I have purchased a number of firearms from this shop and the staff is ALWAYS extremely friendly and helpful! The staff armorer is very knowledgeable and willing to share his knowledge. All in all a good place to do business!

Decent amount of inventory for a smaller shop. But what they lack in inventory the make up in customer service. Prices by far are some of the lowest in the area. Transfer fees are definitely the cheapest. I've all ways been treated good, and never felt like I was being a hassle.

Walked into this dump, JUST kidding. One of the BEST Firearms Stores I have ever been to. Drove over an hour to do a FFL transfer with another Non FFL customer, it was for an H&K VP9L cause, Wick Stick, Murica, and I felt like it.
All and I mean ALL the Staff we genuinely kind, warm, authentic and for what? $25-40 bucks whatever their fee is for a transfer? It certainly didn’t leave a bad taste in my mouth and I’ll just say that the other gentleman that I was purchasing that used firearm from and utilizing DOA as the legal representative to handle that we’re not all certain we say, and they didn’t get treated like crap none of us did, in fact, a few months later when I went back to begin the process on receiving my suppressor, they were nothing but helpful and genuinely down-to-earth easy-going guys that answered many questions.
The shop overall, the inventory, the layout, the selection and the hospitality and overall attitudes and behaviors were very professional in my vast experience of retail and Gunshop specifically.
The way I look at it if I don’t know something about a subject then I can ask some questions and then using a filter I can then proceed to receive information and then check that information with more knowledgeable person number two and three and four and then cross reference at all, and then form an opinion about a subject might even come out educated and more enlightened, and Better firearms user so I’ll just say that these guys were very informative and this is the important part for most people honest to a fault because they did probably about $300 worth of gunsmithing on site for me while we went down the street and got Chinese food, which I highly suggest, and I came back to a 300 blackout rifle and my Glock 19 set up with the newest hollow sun competition site on it, and I practically had to leave the money on the counter to even tip these guys. I apologize for not remembering your names because you all look the same that’s a joke by the way……crickets, ok then well moving forward I’ll be here all week folks. But seriously, these guys are dedicated top-notch honest and you know I think maybe some of the bad experiences people had is because they forgot that they’re dealing with another human being and I don’t know. Maybe everybody was just having enough day or maybe mercury was in retrograde I don’t know, but I can tell you these guys lead me through the entire process of form four for individual and, even helped me navigate through some really unpleasant occurrences in regards to the inventory that showed up in their shop for me another seller who will go and say do not use, you know what the Lord don’t like ugly just be careful who you do business with whether that’s buying a pork tenderloin a car your kids education next set of lingerie for your wife and definitely when it comes to firearms if you want honesty and top quality and I mean, high-end quality with good customer service go to DOA arms. OK I’m done recording now guys. Can I get that 20 bucks? guys?…..c’mon you guys…you promised!
Crickets again? And who!? …..who threw the freaking tomatoes?? Un believable:) .

Great store, even better team. I've done a few FFL transfers and also purchased from them directly and they've never disappointed. Super knowledgeable and patient staff. They're always willing to answer questions and offer their honest and transparent input. Great selection of accessories and firearms at competitive prices. I only wish they were open at least a few hours on weekends! ?

This is the only gun store in Hampton Roads that my wife and I buy our firearms from.
We've purchased several over the years and the employees are always helpful, friendly, and very approachable. You can ask questions without worrying about the employees being smug or condescending back to you, which is a problem we've encountered at other shops in the area. Often times when we do buy, I'll have my sons with me, and the shop will usually give them stickers or snacks which is always really appreciated.
Prices are good and the variety is always excellent. This shop has a better selection of weapons than any other store in the area by far, which is one reason why we like it so much. If you don't see what you're looking for, just ask, chances are they've got it stashed in the back somewhere.
I can't recommend this place enough. Consider them for your next purchase!

Seller used DOA to ship my item to me and the team at DOA did a fantastic job! Super fast shipping and I’d probably be a regular if I lived in Virginia Beach!

Picked up an item here for the first time yesterday. Matt and Josh were great. Quick, efficient transfer. Will be using this FFL for all of my firearm needs.

Awful experience. I had an order coming in from GunBroker at the beginning of June, I heard online that DOA had cheap transfers so I selected them. I called them beforehand letting them know and specifically asked if they needed any more information from me, to which they replied no. The rifle got there about a week later and I went in to pick it up the same day after work. The employee I was speaking with was extremely condescending and before I even had the chance to fill out a 4473, I was told I was too young to have the rifle transferred to me, despite being legally permitted to. The employee cited a store policy prohibiting them from transferring any type of weapon to adults under 21, which was never disclosed to me even after specifically asking if they needed any info from me before shipping the gun. After over a month of back-and-forth over what to do with the rifle (since the seller didn't accept returns) I ended up paying to have DOA transfer the gun to Freedom Outdoors where I was able to have the gun transferred to me with no issues at all. Overall, I had a terrible experience with DOA, not only because of their unconstitutional store policies, but also because of the attitude I was given by the staff. The dog was cute though.

Great dealer. I have done several FFL transfers here, they are first rate. Their fee is the lowest in this area. They have a gunsmith on site, who I needed to change out a part in a Glock. He wasn't on site that day, but since it was a simple fix, one of the sales people took care of it for me, gratis. They've earned my business, the next time I'm in the market for a firearm, they'll be the first place I shop! Highly recommend.

Super quick service. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Made a call to check inventory and got confirmation of the item I wanted to purchase. Gave me the price over the phone. The price was right. Walked in. 20 minutes later I was unboxing my new firearm at home. Couldn’t ask for a better experience from a firearms shop.
