The store is clean, nice, and well stocked. They even had 9mm ammo. I had to deduct a star because the prices are way too high.

Old man is grumpy and rude prices are crazy high but the young guy is nice enough plenty of guns and ammo but expect to pay giving 5stars because why not wasn’t the worst experience and it’s a small business so hey make your money probably won’t go back but that’s just my choice

Gun prices are through the roof here. The gun I wanted to buy was marked up 25% over MSRP. Im all for supporting local business but not like this.

The staff was very helpful and friendly unfortunately there prices for ammo are way higher then other places around they want $458 for 400 rounds of 223I understand ammo prices are higher but you can find it for $1 a round elsewhere. I would go back from the customer service but be aware that you going to pay for it.

STOP!!!...This gunshop is outrageous! The guns and ammo are way over priced. The service is bad (not the worst). Im not talking a little overpriced I mean like a 700% mark up. Smh Im glad they are here to encourage the community to get into firearms with these outrageous prices. (I have never written a review before but people need to know not to come here!)

Love this place! Great selection of guns and always very helpful and if I order something online this is my go to shop for the pick up! Ask for JR for any questions because he always helping me out! They also stay stocked on ammo so that’s always handy!

Nice people, helpful. Unfortunately theyre the type to take advantage of situations and price gouge. What once cost 25-30 for 20rds of 308 is doubled. The gun community is better than that. Well it should be.

My husband called to get prices and the owner answered and was extremely rude and told him to buy from somewhere else and hung up!! Tried to call back and a lady answered… wouldn’t put the gentleman back on the phone.. he probably shouldn’t be answering phone in the first place

Review №13

Oh they had ammo...at a 300% mark-up. Im pretty sure price gouging is illegal in Texas so Im sure theyll be reported to the AG.

This is a beautiful gun store with a great selection of budget and high end firearms. This shop has everything you need for your gun. Was not disappointed with their selection. The staff was very friendly also.

TSA took my clip for my rifle!! Called and they had exactly what I needed. Thomas held the part until I got there with the last case of bullets I needed also. Thomas was there waiting with them. Nice people and nice store. Sometimes it’s not always about the $$ and what they charge it’s what they really have when you need it!! Called 3 other stores that didn’t have what I needed. Thanks again for saving my hunt

Review №16

A friend and I stopped by for the first time after coming up empty handed looking for 9mm ammo at 2 other places in town. The staff was friendly and helpful. I ended up buying more than we went in for since they had a great selection of ammunition on hand. I will definitely be headed back for more ammo soon.

This store is my go-to place for all of my munitions and firearm needs. The employees are always helpful and knowledgeable. They even take the time to look up answers to my questions if they dont know the answer right away.

Worst gun shop in South Texas, unfriendly and lacking in knowledge or pretend to be stupid!

Horrible customer service, con artist substantially over pricing their ammo, just an all around unwelcoming feel as soon as you enter the store!

Review №20

Another gun shop asking way more than they should for guns and ammo. Its 2020, just use gunsamerica.com and find the cheapest seller. Gun shops artificial inflation markup are becoming worse than used car dealerships. 40$ for a 50 rd box of 9mm is a great joke I heard there but ironically its not a comedy club

Review №22

These people do not deserve your money. Worst price gouging I’ve ever seen. It’s an insult to the pro 2A community and a slap in the face. I understand the concept of supply and demand but their markups are absolutely ridiculous, explains why they have so much in stock. I will never spend a dime here and encourage you to do the same. Boycott these thieves. A few examples.- Primers $75-150/ 1k- PMC 55gr .223 ball $1050/ 1k rnds- Blazer 115gr 9mm $50+/ 50rds

Loved this place, they have a very nice and good selection of guns and ammo amid this crazy times!

Review №25

The employees are great, pretty knowledgeable and friendly. My biggest gripe has got to be the pricing on ammo. I walked in today and saw boxes of 9mm Blazer Brass set for $56/box of 50 rounds. To say a bit over priced is an understatement. For me, it sucks because this shop is the only that has 5.7x28 regularly, but unfortunately its a bit over $40/box of 50 for those aswell. If pricing were better, they would have my business regularly, but with these prices, Im taking my business elsewhere.

Review №26

Walked in asking for a action spring and some 556 ammo no problems fast service in and out. One gentleman was cool talking to me about some nice rifles they had even ask me if I want to see them. Many Ar-15 parts in this store look forward to going back tomorrow!

Review №27

I wouldn’t recommend going here everything is priced up hundreds of dollars not because the coronavirus but because that’s how this store is. The old guy is also rude and hates talking to customers and can’t even answer any questions. The only reason this place has a steady inventory is because no one buys there overpriced guns. Take your money and go to any other gun store in Corpus.

Review №28

Haven’t been in a while but it appears this place hasn’t changed at all. If you need a high quality firearm at a reasonable price with decent customer service.... Corpus Christi is not a good place. Try bass pro or cabelas in a real city. If you simply can’t wait tho, try modern pawn. Texas Gun shop stopped genuinely caring decades ago. So did Academy for that matter...

These guys treat you like you are stupid everytime you call and ask a simple question. Not much better in store. I would suggest going to Nichols or sharp shooter. Take your money somewhere else.

Review №33

They are price gouging ammo. Its $13.00 for 5 rounds of buckshot when usually it goes for $5.00-$6.00. Also had a box of 10 for $30.00 thats $3.00 a round for buckshot. Not to mention they are charging $100.00 for 9mm and 45acp ammo.

Review №34

Horribly over priced and rude!!! Asking $700 MORE than what modern pawn Is asking for the same rifle!! $700!!! When I asked why i was told “cuz that’s what it is. Go to modern.” Would not recommend doing any business with them. There’s a reason they’re the lowest rated shop in corpus.

Review №35

Price gouging, and when called put about it the mans response was tell me where you can find them. $150.00 for 1k small rifle primers. Normally they are $3.99 per 100, they have them marked $15.00 per 100. I will never step foot in that store again and hope this review will encourage others to stay out.

Review №42

Im all for buying local but its hard when theres nearly a 50% mark up on most 9mm ammo. Sharp shooter and modern pawn and gun had the exact same ammo for half the price.

FUNNY HOW THE REVIEWS FOR THIS BUSINESS ARE SO FAR OFF. I WAS TREATED GREAT, LOVED THEIR STOCK, & ENJOYED THEIR HELP. Not only did they meet my expectations they exceeded them in customer service. Great reloading stock on hand. Im from out of town and I have today as a visitor. You guys need to be thankful and support such a nice gun and supply store. They are harder to find these days.

Ammo prices $15 to $30 more, I understand this is a smaller shop but prices now higher due to COVID19. I want to buy local..........just got to help each other out.

Review №47

Always greeted with a smile and have had all my questions answered. Have bought all my firearms from here. If youre looking for cheap prices, dont expect that from a hard working local business. Unlike Academy this place will provide you with real service and knowledge on your new firearm.

Review №48

Would not recommend. Came in a while back looking for a magazine for a hi point carbine and an older gentleman came from the back and started talking down to me saying they don’t carry anything hi point because they are junk. When he left the younger guy working the cash register told me to try modern pawn.

Review №49

Obnoxiously Rude Staff.My Wife and I have been dealing with a particular Gun Shop at Airline and Williams for nearly 27yrs, never an issue. One afternoon while looking for a particular new Rifle which my regular Shop didnt have, I began calling around and found it at Texas Gun Shop.Holding up on our end, I had stopped by the bank and withdrawn the necessary $3,000.00 for this Scoped Rifle combination however, when I arrived all the Staffers were sitting in the back left of the store refusing to answer any questions or so much as get up to show my Wife and I the Rifle I was there to purchase.I felt as if Id interrupted the conversation they had going on and even in asking to purchase a simple box of ammunition, they still refused to get off their backsides.Once again I made it abundantly clear that I was there to inspect for purchase the particular Rifle I had earlier called about. Once again I was denied.One last middle finger was some old man saying I didnt appear to be able to afford the best. On my way back to this philosophical group of fruits, I opened my wallet to show them I meant business and then I promptly left that Loser Lot and went to place the order for the Rifle at my usual Gun Shop, $350.00 less and arrived in less than 10 business days.If you find yourself in Texas Gun Shop, hold on to your wallet and run away, quickly. If I could give them Zero Stars, that rating would still be too high.

Review №51

Stop in for the 4th of July 25% off everything inside. What they dont tell you is everything has been marked up at least 25% to cover the so called sale. Henry golden boy 45LC going for average of $650. They have it marked at $850. Take off the big sale of 25% then tack on tax and your not getting a sale savings. Sale is marketed to get people in the door and play on peoples lack of knowledge to make profit and create so called foot traffic.

Review №53

Went in just to poke around and was greeted by several staff members. Asked if i was looking for anything particular.I asked about a handgun which they didnt have in stock,so he ordered it. Did the lay-away plan. Paid half up front and the other half when I picked it up. Again friendly staff when I made the pick up. Idk where the bad reviews are coming from. These guys are great.

Review №55

Maybe the personnel have changed but I nothing like the bad reviews on here. If you walk into a business with a bad/jerk attitude you deserve the treatment you receive. I always approach sales people with a smile and a complement and I receive their best service. I found this shop well equipped and very easy to buy from.

Review №56

Worst Business in Corpus Christi. 2 Months & Nothing Done. I brought in a 1927 Colt Police Positive to get a new screw for the grips & to have the gun re-nickled. They said no problem and it would be done in 2 to 3 weeks. I then had to call each week for 8 weeks, they never followed up & said they didnt have a gunsmith or that I wasnt talking to the right guy who originally took the gun. After 2 months I was shocked by their incompetence & went to pick up the gun. While there I tried to explain what happened to Nathan who was working that day. He said He didnt care, and it wasnt his problem. After I said I would leave this bad review he said Good, you can add it to all the other bad reviews and then told me to Get out of the store, now! I have lived in Corpus Christi for 30 years. I can say without reservation, this is the Worst Business in Corpus Christi. Zero Service, Zero Skills. Dont do business here, they should be shut down.

Review №57

I have purchased a handgun here before and they were not overtly rude - or helpful. One of those places where you almost feel like you are interupting the proprietors from something that actually has more importance than a customer.After purchasing a firearm out of state I phoned around to see how much they would charge to do the tranfer for me. After calling every outfit in town from Pawn Shops to Shooting Ranges I do know that the Texas Gun Shop is the most expensive in town to do a transfer. These folks are not to be avoided - but I would never recommend them either.

I was told they dont like to do certain jobs because they dont want to be responsible if their gunsmith messes up. This should tell you what kind of workmanship you will deal with. On top of it all they arent friendly. Look elsewhere.
