A Cut Above Pawn

I have used A Cut Above Pawn to handle the FFL paperwork for a private party purchase of a used handgun from a friend. The staff made the transfer easy.

great place to get a transfer done. will be going back.

Have had numerous transfers done here. Price very reasonable and staff are happy for your business. Its nice to have a local resource

This is my first impression of A CUT ABOVE PAWN.

Yesterday, I stopped by after work just to check it out since I live in the area. I had no intention of getting anything but if I saw something I liked it would be a bonus. I was politely greeted and asked if I needed any help. I said it was my first time in the shop and wanted to look around. They had a good selection of guns and I had an interest in their shotguns. Most had good to reasonable prices. I could see almost every item was in good condition. No flea market junk here, at least not any I could see.

I was asked again if I wanted to look at anything in particular and I asked some basic questions about the shotguns. The employee (James - I think) came over and I said I was looking for a 20 gauge shotgun since I accidentally bought some 20 gauge shells. I figured I should just get a 20 gauge shotgun. Problem solved. He agreed.

He handed me the only 20 gauge they had to look over despite me initially refusing since my hands were hot and sweaty from work. As I looked over the shotgun he immediately offered to reduce the price if I was interested in buying it. I was hesitant at first because I really didn't plan to buy anything that day. We discussed whether I should get it or wait another day.

He did what I consider is reasonable. He tried to sell me the shotgun but it wasn't pressure sales at all. I got the impression he understood and respected my reasons and didn't pressure me at all. That was very cool. How often does that happen these days?

We negotiated a little more and I ended up buying the shotgun. I'm just waiting for my background check to clear before I go pick it up. Overall, I was pleased to shop there because I was treated with courtesy and respect. I was also given a great deal on a shotgun!

I can't speak for everyone but they earned my business that day. There are other items on my shopping list so I intend to return. Would I recommend this shop? Yes. Do I feel they are honest, fair, and helpful? Yes.

They seem like pretty decent people working there so if you have an unpleasant experience, go back another day and give them a chance to give you a better experience. We all have bad days. I know I have. I've also been treated terribly at other stores at one time or another so I realize it happens. I won't pretend it doesn't. I have a feeling this store is a place I'll do my shopping again because I tend to return to places that treat me right. They treated me right.

I have had a range of over 20 FFL transactions with this business. With the majority of businesses, the service, and attitude you receive can be somewhat random depends on who was there. I found this team to be very consistent in customer focus attitude, knowledge, and efficiency. The fact that they are very conscious of every customer in the shop even when they are busy tells a lot. Lots of business just ignore you if you are the last one in the line until you get to the desk.

Convenient location when traveling west on TV highway, good hours and decent transfer cost. May seek another dealer to save money on multiple transfers.
