- WRWilliam RIegleNov 5, 20255.0Carson Armory is a great Gun Shop for me to purchase gun related accessories and firearms! Eileen and James are very friendly and very helpful without some of the attitudes of some big box Carson City stores! They have a large selection of firearms ,new and used! Stop by, you'll be glad you did!
- TKTrevor KolbusAug 20, 20255.0Great shop, I recommend them to anyone in the area looking for firearms or accessories.
- GGGHOSTSep 4, 20231.0One of the worst gun shops I’ve been to , owner makes you feel very uncomfortable and stares at you until your out of the store and very unhelpful with questions to the firearms to feel’s like a very tight click even if your a native to Nevada they treat you with the least amount of respect and very ill knowing about firearms
- LBlmbear bearJun 6, 20225.0I went to Carson Armory for the first time last week. I found a rifle I liked and bought it. When I came back to pick the rifle up, Eileen told me I could add more, since she had the paperwork for the background right there, if I wanted and I found another nice rifle I liked, so I bought that one too. They were very fair with their prices, the reason I bought 2 from them. And very polite and respectful and willing to help. I also like their inventory. For a small store, they have a lot of good things, even some AR parts, a lot of holsters, scope mounts and some ammo. I'll keep coming back to Carson Armory, even though I live 150 miles from them. If you like looking at older guns, like I do, this is the store for you to check out. They don't have a huge selection, but what they did have was nice quality stuff at decent prices. Thanks again to the Carson Armory staff. You guys are great!!!
