Silver Bullet

At first I was hesitant to come to this place because of some negative comments to this place. So I came to see If was going to get disrespected for being a newbie to the hobby. All of it was an opposite of what I expected. Frank the owner is very nice guy and very helpful. With all the question I have asked him, he answered them all patiently. I’m so thankful that there is a store in my town and also met a true gentleman that’s very helpful for a guy in this hobby.

I will never return to the silver bullet and I will never recommend it to anyone. I read some reviews about the place before going and I didn’t understand why everyone was hating on the owner. I read that if you are respectful and show your firearms ID card as soon as you walk in you’ll be fine, so I did just that. The owner was ok at first but became short tempered with me when I wanted to see multiple guns, as if I were inconveniencing him (I was the only one in the shop at that time by the way). I asked to see one rifle, I believe a S&W AR, and he looked at me and said it was out of my price range. Ok dude, you don’t know me. The owner thinks he is all knowing, the alpha, AND the omega. I left his store disrespected and heated. If you want a great gun store with super friendly and helpful people (who actually smile) go to Right to Self Protect (rtsp) on rt.10. After leaving the silver bullet that same day I went to rtsp and spent a grand on a DPMS AR. They hooked me up with a sweet stock and installed rails and a rear sight for me. Silver bullet does not deserve your business, time, or energy. Do yourself a favor and just go to rtsp, you’ll be happy you did, I promise. I don’t see how people are defending/​justifying the owner’s unnecessary attitude. Thank you for your time.

Its been a few years since my first review in 2012, and I’ve been a repeat customer. You won’t find many more knowledgable gunsmiths, and the owner Frank is a super knowledgable guy. Don’t touch any guns without asking, as is the same with any professional gun shop, and just show him respect and you will get it in return. I just bought another rifle from Frank today.
Is he the cheapest? No. His prices are a little higher than some mailorder, but still reasonable, and he will stand behind it unlike allot of these mail order places. He can also guide you on what are good options depending on what you want versus some shops which will sell you wantever they can make the most money on. Some unique and interesting buys.
The shop and owner are really a rare gem.

I have bought all my hand guns, AR’s and shotguns here. Frank is a great guy and once you meet common ground, he will give you the world! I have learned a lot about firearms from Frank and he always lets me know when there is something new or about to hit the market. I always support the local shops in order to build a relationship where I can trust the knowledge and honesty of the sale. I am on a first name basis with Frank and I am always satisfied with my sale and the firearm I walk home with that day. Thanks Frank! you are the man!!!

Frank is a great guy the order of the day at his shop is respect. If you have a bad experience at Silver Bullet keep one thing in mind, you get what you give.
The one man show is run by the only true gunsmith in NJ. He did a legal FFL magazine conversion for me, 5 — 17 round mags to 15 rounds. One broke and Frank repaired it and paid the return shipping to boot.
Walk in introduce yourself show your FID be polite and respectful and you will get it back in return.
He always has ammo, and a wide variety of firearms. Plenty of choices for accessories and fair pricing. I travel over an hour from my home to go there plus I like hanging out with Frank he as funny and personable. I highly recommend the Silver Bullet it is my favorite gun shop in New Jersey

The Silver Bullet has a lot of inventory, both new and used. I have purchased two handguns from Frank and some accessories for my AR. i have to agree that the problem here is the attitude. It would be nice if i could get a least a smile when i’m handing over $ 1,000 per gun. I’m not looking for a friend, but geez i felt i was wasting his time.
I have since been to RTSP in Randolph, who has 3x the inventory and staff who are knowledgable and respectful.

Just wanted everyone to see what i bought at the bullet hole in Belleville. The price was $ 200 less yes thats right 200! With the extra $ i bought a extra mag and alot of ammo! The bullet hole is a much better shop and theres not attitude which is this meat heads main problem other then his prices.

This is a decent gun shop in the middle of rockaway. They guy there is pretty straight forward and as friendly as a gun shop own can be… if you show your firearms ID they generally become slightly more open to talking to you.
There is a large selections of rifles and shotguns for the size of the store. He has a fair amount of pistols as well.
Recently picked up a holster for a competition, prices are good. Just know you cannt charge anything under 50 bucks.
