Great selection and good prices. Staff is super helpful!

slow and inefficient and rude. Will not come again

This review is only about the West Coast Armory shop, not the gun range. The range is great! But, man...If you asked me to review the West Coast Armory shop 6-12 months ago, it would have been a 5-star! But since around the holidays, this shop has gone way downhill! The store used to always be well stocked with guns, ammo, and knives, but lately, when I go there, the selection of firearms, both new and used, is pretty bad. Things are spread out to make it look like there's plenty of stock, but it's just not the same. Over the last couple of years, I have been a very dedicated customer who bought all his firearms at WCA with great service and confidence. I've even sold some back to the store knowing that I would get a lower price than a private sale, but the store was always as fair as possible and made things easy. Recently, I tried to sell some of my gear (that is always in top mint condition) and the manager refused to make an offer on any of the guns I wanted to sell. And these aren't really out of the ordinary guns (H&K 9mm, Colt 1911, etc). It used to be that even if something was not totally mainstream, that I'd still likely get an offer but maybe a bit lower than usual. This time I walked out of the store feeling embarassed with all of my items in hand. I went to other local shops after this and had ZERO issues with selling my items. I will no longer support West Coast Armory's store for my purchasing needs. The range is still amazing, but the staff and the store has gone down! Sad.... UPDATE/RESPONSE to reply on 5/24: At no time was I told you were pausing the purchase of used guns because of a remodel. I was given "interesting" reasons why you wouldn't buy each piece. Nothing ever about "we're not buying anything used because we're going to remodel." And now you're gonna give a discount code using my name and last initial??? That's just weird. Please change that!

I don't normally do Google reviews, but reading some of the negative reviews on this store's page motivated me to set the record straight: this is the best gun store/shooting range in Western Washington, absolutely no question. Knowledgeable and professional staff, a range kept to the highest standards of safety, extensive class offerings by knowledgeable instructors, and a curated selection of firearms and accessories. I've been to two dozen different gun stores along the Pacific coast and this is the only one I really trust. The only way this shop would be better is if they had a dedicated shop dog to greet customers.
