Merritt Island Gun

Great store and prices. Easy ffl transaction. MILITARY FRIENDLY AND RELOADING SUPPLIES=my kind of store! Everyone that bashed them on google is an uptight ahole and knows nothing about a «real» gunshop.

This is a great gun store with great custom service! They are very knowledgeable and carry a very wide verity of guns and accessories, along with cleaning supplies and tools.
They are very patient, and will help in anyway possible.
If you want to talk to someone who is very passionate and knowledgeable about guns, ask for Zach. He is an amazing help and will go out of his way to show you anything.
On top of all this, they are cheaper than most gun stores in the area, and unlike BH gun store (who wait for their dealer to ship them a certain size of shipment), they will order your desired gun and have it in a short amount of time.
Overall, very pleased with this store and would highly recommend it to anyone!

Shopping is like going over to a friend’s house and scouting out their gun collection. Dave runs a small but tight ship. He is extremely well versed with anything about guns, affecting gun ownership, gun rights or history of guns. I gave him only a four only due to the size of the shop; it does limit his selection, but I feel that is deliberate. Clearly he is not into high volume sales. Dave is more focused on matching you up to your INDIVIDUAL firearm needs. He’ll either try to acquire the weapon, or as other reviewers criticized, refer you to who does have what you are looking for; to me that’s customer service. One thing I take great offense is when you ask a vendor about where you can find a product you want that they don’t have and they respond with «I don’t know.» That is insulting and foolish since you couldn’t get my sale due to not having anyway, but now risk future sales due to questionable integrity. Dave will direct you to where you can get what you need; that is what keeps me coming back. I value integrity and have grown to trust his advice. In so far as him treating you like you don’t know about guns, it’s quite simple. If he doesn’t know you, he doesn’t know your gun acumen, so he will survey and assure his and other customers’ safety with making sure unfamiliar people handling weapons in his shop (of which insurance probably will hold him responsible) are aware of proper handling and understanding of a firearm. Yes he «chew’s the fat» with friend in his shop, it’s his business model. I have been in there enough times to notice he will greet first time customers when they walk through the door. He also is astute and respectful to the reality that most would rather walk around looking at things without the feeling of the proprietor hanging over their shoulder and respects that. You want a large on-​hand selection of weapons, then pass this vendor by? You want good prices on any in-​stock or ordered weapon, then you come to the right place?

Let me tell you why I’ll never enter this store again. It’s a rather small store and I think they have lots of guns and accessories.
I entered the store and the owner was talking with a local friend of his… I waited patiently at the counter while waiting for him to finish his conversation. This went on for way too long, so I checked his displays of handguns. He had exactly what I was looking for!
I waited a while longer for him to stop laughing and joking with his friend while he was ignoring me. After a while I got tired of waiting to be acknowledged by the owner/​clerk and started to walk out. My hand was on the door handle when he stopped BSing with his friend and asking if he could help me… DUH!
I then asked to see the handgun I wanted to buy and got the full idiot treatment as if I had never handled a gun before and with a tone of condescension that I was surprised that he would treat a customer in that manner. After a very few minutes of this treatment, I told him that I didn’t want to waste any more of his time and walked out.
You couldn’t pay me to enter this store again! Great customer relations… NOT.
