A place to start for beginners. Purchased an MP9 ez that was defective out of the box. (defective trigger). Diagnosed by a professional & Repaired @ factory in Springfield. Outrageous cost ($$$$) to store your firearms. Located over a bank…Main St. ???

Had the privilege to take my Utah CFP class with Mr. Dennis Doti. I can't say enough good things about this gentleman. Drove from Quincy, MA to his business location in Uxbridge (about 1 hour drive) and will happily do it again and again and again. Folks go visit First Defense Firearms, it will be an outstanding experience.

Dennis at First Defense went above and beyond to take care of me on Christmas Eve of all times. Although he was closed for the holiday he actually came in, and opened his store in order to accommodate me, so that I would have what I needed for Christmas. Who does that these days? Nobody but Dennis that's who. Once again I want to thank you for everything. This is where YOU NEED TO GO for your firearms needs!! He's knowledgeable and obviously cares about his customers. Thank you again Sir there aren't many people like you left in this world ??

The people behind First Defense Firearms are refreshingly personable and courteous (which can be a rare thing amongst some gun shop owners). I had never shopped here before but first called to inquire on some of their inventory. I was pleasantly surprised at Dennis taking the time to answer questions and engage with me on the call. So I then took a 50 minute drive out to the store and was shocked to see that he was NOT price gouging his inventory during an industry-wide shortage of supply. (I always want to support the small business first but can sometimes be forced to support chain stores when you experience this type of practice.)Dennis was straight up about his pricing and thoughts on the customer service he strives for, which includes not fleecing patrons even when it might benefit him to do so. He expressed how he truly strives to pass along any savings he can find to his customers (as I saw firsthand and had also learned about a separate sale with another customer).Between the helpful and grateful attitude of Dennis and his staff, along with this seemingly small but significant act of integrity, I will certainly be coming back to support First Defense Firearms in the future.Dennis and company – please keep up the great work and I hope your business continues to prosper!

Dennis & Team are an educated staff that over-delivers. Couldn't find a P365MA or ammo anywhere but First Defense Firearms. Now they are helping my wife find a comfortable carry. Awesome, local, small business.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️My husband and I both took our LTC basic firearms course with Dennis and we cannot say enough great things about the course and Dennis himself! He is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to firearms/ safety and teaches his class with such pride and efficiency! He’s very interactive and makes the class fun! I went in knowing absolutely NOTHING about firearms/safety or how to properly handle them, after his class, I already feel that much more comfortable handling a firearm! I HIGHLY recommend taking this class with Dennis at First Defense Firearms! Him and his team are the BEST! Thank you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I took my LTC Class at First Defense Firearms and it was a fantastic all around experience. He was very knowledgable, fluent, and passionate about what he was teaching. I highly recommend First Defense Firearms and look forward to buying my first firearm through him and his (family owned) business.

Great experience with the LTC course. Dennis was a wealth of information on basic firearms handling. Eased any tension I felt being my first time ever handling a pistol. Staff very nice and knowledgeable as well. Spent time one on one and didn’t rush us. Will definitely go through his other courses when able.

Dennis and his knowledgeable staff are in my experience the best in the area, if you're considering purchasing a firearm for the first time, this is the place to be! You will be knowledgeable enough after your LTC course to feel confident in owning a firearm in Massachusetts, weather it be for sport, or PP, you have come to the right place!

I'm a first time gun owner and have been searching high and low for ammunition so I can actually go to the range and practice. With the shortage, it's been tough to find. I'm glad I checked out First Defense Firearms today; not only did they have what I was looking for, but they had magazines for my firearm, and a fantastic looking selection of just about everything else. I believe Dennis himself was who rang me out (noticed the left side holster) and I can't say enough nice things about the transaction overall. Definitely going to be my go to for supplies going forward. I suspect I was gouged by my last supplier, but not this time. Thank you for being such a wonderful asset to the community!
