Gun Effects

This place is freaking amazing. It has won over my business. I used to go to turners, Bain and Davis. And online e-​com. You pay a TAD bit more then other places. But no money can amount to the knowledge you leave with when you leave this place. Being a responsible gun owner takes more than money. This place will give you that. Thank you Dennis, Alvin, Robert and other staff!

Justin, Robert, Alvin, super awesome guys!!! can’t go anywhere else. They give you service and fact about what you need, no run around BS. Small store but competative prices, and they will teach you, never intimidate you like Turners or elsewhere i’ve been to.

I’ve been coming to gun effects for quite some time now, and never once have I been disappointed. They have a great selection and great staff.

All I can say about is the Super friendly staff! Any questions you may have they will answer for you. They have a wide selection of firearms, from pistols to rifles. The accessories section is quite small but they carry mostly the main accessories for your needs.
My story, I already knew what I wanted. I asked the sales rep to see a particular item, asked a few questions and I was already done with my purchase. Will come here again!

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I walked into Gun Effects at first. When I was buzzed through the locked barred door, I was greeted right away. The store isn’t large and the selection is somewhat limited but this is an efficient little shop. This may have quite possibly been the place that has been the most efficient but also the more relaxed gun shop in regards to the atmosphere. It’s not like a hospital waiting room that most other gun shops feel like. I walked in to conduct a Private Party Transfer (PPT) with the thought that the process would be sluggish like most places (PPTs are done by appointment here) but the employee behind the counter knew his stuff probably due to processing so many. They had already conducted several PPTs when I arrived at 13:00. I was in and out of the store in half the time it would take at places such as Turners Outdoorsman. Picking up was even faster. The guns were a bit on the pricier side as was the ammo but the staff was, fast, professional and personable.

This was my first time purchasing from Gun Effects. Justin was the sales rep that assisted me throughout the transaction. He was very professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. It was clear that he was taking the time to make sure all my questions were answered. Justin offered exceptional advice, tips, and other facts that helped me make a decision. The end result was a purchase of a Glock 22. On the day of pickup, I was assisted by Robert. Robert was yet another excellent staff member that went above and beyond. He was very professional and efficient. On the day of pickup they were busy as hell and Robert still managed to take care of all my needs and questions.
Bottom line? Gun Effects offers a wide range of firearms & depending on what you’re looking for; many are set at competitive prices. Most importantly, Gun Effects provides a level of customer service that simply won’t be found at other locations. I will definitely be back!
Heads up; Prices differ between cash & credit! Do not forget to bring cash as it’s the only way to go.

Gun effects is a great place to have in the neighborhood. There selection is very extensive and there staff have always been knowledgeable. I have not purchased a gun from them yet but I have done a few transfers there. I plan to buy one soon. Also it’s one of the only places in the area that sells hunting licenses if your into that sort of thing.

Great place. staff very knowledgeable Alvin and Robert are great always there to help either on phone or in person. Going back there today

Had an FFL transfer for my rifle here and it went very smooth. Super chill and approachable staff. Prices for their services are fair. Coming back to get my husband’s lower receiver transferred to them again. Keep up the good work, guys!

This place is a hidden gem !!
Thank you to Robert and staff for assisting me with an issue with my edc. Looking forward to returning and giving more business.
I highly recommend this place ! Excellent ammo prices as well

I love this place i habe purchased many guns and tons of parts and lowers and anything else i may need…
Very good customer service these guys know what there talking about…

I just bought my first gun from this place (Glock 17). I asked the guy at the desk (Tony) which helped me come to a decision to get the Glock 17.
The day I went to pick up my gun, I decided to go to the range that night to test out my new gun. I happen to bump into tony at the range and he took time out of his day to personally show me to properly handle my new gun. Cool guy.
Great service, wonderful staff. Would definitely recommend.

Prices are too high. Every time I go here there is no one there… makes me wonder how they stay in business???

This place is great I had called about 7 different gun shops to see if they could order me a Smith & Wesson 500 with a 4 inch barrel 5 of them pretty much laughed when I asked the sixth said he might be able to but it would be a 30 to 90 day wait if he could get one so I was on my way to that shop when I found gun effects on Unilocal I called spoke to Alvin he checked and said he could order it and that there were only 2 available through Smith & Wesson. A week later it arrived just what I ordered!

After seeing how long the line was at Turners, I found this place and it was one of the few shops that are open on Sundays. The shop is nicely organized and the workers are chill. The awesome thing is that they price match!

Now that I’m a more experienced gun owner and have bought guns from other places, I feel like I can give a better review of Gun Effects. I feel the best part about Gun Effects is the service. Recently I bought a gun from Turners, because GE didn’t have a specific model of a Springfield Armory pistol I wanted. At Turners, I waited almost an hour before I was attended to. I asked the salesman if this was a busy time, and he said it was slow actually. I don’t know about most people, but I don’t have time to wait to be tended to. Had I not driven out of my way, I would have left. At GE I’m usually acknowledged right away and am attended to within a few minutes. The salespeople are friendly and patient, and most of them aren’t too pushy. One of their newer guys is a bit pushy, but that’s a different story. The staff here is way smarter than the staff at Turners.
One of the things I don’t like about GE is the credit card fee. At Turners I can use my Amex and there is no extra fee. Also, GE rarely has sales. Turners had a sale on the gun I wanted, but I didn’t go out of my way to save $ 30, I went there because they had the model I wanted. Also, I discovered that most other gun places don’t practice open carry, but that’s not a necessarily off putting for me, but now that I think about it it’s kinda weird.
Bottom line is that Gun Effects treats you better, and has better staff.

Too packed. Long lines. Waaaaaaaaaaay overpriced. Horrible service. Only interested in selling to the uneducated minority.
Also do not agree with the political rhetoric they share with customers. And I feel unsafe with them carrying side arms. They are civilians, not cops. Smh

Two stars is Meh, I’ve experienced better and well, that’s true. It’s like 2.5 stars. I would not recommend this store for people that don’t live close and here is why:
Prices: On the surface of things, the prices seem good. They also price match local stores too which isn’t bad. List price for things however isn’t any better than others. On top of that you need to look at the two prices listed. One is for Cash price and the other is for credit card price. At this point prices are going to be more than the other local places where they don’t charge you for using a card.
Extra 5 dollar fee: State Fees for DROS is 25 dollars. On the receipt, the background and paperwork is 30 dollars. That means there is a 5 dollar fee for them to sell you a gun cause they need to do paperwork…
The hired help: They are cool guys.
Why I go back? It’s close. It’s close enough where the convenience is worth it which I don’t think should affect my rating since distance of where I live should affect ratings. But I will say that if I had to make my last purchase again I would have gone to the other store that had it for the same price and get my points which is an extra 1% cash back without the extra fees…

Tienen un buen surtido de todo lo que busques precios muy accesibles y el personal muy amable y atento con todas tus preguntas y nesecldades que tengas

Very nice shop, with an excellent selection. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. When we said we just wanted to look around, they left us alone and let us wander (some shops treat you like you’re looking to steal something). They were always available to answer questions on various things as we had them.
The only reason it’s not five stars is the pricing is a little high. Not totally out there, but more than I expect to pay on many items.
They have a great selection of standard items as well as quite a few unique/​high end guns.

Bought my 2^nd gun here. Everyone I’ve ever spoken to in the shop is very helpful and not a gun douche. Turners was having a sale and Gun Effects price matched for me.
Remember to bring cash
