Went here the other day to get some reloading supplies. The staff were friendly and extremely knowledgable. I was able to get the powder and primers I needed and they were at the price I exactly expected to pay. I will definitely be back when I need more powder, projectiles, primers, and so forth. FYI: They had an enormous supply of arms available as well as ammo, reloading materials, accessories, and such. Great all in one store.

This place takes a lot of flack and granted it is not the cheapest place in town. That being said I’ve recently started buying my guns there and have actually met the owner(Charles) and a few of the guys and all of them are knowledgeable and friendly in general. Its a perfect example of shopping at Walmart or a mom and pop shop. If you want somebody who knows whats going on with your gun and will be there the next time you go in then give them a shot. Lol. Furthermore, if you’re considering taking the CHL course I took it through them today and it was amazing! Daniel Sickles, the instructor is awesome! Again, it isn’t the cheapest, but when it comes to guns who wants the cheapest? This place isn’t for the typical cheap ass. It isn’t like its double the cost its usually within a few dollars and the price match if you’re that tight. They won me over when the owner actually came out and talked to me one on one and showed me some guns that I was contemplating and showed me how much he personally knew about the vast array of guns they have and that are being made today. If you want a cheap gun then keep shopping at Walmart. If you actually care about service and about quality of gun then check them out.

I have been in here several times and have bought a couple of firearms. I had some modifications made on my AR-15 and they did a great job. I got good deals on the guns I bought there. I looked elsewhere and I got a better price than I could at Academy or Gander Mountain. I agree that there ammo is sometimes overpriced, but I was in there the other day and it was cheaper than Academy. Gary has always been helpful when I go in there and has taken his time to show us what we wanted to look at. They are knowledgeable about their firearms.

Yes some of their prices are higher than some, but they always have a huge selection of whatever you need. The customer service is very friendly and knowledgeable and the store is located in a safe & convenient location. I’ve been trading at this store for at least 15 years and I’ve had nothing but positive experiences here.

I’ve been in this store many times and It’s always been packed with people. I recently bought the Glock 42 with the night sight and feel I got an excellent deal! I also got a Gerber knife at a great price. Thank you Gary for making my experience a very positive one. I’ll be back!

Same story as everyone else. They are incredibly OVERPRICED! They had a used Glock 26 for sale that was $ 15 cheaper than a brand new one(no night sights). Unbelievable! I’m not from Lubbock and don’t understand how a business that gouges its customers like this can still be in business. Find another store, they don’t deserve your business or money!

I’ve been there a few times to buy gun cleaning supplies, and browse their inventory, but never to buy a gun, as I have always been well aware they are overpriced. But I stopped in today to pick up some primers, and«overpriced» has become an understatement. Indeed, if you intend to buy a firearm, ammo, or anything else from here, you better bring lube because you and you’re wallet are gonna get treated like a prison bride. I understand that prices are higher across more or less all aspects of the firearms industry, but what’s going on at this place is outrageous. I can’t see how anyone doesn’t have enough sense NOT to pay the prices they are asking. For example, they’re trying to get $ 70 for a 20rd box of Federal Premium .270 – a box of ammo that would run you less than $ 40 at Academy. Granted, they have inventory when pretty much everyone else does not, but their prices explain why. So, no need to shop here unless you’re desperate. Even if you like to support local businesses, there are plenty others in Lubbock that will not try to bend you over a barrel. One might be inclined to think that Sharp’s prices could be justified by a high standard of customer service – NOTTRUE. As stated in other posts, it’s nothing special, and subpar at best. Finally, I’ve never used their gun smith, so I can’t speak directly as to whether they offer quality or value in this regard. However, the reason I have not used them is because I’ve talked to others who said they were awful and«wouldn’t even trust them to mount a rifle scope.»

Do not buy here… They are extraordinarily expensive and clearly taking advantage of Americans … Overprice is an understatement… Yet another example of a business making it their business to suck us dry…

I don’t go into this shop anymore, because I have never had a positive experience there. I’ve been in multiple times over the years, and the staff is fairly rude and inattentive, they have little interest in showing you firearms that you’re considering, and are not interested in discussing firearms and alternatives when you’re trying to make a decision. This, coupled with higher prices than the other stores in town make Sharp Shooters a very poor decision to do business with. There are better gun shops in town that deserve our business.
