“I recently purchased a beautiful example of a smith & Wesson model 19 , while negotiating with the owner I noticed a mangled roll pin in the box along with an aftermarket grip , the original grip was on the gun but slightly misaligned . & I realized that pin was the grip locating pin . When I got home and did a thorough cleaning and inspection I was correct . Called Sam he had one and saved me a trip back to the house to install it , as he installed it for me ! Fantastic !”
“I've been purchasing, selling, shooting firearms for very many years, and have completed transactions all around the Pittsburgh area. There is no place I'd rather spend my money than Island Firearms.
I've read some reviews here that I can assure are flat out null and void.
Particularly the review of the individual who had the FFL transfer issue and claims a $20 overcharge.
Call and ask specifically about the FFL charges for transferring and receiving firearms.
Receiving shipped goods and simple P2P transfer are very often treated differently, priced differently, and for good reason.
Either way you do it, it is fair, and the most inexpensive place in the Pittsburgh area.
I've purchased multiple firearms, fishing gear, traded in firearms for others, sold firearms, made P2P transfers, P2P purchases and sales, and never had an incident or negative experience.
Wayne is a good guy, knowledgeable, and helpful.
Understand that managing a small business is difficult.
Being afforded the luxury of utilizing an FFL for receiving firearms purchased outside of the store is detrimental to the sales of the shop itself, and certainly not a channel of business that is making anybody rich.
If you do it a number of times, you realize the value of it, and should understand that if your tracking information says the item has arrived--that doesn't mean that the owner of the shop should drop everything, grab YOUR package, and work on paperwork and processing stuff through their system.
Selection is great--you can also order an incredible array of items from the new online store.
Go check them out.
I am in no way affiliated with Island
Firearms, just a happy customer.”
“Eric is a phenomenal and knowledgeable instructor. He caters to everyone’s needs and learning styles without showing frustration. His gentle nature allows you to feel calm and collected before entering the range, allowing you to focus on everything that was taught in the classroom. Eric is someone I would recommend to anybody whether you have none to a lot of gun training. I took the women’s only basic hand gun class today and left with immense knowledge and passion to return for private lessons. Thank you Eric!”
