This is my second time purchasing from the store. Went in there today with items that needed to be traded in for an upgrade that I was looking for. Ryan couldn’t have been more helpful and more pleasant to deal with. He answered every single question that I had and helped demonstrate everything that needed to be illustrated. Great store - Great customer service!

This establishment exudes an intolerable atmosphere of prejudice towards Jewish individuals. Their treatment towards me was utterly appalling, indicative of their overall unpleasant demeanor. Their incompetence was glaring as they berated me for my lack of familiarity with firearms when I sought information on obtaining a pistol license. Their behavior was nothing short of disgraceful, and I strongly advise against patronizing this establishment. I wholeheartedly echo the sentiments expressed by a fellow reviewer, Shalom Sharara. Despite their discouragement, I successfully obtained my Pistol License within a mere two months, disproving the erroneous claims of individuals like the owner Mike, who erroneously asserted it would take over a year. Their misplaced hostility now serves as a source of amusement rather than frustration.UPDATE - IN RESPONSE TO THE OWNERS REPLY:It's fascinating how people can project such warmth and kindness from behind a screen. However, I stand by my comment regarding the humiliating treatment I received in front of your other customers. I'm genuinely taken aback by the evident self-importance displayed by each and every one of you. Instead of retaliating in front of others, I chose to remove myself from the situation. My naturally reserved nature aside, I assure you, I was neither rude nor disrespectful towards you or your team.I regret to say that I can't in good conscience recommend anyone to patronize your store. Should they decide to visit, they'll unfortunately witness firsthand the unpleasant attitudes that seem to prevail. It's worth noting that your business may suffer if this behavior continues. Personally, I've found a much more welcoming firearm shop and have been consistently referring customers there.Additionally, you might want to reconsider the tone and language used to ensure it reflects the level of professionalism you wish to maintain.UPDATE #2:For the hell of it, I went back to LI Outdoorsman to see how they would behave towards me. Let me tell you, It was worse the second time around. You guys are finished.Any person commenting about "How friendly the staff is" is obviously on drugs and needs to have their gun privileges removed ASAP

I am only going to comment on the fishing side because I am not into hunting. (Off the record,I believe you should have the right to hunt leagally, but it's just not something I am into.)They have almost everything you would need for fishing on Long Island. From fluke on a boat to snappers on the pier...they have it.People in the store are nice and knowledgeable about local waters and conditions. Bait is good.Parking can be hard to find later in the day. You have to feed the meter.Good luck out there. Catch a whopper!UPDATEOCTOBER 24, 2023...NO changes still very good.These guys know what they are talking about.UPDATE - JANUARY 5, 2024I am updating my review from 4 to 5 stars.The guy in there...who I never saw before...just processed and laminated my new 2024 NY State salt water lisencese.He did so professionally and we both enjoyed some solid and well-needed banter.Keep up the great work and thank you for handling our state lisencese needs.UPDATE - MAY 21, 2024NO changes. The folks here know what they are talking about.

I went there a month or so ago to assist a friend buy his first fire arm. I returned a month later for a Mosberg 590. Great knowledgeable staff. Looking to purchase a APX A1 and a Taurus next. I’ll be returning and making my purchases there

Great staff, supplies and thoughtful recommendations on any question. Always enjoy listening to their experiences and any feedback. The store itself is always well-equipped, providing a wide range of options in stock, but the knowledgeable and friendly staff is what makes it. The team provides positive experiences to their customers, making trips to their store fun and productive.

This is a solid company. As a first time buyer of a handgun, Marc was very patient with me and worked me through choosing the firearm that fit me best. He had no agenda other than making sure I felt comfortable with my purchase. The sales team there were all well-manored and nthwy clearly cared about the customers. Thank you.

Bad Business Ethics. Very sad because I live around the corner and I will never step foot in LIO again. Ripped me off during Sandy selling me a used gun. I asked where the box and owners manual was when purchasing and was told “this model doesn’t come with one”. Upon bringing the gun back the next day they told me I should have known better. Not sure how they are still in business. Go to DSI in Islip or South Shore Sportsman in Merrick.Response: Oh you were made aware after I walked back into the store with a friend who knows about firearms and Rob directly told me I should have asked better questions and refused to take the used Winchester junk back. Great business decision from ownership though my 14 firearms later. Unless ownership’s changed the review stands and your response is not valid.

Terrible experience. The old man working there was VERY unprofessional and rude. Their selection was not impressive either. if you drive another 5 minutes down sunrise highway, you can get a great customer service and deals at south shore sportsman.
