“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.”
“this place kicks ass, great discounts and have everything you can imagine. its my go to place for golf balls and other golf stuff like brushes tees and even some top tier clubs (a year or two old).
its always pretty empty and staff is always very helpful. I have no complaints about this place”
“Dunhams gets 5 stars simply for having a broad selection of sporting goods available to purchase. I had gone to Dick's next door to pick up an extra PFD before I went to go paddle on the river that is literally next door to this plaza. Dicks did not have ANY water sports equipment or supplies. Absurd. Dunhams was well stocked with what I needed, and presumably a good selection for what others could possibly want. I will absolutely be back here before I go back to Golf Galaxy 2.0.”
“I have purchased multiple guns, new & used, over the years from Jeff. I have always felt confident that I was getting a great price and even better advice. Jeff was always patient and helpful with my numerous questions. I am still far from an expert, but any knowledge I have gained was through Jeff’s assistance. I was honestly surprised by the negative reviews, but after I investigated the authors of said reviews, I concluded that they aren’t often pleased with anyone’s service. Thanks, Jeff!”
“Don't pay attention to the anti gun lobby. This place is a collectors dream. Good people, price's may be a little high, but you get quality products. Where the owner did wrong, is they should have sold the anti gun lobby a black powder. Everyone should learn on black powder.”
“Owners/staff treat their customers extremely well with good customer service, large and veried inventory selection with very fair pricing. The store has that comfortable easy going charm.”
