Every time I go into Hafers I am treated like a friend. That says a lot to me. I hate going into a place, and we have all had this experience, where getting someone to talk to you is like pulling teeth and when they do answer its like you are bothering them, especially your first time there. I can remember my first visit actually where without even trying I was greeted by every staff member! That does not happen in many places at all.
I am a C&R 03 FFL and I cant wait to visit and see what 50 year plus firearms they routinely aquire to provide to customers like me that have small family collections of firearms and gear used in the great and and small struggles around the world. It is a way of providing a living, working set of firearms carried into battle by courageous men and women that changed history. We provide these firearms for the public and service members to fire at range days and they always come away with a respect for the people that carried these into battle!
What sold me is the first time I walked in I was treated like I had been going there for years.
They are very knowledgeable and offer an expert gunsmithing service.
I am a retired LEO (SpcOps, Major Crimes/Fugitive Unit, SERT team, police instructor, gear/firearm evaluator, detective) NRA Instructor and RSO and still shoot and compete as often as I can and I really enjoy going here. Seriously, try them and you will see. I rarely give a glowing report on a place but I really do enjoy going to Hafer s. Its the way things used to be. I am going there again very soon to actually look at finding a rifle for my son, a US Marine Sgt, as a gift for returning from another long deployment and can come home for only a short time.
If they do not have it, Hafers can find or build that firearm that you keep for a lifetime and pass down the family line.
Again, this sounds like an ad instead of a review BUT I would not give a great review if the selection and service were not absolutely top notch. When I retired from my police career, I seriously happened on Hafers pretty much accidentally. I saw their ad along with the big chain stores and such and one day was driving by, passed it, and just HAD to turn around and stop in. The exterior is nice and unassuming but when you walk in WOW! Its not like other places where nearly everything is behind the counter or locked up, as I said before, this place is welcoming and you walk through rows of firearms, ammo and gear. Yes, there are more behind the counter BUT you are always envited to step back there to look at MORE rows of rifles and shotguns arranged for easy viewing and taking them down to check them out. The display cases are FULL of new and preowned handguns just waiting for you. It is a real sportsmans and shooters place.
I am now looking for a another small ccw pistol AND some older C&R rifles which they always have a great variety of as well as the amazing modern stuff. As I said about ammo prices there also are about the best around, not only for a full service shop but I find ammo cheaper than W.....t! Its nice to have a small collection but you need to feed them too!
Anyway, stop in or give them a call!
