Whittaker Guns

Sort of in the middle of nowhere (no offence to the locals) but worth the drive! Nice people and you will usually find a good deal here. They will deal with you but no low ballers! You know who you are! Don’t dry fire guns as they have practice caps. Range also.
Around west KY this place is gun Mecca…

The prices are good on hand guns.
The service is very unprofessional and I will never give a good word about this place. I will never ever return here.

Lots of guns and supplies… however, their staff certainly need some training in customer service. Most of them appeared more interested in eating pizza than selling us a gun! I assume they rest on their laurels and feel they don’t need to be as customer friendly.

This gun mega-​store has two things going for it: selection and price. They claim to be the largest gun store in KY and I have no reason to doubt them. It’s certainly the largest selection of guns under one roof I’ve seen outside of a good sized gun show — and they have more guns than some of the smaller shows I’ve attended. I agree with the first reviewer that their dry firing policy is a little silly, but they make up for it by always having a good selection of left handed rifles and by also occasionally have surplus rifle powders in 8lb jugs. I live three hours away at least and I still try to work up a Whittakers/​Moonlite BBQ road trip once a year.

Whittaker Guns claims to be the largest gun store in Kentucky, and I believe them! With over 6000 guns in stock, this is easily the biggest gun store I’ve ever been in, selection wise. Their main bread and butter seems to be hunting arms. They have a large selection of new and used rifles for game big and small. There’s endless supplies of bolt rifles, and they’re the only place I’ve seen that carries either Cooper or Dakota custom rifles (too rich for my blood). It’s not all expensive safari and big game rifles though. There’s lots of models from Savage, Remington, Winchester, Tikka and others, in both rimfire and centerfire cartridges. One whole side of an aisle is dedicated to AR-​15s and the like, and there’s a half aisle of youth firearms as well. What really seems to be missing is surplus rifles. There’s a few right when you walk in, but not many for a shop this size. With 6000 guns in stock, I figured I’d see at least one K31, but there were none to be had. None of the carbine length Mosin-​Nagants either. As far as handguns go, they have quite a bit of both revolvers and semi-​autos. There are also tons of accessories, like magazines from almost every manufacturer, and lots of optics and mounts for said optics. They have tons of ammo in just about every caliber you could want. Their prices seem to be decent on most guns and ammo as well. The thing that bugged me the most about this place is the ridiculous «If you dry-​fire it, you bought it» signs posted everywhere. I could understand not allowing dry firing of rimfire guns, but there’s no way I would purchase a centerfire rifle or handgun unless I’ve had a chance to dry fire it. They may make exceptions for certain models if you ask, I’m not sure. Also, staff doesn’t seem to go out of their way to help you, but then again, they stay pretty busy. If you’re in the area, stop on by, but I don’t think it’s worth any long distance drives to check this place out.
