Gun Shops in Summerville, SC

“I have purchased (10) pistols and a shotgun from Allied Arms since moving to the Lowcountry in 2018. Allied Arms has excellent inventory. The sales folks are helpful and knowlegeable. They will do everything possible to help acquire the gun and accessories you want. Subscribe to the web emailing list for specials, and all the new inventory and ammo on sale.”

“I have been going to Amchar since they opened. Dominic and now Angela have managed the best store in South Carolina. Staff is always friendly and helpful with zero pressure to make any purchases.”

“I went here Sunday afternoon because it was on my way for some errands. My intention was to visit the range but while I was there I checked out the full store. Store has a massive fishing section, a ton of apparel for both fishing and hunting, and a very complete selection of firearms, gun parts, ammunition, etc. As you expect from PSA, prices are rock bottom in the store. The range was nearly identical to the one in Columbia which I have been to many times. Clean and well-maintained, and a separate rifle and pistol area (much appreciated!). Carrier systems were easy to use. I was in the mood to try something different and they had an H9 for rent even though it's so new that the website for it says "coming soon" still! (Yes, I rented it.) Prices on range time, targets, rental and range ammo were are very reasonable. The staff member I interacted with was friendly and knowledgeable. So how did all of these positives end up at only a 4 star rating? This range, like the PSA range in Columbia, has a ventilation system that is super aggressive, and the targets hang from the carrier with no backing. As a result, the targets actually blow around a little bit. We can make some points that perhaps this is going to be helpful to train against a slightly moving target, but at an indoor range it's my expectation that the targets be very still, and here they just aren't. If PSA either tones down the ventilation or can keep the wind levels in the lanes to a low enough level that the targets don't move, or just provide cardboard backers (like C&S in North Charleston does), this would be a big help. The other issue I had was that there is no hand washing station near the range. At best you can hike to the other side of the store to get to the bathroom to wash up after shooting. It's a bit annoying. I'm not sure how much plumbing they want to run to solve this minor issue, though again, C&S compared very favorably here. J.Ja”
