Willey Brothers Firearms

There are many small businesses in Reno that simply amaze you. When the business in question also embraces our pioneering history, culture and not so distant «wild west flavor» of our past. it just works. Willey Brothers hits the nail on the head, in so many catagories, in several ways. First… CURB APPEAL… The historic value of parking in front of their store and simply going for a walk and then entering the historic building is worthy of a vacation destination… (keep your kids off the antiques)…
The bad reviews seem to be scheels snobs. or cabelas crybabies. Willey Brothers greeted us as we came in… lets us browse. reengaged with us again… answered our questions. showed us several options. AND ordered me a gun w/​xtra mags from thier distributor that I was looking to own… and called to tell me that gun and feed troughs had arrived. I was not able to get therexright away… so he held it in his safe for me. THATS GOING THE EXTRA MILE IN MY BOOK. EXCELLENT SERVICE WITH FOLLOW UP!
Overall Experience. 5 stars… Good pricing. Great Atmosphere. Nice selection of modern and collectable firearms and regalia. Excellent Customer Service! EARL AND HIS WIFE WENT THE EXTRA MILE FOR US FROM START TO FINISH. awesome folk with a great Nevadatude!
I can buy a gun anywhere… I LIKE TO SUPPORT OUR LOCAL MOM AND POP STORES THAT PROTECT THE 2^nd AMENDMENT CULTURE, CCW RIGHTS AND AMERICAN VALUES THAT MAKE NEVADA GREAT… WILLEY BROTHERS FIREARMS HAS MY BUSINESS. …

Walked into purchase a firearm after taking a gun awareness class. After 20 minutes of looking at the firearms no one asked if they could help me. Guess they aren’t interested in selling to women. I walked out.

Earl charged us $ 1000 up front to order a revolver. He said it would be in on Feb 18. When I called on that day to check the status, he said it was not in and that he had no idea when it would be in. When I told him that was «not acceptable» he became very irate then he made up excuses like it was a holiday week and he had someone out sick. At the time of purchase, he made no mention that the holiday might be an issue and the last time I checked, having an employee out sick would not prevent the mail from being delivered. Next, earl said he cancelled the order so how could the revolver been received one day late as he claims? Further, Earl claims this was a «straw purchase» between my father and I which is not possible because we both have valid CCW permits that Earl was aware of because at the of the purchase, he said if we had our CCW’s, he would waive the background check fee and we told him we both have our CCW’s. Also, He also stated that the purchase was made on Feb 13^th but the receipt clearly how’s Feb 11^th. Earl and his business have shown that they are incompetent business owners but the worst part is his blatantly false criminal allegations of trying to make a straw purchase. If what he claims were true, as a licensed firearms dealer, he violated the law by not reporting it as he threatened to do and the reason he has not is because he knows the trouble he will be in with the ATF for making such false allegations. What believe happened is Earl made a mistake in placing the order and/​or did not follow up on the order like he should have and instead of fixing the problem let his pride get the better of him. Clearly, Earl and some of his employees are habitual liars and it is their loss, not ours. I will be sure my friends and family know about the very poor treatment my father and I were treated with at Willey Brothers.

Amazing selection, super friendly. I love all the unique and used guns they carry. This is NOT your average gun shop. We pop in here every time we go to Reno to oogle all the stuff Californians are missing out on.

Great setup, with awesome people. Found exactly what I was looking for and got a great deal. I will definitely be coming back here and have already recommended this place to friends!

My favorite gun shop! If you want to sell a gun they will take the book out and show you the value of it! Great prices and very honest people.
