Awesome store with a large and diverse inventory. I purchased my first handgun from John Browns a month or so ago and have already went back to put another on layaway. Yes they offer free layaway making it that much easier to acquire any gun desired.
The staff is very knowledgeable and do not bother the customer with aggressive sales tactics, but instead offer educated conversation or will educate the buyer on any firearm of interest. Being new to the gun world and instantly hooked, each week I go in to make a payment towards layaway, a staff member is always willing and happy to show me how to operate a gun I may be looking at in addition to answering any questions that I may have without making it apparent that I am a "rookie." In other words, feel free to ask questions as you won't made to feel stupid for doing so, but instead you will be supplied a thorough explanation and answer to whatever it is you are asking.
What I like most about John Brown's Armory, aside from the family like atmosphere within the store, is that the staff informs the customer regarding pro's and cons to any gun of interest and without trying to upsell you they'll offer alternatives.
All used guns seem to have be cleaned, inspected and repaired (if necessary) so buyers should feel confident that they are purchasing a quality firearm (either new or used) from an honest dealer.
As for pricing, they are very competitive and when using sites like galleryofguns, quite often John Brown's Armory has the lowest price and when combined with the service of the knowledgeable staff, I most definitely will always remain a customer and have no desire to go anywhere else.
Located in Rochester, which is about an 30 miles from Pittsburgh, many of my colleagues have not been there simple due to the location, however, I would strongly suggest making the drive as you will find that it was worth the extra time and as long as you leave the wife at home, you will most likely be offered a great deal, leaving with a new firearm.
