Called them for a part I needed for an AR15. They immediately looked for it found it and said they would wait for me. When I arrived they were, without a doubt, the friendliest staff I have encountered in any type of business in a long time. Even took time to show me a gunsmith project they were working on when I got curious. Oh, the price for the part? Far cheaper than anywhere else I researched. I am now a lifetime customer.

The professionals at this establishment are some of the best Ive had the opportunity to associate.They are on the opposite side of town from me. Its worth the drive. Even if you dont want to buy a gun, stop by to take a look at the place. Its impressive and worth your consideration. 5/5

Searched gun store on Google maps and Drakes was one of the first to pop up in my area. Went in to sell a firearm that I was no longer interested in. Walked in and was immediately greeted and helped by an employee. He checked out my firearm and then Scott (I think) the owner came over and gave a 2nd look at the gun. He liked it, offered me a decent price, and we struck a deal. The whole deal took about 20mins max. Polite/respectful employees and a cool store. I recommend, and will be returning for future firearm related needs. 👍

I highly recommend Drakes Fine Sporting Arms they have done custom work that I couldnt get done anywhere else. I have a classic type weapon that they worked on and they suggested ideas of how to get the most performance out of the weapon. The work that was done and the costermer service is second to none. They go the extra mile to make sure the job they do is done above expectation. Feel confident in walking into Drakes with an idea of what you want and know that the finished product will be better than you expected because of theirpersonal knowledge and dedicated approach of the employees at Drakes.

Dropped off a pistol to have refinished. They couldnt do the job, and it took them almost a month to find that out. When I picked my pistol up, it was completely disassembled down to the smallest pins, in baggies. As I went to reassemble my pistol, i find 2 small parts, and several pins are missing, which are expensive and hard to find. Needless to say, my pistol is now a useless bag of parts, unless I want to spend more money to order the missing pieces, and have it reassembled, and have it back to how it was before I dropped it off to them.

To all my firearms enthusiast friends in the El Paso area, I highly recommend you check out Drake Fine Sporting Arms. Ive had quite a bit of custom work done there, including trigger jobs, magazine tuning, accuracy and action tuning, and custom fitment and installation of upgrade parts. Ive also learned a lot about my firearms in the process, as Mr. Drake and his staff are quite knowledgeable, friendly, and willing to spend time answering all of my numerous questions. Ive been a loyal customer since our first customization and I am confident they will take care of you just as well. Go to Drakes for your firearms needs, they will not disappoint.

The shop always appears spotless. Their prices are more than fair on the gunsmithing. I will definitely go back if I need any more work done on any of my firearms.

Review №18

I highly recommend this shop and will continue to give them my business. Their custom work is flawless and I would trust them with anything. They have fixed a shot gun for me and threaded a barrel on my Remington 700 and then added a custom pepper pot muzzle brake. These guys are 100% professional. Don’t waste your time transferring through a pawn shop FFL. These guys always pick up the phone and are open when they say they will be.

I was recommended to Drakes Fine Sporting Arms by another gun shop owner. I needed some work done on a “pistol” of mine. I wouldn’t do it my self since it involved drilling and tapping the rear trunion of the fire arm. The whole process was quick, and super easy. The staff was extremely friendly and very helpful. The folder added to my pistol is perfectly centered. It looks amazing. I don’t think anyone could of done this great of a job. The price was more then reasonable. I am extremely pleased and I will more then likely return to have more work done on other fire arms! I would definitely recommend this place of business to others, you will not be disappointed!

I have transfer 3 guns in the last two months. Fair ammo prices as well. Excellent service! If you have never been at the store, I highly recommend it. The nicest people and great customer service. The nice thing about the store is that you will get to talk to different loyal customer that share the same passion for firearms as you! A loyal customer at the store recommended me a gun. I went home and I bought it and got it transferred to the shop. The way Drake has the shop set up is like a little coffe shop.I wish I could go early and just hang out and maybe take a box of donuts, because let me tell you they have a lot of loyal customers hagging out at the store. I always show up 20 minutes before closing and I never feel rush. Nice shop, good people and excellent customer service!

Outstanding Service! I am extremely happy with my shopping experience at Drake Fine Sporting Arms. The staff took the time to show me various rifles and even offered to order one if they did not have the one I wanted in stock. Luckily for me they had exactly what I was looking for. They are very knowledgeable and professional. This will be my first stop when purchasing my next firearm! An additional plus is they have the best coffee in town!

Review №31

Outstanding service and craftsmanship. I’ve had an old revolver re-blued, trigger work performed on a 1911, and a new slide fitted to an old 1911 frame. 1911 work is time consuming and requires precision. Drake delivered above and beyond on all counts. Knowledgeable on modern and old gunsmithing techniques, Drake will not disappoint. He also has some great “antiques” and modern guns that occasionally come into the shop for consignment sales. If you need some work on your favorite firearm, make sure you check him out!

Drakes is the best gun shop Ive been to in a long time. Its a no pressure buying experience and they are really knowledgeable. I had some work done on my 45/70 lever action and it is prestine. I love the work that was done to it. Scott does military discount and they arent jacked up prices like most. Its the only shop Ill be taking any of my guns to.

I had them ship two shot guns to another FFL located in Colorado. One of the two ended up with a broken stock. When i notified Drakes their response was a standard disclaimer...... thats out of our hands! We are responsible for packing and shipping only! Very sad how quickly they jumped to disavow any responsibility whatsoever.

As owner of V&V and a fellow Gunsmith, these guys are great. Brandon and Scotts experience, knowledge, and dedication are second to none. I call them when I have questions or need advice. They are Always willing to help another shop out, so imagine what they will do for their customers.

Lowest FFL price in town and have fantastic service. Ive recommended them to many people and they all talk highly of them as well. A new friend and I argued that we knew the friendliest and best FFL in town right up until we realized we were talking about the same place.

Review №38

I was told to come in because they could do the job before they closed. I show up and was told to pick up the job the next day- I called specifically to address the time constraint ahead of time to avoid this situation and was still told to drive over and it will get done. Inconsiderate dummies.

I felt like I was walking into my best friends house. To talk about what we love best, guns. Being from out of town that ment a lot. I was also very pleased with the pricing and work they did. The only problem I have is that I wont always be able to take my guns here...might mail them though haha. I doubt Ill ever find a place like this again.

This is by far my favorite gun shop. The staff is knowledgeable, the prices are fare, and I can trust that the work will be done well. I also know that if he does not have something specific that I need, he will either make it or find it for me. There is no one else in the El Paso area that I would recommend for gunsmithing.

As soon as you walk into the door to this fine establishment you are happily greeted. Youre welcomed as a long time friend. The gentlemen at Drake Fine Sporting Arms can help you with all types of gun related services. From gun smiting, FFL transfers, to selling a firearm on consignment. Exceptional services at exception prices. This is the best gun shop in El Paso. I dare say even in the whole state of Texas.

Awesome guys. Went in there for a grip screw for my dads 1911, they didnt have the exact one I wanted but gave me a temporary replacement completely free of charge and pointed me in the right direction to find the right one. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely go there again
