Loudoun Guns

Ive been a customer toward Loudoun guns for several years now, and one thing that Ive learned in the gun industry is one simply philosophy. Knowledge is power. even if I don’t purchase anything when I walk in, someone is always ready to walk me through the mechanics of a weapon, user friendliness, and legality of carry. deducting one star for high prices but besides that I highly recommend.

I have been to LG several times over the past few months, purchaed an M&P .40, the service and information provided was excellent, very patient, knowledgeble staff.

Maybe luck or recognized as previous client but the feel and friendliness have improved here. They have a great selection and the staff was eager to assist on both days I visited this weekend. Definitely a improvement from previous experiences at other VA stores!

They have a decent selection of firearms and accessories. Their prices are quite high. The service I have received here has been suboptimal. I often have to wait 20 minutes to even be acknowledged by staff members. A few of them have been quite arrogant in fact. A couple guys in there think they are Eugene Stoner and John Browning reincarnated. I’ve purchased about four guns there over the years (including a Nighthawk Custom) but always leave with a lousy taste in my mouth. The last time I was in the sales person told me he would call me when they received a new line of firearms that they had ordered. I never received a call. If they dropped their prices a bit and lost a few arrogant employees I would give them 3 or even 4 stars.

I walked in here today and felt compelled to update my review. The prices here are ABSURD! $ 40 for some beat up GI mags? $ 25 for a pmag? It’s not 2013 anymore. Apparently nobody told them.
I needed a riser for an AR sight. The only one they had was a screw down one, nothing fancy, for $ 125.

Stopped in to check on availability and price of several items. The guy who waited on me, who appeared to be in his late teens/​early twenties and had a peach fuzz mustache, was arrogant with me. He wasn’t a complete jerk, but he took this arrogant tone in answering my few questions. He seemed annoyed to have to wait on me for all of five minutes. I decided to save him the trouble and try a different store. No plans to go back.

Great selection of guns. Bought a glock from them with no hassle. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. They’re not push offs like most gun shops. I go there frequently and I’m always confronted by friendly staff members. So, I definitely recommend checking this place out!

Made my first visit and purchase to Loudoun Guns this weekend. Been looking for a Colt 45 stainless government model 1911, and when I went in they had that and several similar 1911s! Ended up buying the Colt after handling a few things. The staff were all super friendly and knowledgeable. Not at all pushy. The transaction was very quick (though I’m used to doing all the background check paperwork by now).
I had done my research online and the price LG had on the gun I wanted was slightly lower than anything I could find even on Gunbroker. What I bought ended up being a used model, but it was in ridiculously good shape. I bet 200 rounds haven’t even been fired through it before. They have a really good mix of new and used guns all in great shape and reasonable prices (handguns, shotguns, etc.). Their AR assortment, however, did seem very pricey compared to competitors in the area.
The selection of accessories and ammo was great, but the ammo, while comparable to competitors, can always be found cheaper online if you order in bulk.
Overall, very happy with LG thus far. The only real improvement I would recommend to them is that they update the store to have a more modern look and carry a more intriguing selection of rifles… a whole big chunk of the store is just like meh looking hunting rifles that you could find at Dick’s or anywhere. Seemed like LG has an identity crisis between whether they want to be for personal defense/​shooting enthusiasts or hunters, which aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive but I think in a lot of cases it is.

I just purchased my first firearm here yesterday! I was immediately greeted when I walked in the store. 3 different people asked if I needed help. Nate answered every questioned I had and offered suggestions and additional info. Never pushy. Very happy. Reasonable prices. In and out in about 30 minutes.

Still hands down the best place to browse a fine selection of fire arms and apparel!
Staff is always awesome and willing to help you out!

Stopped by the store since they’re local and noticed that the prices were higher compared to some of the other local stores in the Northern Virginia region.
The store’s layout and accessory selection also seem a little outdated compared to the competitors as well (not as well lit, some of the holster selections were meager, very few optic selections, etc) and the place didn’t seem very modern to cater to their primary customers compared to say… NoVa Armaments, Virginia Arms, or even Blue Ridge Arsenal. It screamed «typical gun shop» that you would see at a small town in Pennsylvania or something.
Can’t comment too much on the staff, but they seem nice, however I wouldn’t recommend this place to my gun enthusiast friends.

Made my first purchase here today and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Contrary to what some reviewers have said, LG had a better price on the firearm I wanted than most places online.
Andrew also helped a friend of mine who was in the market. Talk about down to earth and patient – certainly more welcoming than many gun shops I’ve been in. Ask for him when you walk in.
Loudoun Guns is definitely worth the drive to Leesburg. I’ll be back here in the future.

Great store. I’m located in Fairfax, Va. Not too many local stores I’m happy with. Mostly due to the small selection. However, Loudon guns have the largest selection I’ve seen, friendliest staff, and during my first purchase, I was able to negotiate a price on a new m11a1.
I’m leaving this review because it makes me sick when I see Unilocal reviewers bash Unilocal ratings because of «high prices.» If you can’t afford quality self defense ammo, go to Walmart with your stingy ass. I am also I small business owner and it makes me furious when I get bad reviews solely due to the «high prices». Anyways, sorry for the rant, as far as pricing goes, I may have found a new m11a1 online for maybe 100 dollars cheaper, but shipping and ffl fees probably would have brought it to the same price. When comparing the m11a1 to other local stores, loudon guns had the cheapest final price so thank guys.
My only complaint with LG is: I made my first layaway purchase here. They told me I must pay in 30 days so I said let’s do it. They made it seem I could pay, take it home, and complete payment within 30 days. What really happened was, they took my downpayment, had me fill out paperwork, then they told me to come back within 4 days if I wanted to avoid filling out paperwork again. This surprised me and I was forced to leave a little disappointed. My advice: make this a little more clear to future customers and don’t have them fill out paperwork if you know they want to put it on layaway. Sorry if this was just a noob mistake by me, which is also very possible.
Anyways, great store, great service, and great selection. Highly recommended!

Went to Loudoun Guns on 3÷8÷14 to find a firearm for my girlfriend. We got there when it opened and spoke to a wonderful salesperson named Lindsey. She was both patient and knowledgeable and showed various firearms for my girlfriend to hold and see what felt right. She ended up buying a Glock 19 gen 3.
Then it was my turn, I wanted to look at a Glock 23, S&W M&P Shield .40, and a S&W M&P 15. Again she spent her time going over each of the firearms and showed me the basics to field stripping the M&P 15. When it came to the shield, she showed me a few other options for a concealed carry option and then showed me the extended magazine for the shield which made holding in my hand so much better.
I ended up buying all 3, and a few hundred dollars in accessories. The prices seemed decent to me, though I will probably buy ammo online. Everything else I will buy from Loudoun Guns because to me their customer service is above what I have seen from other places. Lindsey spent pretty much 2 hours with my girlfriend and I though she did take care of some quick sale customers which I totally expected and was ok with.

Been in and out of here a few times over the past few weeks. Was in the market for a new pistol and wanted to do some research and test firing before I made the purchase.
On the first visit, it took a little bit before I had someone ask if i needed help, but after that they were great. He showed me several pistols within my price range and even made a few suggestions I hadn’t thought of. I eventually settled on and purchased a Springfield XD40.
I found the ammo prices here to be a bit cheaper than I’ve found elsewhere. I was able to pick up a box of 100 .22lr rounds for around $ 13 and a box of 50 .40 cal rounds for $ 20. To compare, I had found the same ammo at another store for $ 15 and $ 33 respectively.
The selection is big, and what they don’t have, they’re willing to price and order for you. This was my first Virginia firearms purchase, and I’ll be making all my future firearms purchases here.

Ive been back three times and the staff has been awesome. I met the owner this last time. Great service and good prices. Highly recommend.

I think Loudoun Guns is OK for what it is. I’ve been to much worse and I’ve been to much better. Several of the guys there know there stuff and I’ve seen an Asian sales guy be incredibly patient trying to teach a woman the «tap, rack and pull» method on her shiny new semi-​auto (that she would have been much better off with a revolver, IMHO)
Prices (especially the ammo!) are higher than average but at least you’re not buying new, old stock at the Dulles Gun Show. Been burned there too.
Agree with posters that the ammo is crazy expensive but for that I would absolutely buy at the gun shows.
I would pick Loudoun Guns this over Blue Ridge Arsenal or Gold Eagle which are geared MUCH more toward law enforcement and in Northern Virginia… there is a LOT of Federal, State and local law enforcement.
The only exception with the other two is that they have a good indoor range and a gun smith on site. I wouldn’t trust Loudoun for custom work. Loudoun guns would do a rousing business if they somehow could build such a facility.
With the run on gun sales, virtually every dealer I use /​know is booming. They are flying off the shelves. People are buying guns out of fear and I am no exception.
I think LG is an average gun dealer. If the lowered their prices, I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I give this place a consistent three stars. Selection is excellent, staff is friendly and helpful and guns are generally priced right.
Ammo is stupid expensive, and most is tactical ammo. Hardly a place to buy practice rounds for the range.
Good neighborhood gun shop and I try to help the local economy when I can.

The Mister had been looking for a Springfield XDM for several months. Recent events had spiked demand and he’d been laughed at by most of the gun shops in Northern Virginia. We’d avoided Loudoun Guns due to their reputation for exorbitant prices and bad attitude. However, the Mister was getting desperate after more than six months and finally broke down, calling Loudoun Guns. They had a single XDM in stock. While they weren’t thrilled to hold it for the 30mn it took him to get there, they did it.
The Mister tells me the price was fair — high, but just as high as everyone else in NoVa who even has the weapon in stock. Service was quick and friendly. The Mister described it as one of the more professional gun shops he’s encountered in Northern Virginia — and I think, with a visit to Loudoun Guns, he’s hit just about all of them.
Did it help that he probably ‘looks like he’s on his way to hunt’? Maybe. If so, apparently the special handshake at Loudoun Guns is a camo baseball hat.

My husband and I decided to check this place out despite the negative reviews and we’re glad we did. We were impressed with the selection here compared to another shop in Chantilly and were treated great even though it was Christmas Eve, the store was crazy busy, and they’ve seen demand go up in the past few weeks. Lots of models were sold out, but the staff was knowledgable, helpful, and down-​to-​earth. The prices were reasonable despite the spike in demand/​decreasing supply compared to the gun show. We’ve bought two guns here, one of them being relatively hard to find. Prices are average, but overall the staff is friendly. And even though their receipts state that all sales are final, they’ve gladly exchanged accessories or given us store credit without any hassle on multiple occasions.
