A&P Arms

I first walked in a bit timid; I had never been to this place before. The experience itself was new to me, I was there to rent a handgun and shoot on the range. Didn't take long for me to feel like I was welcome though, Curtis was very helpful and nice. I've talked personally to four other staff members, and they've all been helpful as well. One even came in with me and shot in the lane next to me after instructing me on some things.

They have a list of reasonable common sense rules, that will probably keep most of the, as a previous reviewer said "gunslingers" or thug-types out of there. I don't want any gangstas anywhere near me, or near anyone at all. "Gangstas" are a blight.

I only really dislike one rule, and that is the firing rate limit. With time when I'm more accurate with single shots, I'm going to want to be able to rapid fire to work on my control and accuracy there, and I don't think I'll be allowed to. Every rule is there for a good reason though, and it keeps things safer in a world where lots of people are careless, so I'm for that.

Along side that, they have some fair prices, matching that of several popular online gun stores. I haven't price checked everything, but personal things that I've looked at like AR-15 type railed handguards run at about the same price as you'd find online. Combine that with the customer service, responsible and intelligent staff, helpful and nice people, and you have a A&P Arms in Lynnhaven, an excellent place for your firearm needs.

• Pros: Responsible, helpful staff with common sense.
• Cons: None really, A&P exceeded my expectations.

Great experiance

by bsaxman at Citysearch

1st time purchase, went to 4 other shops on the peninsula and southside on a sunday where I recieved horrible customer service or no service whatsoever. went to a&p on a crowded sunday minutes before closing and got the best service I've ever had at a firearms shop. Curtis was very knowledgeable and curtious, funny guy (can't miss 'em... he's 9ft tall!) handled all of my newbie questions and took the time to show me and let me handle at least a dozen weapons before I made my selection. all in all I am very pleased, I'll go back again.

• Pros: great customer service, HUGE selection
• Cons: very crowded on the weekend I went
