Valley Firearms in Shelton? Haha. I heard it called valley ripoffs more times than not. Bad attitudes, crap selections, and way overpriced. I bought about 6 guns from them about 8 years ago and haven't bought one there since. Haven't gone there in at least 6 years now because the attitude was still the same. There attitude is the reason the landlord did not renew their lease when they were down the road.
CT Tactical in Orange? In the same plaza as Corner pocket across from IHOP. Just bought a new glock there today. Real cool guys, fair prices, knowledgeable, they came recommended, and I will be going back there again. Not a huge selection but they can order anything.
K5 arms in Milford? I spend at least 5k there years ago and have not gone back since years ago. Overpriced and poor attitudes.
Newington Gun Exchange in Newington? Highly recommended. Great customer service. I have about 7 guns from them and drive people up there to buy guns from them too.
Hoffmans in Newington? Good prices and great huge selection. Unfortunately that has created an arrogance from most of the staff there and extensive wait times.
Bethany Firearms in Bethany? Small quite shop that you'll drive right by without a GPS. Very nice personalities and helpful. Not much of a selection though. I'd expect more after going there over 15 years.
X-tactical in Naugatuck? Over priced, rude staff, no product knowledge, and crap selection.
Mitz Northeast in Seymour? Small and quiet place that I drove by for years without knowing it was there. Ok selection, by all means not big though, higher end prices, the place to go for antique guns, nice staff, but not very knowledgeable. They will however get the answer for you.
Cabelas in East Hartford? I bought one gun from there and I will NEVER go back. They took forever, made you wait to buy, are over priced on almost everything, and they guys have suck ass attitudes.
When I asked him about price he was open to "I'll see what I can do" which is good enough for me.
