"We always get fantastic service from the experts in this shop. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable…all of the things you look for in a great business."

Steve_n

"They sold me a dead air mask 22lr suppressor a while back and it was the smoothest process ever. I was a first time suppressor buyer and it was so easy. The guy with piercings is the one who helped me and he deserves a raise. He said he’s the shipping manager if that helps to identify him. Y’all are my favorite gun shop and I always make sure I buy my ammo from here because the service is unbeatable. Best gun store and employees ever"

Gabriel Gonzales

"The best gun shop in Abq hands down!!!!! I went in with questions about sights and gun smithing needs. They have always been easy going even when the questions are basic (dumb). I asked if they do pin/weld and even though they don’t they gave plenty of recommendations. Then I asked if they sold rocksett and they don’t but the guy went in the back and gave me a small supply. Seriously!!! Who does this?! Then they walked me though exactly how to ap..."

Michael A Archuleta Archuleta

"A gun shop that should not be in business, especially in such a controversial business, you can't ask any questions, because they are considered rude!!! They put you on the speaker so all can hear, they'll tell you they didn't have to pick up the phone 5 minutes after closing,then they won't give you, your cleared FLL fire arm, so in other words, you can only have 1 of 2 amendment rights, freedom of speech or freedom to bear arms,choose your pois..."

"Reliable, Knowledgeable, Specialty driven store! Widest variety of tactical equipment and overall knowledge of the industry! Troy and Ben are some of the most helpful and selfless gun shop employees I’ve ever met, incredibly thankful to have somewhere to go with questions, etc.! Both locations on Coors and Menaul are fantastic, they’ve helped me along the way for almost a decade whether I’m purchasing from them or not, I do shop at other gun stor..."

Josh Y.

"I love the staff there and they are very knowledgeable. Ben has a great knowledge about knives as well as knife maintenance. There's a good selection of premium and custom knives there as well as exclusive Chavez knives with a unique deep space coral pattern. Everyone there including Charisma and Jason are very polite and helpful too! The firearm selection is great and the use of tablets in store to fill out the forms makes it very easy. As some..."

Manny Montes

"I just to moved to the area from Texas and was more than pleasantly impressed by The BMC Tactical crew at Menaul. Troy is an outstanding armorer, and a true gentleman. The selection of quality firearms and accessories was superb. They have Noveske, H&K, Staccato, KNIGHTS……. Every thing a hardcore larper and professional needs to fulfill their 80’s action dreams. Oh! And they have a Silencer shop kiosk as well….. best place to get squared away."

Sean Luse

"These people are SUPER friendly and helpful. They seemed just as invested in getting me the right product as I am. I don't know his name but the guy who helped me gave me a thorough overview of every single accessory, ammo, firearm, light, optic, safety training courses. Some gun stores have a group of men who ignore you and seem to look down on you and give me bad vibes. These guys though are super friendly and accommodating."

Key Advantages: Comparable Pricing: Precision Sharpening's rates are nearly equivalent to mail-order services, eliminating the need to send knives out of town. No Minimum Requir..."

"Finding a sharpening service in Albuquerque that would take kitchen knives was not easy. I emailed precision sharpening and Shawn promptly responded with a list of their prices and about how long the work would take. I took my entire kitchen knife set in and they turned them around faster than they originally thought. I received each knife back neatly wrapped in paper with a protective coating on the new edges. I have since used each knife and..."

"Dropped off grooming sheers and blades to be sharpened first thing Monday morning and 48 hours later my weekend was over and it was time to go back to work but they were only able to sharpen the blades and not my sheers which I said was fine and I will just pick them up since I need them for work and what do they do? Take an hour to go out of their was to grossly sharpen the sheers to the point they cannot go through dog hair at all!! This is esp..."

Felicity Jade

"I had used precision several times before and never had an issue. This time I brought all of my blades in, half of them would not cut hair immediately afterwards. I got a lot of attitude from them and they implied my blade drive needed to be replaced. Not only was my blade drive brand new but the blades were all cutting hair before I took them in. I dropped off the blades to be resharpened and now several blades are still not cutting hair and the..."

"Great store. Customer service not so much. 20+ minutes to get an employee to acknowledge me so I can get a zaffiri barrel is obnoxious."

Shayla Fitch

"Husband ordered a 308 online. We live an hour away. So we went to do his verification, waited the 7 days, went back and picked it up. So a month ago, we went to buy my gx2. Ran my verification, the guy, who seems new, messed up my verification and it was approved for me to take it that day. I don't have a ccw, and legally couldn't, which I'm fine with. So I had to insert ALL of my information again. I can't stand for long and was down for the nex..."

Miguel Sisneros

"Nothing but hassle from bass pro shops. They make their own rules. Showing me a document of the challenge process which I have. They need original one. Which fbi says they don’t need that. So I’m asking for the policy. All they show me is the document they need. Again which I have not the original but a copy. Everything is electronic so I got that one first. Spoke to different people can’t give me what the policy is??? Just say that’s your policy..."

Casey Spitzer

"Stopped here two weeks ago while in town. Wanted a new pair of binoculars and when your from a rural area it's nice to go in a store while your in town. The salesman seemed to be annoyed that I was asking to even look at a pair. After looking I found the pair I wanted but there was only the display model left. Before I said anything the sales associate told me he doesn't do deals on display models which is fine, but I didn't ask, so it seemed..."

"Ann (Elizabeth) was the most wonderful sales associate to work with. I was buying new pots and pans and she was experienced and knowledgeable. She took time to go to the back and get the colors I was looking for. Thank you, Ann !"

Dusan Bukva

"Well, I have bought in Sonoma Williams the most expensive Espresso Coffee machine Swiss made for over $2000,00. Needles to say In European market you can buy it 1/2 price! After 8 months broke down! Caput! They have been so nice to me when I was buying it!! When I need a help to repair it, they don't know you anymore! No help! Very arogant! What a shame! I would never ever buy from them! Everything overprice and the service sting! It is amazing ..."

Lauren Henson

"I had a gift card so tried to buy a set of pans that was marked on sale. It turns out they don't honor the sale price if they don't have the item in stock so they ordered it for us online for the full price. Linda then ordered the wrong item which took 3 weeks to arrive. Exchanging for the correct item was difficult because you have to wait for the refund, which is not instantaneous. I won't be shopping here again, store policies seem to get in t..."

Thomas

"I bought an espresso machine from them online at full price. On the day it arrived I noticed they had started running a 20% off sale on the same machine, so I called and tried to get the sale price applied to my order. They refused and told me that I could instead return the machine and re-order the exact same one at the sale price. That's just bad customer service and a needless waste of various people's time and resources. Can't say I plan on b..."
