Very large selection, staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They'll do everything possible to help you make an informed decision. One warning, if you even think about shoplifting, don't. They have lots of high quality cameras, so you will get caught and prosecuted.

The staff at this store racially discriminated against a patron this evening. I took my boyfriend here to purchase a firearm after an acquaintance recently purchased one from here and recommended it to him. He is a Latin American US citizen with family in the US military. We waited to be served at the gun counter as there were multiple other customers there as well. When my boyfriend had a brief conversation in Spanish, we both noticed one of the employees start to look at him suspiciously. Another employee came over to assist us and I pointed out the gun my boyfriend was interested in. The attendant began to reach into the case to take the gun out but the other employee that had earlier seemed bothered by my boyfriend speaking Spanish, or even just there in general, came over and interrupted loudly and rudely. He said that he was going to stop him from handling/selling any guns because he could smell marijuana. I told him that I work at a medical cannabis dispensary and that I tend to have some odor on me from work. Neither one of us was high, drunk or under the influence and both of us behaved in a sober and polite public manner. He argued with us by saying that he was not able to differentiate who smelled of marijuana, so he was not going to sell to my boyfriend. He spoke in a disrespectful and dismissive tone. Keep in mind there were several other patrons nearby, a few that looked visibly high. The other employee who had begun to take the gun out initially had not seemed to take issue with us, and I’m assuming he has the same training, so it was clearly a personal discrimination from the employee that seemed bothered by my boyfriend speaking Spanish. We felt unwelcome and uncomfortable by the sudden, unexpected confrontation and decided to leave. We spoke to an employee in training on the way out and he seemed confused but was polite to us. A manager approached and introduced himself and when we explained what happened and that my boyfriend was discriminated against, he said that they don’t do that there and and proceeded to explain the federal law that prohibits firearms sale to those under the influence. As neither of us were, nor acting in anyway in an intoxicated manner, and I had explained the odor as coming from my job as a licensed medical cannabis provider, there should have been no issue. The manager was unwilling to acknowledge the discriminatory and unprofessional way in which his employee behaved towards my boyfriend and only continued to say that they don’t do that there and completely dismissed my boyfriend’s actual experience of racial discrimination that I as well witnessed. I will also add that the acquaintance who recently purchased a firearm from this store is a white man who is a heavy cannabis user and who smoked directly before coming into the store where he was sold a gun with no issue. This store and it’s management needs to be aware that their behavior and demeanor is racist and needs to be held accountable. The community should be aware of how their Latin neighbors are being treated.

I recently visited Maine Military Supply in Holden, ME and had an impressive experience at their indoor shooting range. The range is well-equipped and provides a controlled environment for shooting practice. The staff members were helpful and knowledgeable, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience. I highly recommend Maine Military Supply's indoor shooting range for anyone looking to improve their shooting skills or enjoy a day of shooting in a controlled setting.

My wife and I are vacationing in Maine and we decided to take shooting lessons, we’d never shot a gun before and we wanted to learn since you never know. A class was $75 per person + ammo ($12 for a pack). The training was done by Richard – special thanks to him, he is very experienced and extremely knowledgeable. He took us through the process step by step, starting with parts of a gun, then properly holding it, and finishing with actual practice. Afterwards, he discussed how we did at the range and gave us his feedback. If you’d like to learn how to shoot, I highly recommend his services. In addition, the store itself also has many interesting items, not only shooting or hunting-related, but also leather goods, camping gear, and t-shirts. I would give this location 6/5 if I could, very happy with my overall experience.

Great shop for adults and children alike. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff, and clean building. My army obsessed nephew had a blast and found some goodies, and my daughter left with a toy sloth and was just as happy haha

Saw a very weird and infamously unreliable (mentioning because issues I mention later in the review are not Maine Military's fault) gun there, a Calico M-110, and decided I needed to have it. Their layaway arrangement is very simple, 20% down and 90 days to pay the remainder, no structured payments or anything. Justin and Dyana were very helpful in the process as well as another gentleman who's name escapes me. Chris went above and beyond when during the 1 hour included range time I encountered issues I knew would occur with this gun, and he helped show me how to rectify them in the moment and how I could likely improve the reliability after purchase with some small modification.Their range was well managed safety is taken very seriously, and as a customer my experience from walking in to walking out was largely apolitical which is a challenge for some businesses in the gun industry and I appreciated it, and would give them a 6th Star for that if I could.100% I'll be back for my next firearm purchase, especially if they get some Calico 9mm carbines
