“Jody’s women’s to intro shooting course was just what I needed. I was literally scared to pick up a gun and never shot a gun before; but after her instruction and by the end I was hitting my target with accuracy and even helping others determine what they could do to help their shot!
If you are worried about handling a gun, even if you don’t anticipate carrying one, you should know how they function in the event you need it to save your life!
I can’t wait to get back on her range to shoot!”
“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.”
“The personnel were helpful, their discount jeans are a good value... I hope. I wandered around the store while waiting for an appointment nearby and my impression is that the store is a bit cluttered with merchandise, though with Christmas around the corner having a lot of stock on could be a good thing. What I did find that was annoying was the lighting, the store is dim. The shelving to the right of the gun counter, the location of hunting etc supplies, NEEDS more light. Overall the store needs to rethink its lighting, it is poorly lit and made me reluctant to look closely at their stock.”
“I took a chance on an out-of-state dealer I'd never dealt with before, and they earned my trust completely. Fast receipt and tracking, answered every call, and delivered exactly when they said they would, no small thing on a purchase this size. I'd buy from them again without hesitation.”
