Bought a new rifle there recently they have a good selection. Went back to get ammo, guy says see the girl even though he was standing there doing nothing. I waited over 15 min. why she was helping this guy who apparently just bought a gun he wasnt buying ammo. Finally I got disgusted and left. Fine way to treat someone that just spent $1000 dollars there when I could have bought the rifle for $100 less on line. They have a very indifferent attitude. So much for giving the local people the business. Girl has attitude also.

I will never go into this place again! I was treated with such rudeness and out-and-out contempt over something that was the owners fault. I parked near the front door. Looks like a regular parking space. No yellow curb, no loading zone or no parking signs. I went inside. A clerk was helping a customer at the counter at the other end of the store. The aftican american lady behind the counter where I came in got up from her desk and just looked at me. I frinally asked, Are you sales help? She pointed at the front door and said, I am the owner. Is that your white car. outside I said yes. She said, You cant park there. I get deliveries all the time. I said, Well it would help if you put a no parking sign or somtthing there. How was I supposed to know? She said rudely, Most people can figure out they should not park there.. I said, So, you want me to go back out, move my car, and come back in, and there is nothing to indicate I should not have parked there in the first place? She then got outright confrontational and said, Dont argue with me. I told her, Oh, dont worry about that, I wont argue with you. You just lost a customer, and she said fine as I turned and walked out. Customer relations means nothing to her, apparently. She does not deserve the support of the community she serves, in my opinion.

I am very happy with the firearm I purchased. Everything from start to finish went smooth. All of the staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and fantastic! This was this first time I had bought a gun and was so glad that they took the time to answer my questions and to explain everything. They truly went out of their way to provide more than expected customer service. This a great place with great people. I definitely recommend this shop.

While the staff is very helpful and kind the owner is the complete opposite.Dont apologize if you cannot actually put some kind of emotion behind it.Cannot speak to the selection of equipment... refused to stay any longer than I had to.Best surplus store within 50 miles, probably because its the only one?! 🤷‍♀️

Everyone at this store is extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. I’ve purchased several firearms from them and have always been very pleased with their price and selection. If they don’t have it in stock they will get it quickly at a competitive price. I highly recommend Apocalypse Arms!

This place used to be great under the old ownership. Id give it a zero now if I could. Prices are bunk, selection is weak (even before all this b.s.) and half the staff is terrible. Dont waste your time.

Ive been to this location several times and have no complaints. The owners and staff are great at conversing and are always be interested in what they do. This store offers plenty of military and military-like items for decent prices. Like I said, I have no complaints and like the fact that Sierra Vista has such a store.

I have shopped here since they 1st opened. I was glad to see when they expanded into a larger space as their inventory grew. However, I personally have not been to thrilled with the change I have seen over the last 6 months. Although the staff is friendly and inventory good, the prices have sky rocketed. A gun I bought out the door for $375, a month later was $425 before tax. I try to support local business but also want a decent deal. I can save $50 and support local businesses by walking across the street.

Perfect as always. Ran by people with discipline and common sense. They generally have what youre looking for and if they dont theyre likely to obtain it for you ASAP, OR present to you something else equal or greater and worth your while. Shop is straightforward and no one haggles, hassles, or blows smoke. Theyre knowledgeable and its very easy to feel comfortable in there, as if theyre extended family you didnt know you had. Simply love this place

New to AZ. Apocalypse Arms was my first proper gun store visit. And what a great first impression. Greeted like a long lost customer. Did not have a CZ75 in stock but ordered it in for me. And at a great price. Arrived fast. Staff remembered my name on next visit. They were clearly knowledgable and keen to help.This will be my go-to store from now on.

Placed order for a coupe firearms, did paper work ect.. they never processed it. Also asked for ammo that I received, got home and wrong ammo was in the bag. These guys can’t handle pressure.Understand that times are stressful for people selling guns . Trying to be understanding about it, but after thinking it over decided they lost my local businessNot the first firearms I bought there, but for sure the last I will ever buy from them

Review №24

Apocalypse is the perfect example of how to run a business. You are greeted with a sincere smile and a firm handshake. Jim and his entire staff are very knowledgeable and always willing to help. The new store is well stocked and the prices seem reasonable. In the highly unlikely event that they cant help you, they have no problem referring you to their competition who might be able to. All of this combined is how you keep customers coming back.

Descent assortment of used firearms and really good assortment of military surplus items. Friendly staff, fair prices, reasonable well kept store. Fun to see glimpses of the past through military surplus items. Lots of military memorabilia on display (not for sale) is fun to look at.

Great people who really know how to treat customers right. I’ve bought a lot of stuff in Apocalypse and will continue to do so. Jim and Kara are great people who work hard to make sure you get a great deal and are 100% satisfied. Daniel is very knowledgeable and can answer just about any question you may have. They really have a first class staff. Selection is great too, lot of good stuff no matter what your tastes are. If you haven’t been by the store yet do so. You won’t regret it.

I own a lot of firearms and have been to countless gun shops. This one is outstanding! I was treated like a long-time customer the first time I walked through the door. Genuine customer service, guys who really know firearms, a great selection to choose from and sensible prices. I bought 2 guns from them and will be going back again the next time I need something. Cant go wrong here... by far the best gun shop in town.

I visited recently with my husband. I had read the great reviews and was curious, so we headed to Sierra Vista for a little day trip.This is the best military surplus store I have ever been to, hands down. We were not looking for anything certain, but we ended up with an awesome gently used rifle, a book, a patch for our sons new cap, and quite a few medical supplies. While the weapon was an amazing find, I was thrilled to finally find a map/chart holder. Ive been looking for one for ages but no one local has had one. Score!The owner and staff are courteous and know their business. Whats more is they are down to earth and clearly enjoy their work and interacting with customers.We will be back. Its worth the drive from Tucson.

Amo boxes!The owners are friendly and helpful. Also, your fellow customers, are pretty cool.I was once in there and a Sheriffs Deputy said, is that ticking I hear coming from your back pack?If your fine with other customers who are not PC, supportive of Law enforcement, the military and our Nation than this is a great place to shop for everything from cold weather undergarments to speed loaders.

Review №34

Superb service. I casually mentioned having ordered new glass for my AR online and an employee (or maybe owner) told me to bring it down and theyd bore sight it for me. After learning that Id never installed the part I was purchasing on a rifle before, the man that helped me was adamant about giving me detailed instructions on installing the part on my rifle without damaging it. It made me feel like he actually deeply cared about me not goofing up my own equipment.

Ever since Jim and Kara sold the business the inventory of the store has dropped off and the new owners appear not to be motivated to restock the normal inventory thats in the store, everything I asked for they dont have and dont know when theyre going to get it, and it seems like their attitude towards it is very weak so everything that they didnt have I had to go online to buy it, I wont be going back to that store again

Review №59

Excellent, friendly service from owner Jim Adams and his staff. I purchased a gently used Sig Sauer P220 Combat with 3 magazines and case for a very reasonable price. Do yourself a favor and go to Apocalypse Arms for your new or used firearm needs instead of the big box stores. I always prefer to support our small business people over the big corporation. Apocalypse has a nice selection of used firearms if you are seeking a value purchase. Firearms are well displayed and store has bright lighting. Also has large selection of military surplus. Ill be back for my next firearm purchase and I live in Phoenix - about 250 miles away. Even if you think you are just looking - get off the internet and go see the store in person.

Ive visited numerous surplus stores around the country. This is absolutely the best! It has an ever changing stock, its not just piles of musty old uniforms. There is gear here for every level of customer from soldiers needing to replace CIF to preppers or survival enthusiasts. The firearm selection is great and trustworthy. If theres anything you need and cant find just ask. The staff is knowledgeable and personable. Ill often just drop by to say hi and see whats new.

Ordered a pistol online and used Apocalypse Arms as my FFL transfer. Friendly staff, excellent selection of firearms at a reasonable price, and lots of quality accessories like holsters and cases. I spoke with one of the owners who related that the military surplus side of their business has been overshadowed by their firearms sales. I think they will give Trailboss some stiff competition.

For being the only military surplus store in Sierra Vista, this place is pretty well stocked. Had to buy some BDUs for my sons Civil Air Patrol squadron. They are phasing these out at this store, but they had a few left. The gentleman at the counter actually went down to their storage area in the back and got us pants.All in all, this is a great store. They have a fantastic assortment of guns, ARs, rifles, and accessories. They stock BDUs and have a pretty good selection of used uniforms.Very happy with this store and the staff.
