Excellent range and shop, everyone who works here is knowledgeable and friendly, highly recommend!
I have been to quite a few gun ranges in Connecticut and Tactical boutique in West Hartford is hands-down the best one by far. The range has state of the art technology giving you so many options to sharpen your skills. Pricing on everything here is great, they have multiple levels of memberships making it affordable for anyone to join. Ammo is fairly priced and is usually available if needed, they have a limit of one or two boxes per visit so everyone can get to shoot. They also have so many different targets you can choose from to sharpen your skills as well and they’re only a dollar. They also have events from time to time bringing manufacturers to the range with great deals on guns and a lot of information. The best part about this place is the customer service. Darin the owner is hands-on and always finding ways to make this place even better every day. Tristan the shop manager is Full of knowledge and always willing to help, great guy !! George the range officer is the best of the best. He has helped me sharpen my skills so much and is just a pleasure to be around. Super friendly guy, very knowledgeable. You can go online and reserve your time which makes it so personal, when I go I’m always the only one there and it makes it feel like they built the range for me. I go here twice a week and look forward to every time. I highly recommend Tactical boutique in West Hartford. Try it once and you will be hooked guaranteed!!
I am new to the CCL world and did a lot of research before deciding where to buy. I needed a place where I felt comfortable to ask beginner questions, felt that my business was appreciated, and could provide more insight than a simple Let me know if your weapon gets jammed when I was practicing. I emailed the Tactical Boutique and their owner, Darin, responded to me. From his first email, he was welcoming and encouraging. I went to visit his store, met a couple of the members from his team, and they each took the time to help me make a purchasing decision. Darin even oiled up my new purchase to help me break it in while I visited his state of the art range. The range itself is inviting. Its size is perfect for someone like myself who wants to practice with few folks around and comfortable to ask questions while feeling as if I am being heard. I enjoyed my experience so much, I became a member of the range and I look forward to sharping my skills and learning more about this new world I just entered. If you are a beginner like me, I highly recommend you reach out to Darin and set-up some time to get a tailored experience to meet your needs.
Haven’t stopped in so can’t give full rating but called in to check what they had guy was nice and explained my options on what they didn’t have and what they don’t have but can order
My experience at the store and the new range has been amazing. The new range is great, very clean, high tech, great place to go practice. The employees provide high quality customer service, very knowledgeable and more than willing to help. Looking forward to going back, highly recommend the Tactical Boutique!
Darin and Tristan both made me feel very comfortable during the process of learning about firearms. They are patient with questions and have a lot of knowledge between the two. I highly recommend going here for all tactical things. Definitely was worth it.
Excellent experience! I Definitely recommend purchasing from the Tactical Boutique, the staff was very helpful, and got through the paperwork and red tape quickly and proficiently.
Stopped by today, and as always the guys were welcoming and knowledgeable. I bought a membership to the range, and it is FANTASTIC. It is a high tech two lane range. One thing to note is that it only goes out to about 30 feet, so while it is amazing for close range tactical training, it wouldn’t be the only firearm range you’d need if you want to go to longer distances or work with rifles (though pcc’s are permitted). Drills and scenarios can be selected right from the lane, working shoot/no shoot as well as timed drills. There is an interactive video based training system (with live fire!) available as well that I’m looking forward to trying out. Ammo was available at pricing as good as anywhere you’re likely to find it during these ammo-shortage days. The RSO was friendly and attentive. Can’t wait to get back!
Awesome place, small but quite nice. Quality instructions, professional range management, great staff. Signed up for a membership after my first 30 min session - highly recommend!
Fantastic purchase transaction. The legal purchase of firearms in CT is a process that can take a very long time if not managed appropriately. Darren and his staff were both knowledgeable and efficient in providing a high quality experience. Looking forward to returning when the range opens next year.
Good experience, nice and helpful people.
Great experience purchasing my fire arm.A1 customer service highly recommended
I stopped in to check The Tactical Boutique out after stumbling upon them on Facebook, and I couldnt have had a better experience. The firearm store itself is small, but very clean, well organized, and with knowledgeable awesome staff. The real fun began when I was told there was a range there, and Jody came up to give me a tour. Jody showed me the dojo that is also a part of the complex, and I was blown away, it is amazing. I am hoping to get my daughter into a BJJ class there asap. Jody took me out to their range, which was one of the most advanced setups I have ever seen. Their setup here is awesome, with low light setting drills and strobes available, as well as projector-led drills coming soon that look amazing. I will for sure be back, and look forward to it. HIGHLY recommended.
It was my first time shopping here and was treated like a regular. It’s always the small shops that have the best customer service. This place is a hidden gem and the staff is top notch. Very friendly and very knowledgeable on firearms and ammunition. I will definitely be returning for future purchases.
Great shop with respectful and knowledgeable staff. Solid inventory and a comfortable shopping experience.
Great friendly staff . I love there state of the art range . Also they actually have ammo !!!
I been to quite a few but these guys are the best. as of now i will alwasy toke my business to them.
Darin and Tom run a great little shop right here in West Hartford. Tom is very knowledgeable about firearms and more than willing to let you know the ins and outs of everything in the stores inventory. I am more than happy to bring them business. Support the little guy. Shop local!
Such a great experience! Darren took his time and went through the best options for my search and needs. I highly recommend this locally owned store to anyone looking.
Great service ...
Great experience, very friendly, great prices and super easy pickup from an online order. Highly recommend!
Ive been a customer even before the shop officially opened. I had several firearms transfers via their FFL.Ive continued to patronize this shop because the owner is an outstanding individual. Polite, respectful, helpful and friendly. He has hired a gentleman that continues this level of excellence.The shop is on the smaller side, but is well stocked with the more popular brands of firearms, ammo and accessories.Prices are actually good to very good to excellent. Its surprising, because it is a smaller shop. Either way, I would prefer to pay an extra 20 bucks and be treated with respect and in a timely manner.TL;DR: Excellent service, respectful service, very good prices.
Just recently purchased a Beretta PX4 Storm at Tactical Boutique and the customer service here is outstanding. I just got my permit so im very new to firearms as well as purchasing it, Tom made the whole process very easy and comfortable. Super friendly and informative. He took times answering all my questions and educating me about different types of firearms. Definitely will be back here again soon. Thanks Tom !
I had an excellent buying experience at The Tactical Boutique! The owner, Darin, and the manager of the shop, Tom, were both awesome and very knowledgeable; both of them helped me find my ideal purchase. I had a lot of questions before coming down, and Darin personally helped me over the phone numerous times; his customer service is outstanding. The same goes for Tom, who even stayed a little late so that I could find my ideal purchase. The inside of the shop was also very clean and well-kept! I will be doing all of my shopping at The Tactical Boutique going forward. Thank you, Darin and Tom!
Excellent experience. Truly personalized service and smooth transaction both at the online store and in person. The owner, Darin, has been very responsive to my inquiries whether by email or phone. Inside the shop, Tom was knowledgeable, helpful, and answered my questions thoroughly. When I was ready to purchase, the paperwork and transaction were painless - I was in and out in 45 minutes. All of this was a welcome and marked contrast to the typical big box store experience. I saved some money on the purchase, too.I appreciate their accessibility, depth of knowledge, approach, professionalism, and discretion, and feel this is a better way to shop for firearms. I especially appreciate that they can cater to someone who is an expert and has specific requests, just as well as someone who is a new permit holder (or anyone in-between) with respectful, friendly, appropriate service and products.The shop is beautiful and clean, and is well stocked for its small size. They also have a well-chosen compliment of ammo, bags, accessories, and tactical stuff.
Great customer service! Darin runs a great shop and is kind, patient, and knowledgeable.
Just heard about this shop, and being local I figured Id ship an item over there for a transfer, as well as take a look at the shop while there. Darin was very responsive and helpful to set up the transfer, and right when it showed up I got a call from Tom to stop by! Ended up spending a good 45 minutes chatting with Tom and checking out some of their products. Both these guys are very knowledgeable and friendly, and the service is bar none! Will definitely be stopping by more often.
Fantastic customer service!!! Works with you within reason. Fast and easy process!! Bought two guns from here already, and I definitely will not stop there😁😁
Purchased an item not available in any of my local shops. Quick delivery, they gave a time and place for pick up, wonderful service. Timely responses for questions over Facebook link. Will Definitely support this business! Thanks guys!Obviously my son stole my acct and is not purchasing hehe.Thanks again.
I just purchased the DSI 15 from them. This is my second purchase and I couldn’t be happier. They set the bar pretty high after my first purchase and they somehow exceeded it once again! I’m a small business owner and it’s very important to support great local businesses like this one. You will get an excellent deal and legendary service that you won’t find at a larger retailer.Plus Darin and Tom have the knowledge, expertise, and are just really good guys that you’ll enjoy doing business with. Please check them out before you make a purchase somewhere else because you’ll be happy that you did.
Someone actually spoke to me!! They were a huge help. They didnt have what I wanted, but informed me who DID have it even though they wouldnt make a dime from me. This is my first stop from now on.Bill C.
A friend of mine recommended The Tactical Boutique to me recently and it was an excellent experience purchasing my new Ruger SR22. Both Darin and Tom were able to answer all of my questions and their knowledge and expertise in firearms is by far the best of any shop I’ve purchased from. Before you make a purchase anywhere else I would contact them first. You will get a great deal and have a far better experience than their competition....
Purchased a firearm from an on line retailer and completed the transfer at the Tactical Bouquet. Small shop, personal service, extremely easy firearms transfer at a very reasonable cost. This is the very first time I used this business and won’t go anywhere else from this point forward.
The Tactical Boutique is a small shop with an excellent presentation. Clean and modern with great lighting and a nice little selection of firearms. The owner is very friendly and helpful, a level of service you dont typically see around here when shopping firearms.
Small boutique store, big on customer service. Recently bought a shotgun online and had it delivered to this FFL and had a great experience. Darin was really responsive when I asked if I can ship it to his store, replied to my email very quickly and called me when it arrived for pickup. Tom processed all the paperwork and answer all my questions with their in-store products.I would definitely recommend as an FFL and if you are buying locally check them out.
Highly recommend! Owner is a stand up guy. Great prices and awesome customer service. Stress free environment and very quick in and out!
Super female friendly! The best thing about this shop is the quality and care. Questions are answered without making you feel awkward for asking. Making an appointment is easy, and the sales process is quick and painless. I also did some training through them, and I found the instructor to be knowledgeable and patient. Ill definitely be back.
Amazing customer service and they do everything they can to make the process quick and easy. If you are looking to purchase, look no further.
Knowledgeable and friendly staff, made the process much less taxing/stressful. We will definitely be back.
Went in to look around and was greeted by Tom immediately. He is a very friendly person and was able to answer all of my questions while giving me a lesson on 1911s :)
A hidden treasure, great customer service, very polite, I was very pleased and will continue to do business with them.
Great experience and excellent customer service! Can’t wait for the range!
I would like to say a big thank you to Darin from the Tactical Boutique, I just picked up my DSI-15 yesterday. Darin was a huge help from the start when I left a message regarding info on the DSI-15. He gave me all the info and kept in touch with me on the status of the firearm. When I made it to the shop he continued his great customer service, he answered all my questions and if he couldnt he directed me where to go. Great experience and I strongly recommend anyone who is interested in specialty firearms or accessories to see Darin at the Tactical Boutique.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff with unmatched customer service.
This is a great place Very reasonable rates for firearm transfers, great prices on firearms (plus a good selection) and a staff that can’t be beat. Come here once and you’ll come here for life
Customer service is quite outstanding. Great location Highly recommend A+
Great service great prices
I have had Darins help in purchasing and transferring everything from an original Model 1905 revolver from 1932, to an M&P 9 performance center for amateur USPSA ambitions. No matter what type of firearm I find myself looking for Darin has made the process as easy and cost effective as possible. If you dont see something in stock give him a chance to find it and he will get you an amazing price. They also do FFL transfers and are the cheapest and quickest around. If you have questions theyre happy to answer them, my questions have even gotten responses within 30 mins on a Sunday!For anyone in the Hartford / West Hartford area this place offers a huge convenience to some of the other major stores. Unlike some of those big stores, you will actually get someone who cares and wants to find you something that fits the qualities YOU are looking for, not what theyre trying to push that day. I believe they also offer a bunch of practical classes as well but havent been able to find the time to take one.
Good service with Tom.
Knowledgeable and friendly staff
