First Stop Gun & Coin

A very comprehensive inventory of firearms, and ammo. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. And if you like mounts, then this shop is a must see. An awesome collection of mounts, both North American wildlife and African.

Good gun store. Solid selection of new and used pistols and rifles.
Their used prices are good. They have a nice selection of reloading supplies and ammunition. Good service, helpful employees. Also be sure to ask or check their website or call them as they have more inventory than what is displayed from what I understand.

Helpful and friendly staff. Good selection of guns and ammo at decent prices. My go to place when I'm looking to buy a new gun.

I bought my rifle online from the store and I received excellent service. Shipping was quick and packaged to protect the item. The rifle was exactly as described and I am totally satisfied. I would recommend them for internet purchases and I would do business with them anytime. Thanks

Great shop ordered ammo on Tuesday got it on Thursday will definitely order again very happy

Had a really nice experience. Mark is a good man, service was quick and professional.

I enjoy stopping in and seeing what all they have from time to time. They have a very nice selection, all sorts of products whether you need pistols, hunting rifles, shotguns, sporting rifles, etc. Had a good time buying from them - haven't had any issues with service as other reviews have mentioned. Everyone who I've ever talked to here has been friendly. Prices seem fair. Looking forward to stopping in again sometime soon.

We visited the store and found a nice selection of firearms. Very helpful people in the store. They stock a lot of guns, ammo, accessories, knives, clothes, etc... This store is well worth the stop if you’re interested or need to restock any of your supplies.

Bought a firearm online through GunsAmerica from them an Uberti 1873 Cattleman 357 Mag 7 1/2 COULDN'T BE HAPPIER =) there customer service is spot on and they where very helpfull, which was great since i have not done a online purchases before they even told me how to find a FFL near me. Thankyou First Stop Guns from CA. =)

Got exactly what they said was in the posted add. Was looking for the particular item as I had to sell it when I was in college. Best price found online, and was delivered in better than expected condition.

Great place to check out, a lot of cool stuff to look at. A man’s paradise.

Absolutely Fantastic customer service. After leaving a 3 star rating a while back, I talked to Marc on the phone about it and everything is great now. I regretted leaving the not so good review when I did and it was eating at me. Marc is great and things happen especially when you have a very busy store to run and employees to supervise. Things can happen and mixups do occur. My frustrations and taking them out on FSG was uncalled for. Marc, will go above and beyond to help and his integrity is genuine. I never lost my faith in dealing with Marc. Sometimes you vent and say things that you can not take back. At least I can make it right by editing my review. FSG is very highly recommended !!!! Nuff said. Not really, but I at least feel a lot better and am going to purchase another gun very shortly from him and will continue to support First Stop Guns. A big thumbs up.

Got to speak with the owner. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. The store had a great selection and staff.

Frequently stop in here over lunch to browse or buy ammo.

Amazingly friendly and chatty team.

Used gun selection features great and unique stuff at very, very tempting prices. Can find anything from “grandpa’s old 12 gauge” to “muskets.” I jumped on a krag, because I love finicky stuff.

Whenever I bring friends, they’re also treated with patience and a warm welcome.

Best 9mm prices I have seen in years. Pretty much every calibre here except 30-40 krag and 577-450 Martini-Henry, but perfection belongs to God alone.

First Stop is a great firearm shop. Mike and Mark are great, all the guys there are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They don't pressure you into purchase. Very fair trade in prices and the prices on the inventory are always fair to fantastic. Love these guys!

I recently encountered an unfortunate situation at First Stop Gun. Their was no one really at fault when a forearm for my shotgun was misplaced while it was at the store. First Stop tried to find a replacement for the collector shotgun. After a month, and no luck finding a forearm, Mark, the owner, paid me top dollar for the shotgun as compared to GunBroker pricing. I really appreciate the staff's professional assistance during the situation and the owner's cooperative and reasonable interactions while this potentially stressful situation played out. thank you guys!

I just purchased a used gun and it was exactly as it was described. Shipping was fast, service was great and the price was reasonable. I will not hesitate to do business with First Stop Gun again. I'll also tell my friends about them. Thanks.

Bought a 1899 Springfield Krag Carbine from these guys. Mark and his staff were helpful and soothed my nerves about the authenticity of the rifle. I live in Texas so the staff carefully packed the rifle and sent it my FFL. Rifle is excellent and in better than described shape! I will be doing business with First Stop as often as I can!!

Great prices, wide selection, and good staff.
I have a older shotgun for duck and pheasant that's never going to see steel shot.
They actually had bismuth shot $2 cheaper then online.

I’ve been searching for a Winchester ‘Classic’ for some time; non-stop research. First Stop Guns in Rapid City, South Dakota has a long lineage of firearms history. Mark Blote, the proprietor is very knowledgeable as to the entire line of firearms, including the Henry rifles. Not knowing of these facts, I certainly became most familiar with Mark’s expertise in a short amount of time. Mark provided the utmost assistance in providing me a Winchester ‘Classic’ at a most reasonable price (New in the box with hang tags, and associated paperwork). The age of the bolt rifle was a 1994 model (unfired); “Almost unheard of”. There are many who purport to state the condition of a firearm as to be ‘new’ or ‘unfired’ but are merely trying use the terminology to entrap others. In this respect, I was somewhat hesitant to place an order for a firearm in the aforesaid condition, which is almost non-existent. I decided to take a shot (No pun intended) and ordered through First Stop Guns. The initial conversation with Mark was very professional, as we discussed the Winchester. There were no hidden facets as he specified everything clearly.

At the outset, I believed Mark based upon his character, for character defines a person. Upon receiving the firearm (Bolt Action Rifle), I was totally taken as to the condition upon opening the box. Inspected the bore, the bolt, checked the three position safety, the wood (Straight grained walnut), checked the weight and length, breech and muzzle. In reality, I was trying to find a fault which I could not. Absolute pristine, like it was just purchased. Surely, this has to be a find which rarely comes along in one’s lifetime.

This business consists of people knowledgeable with the underpinnings of firearms which is not for the faint. All emails and phone messages were answered in a very timely fashion, and Mark was very efficient in assisting me. There certainly are not many, if any who deal in iron that shall bring this type of management to the forefront. Again, this business consists of people who are not the mainstream white collar clientele, but they provide their services to such. To meet someone with Mark’s stature is surely refreshing, knowing the business as I. We would highly recommend First Stop Guns to everyone searching for a fine, quality firearm or collectible, along with the entire gamut of firearms. I’m truly glad that I found a person that understands the true qualities of fine firearms. Thank you very much Mark and we hope the best for First Stop Guns, now and in the future.
