Quiet, clean store with helpful, friendly, knowledgeable staff. Best selection in the local area. Was in and out in 15 minutes

I was going to buy a very expensive scope but very rude customer service. Not helpful with where to get help they didn’t want to provide. Won’t ever go back.

Excellent seller with reasonable prices, considering the current demand. I called about a specific item and they answered by questions with specificity, offered a reasonable price and had it ready when I arrived. Ammo prices were more reasonable than competitors in the area and availability was decent considering the difficulty of obtaining it now in the current political environment. I recommend this shop if you are looking for a specific bang-bang item!

Most interesting and well stocked gun shop I’ve ever visited. The employees were very friendly. I look forward to visiting again.

When I call most places of business I expect some level of help. But if the person answering the phone seems clueless( as the fella answering the phone @ NG&K) or puts forth the effort that makes it seems like Im bothering him asking questions, well thats probably the last guy who should be allowed to answer the phone! When calling a business like this you expect some level of knowledgeable employee to answer the phone and at least be able to answer some basic questions without making that seem like youre bothering them!

I had a great experience at this store. They worked with me to help me find which gun would be best for me, and gave me a full run down of how to operate and clean it. They also told me a good place to go for classes. I highly recommend this place for anyone who is looking to buy a new weapon, or who needs help with repairs, or just needs someone to answer any questions. They are very knowledgeable, and want to help you get the best bang for your buck. Will definitely be back!

I bought my first gun here and they were very helpful. Knowledgeable staff and friendly. They had the gun I wanted in stock and really enjoy it. Will look to go back for my next one!

Went in today to get some insight on a gun that was my late fathers. I got some great information and good customer service. I was educated on several things about the gun, I will definitely return.

Very nice people. I did not feel intimidated when I explained to them I had just received my carry permit.

All super helpful no matter if you are new to gun ownership or an expert. They go above and beyond to assist, recommend and guide you in the right direction. I’d highly recommend Nashville Gun and Knife for your next purchase, transfer or just a general question. Top notch!

Shellie and his staff did an incredible job! They answered all of my questions and made me feel completely comfortable during my experience. I will definitely be a regular customer.

Such a terrible place. All the workers are the most pretentious people I have ever encountered. I came in 10 min prior to close just to look around for a second, as soon as I walked in I was asked, “Can I help you with something?”, like I wasn’t supposed to be there. I was also being stared down the whole 2-3 min I was allowed in there by all 4 workers. I’m not a sensitive person. But these people who work at this place are very odd individuals.Edit: I also tried to purchase 5 boxes of 5.56 before I left, but I was informed they already counted the cash register for the day and couldn’t take cash. (Maybe wait until your posted closing time to count the register, instead of 10 min before close.) So I walked out empty handed. Will never recommend anyone to them, just awful overall.

Super friendly people and a beautiful store.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff that was willing to help with any issue I could think of. These guys mean business but are professional. If you’re expecting bubbly personalities and guys dancing around to help you, you will be disappointed. If you’re looking for guys that know their stuff, have a huge inventory of great deals, and people willing to help you out with your concerns or issues, there is no better place within 100 miles.

I was planning to go to NG&K, but way too many negative reviews for me. Wont be going there ever, and will notify my SA supporting friends of the reviews and steer them away.

I was put off when I entered the store, very nice, and stated; I got a couple of my guns I told you about the other day I need holsters for AND THEY ARE LOADED. All was still cordial.When I set the cases guns upon the counter To display & unload each the tone changed to less pretty.They while cordial after my initial mistake, but had nothing for me.Guess I won’t go back, too bad, prices are good, staff helpful, REMEMBER, NO LOADED GUNS, former LEO, lifetime carry status be damned. Nice store though, but won’t be back.

Extortion! Dishonest businessman. Avoid Shelly. Avoid Nashville Gun and Knife. Go to Royal Range for your needs.I went to Nashville Gun and Knife for the first time after being referred by Palmetto State Armorys website following the purchase of a Carcano rifle. Having checked the Nashville Gun and Knife website, I confirmed the price for an FFL Transfer at Nashville Gun and Knife of $55 (+10 for the TN review). That was markedly high for our area for a simple FFL transfer (Royal was significantly cheaper, and Ashland City was $25 last time I checked). But being one of my local gun stores and wishing to support a local business, I decided to pay the high FFL price and give the money to a new local store. No worries. When I got there, the staff was otherwise nice. However, at the cash register, I was rung up with a total of over $80!!! For an FFL transfer!!!! After speaking with the young man about what must have been a mischarge, Shelly, the owner bopped over, pointed at a paper taped to the register, and alerted me that our prices had changed. I shared my shock at an $80 price tag and showed him his own website which listed $55, explaining that could not have possibly have known about a hand written new price on a piece of paper in the store when I was processing the FFL on Palmetto State Armorys sales page. Shellys reply.... Well I can send it back to Palmetto then.I could almost forgive the exorbitant price for what should be a $45 FFL transfer. However the unexpected delay and added cost represented extortion to me (and was not very neighborly to Palmetto) to threaten to ship the rifle back to the original seller. The added shipping, the added wait, and the unreasonableness of Shellys response should be documented publicly for potential new customers to review.Avoid this gun store. The many poor reviews listed here document a pattern of behavior from Shelly. Go to Royal Range, where there is a far better facility, and where I have found the staff to be reasonable and honest. And yes, I have also been in contact with Palmetto State Armory sales staff and customer service about the event so that others would not have such an experience. Dishonest man. Avoid.

Unfriendly and unhelpful staff. Look elsewhere

Decided to buy local with them instead of big box. The associate I dealt with had no clue of what he was talking about. I wrote off all of his misinformation as inexperience and purchased my shotgun anyway. Came home looking for info and found the same gun I just bought for 1/2 of what I paid at Cabelas. Called left a voicemail...no response. Sent in an email....no response. Called again...got voicemail. Called the 4th time and finally got to Shelly the GM. He told me Beretta prices were set by the Manufacturer and they couldnt do anything. I was not expecting him to match the price, just some sort of good will. I got nothing. So much for trying to support local businesses.

This place is awesome and it’s prices are like franklin gun store and they have all kinds of high dollar guns and very polite sales people they have a lot of high grade hunting shotguns and they are an awesome place to shop

Great local shop. Very helpful and courteous staff.

GM was not friendly or helpful and doesn’t like people from out of state.

Great service, will give you very good info and advice. They told me where to go to get something they dont usually carry since Im looking for something very specific. Great selection, though, even during COVID, so this is going to be a regular stop for me.

Was turned away right after I went inside. They REQUIRE masks be worn but do not offer them. Another business fallen to Socialistic tyranny!

Wow, I didn’t expect the one star reviews to actually reflect how this place operates... Shockingly enough, this place is horrendous; awfully rude and employees and so condescending. Same as the other reviews, I would NOT recommend any friends/family to shop here for their needs.

Went in to get a knife, both clerks were respectful and courteous. Got a good knife with vets discount. Will be back.

Poor follow up...not what you want in your gun store

5 stars to Nashville Gun & Knife for not price gouging during the current crisis. I bought a Glock there yesterday and the price was the same as it was a year ago. Other places in the area are charging $1000 for a glock 19. We should do everything we can to support businesses like this.

Nashville Gun and Knife is a gentlemans armory. No taxidermy, just beautiful cases of the weapons you read about in magazines. Theyre all there. Customer service is spot on. Knowledgable salesman that walk you through the process allowing even new owners to not feel the sting of being a novice. There is about a 2% markup beyond what the big box stores charge, which is negligible to me as a trusted store pays dividends that a large chain never will.

Large range and availability but a very unfriendly staff. I felt like I was like entering a government building and being told to wait in line. The two times I bought ammo from here they were heavily corroded and seemed to be so old I wasnt sure they were good enough to shoot. Ive had better experiences at the DMV. Bring your money somewhere else.

Man... these people are really mean. I get why all the people in reviews are complaining about this place. Was looking for a $350+ knife, but after being treated like a literal criminal, (constantly being stared at, followed around the store), I decided to take my business elsewhere....

I was excited to come to the shop. Make your purchase quickly! I was in store today for about 20 minutes asked to see about 10-15 different knives. Telling the older gentleman helping me that I was shopping for a soon to be relative(planning to spend $100-200) He was nice at first though he wouldnt talk much so I thanked him for taking his time to show me his selection. Then out of nowhere he leaned over the counter and pointed in my face said youre going to have to make up your mind in the next few moments, weve got other things to do the type of hostile look and tone as if I had seriously offended him. I told him just forget it. His response I dont care. So I left. On my way out I noticed that the other employees werent even helping anybody and busy talking about food.Nashville gun & knife if youre going to put your products in a case you cant get mad at customers for asking to handle them. Holding the actual knife/gun youre getting the only reason I am willing to pay the extra amount versus buying online. Its a shame that guy was rude because you guys have a decent selection. I had found the one I wanted just wanted to see the colors side buy side.

Good selection knowledgeable staff

Ordered an item online - it took them EIGHT days to put it in the mail. UNACCEPTABLE! The people answering the phone didnt seem to care either. Never again.

Skip this place . i felt my other review was unfair to maybe someone who would enjoy this business. And my goal was not to slander them but the couple times i went in here i felt like i was very unwelcome . It is what it is. They said they do not do transfers from PSA which i found kind of odd. one star

I found them to be quite friendly & knowledgeable. The pricing is commensurate with other retailers. I will definitely be going back in the future.

Its unfortunate that these folks have ammunition in stock because theyre so unfriendly and unhelpful that on principle I wont give them my business. Dont shop here unless youre desperate.

Walking in there, the counter person looks at me, didnt even ask if I need help. I know when I stop to another gun shop they assist and then say I look very young just in a polite way to know my age which old enough but still guided me to what I was looking for.

Awesome place. Very clean and high end. Inventory is on par with some of the best gun shops in the country. I will place it Top 5 on my list of favorite gun shops. The cutlery section was not lacking either. Very nice and great selection. Have alot to offer! Will be back!

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff! Great at mounting rifle scopes! A+ service!

I went down to Nashville Gun and Knife last week to look around and see what they had and to check out the new store.First, I was very impressed by the amount of staff available to help and answer questions. There 7 or 8 employees plus the owner was there on Saturday, available to help.Second, I was impressed by the depth of knowledge of the staff as I visited the different areas of the store. Shotguns, rifles, pistols, knives etc... There was always someone there to help and able to answer all my questions.After discussing the pros and cons of the different .22s I was looking at with the owner, I ended up choosing one that I really enjoy and have no regrets. They helped me make the perfect selection for my needs.As for price, I was able to get it that day for a few dollars more than I would have had to pay on-line, but then I would have had to have it shipped to a gun store and pay them a fee and all that would take several days at the least, and would have cost more.I am looking for a couple of pistols now that it is legal to carry a loaded gun in your car in Tennessee and I will definitely be going back to NGK. I would highly recommend that you at least go check them out if you are in the market for a weapon. They also have a gunsmith on staff, you can watch him work right there over the counter and ask him anything about gunsGreat store!

The folks who work there arent friendly. Very rigid and not willing to work with their customers.

I wouldnt recommend having any gunsmithing done here. I purchased a new firearm and paid to have the sights swapped. The factory sights were scratched up when removed, the new sights were scratched up when installed and also some scratches and scuffs to the finish on the slide. I was told that damage to a firearm when changing sights is completely unavoidable and the nature of the beast. I know from personal experience and from having sights swapped professionally this is not the case as I have never had any damage done to my firearms when changing sights.

Excellent shop with a huge selection of guns and knives to browse and select from. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff, I found them ready to assist with whatever I was interested in checking out and a veritable wellspring of information for any of the questions I asked.Excellent shop!

Folks, This is the best gun store by a mile. It would take two pages to tell you all how much they have helped me and my son. We went from a defective competition gun that had to be returned, to the wrong type of gun for my Sons style of shooting and ended up with NGK ordering us the perfect gun for my Son and having it in his hands a week before the season started. Go in, get to know them and you will love them. I do shop around and I have not seen a price yet that would me go elsewhere.

Absolutely the worst people I’ve ever had to deal with Customer Service Sucks, prices too high, very rude and unfriendly...

Laid back atmosphere, nobody trying to do the used car salesman routine. Staff has always been friendly and patient with me, in spite of me asking to hold basically everything in the place. Its made me a regular customer, and made it my go-to recommendation to friends.I am more knowledgeable on the knife side of things, but they have an excellent selection of some of the best blades made. If you want a real blade that wont fail you when your life depends on it, this is a great place to shop. (Spyderco, Zero tolerance, Benchmade) And the prices are reasonable, no ridiculous markups, which ive seen a lot of other places.Im very much in the glock 19 is all I need camp, but they always have my 9mm in whatever flavor I need. Their handgun selection is excellent, Sig, CZ, Glock, S&W, Springfield, and colt all accounted for.Lots of cool custom-looking AR-15s, if thats more your speed.Hunting rifles/shotguns are out of my lane, but they certainly have plenty for you to check out.I even spied a Ruger Precision Rifle.TLDR: Good shop. Nice people. Havent tried to rip me off. 5 stars.

Best gun shop in Nashville. Staff is very helpful and friendly. I won’t buy a firearm anywhere else.

Friendly & helpful staff, if you need to offload a firearm for any reason-see this guys. Fairest offer in town, earned a long time customer.

Helpful....knowledgable.....thorough !

Great place. Helpful staff. Saved me a lot on a gun repair.

I am an avid shooter and buy a lot of different guns and weapons. I went into this gunstore to buy a firearm. After entering I it was easy to see I was not welcome nor appreciated. They were all to bizy to help me and when I asked for any help I got non. DO NOT SHOP HERE..... It will take away any happyness to your buy. Please do not shop here. Their all to good for you.

Ive actually bought a gun from there and several small things and also like the selection of knives and guns. Everytime I go in there I feel like a criminal and about 2 inches tall I really hate leaving bad reviews but its just really a bad experience. Hopefully they dont do that everybody maybe its just me.

The last time I’ll be using them as my FFL. Rude people and acted like it was an act of Congress to transfer my firearm. Told me I needed to come back once they had more time because it was just received from shipping. I tracked the package it arrived 4 hours prior to him telling me it just arrived. Then proceeds to tell me the real reason is they’re short staffed. Sure I’ll drive back in 5 o clock traffic for your convenience. Smh

Wide selection of knives and guns. Ive been in twice and both times got a very creepy feeling. Today a staff member, who turned out not to be very knowledgeable, just stared at me when I came in. No greeting, no can I help you. Weird vibe, not great pricing, Ill buy elsewhere.

Amazing selection, staff is second to none. These folks can teach others in the area what customer service really is.

Great selection of Guns and Knives. They advertise how willing they are to trade etc, but in reality are not so willing!

I have been to many gun shops. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful even if you are just looking. They have quite a lot of experience with the firearms and ammo they sell as well as advice on shooting and training. I will be back!

Nice store and everything but I picked something out showing one price and once I got to the counter to pay they decided it was too low of a price and refused to sell it to me at the price advertised in the store.

Won’t be back. Went in and wasn’t greeted at all. Was then reprimanded for handling a firearm when there was no indication that this wasn’t allowed. Overheard the employees discussing the extreme markup on ammunition and how comical it was. Take your business elsewhere.

Bought a 9mm Carbine from them and was told there was not an option to have the gun with glock mags. Went home that night and realized it was available in glock mags. Came back the very next day to exchange the gun for one with glock mags they told me I was going to to have to take their trade in value for the gun and then buy another gun from themI can see this maybe if I just wanted another gun, but the expert on the floor is the one who told me there was not a glock option. So I trusted his knowledge base. They won’t get anymore of my gun business, and I definitely wouldn’t recommend them to anyone else.

After hearing good reviews about this place, I decided to check it out with a group of my friends. We went in on a Saturday and had the pleasure of talking to the owner. It was clear that he didnt even see us as customers. We felt as if we were discriminated against after he implied that we learn to shoot something small for protection. He didnt even let us get out that we are competition shooters. Needless to say, we all took our business elsewhere and didnt spend a dime.Out of curiosity, I asked two good friends of mine to stop in there and see if they got the same response. They live in Belle Meade and wanted to take a look at some of Berettas new shotguns. This man must be stuck in the old days, as my friends (both of whom are highly successful in the music industry) werent even spoken too. Shes african american and could pass for 25 and hes white, with long dreads and tattoos. They said that not only were they ignored as customers, but followed around by the staff and the owner as if to make sure they werent going to steal something. I highly suggest that unless you enjoy being berated and humiliated, you take your money somewhere else. I guess the only person that would be a respected customer in this place is an old, white man. I dont see Nashville Gun & Knife sticking around more than a year or two.

I think I had an interaction with every employee...they were all very personable, helpful, and knowledgeable....wonderful selection of guns and knives...I bought one of each...both were hard to find elsewhere.

Fairly large selection of weapons and great customer service.

Great service, very nice and orderly store. Highly recommended!

Nashville is a wonderful place, my home for 26 years, almost without exception, a polite, friendly, and welcoming atmosphere prevails thru out this city. That feeling completely ends upon walking thru the door of this nightmare.

I went in and learned a lot about guns . I always wanted to get a Ruger lcr, and they gave me good info and advice .I d recommend this place .Bought ammos here .

Decent selection, high prices.

Friendly service large selection.

Great service...very nice employees ..came in looking for an old USN k-bar knife ..and ended up buying some ammo and a spyderco from Jeremy Bailey ..nice place..alot of nice knives. THANK YOU..

Needed to mail an old shotgun to a grandson. Excellent service.

I can only speak to the knives part of the store-havent shopped the gun side at all (although Ill note their ammo section is pretty much non-existent for rifles and shotguns). Unfortunately, their knives are full retail price OR MORE. I pointed out web sites that showed retail pricing, and their pricing was about 20% higher. They agreed with me, but wouldnt change anything (e.g., Anza, Protech).Now, I dont expect a brick-and-mortar to compete with BladeHQ or KnifeCenter, but MORE than MSRP? Thats about 40% higher than what you can find online, and even though its great to hold the knife in hand, and the staff were friendly and helpful, I just cant spend that much extra.I dont think this store will sell knives to knowledgable buyers-and I expect some buyers are going to discover they paid a lot more than they needed to.And like me, they wont be going back.

They had extremely high end firearms

Great place and the crew is knowledgeable.

They have a great selection but from what i could tell they were ridiculously expensive

Extremely professional, helpful, and knowledgeable staff.

DO NOT GO TO THIS STORE! The staff was EXTREMELY unfriendly and the prices were outrageous. 8-06-18

They got a great deal on really nice guns. They act a little prudish sometimes but who cares and right now they have a real Colt AR 15 brand new for 11000.00 plus tax and that’s just 100.00 over what they sent for as the company switched to CZ. This AR 15 will be gone soon !They also have a Browning medallion bolt rifle that is beautiful and several nice Beretta handguns

Super good people and very trained excellent place
