Very awesome experience. My wife recently purchased a hand gun for personal protection. Jeff @ Darkside gave us a few recommendations on what to buy. Jeff @ Darkside found the preferred fire arm for my wife at a competitor of Darkside. After helping us find the best fire arm, Jeff at Darkside spent two full hours teaching my wife the basics of using the firearm. I witnessed the education and I have a strong background in firearms and I was very impressed. I would recommend Darkside to anyone wanting quality education.
Very Disappointed. Long time Customers of Darkside, just out of touch and State the last few years. Have been sending emails, personal to Jeff, on the Website, and a Call. Received confirmation they all sent, we just needed some information. Things have gone dark at Darkside. Sorry to no longer be doing BusinessThe Tomacs
Was part of the monthly program to get gun cleanings and receive information on concealed classes but never received any info. The one time I had an appointment to get my weapon cleaned, I went down with a friend and they never showed up. Very strange after that never saw any more charges for the monthly program. I tried to sell my friend on the place because my experiences prior had been good but this scared him away. This was shortly after their move so hopefully business has stabilized and is back to normal.
Repeat customer. I’ve used Darkside for a number of services from FFL transfers to helping with custom builds and some exotic gunsmithing needs. Even help finding the right training. Awesome customer service and a focus on what’s best for the customer. Will patronize then again.
Darkside is a small shop that takes care of its people. Locally owned and has some of the best service out there. I was looking for a specific part for a build and it had proven difficult to find. Darkside went out of their way to find this fairly inexpensive part. They got it shipped in quickly and called me the moment it arrived.They were knowledgeable and pleasant to speak with and helped me with every question I had. Definitely earned a customer for life.
Jeff at Darkside Tactical went above and beyond the What do you want? service level I commonly experience at other stores specializing in my bang hobby. His business hours were flexible, service was that of someone who cares about the customer and his technical skill was just what I needed to get me running like I hoped. Im happy to say I finally found a place that does business like I do. Im making this shop my go to for parts, custom builds, classes and technical information.
Jeff was the guy that helped me and my friends while we were in the shop and I couldnt say anything less than 100% pure outstanding service! He answered all the questions we had and had unbelievable knowledge and experience. If you need a shop with guys that know what they are doing, dont skip past this shop. You wont be disappointed.
First impressions are a must in life and I got to say, Jeff did very well. He was smart, courteous, professional, and friendly. Jeff quickly established the problem, then discussed the options with me and explained it in a way I could understand. He treated me like a human being and valued my input and opinion. I felt very valued as a customer. He also gave me some helpful hints on minor gunsmithing. I highly recommend them and will be telling all my buddies to do business with Darkside Tactical.
They are very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. If you need any gun supplies or guns, I would HIGHLY recommend them. I purchased my 1st AR-15 rifle from them. I was not sure which one to get, they pointed me in the right rifle and I love it. Works GREAT!!! Check them out
A local neighborhood firearm small business is appreciated. I have made a several purchases including a FFL transfer. They specialize in quality custom firearms but will find most anything you need. Jeff quickly identified a problem with a firearm I had ordered and corrected the issue in fair and professional manner.
I have done buisness with Darkside Tactical several times now over the years. Jeff is a great guy, who knows his guns. From building a custom Ar15, to adding a suppressor. I would recommend anyone to Darkside Tactical.
Jeff and the crew at Darkside Tactical are head and shoulders above the rest. This is not your typical arrogant, ego fed gun store. This place is different...different in a good way. I really feel like Darkside gives a damn about the customer. I did not feel like they were just trying to sell me another gun. I watched Darkside ask all the right questions, and then shut up and listened as I told them what my needs were. I left with the equipment I wanted. Darkside Tactical is MY new and only gun store. I will not be doing my gun or equipment business anywhere else. Thank you Jeff and crew.
Talk about service, they took the time to educate me so that i made the right choice for my needs and the needs of my wife. they even came to my office to show me some different firearms and how i could use them for protection, target shooting, etc. they ensured that i knew how to assemble and disassemble each item, cleaning, lubricating and general care for protecting my investment. the fact that they were cheaper than the main chain stores was just icing on the cake - THANK YOU DARKSIDE, LOOKING FORWARD TO MY NEXT PURCHASE!!!
These guys are the nicest and most helpful I have worked with in the firearms industry. I have been to the other popular gun store in UT several times and those guys generally treated me like scum until I had spent a couple grand there.Darkside is a different story, they are actually invested in their customers and give advice on builds and purchases. I will always use them as my FFL and I will buy as many parts as I can from them in the future.
Jeff is very knowledgeable and goes out of his way to make you feel like your business is important to him. I wouldnt hesitate to do business with him again, and will absolutely be recommending him to my friends.
This place is amazing!!! As a woman, I get shortchanged and disregarded when looking to add to my collection of firearms. NOT HERE!!!! The knowledge and helpfulness of the staff is superb! Darkside should be everyones first stop, and then you will know why you dont need to go anywhere else!
Jeff was great. I went needing to replace a trigger on my fathers AR. He had it done in a matter of minutes and was more than fair on price. Thank you Jeff.
Needed some help with my rifle. Called, connection was too bad to understand anything so I decided to look up it up and drop by. Went to address located on website and google, apparently they moved. Went to the address posted at their old location and was guided to their new location in Sandy. Eager to get some help, walked up to the door at 5:30pm on a tuesday and it was locked. Knocked. Nothing. Hours say 10-6pm online. Im sure its great service and work but I went elsewhere. Maybe youll have better luck.
Had excellent service here. They take good care of you and are very helpful.
Not helpful people at all.
Great service. Awesome place for some really cool toys
I have been in every gun shop from Orem to Ogden at least once. Darkside is very different. You wont be ignored, and you will never be made to feel stupid for something you dont know. These guys are here to help you know matter what skill level or knowledge level you have. They sell you whats right for you instead of what some manufacturer is bonusing them to shove down your throat. Thanks Darkside!
Delivered my AR15 to them for a quick fix on a muzzle break and it was taken care of quickly. Great service friendly staff
They were great! Helped me out with exactly what I wanted!
Jeff Luck, owner, is a stand up guy that tries hard to make the customer feel good about their purchase. I recommend Darkside.
I had ordered a 45 Kriss from the East coast and needed a good FFL. I live in Ogden and there are a few here. But had heard some good things about Darkside and all turned out to be true. Caribine arrived when it was supposed to and they gave me a call the same day. Went to pick it up did the paperwork and was on my way. They were just starting to get some stock in and it all looked good. Good store. Good people.
I dont recommend going here for a silencer. I went in and paid the full amount and was asked to call back in 2 days repeatedly for a serial number until 2 weeks had passed. Wait, I give you money and I have to follow up with you? I asked for a refund which Jeff did grant. I then went into Gunnies, they had the silencer in stock and I had a serial number the same day. Gunnies will also only charge you a small portion of the total until it comes in stock.
Jeff always does a great job at knowing about and helping you find the best products.
Very kowledgsble staff, and great communication. They treat you as a person and take the time to see you get what you need, not what might be the best sale for them. They definatly get an A + rating in my book....
Jeff is highly knowledge of the complicated NFA transfer. He works hard to make sure youre set up for success!
Darkside is awesome! Be sure to ask for Joe Firearms SBR and precision rifles!
Drove down from salt lake wanting to do a trigger job on my ruger sp101 revolver but unfortunately the guy who came to the door said they dont do revolvers, weird. Anyways, if you have a revolver than go some place else. He recommended Barlows
Slow to work out an issue with some custom work, I am happy with the end result but not the speed with wich the issue was resolved. The shop and the inventory are in process of a reset. Knowlagable on AK, AR and suppressors. He has some OSS cans in stock as of this writing and I look forward to demo. Jeff is very knowlagable the handfull of local guys that know cans this well are more likely to steer you to brand than figure out your needs and give objective advice. He was honest about wait times and how responsive companiers are, lead times etc. I decided to go with a can on off the shelf, while not my ideal suppressor it was as close as I was likely to find and the best price I could find. I have been looking for a while.
Great guys hooked it up on a rear sight
I was introduced to Jeff and Darkside Tactical completely by chance. I had noticed his shop near me a few times, so dropped in spontaneously looking for hard-to-find magazines for my wifes Sig Sauer 938. He was friendly and filled a quick order. That was all it took. I came back after buying a basic Bushmaster AR-15 M2. I brought it in to see what Jeff could do to it....and he quickly fitted it out with the following. I am sure I am NOT done with it yet:TBRC upper receiverTBRC stockOdinworks 12.5 free floating forendPrimary Weapons Systems enhanced buffer tubeSpikes Tactical heavy bufferPrimary Weapons Systems FSC 5.56 muzzle brakeATI Scorpion Recoil pistol gripTroy Industries 30-round battle magazineShooting it side by side with my old stock Bushmaster AR-15 A3, there is no comparison! Smooth as silk and a significant reduction in recoil. Just like Jeff said! He made sure everything was perfect. Highly satisfied.Meanwhile, Ive since made Darkside my primary one-stop shop for the tactical, purchasing optical sights for my Springfiled Armory XD-9, a Draco AK-47 pistol, a Ruger LC9 for my wife, a Desert Eagle .50AE for me, and a myriad of magazines and accessories. Hes now my preferred stop for ammo as well.Ive been into specialized hunting all my life, and had some basic personal defense weapons, but Im now exploring a whole new facet of shooting with Darkside on the top of my list.Jeff is knowledgeable, experienced and trustworthy. When I complimented him on this as well as his prices, he just smiled and said, Thats the way I do business. And it is.Hes got all the toys, and ill be a customer for life.
Great service. Hooked me up with what I needed and answered all my questions.
This is one of my most trusted firearm sources the staff here make sure you get what you came for and if they cant they know were to go
Great Store, Great people, This is my place to shop!!!
Hours listed open online are not hours avail. Sign on door shows open from 4pm to 6pm on select days or by app only. Email & called and left message several times to schedule appointment but no response. May be out of business.
Ive taken classes here, the knowledge of the staff here is why I have returned. The service following the purchase is why I buy my guns here.
I have had nothing but great service from these guys.
