Visited for some range time with a newbie, had been a while since I had visited here. The gentleman who helped us knew I had not visited in a long long time and that I had a first timer with me. I wish we had been informed that the range would be shut down 20 minutes before closing. So after waiting 15 or so minutes after arriving for them to finish up with the person in front of us and the range closing 20 minutes before 7 i basically paid $40 for 40 minutes of range time. A little frustrating, however the range was very clean and the people were nice.In Response, Not positive on the check in time there. Regardless, the announcement that the range was closed was made at 6:40 because I looked at my phone. We fired 1 more shot and another announcement was made that the range was now closed and to not fire any more shots. Not sure who was working but you might review this in the morning. I know we came in pretty close to closing time but felt like we had almost an hour and a half to be told the range was closed 20 minutes earlier than we expected was discouraging. Anyhow, you take care as well.

This is a terrific range and gun store. Staff is very knowledgable and efficient. Gun selection best in town and ammunition, although shortages are here, are generally available for use in the range. They do a GREAT job of allocating ammunition so its available for those wanting to practice in the range rather than letting a few people buy it all just to hoard it at home. Highly recommend this range and store!!

Made my first gun purchase here, waited forever holding a number only to see other customers without a number getting helped, went home to research my firearm only to realize I had been charged over $200 more than the actual value (no ones fault but my own). But this establishment lacks integrity from customers skipping other customers with numbers just because they know each other, to knowingly and willingly ripping someone off, what happened to ppl at the gun store helping you find what’s best for you versus what is best for their pockets . DO NOT GO YOU WILL BE RIPPED OFF

If you want to learn how to shoot and develop the correct habits for safety and the accuracy needed for self-defense, the Gun Zone is for you! The class tutelage under Mr. Jerry Johnson is invaluable to learn this skillset. Plus, he makes the class so much fun!We could have spent the whole day training with him and absolutely will be booking more classes.

Purchased a gun, attended a CHL class with Jerry Johnson and he did an awesome job. Hes very professional, knowledgeable of his craft and personable. He and his wife made the class very enjoyable. I highly recommend his class for all.

During my experience at the gun zone I went in to purchase my first gun but was unable to due to the lack of proper customer service. I read the reviews and did not take heed to the negative reviews but I should have. The workers are flat out rude and the manager is self centered and only cares about his store and not the customers and their complaints. As I went back to read the reviews I noticed that the manager goes back to negative reviews and reviews as a fake profile. In the picture posted below you can see the manager replied to a previous customers negative review in an attempt to be another customer who was satisfied. This is poor managment and would NEVER recommend this gun shop. 0/5 star review - please consider another gun shop before ever coming here and spending money.

Best customer service I ever experienced in my life time, thanks to Mrs.Momma and Mr.Kevin. Mr.Kevin is a great sales men and even better mentor than most older guys. You guys should check him out if you ever need any help with firearms, magazines, ammo or just about anything you can think of. Kevin is your guy....All the other staff members were very friendly and helpful. Nice crew...

I just got into guns recently so I’m new to the experience of buying one. I purchased one from this place before and a lady helped me who was very helpful and had tattoos. My second time though, I wasn’t as fortunate. I came in to get help and the service I received made me feel unwanted. There was a gentleman around 5’9 with a beard who initially was suppose to help me but as soon as I asked to purchase a gun that’s not displayed I received an attitude and he just walked away from me. After not being assisted for 15 minutes another gentleman around 6’2 with tattoos approached me asking what I needed. Once I asked him the same thing he became sarcastic and walked away as well. I asked because the displayed gun looked blemished. The question was simple yet they made my experience very difficult and uncomfortable. The two were very arrogant and seemed as if they didn’t understand the importance of building trust with clients within a business. Terrible.

Terrible service they don’t care about helping customers at all! Can’t even shop around unless you throwing money at these people. Then you don’t get to even buy ammo unless you use there range which is a separate charge even after I just bought a new gun from them! Never doing business here again! There over priced as well!

Update: Just got the SKS back. The gun smith rabbit eared the front sights and ground down the bayonet lug and rod holder. Looks great. Did a great job. Worth every penny.However, some of the face book groups on SKS felt I defiled it. End of the day, it turned out great. No regret. Some people are just opinionated.Very helpful gun shop. Love the gun range, ammo selection and gun selection. Never had a bad experience there.

Horrible service. Horrible service. Horrible service.Walked in on Father’s Day and they had no clue what to do. We waited over 1 hour in line outside to find out they skipped over several people and help people that just walked in.The one guy who’s name I belive was David was rude and looked as if he never helped a customer a day in his life.Went to another range up the road and got great service without attitude or issue.I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS HORRIBLE PLACE WHERE THEY ALL LOOK SHELL SHOCKED AT ANY QUESTION THAT DOES NOT HAVE TO DO WITH “how much is this gun?”.

Review №21

Rudy is great! I brought my rifle in to have the barrel threaded, muzzle brake put on, and scope mounted and my experience was awesome. I received multiple phone calls from him updating me on where he was at with it which was great. The muzzle brake that he originally recommended was backordered (bummer but it happens), but rather than buying a lesser product and throwing it on, he called me and explained the situation, gave me a couple alternative options, but also gave me his recommendations as if it were his gun. I appreciate that they were looking out for the customers interests rather than just trying to move as many guns in and out as they could.. and I was happy to wait the extra time for a better product. The Smith work was exceptional as well. He could’ve just bought a brake and installed it as is, but he shaved the brake down to match the diameter of the barrel and coated it to match the finish of the barrel and let me tell you.. it matches perfectly and looks like it came straight from the manufacturer.Overall it was a great experience, and I appreciate the attention to detail and quality work that I received. I highly recommend using him for any gunsmith work that you may need!

Great staff, very helpful. DJ even sighted in my rifle free of charge for the love of the hobby. The range is very simple, approx 20 minute interval cease fires to walk down range and set a new target. All paper targets 25,50,100, and clay shooting ranges for shotguns. 5 stars if there were other shooting options.

Review №27

I bought a gun from The Gun Zone at a gun show. Took it to the range and it was not what I was hoping for. Took it back to the store to see if I could arrange a trade for a different gun. I knew I was going to lose money on a trade in but I was hoping for a good deal on a new gun since I was still buying from The Gun Zone and my used one was still in great shape. Short version: I was treated fairly and walked out the door as a satisfied customer with a new gun. Thank you.

Great selection of firearms/ammo and an awesome staff! Steve and Holly are always on point with excellent service and are a great source of info if you have questions or need recommendations. I became a member 2 years ago because of how impressed I was when making my first purchase from Steve on a harder to find gun they had in stock. Have made several purchases since then and will continue to make the Gun Zone my #1 stop gun shop. No pushy sales tactics or gun snobbery here – Just great service from great people who want to ensure every guest has an awesome experience! Thanks!

!Dangerous practices! Responsible gun owners do not get hight then go to rangeResponsible range owners do not rent out the range to high people and put other in DangerMaybe it was just the luck of the day but I was going to go to the range and upon arrival to the range there were some individuals in the parking lot smoking marijuana I proceeded inside the gun Zone to look around and buy mags and ask about gun range prices as well is get some practice in on the range I sighted not to after the fellows that were outside in the parking lot smoking marijuana decided to rent a handguns on the range they smelt heavily of marijuana and yet they still leased out the range very dangerous!

I took my gun in for sight replacement. I didnt have any luck finding them at local big box stores or on line. The parts were ordered and installed in half the time quoted. The first conversation I had with the gun smith went well. He even asked when I needed the gun. The gun smith called me to tell me the gun was ready and was very professional. He answered any and all questions I had. Overall great job and experience that exceeded my explanations.

Review №36

I’ve been a pretty active member here for a few years, I’ve purchased 3 firearms here and some accessories. I bought a nice light for my Sig 320 which they installed. Steve, Greg and Jack are usually the ones that help me but everyone I’ve had contact with has always been helpful, respectful and engaging. I like doing business with people like this! I also recently had a problem with a gun I purchased from them and instead of making me ship it back to the manufacturer Gun Zone was able in this case to resolve the issue.I know that they did NOT have to help me...they did anyway! So, 5 stars...! One more thing to notice, every other customer that walks in while I’m there is met with the same great service and respect....sorry, but there are lots of “gun snobs” out there...they just don’t work here! Everyone here has always been helpful and friendly..So, yeah..you may find the same firearm online and save a little cash...but that savings is swallowed up by service at this local gun store....if I had purchased one of my guns cheaper online and had any issue...there would have been a long delay and no savings...we might need toquit obsessing over $40-$50 and go support this local store and enjoy the relationship that far outweighs savings a little cash...️

Prices are fair, staff is friendly and helpful, range officer is knowledgeable and respectful, owner is attentive and involved; that’s why I spent well over $900 on my first visit and 3 hours here.

After waiting 40 min to go inside, a couple jump the line & went in was kick out. I called to complain, expecting no more than an apology, they took ownership for kicking me out & hung up. After 4 pistol purchases, numerous range rentals, me & my group are done with them.

The Gun Zone is my new favorite place. The staff was polite and very attentive. Their knowledge of products, and willingness help was very appreciated. Ive been in other stores where the staff never acknowledged my presence after 20min of me entering the store. When I enter a gun store,my intent is to buy something. Im not a window shopping kind of guy. The staff made me feel as if we were lifelong friends. My experience couldnt been any better,especially since it was my Birthday. Gun Zone is my new spot.

I have bought 3 guns in the last 4 years from these folks. It’s always a pleasure! Price is right, selection is good and the staff is genuine, friendly and knowledgeable. The process is always quick from background check to checkout. There’s simply no need to go anywhere else in the Dallas area. I’ll always be back as often as my budget allows.

Make sure you get all parts you were promised before you purchase your firearm. I purchased an ar15 was told they could not find the rails but would order them from Ruger first thing Tuesday morning. After 2 months of going back and forth, and several trips to talk to the sales man in person. I get my rails they are 2 inches long, they drilled them to fit the rifle and just screwed them on. I was told i would be receiving Ruger rails and got the exact opposite. This place is a joke.

My wife and just spent 2 hours at the range and we had a blast (no pun intended) the staff is friendly, knowledgable and willing to answer any questions. This is my new gun store, and speaking of guns they have a nice big collection of handguns and long guns. If youre looking for they probably have it. Bored, grab your guns and ammo and go to the range, if you dont have one they have a nice selection to choose from, unfortunately no desert eagle 50. Highly recommend this store.

Will not be returning to this place. The only reason we ever went there was to deal with Rudy who is our gunsmith but after my last encounter with the awful lady who works there I will not come back. I came in to drop off my husbands gun to have some work done on it by Rudy and they ignored me for about 6 mins and then i heard Holly tell her coworker to go clear the little girls gun who is standing at the counter. Now mind you Im a grown woman but not a huge deal breaker. Her attitude the entire time I was there was horrendous. I left and about 30 mins later my husband calls and tells me its ready to be picked up. I had told my husband about the incident and he said something to Rudy which in return got back to her. I came back in to pick it up and she confronts me about what I said to my husband and calls me a liar and the entire time Im waiting for my gun she is making snarky little comments. Rudy does absolutely great work and I recommend him to anyone who needs a gunsmith but I absolutely do not recommend The Gun Zone to anyone who is looking for decent customer service. The way I was treated is certainly not how you treat paying guests. My husband and I are extremely disgusted!!

Big thanks to Rudy! Rudy is the gun smith they have on staff. I called with a timely need before I flew out of state. Someone else had told me that i needed a new firing pin due to some misfires on my hand gun and that i would need to order parts online and it would take weeks to get everything in place. But Rudy was able to get it shooting like new without ordering parts turns out i had a bad spring and needed a deep cleaning and the cost was a lot LESS than what i had been quoted by another company. Nonetheless Rudy delivered 3 days before my deadline and I couldn’t be more satisfied. Thanks again these guys know there stuff!

Unfortunately, I have never been to their physical location, but I found them at the Premier Gun Show in Houston. They had a MASSIVE selection of firearms, and out of all the vendors there (30+), they were the only ones who carried the piece I was looking for, the CZ Scorpion. The two gentlemen I spoke with were very polite and helpful, and I really wish I got their names to give them credit. One was a black gentleman and one was white, both a little heavy set, no offense intended. The checkout was very satisfying as well. Even though it seemed like they were the only vendor at the event to have a waiting line for purchases (they acquired far more business than others), they took care of customers rather quickly. I was 6th in line I believe and was walking away with my newest baby in half an hour. Thats nothing at all to complain about. The two ladies there who were handling the transactions were very polite and on point as well. Unfortunately again, I didnt get their names, but they were cute ;-) Im basing this review solely on my experience with them at the gun show, again not at their actual store. But from my interactions with them they will DEFINATELY be my first stop if I ever see them at a gun show again, or on the off chance that I will ever be around Mesquite. Highly recommended for all the right reasons.
