If you want great customer service, amazing products, knowledgeable staff, please look no further. Michael and team are very passionate about what they do and it is apparent in all of my interactions with them. They were able to provide a top quality product, accessories, and answer all of my questions. It was a very pleasant experience. There are quite a few gun shops that are local for me, but I chose to drive out to Al Simmons Gun Shop based solely on their exceptional customer service. Needless to say, I will be coming here exclusively from now on. You guys have gained a lifetime customer.

I have never been to the shop itself, but I did buy a used firearm online. I must say that the employees I dealt with were very friendly and accommodating. They went the extra mile to make sure I was happy. They put forth extra effort to reduce shipping costs. I can't say enough about thier level of service. Glad to deal with a business who really cares. A rarity in this day and age.

Been shopping here for some time now, I've always experienced great customer service from everyone at the shop. Everyone is very knowledgeable, informative, and friendly.
Today's purchase was a new scope. I'm incredibly happy with the information I received and the walk through of the scope.
10/10 would definitely recommend!

Came here years ago when I was around 14 years of age.

They had a picture of a "certain dictator" in the window with the saying "do you support gun control?"

I took this to mean that they renounced the over use of goverment interference with firearms and weren't going to become agitated over small and simple gestures.

I had to be buzzed into the store with the mirrored out windows like I was a criminal in prison, and then once inside, it was even worse.

I saw a man in there handling an AR style rifle that was on display over the glass top counter, so I assumed that by being a law-abiding citizen and under the direct supervision of well-armed gun store clerks, and my mother who accompanied me there, that it would be completely permissible that I, as well as the previous patron, would be allowed to handle the rifle.

I kid you not, I rubbed the tip of my left index finger along the foregrip of that rifle before the clerk - young, male, white... almost blew threw the ceiling of the store with excitement yelling at me not to touch the rifle, as if I was some ruffian of criminal association, of which I'm not.

He then proceeded to correct me on everything I said about these aforementioned firearms... I seemingly remember this conversation.

me: "you guys sell assault rifles? I didn't know those were legal in Canada."

Store clerk: "They're not assault rifles, they're carbines"

What in Sam Hill was the point of that?
It's a blacked out carbine of military pedigree, of which we should be allowed to own, but still - assault rifle.

I tried explaining to the clerk that although I was not officially licensed, I was however very familiar with my ACTS and PROVE as I had previously studied the CFSC material earlier. This attempt of explanation was futile and the clerk remained as stubborn as an oak tree.

My point is: if you don't like the totalitarian gun control in this country, then please, for the love of unhypocritical fairness and my God-given right to arms, DO NOT run a gun store.

Edit: I understand that I am under zero obligation to return to this store, and rest assured that I will not.

In closing, I think it's a nonsensical attack on our freedoms that in order to purchase, let alone handle whilst under supervision, a simple, double barrel, 2 shot capacity 12 gauge, we as law abiding citizens need to waste $400, travel to some distant location and then sit through 2 days of extracurricular study just to be approved eligible to purchase a simple sporting goods item.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Al Simmons Gun Store, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. Not only did they have an extensive range of firearms and accessories, but the staff's knowledge and helpfulness truly stood out.

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by friendly and knowledgeable staff who were eager to assist me. Whether I had questions about specific products or needed recommendations based on my needs, they were always ready with valuable insights and advice.

What truly sets Al Simmons Gun Store apart is their consistent stock availability. No matter what I was looking for, whether it was ammunition, accessories, or firearms, they always had a good amount in stock. This level of reliability is invaluable for any gun enthusiast or professional.

Overall, my experience at Al Simmons Gun Store was exceptional. The combination of their excellent selection and the expertise of their staff makes it a top destination for anyone in the market for firearms or related products. I highly recommend paying them a visit.

Great staff, very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. It's also great they have gunsmithing services available as it can be hard to source those locally.
