the customer and does not make you feel stupid for asking questions.
Great selection of guns and suppressors as well.

Feel free to «shop around» if you’d like, but Cherokee has never failed to beat the pants off of any other price for firearms… especially new, popular guns that you can’t find anywhere else (not to mention they’re always in stock). In addition, these are the nicest people you will ever meet, and considering this is a pawn shop where guns are sold, you have to agree, they are one of a kind. I drive from Atlanta just to go here, and I would even without the price difference.

Same experience as most others. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Been there several times (driving all the way from Kennesaw to shop there) and would go out of my way again. Bought AR lower, ammo, and many other accessories. And they do free FFL transfers.

Went to this store on a Saturday, and it was packed like sardines. They have a decent inventory and their prices aren’t too crazy. What was strange was that when we were there, the owner called and told them employees that they were to not let anyone else in and they were to just run the applications for gun purchases the next day and tell people to return. It was so strange that even the employees thought it was crazy.
I watched as at least 30 or so people drove into the parking lot and were turned away at the door. When I left and drove to Hi-​Caliber, all these people had simply went there.
Why would you close at 4, and then turn people away?

This is a gem of a gun store. Not the largest, but certainly one of the most friendly and economical. Was referred here by a friend and it has proven to be a place I will certainly give my business to. They’ve saved me money on magazines, loaders, ammunition, and firearms compared to other stores and even Internet pricing.
They are honest, typically have things in stock where stores further south are ravaged, and are genuinely helpful and and pleasant to do business with.
Highly recommend!

I’d read good things about these guys on several forums — good prices, friendly service, etc…
Well, it all turned out to be true. I drove up from Roswell to do a firearm transfer as they don’t charge a fee. Most places are $ 20 – 50! It was well worth the drive. I’d pay more in gas than a local fee just to do business with a small company that truly believes in service and building its customer base! I was treated better at CGP when I was spending ZERO money than most places spending $$$$. They make you feel right at home.
Because they were so nice I did buy some accessories, which were well priced I might add. I would have paid more, but it was sure nice not to! I’ll make the drive back to these guys for sure. Oh, and make sure you check them out at the local gunshows. They attend regularly. you’ll find they have some of the best prices there too.
