Mackey’s Landing Firearms

I have been buying guns for nearly 40 years. This store is full of some rude and plain mean people… stay away!!! They seem very annoyed to answer serious gun questions even when the answers that they provide are very vague.
If u want to experience the worst customer service on the planet … This is ur place.
Keep driving and spend ur money with someone who enjoys shAring gun knowledge.

I’m not sure what to think of this place. They have a huge selection. But I wasn’t impressed with the staff. I asked to look at a Colt and was promptly asked if I had my pistol purchase permit. They wouldn’t even let me LOOK unless I had a permit. You don’t have to have a purchase permit to handle a gun. Pretty rude staff.

CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE!!! This place does have a lot of guns, it’s unfortunate that they are way overpriced and you have to make your way thru the thick haze of cigarette smoke from the two seahags at the front counter. Their ammo selection is wide, but the hard to find ammo like 9 mm, .22lr. .223, .40,. is no where to be found, just like everywhere else. There were two older guys working in the store who were as rude as it gets. I drove over 60 miles one way to be nothing but let down. As I was leaving the two old grumpy guys were unpacking a shipment of ammo with .22lr in it. I asked to purchase a box and was told I would have to buy a gun from them in order to buy the ammo.
In these tight times, this place wants to gouge us and rip us off. They might as well be a Pawn Shop!
Do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY!!!

Let me be upfront. I don’t know much about guns and honestly don’t really care much to learn. But I know that Mackey’s has the largest selection of guns and ammo this side of the Mississippi and south of the Mason Dixon line. Hyatt’s in Charlotte claims to have 7000+ and Mackey’s claims 6500+, I’ve been to both and I have to say on presentation and selection Mackey’s takes the cake. They have a great way of showcasing the guns and are happy to unlock the racks to let you see it up close. Even though that’s where my knowledge/​interest in guns/​ammo ends — I would highly recommend Mackey’s to anyone with an interest in firearms. The location is great as it’s right on Hwy 64 on your way to or from the beach.

Easily the largest selection of firearms you’ll ever see outside of a gun show. They have some surprising antiques (i.e. Springfield 1870 Trapdoor). However, the prices are way too high and the people are sort of snobbish. If you really, really know what you want and don’t mind paying, then it’s worth the trip. If you’re shopping around, don’t bother.

I am thoroughly impressed! They don’t lie when they call this place «the largest collection of guns in the country». I don’t doubt it. If you’re looking for some off the wall type of rare ammunition, they’ve got it. Want a .50 cal BMG just to feel cool, they’ve got em. Shotguns, handguns, hunting rifles, you name it they’ve got it. Even WWII era guns from every country for the collector connoisseur in you.
They also have a number of different accessories for guns and a shop for repairs and cleaning. The only negative I had about this place is that they don’t allow you to handle any guns if you don’t have a purchase permit or concealed carry permit. That meant it was a bummer for me just walking around staring in awe. But no matter what side of the political argument you’re on, this is a place worth checking out. Prices, by the way, appear high but as I recall the salesperson said that included tax.

Holy crappola. I had to stop to see if this place is as big as the sign on the side of the road suggests, and it is. All I can say is that if you like being in a showroom with (literally) thousands of guns around you, then this is your place. And if you don’t like being around (literally) thousands of guns, then keep truckin’ towards the coast.
