Best gun shop in Springfield, MA area?

Guns & Gear in Agawam. Their service is Four Seasons like.
The best is Guns and Gear in Agawam. They have the best prices in this area and a good selection. Their prices are almost as good as FSguns.
My personal favorite is Personal Defense Specialist in south hadley. They have a very large selection of handguns. They are not the cheapest place, but they will take care of you. Joe (the owner) and Dave are good guys.
The worst are the Ware gun shop. That guy is an @$$ and is incredibly rude, closely followed by GUNS INC (formally AAA guns) in west springfield.
Corrected the name of the Ware gun shop.

Guns and Gear is the best in this area, and I check them all out when I can. I am also fortunate that they are less than 10 minutes from my house too.
Guns and Gear is an awesome store. Also, check out Auto Sport Distributors in Agawam... about 5 minutes down the road from Guns and Gear, and the owner Walt is great guy (though he is chomping at the bit to move to Florida and out of this state). Guns and Gun Parts of West Springfield is a very good little shop, and even though I know a lot of folks don't much like Guns, Inc. I'm a fan of the store.

Just was in guns and gear and they are pretty low on inventory, but they said they have quite a large order coming in soon.
Guns and gun parts in West Springfield and if youre willing to drive R&R in belchertown.
Guns inc sucks plain and simple i dont shop there for any reason.

Guns and gear have a FB page and she posts on there when they have an AR rifle. It's first come first serve tho. They are usually gone in minutes!!! Didn't like the vibe i got at Guns inc. not helpfull at all.

I think his kid is running it now, i know it's still open.
Yes he did...RIP Joe......but his son, Joe, owns and runs it now.
The new owner, also named Joe, is his son. I know Joe pretty well.

Another vote for R&R. Another vote against Guns, Inc... in spite of the new ownership, the prices are still high and the service is sub-par.
Guns & Gun Parts is a small shop in West Springfield, but the owner is nice, prices seem to be decent, and I've bought various accessories there.
I STILL haven't been to Guns & Gear in Agawam!![[frown]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/003.gif "Frown [frown]")

Try personal defense. I'm telling you, he is a great guy.

Yet another vote for Guns and Gear. Hands-down my favorite folks to deal with, and you can find some very nice deals on used. R&R gets a decent deal now and again, but aren't exactly the most pleasant.
My mother always told me if you can't say anything nice..... so...... no comments on Guns, Inc.
