“Charles and his son are great. Very Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Pricing is Competitive and Fair. Will definitely be my go to for any future firearm related purchases.”

Do not hesitate doing business with them!”

“I’ve been to several shooting ranges across New Jersey, and I can honestly say that Guns For Hire stands out above the rest. From the moment you walk in, the staff is friendly, professional, and welcoming. The facility is extremely clean, well-lit and very well organized, which makes the whole experience comfortable and safe.

Everything you need is right there whether you’re practicing, training, or just enjoying time at the range. The atmosphere is positive and respectful, and it’s clear they take pride in maintaining a top-quality facility.

Because of my experience here, I am strongly considering becoming a member of the range. I’m also looking into taking my concealed carry permit course with them.

If you’re looking for a professional, clean, and friendly shooting range in New Jersey, I highly recommend Guns For Hire.”

“Definitely worth stopping in. Keith and Chris very helpful Definitely know there stuff. No pressure to buy (very hard not to) there are just happy to explain why beretta great. Amazing experience.”

“Stopped by place for some info/quotes and learned something, (actually quite a few) new things from the gentleman behind the counter, whose name unfortunately I can’t remember off the top of my head, but was definitely very helpful, nonetheless!!! This is an “old-school” vibe shop, and other people posting reviews mocking the gentleman for smoking a cigar are probably not man enough to own/ or even operate a firearm.”

“Edit: checkout the store owner’s reply to my review to see what you’re dealing with. Like I said when I walked into your store: I’m new to this and would love some advice if you’re able to offer it. Doesn’t seem like you were willing to offer it because you decided I’m a democrat (?). Could’ve just said that. Not my fault other stores didn’t educate me. Again, if my lack of knowledge was such an inconvenience, maybe just have a sign saying that unlike your competitors, you’re not willing to help beginners figure things out. That way we don’t bother you. Thanks again for what little advice you did offer. Wishing you the best and updating my review to 5 stars because you seem mentally unstable (given how you’re talking to customers online), and I don’t want any trouble.

Original review:

I’ve been getting into the hobby and trying out different stores in the area, prioritizing the small businesses. I was really excited for Mike’s Gun Shop, especially given the amazing reviews.

What a disappointment when I showed up in person and was made to feel like an absolute inconvenience for having the audacity to need help figuring out what I needed to purchase.

Not sure what I did to upset them within 2s of walking. Anyways- that was my experience. Maybe I caught him on a bad day but I shouldn’t be on the receiving end of that.

Will stick to Bergen Sporting Goods, Louie Gs, and Longshot.”

“My company has been using this facility for over 10 years. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and patient. I have personally referred hundreds of clients there to purchase firearms and will continue to do so. Thank you for being a class act!”
