Chuck's Firearms

My family and friends have been coming here for decades and Chuck’s is simply the best. There is no equal.

One of the few remaining mom&pop shops with competitive prices, friendly and knowledgeable owners. My questions were not ridiculed and at no time did i feel uncomfortable. Definitely will return next time

My girlfriend and I purchased an 1836 flintlock pistol last year from Chuck's. This was the last flintlock pistol ever made for the U.S. Military. We negotiated a very fair price and enjoyed the whole interaction. Will definitely be back!

I purchased my first 9mm and they were super patient and made sure I had all the I for I needed. I was made to feel at ease from the second I walked in the door. I never felt any pressure to buy and I also didn’t feel like they were trying to sell me a bunch of things I didn’t need. Overall it was a 10 out of 10 experience for me. I highly recommend Chuck’s for your next firearm purchase. Excellent spot for first time gun purchasers!

Came here with a friend on a recommendation, instantly I saw the rifle I've been wanting to get for years as it's somewhat rare to find locally and is sold at an outrageous price online. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming, very neat place that has a lot of older and vintage firearms, I would definitely recommend this gun store to anyone

I was vacationing in Atlanta from out of state. I was looking for a higher end shotgun than was available in my local market. I dealt with Jim Hinsdale. I told Jim that I really wanted to just handle certain guns, and that I really wasn’t prepared to buy that day. Jim still enthusiastically showed me several guns in the range I was looking for. He offered advice without any pressure. He did a great sales job even though I had told him not to expect a sale. Long story short, I bought the gun. This is a great “old school” gun shop. It exudes class. Their new guns as well as their used guns were top quality heirloom pieces. It has carpet, leather sofas, and is a place you would want to just hang out in for a while. Not a given with every gun store. Even their displays are more like furniture than typical gun store fixtures. If I lived in Atlanta I would buy here often. I will definitely go back when in town. Thanks to Chuck’s and to Jim. Loving my Caesar Guerini.

Came in for ammo, didn’t feel welcomed or invited at all!!! I walked in and wasn’t greeted, on my way out a Caucasian male was coming in and was greeted with open arms. Definitely won’t be coming back again. Still gave two stars because they had what I needed.

Great shop and the staff is very knowledgeable. I bought my first firearm from them. Their prices are higher than some but that is the cost of the location. They have a lot of high-end firearms like Wilson combat and they have a robust selection of high-end shotguns and hunting rifles. They have a good balance between affordable and luxury firearms along with all the accessories to go with it.

I called to inquire about a holster for my 9mm EZ & Bob told me to come on over as he has quite of few options. I stopped by within the hour & Bob said "You sound the like person who I spoke to earlier" I told him I was & he welcomed me in. Chuck's is a family-owned business offering local & personal one-on-one service, not like the big chains. All sorts of firearms including revolvers, military/assault-style, ammo, knives, optics, other accessories & even homemade Almond Butter. Bob selected the holster which actually fits a 357, yet after he opened the package & placed my firearm inside it fit just right. It ran me $52 as I was looking for something a little less, yet with Bob's service & his co-workers welcoming wittiness it was worth the sale. All employees were very friendly & knowledgeable. In addition to the huge inventory of current & vintage firearms, Chuck's also offers appraisal & transfer ownership services. I'll be back to sit with Bob & get a professional lesson a safely cleaning my firearm & treating myself to a new one.

I highly recommend Chuck's firearms for anyone in the market for gun. I purchased my first 9mm today and the first thing I noticed is how welcoming the 2 gentlemen working there were. They were both attentive and answered all of my questions while remaining patient. I don't know a lot about guns, but I wasn't made to feel like I SHOULD already know. Thank you to both gentlemen for assisting me with my purchase today. Chuck's came highly recommended by a friend, I'm happy to recommend them as well. They had a great selection and a prices that seem to fit any budget. I'll definitely be back to purchase more in the future!!

I miss the old Buckhead location. I have purchased firearms here and have always had a good experience. The staff is knowledgeable. I like the personal service as opposed to the larger stores. They always take the time to educate!

All the other low reviews have captured why this isn't a good store but I'll give the lowlights: 1) Rude staff. Very abrupt verbal interactions and stare you down just for walking in. 2) Try to lecture you on rules and regulations they know nothing about. They should know better if they claim to be gun experts. 3) Gross good ol' boy vibe. I have a feeling if I looked the part I would have been treated better. The polarizing reviews speak volumes about how they discriminate. Wall of Shame goes to Jim, some of the other guys there seem like they might be ok but sadly I've had to go through him and he's been curt and contemptuous every time. Businesses like this need to go extinct. Do better, go somewhere who actually wants second amendment rights for ALL.

Had a great experience purchasing a shot gun at Chuck's today. Great selection, and great service. Best place to buy a shotgun in Atlanta. Would recommend highly.

This store is a gem in the Atlanta area. As it gets harder to find firearms, especially higher end ones, Chucks has been consistent. They are a bit pricey and even a bit salty sometimes, but very knowledgeable and helpful. I bought my and my son's Benelli shotguns there and his deer rifle. If you're looking for a basic gun at bargain prices, this is probably not your place. But if you love guns and want something you can pass down to family one day, check out Chucks.

Drove 1.5 hrs to look at a shotgun. At first glance, it was like being a kid in a candy store, but that changed. I (a woman) was the one looking for the firearm however the gentleman with me was the one who was greeted and entertained most during the visit. Upon handing me the SG, the first thing I wanted to do was put it on safe and make sure it was empty, however the slide wasn't pulling back. Jim rather rudely pulled the SG out of my hands to engage the safety. After being scolded on what was my left and what was my right, I was ready to walk out. The condescending tone and excessive amount of mansplaining was not needed. Every bit of the interaction felt forced, and the other employees wouldn't even look in my direction. Not sure if that was due to my gender or my complexion. Except when I was looking at the smaller merchandise (ammo, mags, etc.)... they were definitely watching me then. The price of the firearm seemed higher than some other locations, but not so much higher than it would have dissuaded me from purchasing from them. The good ole boy air, however, will absolutely prevent me from purchasing there. It is 2024 - people of color participate in shooting sports and guess what, we have money too!

Not friendly or welcoming at all. I told them my name and expected them to introduce themselves. I had to ask them their names. I had antique guns and wanted an appraisal on them. Man looked at the guns and told me their worth with no explanation. He was walking off from me when I asked him why it was appraised so low. I had to initiate the questions. I won't go back there. I guess they have enough business and they don't need anymore. They get an F+ from me.

I recently purchased a Wilson Combat .300 Blackout and matching suppressor from Chuck's Firearms for thermal hunting hogs at night in southwest Georgia. I had a great shopping experience with Bart and Jim. They were both professional, knowledgeable and helpful. I recommend you visit Chuck's for the purchase of your next gun.

I went to Chuck's Firearms for the first time yesterday. Let me paint the picture first. I am a heavy set African American woman dressed in baggy sweat pants and a tee shirt with my handgun on my side. I had not read any of the negative reviews so I walked in like I always do expecting good service and to leave with what I wanted. The first thing I noticed when I entered the store was the reaction of the two white male customers. The both stopped what they were doing to look/stare at me. Me being me gave them both a head nod and proceeded to the front counter. I wasn't greeted or acknowledged by the young man behind the counter until I sat at the counter. He asked how he could help me and said that he would be with me in a moment. At this time a much older man came out and the younger man asked him to assist me. I asked him for the ammunition I needed and he retrieved it. Things got weird when I started asking questions about different ammunition and guns. The older man became very short with his answers. I felt like I had over stayed my time . I can only imagine the conversation that happened after I left. I am writing this review because after reading the reviews, my sitting at the counter in a place were I was not wanted /valued reminded me of what my ancestors did when that sat at the segregated lunch counters across the south. Just like they protested those segregated places we need to continue to demand service from these "New Age " segregated businesses. Granted , we have many places that we can go to buy our guns but businesses like this should not get a pass. If you don't want to serve the African American community or women then leave Atlanta. We need to continue to upset their way of doing business! Going in and sitting at the counter and protesting is a good start.

First impressions are everything and this place did not make the cut. Just don't go here if you want be talked to in a rude and condescending manner when asking simple questions. Also, when telling somebody they are wrong you better be right. I only had one interaction with one of the employees but it was enough to say nope not this store. This store looks like a cool place to shop with the antiquities and had potential, but I think the customer service here negates all of that.

Drove all the way to their store and it is now appointment only. Nothing on their website about this info. Very frustrated. I read articles that they don't care about their prospective customers - no customer service - they were CORRECT. Won't be buying anything from them. I guess they did me a favor.

Wow .. walked in and was not greeted at all . I approached the counter to get some information about making a purchase he never even made eye contact just pointed to the counter on the end and says guns are over there. He clearly does not want to African Americans . Don't waste ur time or money !!!!!Do better CHUCK !!!

If you are looking for unique or quality firearms, probably a good place to shop. If you are looking for decent service or to be respected as a customer, look elsewhere. These are the type of business owners/employees (and specifically gun store owners) that make customers uncomfortable by being rude, condescending, and short. They should try educating on and promoting what is an important industry.

Arrogant, pompous, doing you a favour, certainly don't need your business.

Fudd Store and Extremely Rude/Belittling. If you go in wanting to buy something they don't think you should own they will become aggressive and lecture you. I only wanted some gun grease for my AR and instead was debated with, called "bro" (even though I'm a woman), and told I could only buy gun oil. Never met a gun store that acted so Anti-2nd amendment. Never coming back.

Upon recommendation from a friend, my husband and I visited Chuck's Firearms looking for a new hunting rifle for me. We met Jim and thank goodness we did! Jim spent about an hour with me answering all of my questions and offered great suggestions based on my needs. I didn't buy the rifle that day. Instead, I went looking at four other shops and it became clear to me that I would not have the same awesome experience or level of service anywhere else. Jim knows his rifles and he was patient...I'm a first-timer. I went back the next day and bought the rifle I should I purchased right from the start. ;-) Jim spent a lot of time with me (again!) walking me through the rifle, cleaning, loading, safety, etc. The service at Chuck's Firearms is unparalleled. Everyone in this shop seems eager to please and incredibly knowledgeable. I can't wait to go back! Thanks Jim and everyone at Chuck's!

Chuck's firearms they are some Rude Rude Dude in there. I ordered a gun online and use their FFL what a mistake background check came through took it about 4 days. So I went to pick my gun up and I wanted to order another one guess what I had to go through another background check in order to purchase another gun. I guess if I was a good old boy I would have got better service. I won't be going back this world is going to hell.

Not everything is about race. They also treated me -- a white female, well-dressed -- very casually, as if I were not there to buy.

Obviously racist. An employee who is good friends with my husband recommended that we come here to purchase ammunition. When my husband walked in no one greeted him. A young man asked if he could help him. My husband asked to purchase 2 different sized rounds. He was told that he can only purchase ammunition if he purchases a firearm. Meanwhile, a white man was walking out the door with a whole case of ammunition and no firearm purchase. My husband is a licensed instructor and former fireman's dealer. Needless to say we won't be back.

I hesitate to write this negative review because Chuck's carries quality merch and keeping a small business is difficult. But, the people who work there, with the exception of the new owner, just should not be customer-facing. They drive away business by being impolite, inconsiderate and arrogant. Having had negative experiences before at Chucks, I am close to being done with them. On June 18th, I went by around 11:45am and an older, overweight grey haired employee would not let me in despite other employees and customers being inside. Apparently, I had to have an appointment made in advance, despite the foregoing. No apologies and no explanation or offer to assist. I have purchased firearms from Chucks and another one was on my in mind today -- fully prepared to buy. Instead, I drove back home and will look for another retailer who appreciates their customers. Sorry to Chuck's new owner, but he needs to clean house.

Was going to give 1 stat but they actually had inventory. The low rating is for their bad customer service. Additionally, they did ask me to wear a mask (not asking if I was vax'd) which I was fine with, however two of their employees didn't have masks on which to me didn't make sense.

This place releases an INCREDIBLE amount of NEGATIVE vibes. My wife was initially told via telephone that there was no charge for a firearm transfer. However, during her transfer appointment, the salesman attempted to charge a $45 fee. When she RESPECTFULLY disputed the charges, the salesman told her to "just leave" - in a very rude and condescending manner. We would have had no problem paying a fee had we never been told that there wasn't one. We hate to judge and think the worst of people, but in hindsight, we can't help but wonder if we were mistreated due to the color of our skin. Who knows. Nonetheless, this place has poor customer service.

Called ahead to ask if they sell gun grease. "We have tubes, bottles, all types of grease". I head to this shop and ask where the grease is, and get an earful about why grease is bad and why I should use oil. I ask where the grease is, and gentleman in black eye glasses points to shotgun grease and says that's the grease, then goes on about how I shouldn't use grease. I ask him where the other grease is, and get a reply if "bro I told you that's the grease". I came here to get some damn grease, not get a lecture on how to run ARs and AKs with oil from a shop that sells sporting shotguns. If you don't have a product, don't claim you do over the phone. If a customer wants to use grease, show them where the grease is and leave them alone if they don't ask for your advice. Grease vs oil is like 556 vs 762. At the end of the day I want to use grease, so let me use grease.

There are pros and cons to this gun store. Pros: Awesome prices on used guns. You can find some seriously great deals. The staff knows what they are talking about when it comes to big game rifles and fine shotguns. The shotgun selection is amazing. Cons: I have never been somewhere with staff this rude. They are condescending and impatient. They act like they have something better to do than help customers that are there to spend money. Although I must say, I have occasionally been in there with some staff that was not as rude. Overall, neat store. If I was to buy a fine shotgun in Atlanta I would certainly go there. Also perhaps a large game rifle.

Rude just rude. My mother was inquiring about bulk ammunition to buy for me and they were rude about it because she didn't know the particular caliber and what exactly she wanted. Then said they're only selling ammo if you're buying a gun. And hung up in her face. I then called and asked if they had any bulk 9mm fmj or .223 for sale and just told me no.

I called in to see if a specific firearm was available and thankfully it was. I went into chucks and was assisted by a man who was also a vet. He had great customer service, was friendly and attentive to us. We listened as he recommended some brands and ultimately left with our first choice. I'm not sure how they compare price wise to other shops but they definitely made "gun shopping" enjoyable. Would recommend.

Awesome, knowledgeable support staff. Great selection. I loved all the options available to round out my hunting, and shooting needs. I'll be going back frequently!

Chucks sells top tier firearms. They have a sterling reputation, are experts in arms, stand behind their products, offer fair prices. They have an outstand inventory of shotguns especially sporting shotguns. If you are interested in hunting birds and upland game - or if you are interested in something to stop dangerous game they have the equipment. They will trade with you. I have traded in two shotguns (My personal advice now is to always buy what you like and never change your mind) and purchased numerous Browning sporting clays guns, a number of Beretta autos, Baretta over-&-unders for bird hunting and not too long ago I picked up a Rizzini with 20 and 28 GA barrels. My wife has about 3 guns from here. They work carefully to fit each gun for her and have done perfect work adjusting the wood on her guns. If you like guns, this place is worth a visit just to see the collection of high quality firearms. They also have an assortment of nice used guns including (it seems to me) some lower priced examples that must have come in on trades. They have military collectables too. This place is a candy shop for hunters. A Browning Clays gun of mine developed a crack in the wood - Jack fixed it with no questions. New wood - no cost. They once sent me home with several hundred dollars worth of gun cases just to try on some shtguns in my safe... so I suppose they are the trusting type too. They have a nice collection of pistols and revolvers too.

The staff was very helpful on my first visit and have plans to continue doing business there in the future, plus I appreciate the fact they are only taking appointments during the pandemic and all the staff had mask on

Very helpful service at Chuck's. i had an issue with a firearm purchased elsewhere - they took a look and fixed my problem, no questions asked.

Bought a very nice 44 mag pistol from them last week. I also have had guns they don't carry shipped there because of convenience and closeness to my work. This review is concerning an interaction I had there this morning. I left a cleaning rod and an owners manual that went with a new gun that I had shipped there from out of town last night around 4 pm. I was asked to pull out the gun out of the box to get the serial number for registration. My fault yes that the rod and manual were left on the counter. I came this morning at opening to get the rod and was told that it was thrown away along with the owners manual and that he didnt recommend digging through the dumpster but just ordering another from the company. Its more the interaction, lack of remorse, and absence of an apology that I take an issue with. The cost of replacement was not a concern. Please also read my other reviews, I'm a very reasonable guy. Suffice to say I will take my gun purchasing elsewhere in Atlanta.

The new location of Chuck's on Miami Circle is bigger and better than the store on Peachtree, and the tradition of service and straightforward up-to-date information continues. I always enjoy my trips to this Atlanta landmark, and can still drop in and visit the Fish Hawk for fly fishing stuff just across the street! While they do sell high end, beautiful, legacy type firearms, and someday I may get a Silver Pigeon or a Guerini, my purchases have mostly been functional hunting firearms at competitive prices. I probably could have saved 20 bucks buying from a big box outdoor store, from a clerk who was working in the camping department last week, but for the best real world knowledge about the right firearm to purchase, firearm fit, and the best service after the sale, I have always sent my friends to Chuck's. Everyone I have ever referred there has been completely satisfied. All experienced shooters know that most brands/models of firearms have quirks and unique design features. Some weapons simply function better with different brands/weights of ammunition, some accessories fit better and last longer than others, etc. I love the M2 Benelli I purchased, but it took a little adjustment and advice at Chuck's before it became my favorite duck gun. I've been a Chuck's customer over 40 years and since my last Yelp review was in 2010 - thought it was time to update.

Chuck's is the gold standard in the north Georgia area for firearms dealers. They generally don't carry "mass market" firearms with the exception of the odd Ruger or Remington. Where they excel is in semi-custom on up. Semi-custom means to me Kimber... then Cooper & Dakota on up to the sky is the limit full on custom and collectors pieces. And they are in stock too! If they don't have it they will order it for you...as they have done for me in the past. They are to my knowledge the only Cooper rifle dealer in North Georgia, and the only one that has an annual Cooper "trunk show" - where the folks from Cooper show off their best in class work. Yes, I'm high on Cooper rifles. The one I own regularly prints three shot groups of 0.12" at 100 yards! As far as smooth bores go I get lost in the world of Beretta which is all my budget can take. But here at Chuck's that is the entry point. The staff here is about as good as it can get, highly knowledgable, and well experienced with the fine equipment they sell. Going to Africa, Alaska, or some other exotic destination; or going to south Georgia to shoot hogs; or just to the range to punch holes in paper, they have the "best in class" tools for you. With a big comfy sofa in the back of the sales store, it can be a great place to go on a Saturday morning to exchange some "testosterone tales". As for the fairer sex, have 100% faith that you will be treated with the same courtesy and respect as any male customers. Neophytes too, go in with an open mind, and ask tons of questions. You will enjoy the best sales experience of any firearms dealer I have found. The ambiance of the store is greatly enhanced by the numerous "eclectic collectibles" that are the personal property of the store's owner "Jack". Old tin signs, posters, and the coolest collection of "face jugs" abound - And the parking; it's free, and it's in Buckhead. So why not five stars... Simple no gunsmith. Sure, rents in Buckhead are at a premium, and therefore so is space. And yes some of the chemicals and processes (like bluing or color case hardening) have some fairly noxious odors; I am measuring against the ideal. (I am old enough to remember the original Abercrombie & Fitch in Manhattan with the amazing gunsmiths of Griffin & Howe on premise)

Nice store, high end , some knowledge, but website is not correct description of what they are. They know little to nothing about antique guns or military rifles, and do not do on site free evaluations of those guns. I walked in with mine and was told they don't do that, differeant than what the website says.

I had a very good experience at Chuck's today buying my first (and hopefully only ever) firearm for home safety. The gentleman at the store were knowledgable and kind and helped me feel as comfortable as possible in, what was for me, a purchase I didn't want to make. The only reason I gave one star less is that the guy who personally helped me was not a regular employee there and kept trying to sell me things because "he liked them" even though the regular store employees were saying they weren't necessary since I'm not a gun enthusiast and will only be practicing for gun safety, rather than "fun". I would most certainly go back here if I have any other firearm needs and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in the market.

The selection of fine fire arms, collector pieces and everyday guns is unsurpassed for the Atlanta Market. The staff is as knowledgeable as any gun dealers I have ever encountered. over the past three years I have purchased three fire arms from Chucks and will continue to be a long term customer.

Very knowledgeable. Great place to go to sell any firearms that you're trying to get rid of fast without getting ripped off. Thanks again.

The owner and manager were super chill. Prices are more than fair. Good brand ammo and accessories for great prices. Will shop again

Easily, the best gun store in Atlanta. The employees are all extremely knowledgeable and the selection of guns, ammunition and accessories is very good. Jack runs a fine shop. Very lucky to have them in Buckhead.

Guns in Buckhead? Isn't that what did this whole big party in? Anyhow, the legend lives on. Ace in the hole for firearms. Gotta love weapons! Bang! Bang!

These folks are top-shelf. Very helpful and friendly service. I can't recommend them more and will go back as needs arise.

I recently went to Chuck's to buy my first pistol (Sig Sauer P226 MK25), and was really impressed with the knowledgeable staff, and selection of firearms. I didn't feel pressured to buy, and really felt like every question or concern I had was answered. Not to mention, I got a great deal. I would recommend this place to anyone.
