FYI to everyone, this place had its FFL license revoked on August 18, 2022 by the ATF themselves. The FFL revocation PDF document is publicly shown with a Google search & it even shows that Henson was already in trouble with the ATF. Henson still works here creating stuff that WILL make your public range staff harass you. Already getting around HB6667 now using fixed mags & overpricing them when you can get the un-frankensteined versions WITH unrestricted capacity detachable magazines in free states like Florida for just $1000 is ridiculous. When "others" were still around, other shops had AR "others" for around $1000. But $2000-$3000+ here is a rip off. In fact, I was ripped off here big time. I bought an MP40 "other" here back in 2022 & between the ATF's brace rule & Lamont's HB6667, everything went downhill. These guys never tried to help get the MP40 sold on consignment because they were more focused on figuring out how to get around HB6667 & when HB6667 was being voted by the Senate, they only gave me $100 back when I paid $1400. The staff kept giving me excuses & even attitudes like the “oh well, sucks to be you” type. Do business here at your own risk. Looking on their Instagram page shows they already have fixed mag AUGs, AKs, etc that I bet are significantly overpriced and again as soon as you pull them out in a public range, the staff are going to look at you funny or even harass / detain you. Don't be surprised WHEN, not IF, Lamont goes after fixed mags next & now you have to pay a few hundred dollars again doing paperwork and fingerprints under a time limit registering your frankensteined fixed mag toys as "AWs."

Went in with a desired gun and some ideas. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Talked through a number of scenarios to get exactly what I wanted. Digital fingerprinting and atf form submissions. Not the easiest to find, but completely worth it.Tired of the usual stuff you find in your LGS? Tired of counter staff that just want to sell you something and move on? This is the place to go.

Best selection of custom CT legal firearms, extremely knowledgeable staff, the lowest prices on firearms anywhere in Waterbury! These guys stand by their products. If there is any issue with your purchase, just bring it back and they will fix it, NO CHARGE!!! They will answer all your questions about firearms and CT gunlaws! You can't get this type of one on one service at any other gun store in Connecticut. They also have flexible Lay-a-way plans. There was one customer that put a lot of money down on a gun, had family issues and they returned all of his money on the spot. That customer came back 6 months later, purchased the rifle he wanted and then one more. Top notch!!!

This place is the best place in CT for your firearm needs. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable. I built a custom CT other AR style and they insured that it was fully legal. Their inventory is well stocked and they had the miscellaneous parts on hands to make it legal. Additionally a staff member caught and fixed a problem that could’ve been critical to me. The staff here go above and beyond and felt like family.

Best Gun Store in CT. Just got an RPA-17 ZPap85 and love it. Such a great selection. By far the most options of any store in CT. Was able to select based on many options and they swapped out the handguard on the spot.Good people, great store!

This is a real gun store. You want it, they will get it or make it. It’s not your cookie cutter, Walmart of guns like most other stores. Nitty, gritty and they know their stuff. Excellent selection and great atmosphere!

The mad Smith at Red Planet Arsenal is the best that CT has to offer. Not only is he a mad lad genius with huge PP energonz but he is quite possibly one of the largest contributing factors to holding our ground with our right here in CT.
