Northwest Armory - Milwaukie

I have been here multiple times. Overall experiences have been good. Online transactions are very easy order online and pick up in store. At time the can get pretty busy and if you are looking for some talking time or more assistance I would recommend getting in early! The selection is always good and there is plenty of ammo at a decent price all considering.

I have purchased several guns at their Milwaukie location. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. There's a great selection of new and used guns, and they have ammo to put in them!

Placed an online order for firearm pick up and it was fulfilled in about an hour. I was greeted nicely upon arrival and was able to get paperwork started quickly. Due to state check backed up- I had to return next day, but I appreciate the gentleman calling me before store opening to advise all was good.

I would suggestion if able to put the information that is emailed about the background checks/process- to put that in a FAQ section

This review is for Tigard store. Good service, very busy for 2 people at counter but they handled it pretty good.

bought an NFA item they helped me with all the paper work and fees. great place to go

I've been to both locations and dealt with them online and always been pleased. Selection is as good or better than anyone and prices are always competitive. Been to Tigard store most in recent years and always gotten great, knowlegable, friendly service. They have been gracious about transfers from the other store to save me a trip on more than one occasion. I would definitely recommend to friends. If you haven't been there yet give them a try.

I've not always been pleased with the customer service at this store, but the perfect service I received today will cause me to eat those words. I purchased a rifle, on-line, at a price far less than I expected. I was greeted immediately by multiple employees, and my entire experience was less than ten minutes, culminating with me leaving the store with a new rifle.

This is my local gun store. Good people. Good inventory. Good service.

Ordered online in the morning and picked up that afternoon. Rudy was very friendly and helpful and made it well worth the 2-hour round trip. The price I paid was considerably less than many competitors. Highly recommend this shop.

Disclaimer: This review is written during the pandemic, so I can only comment on the shop with the covid protocol in place. You wait outside and are called in one-by-one, and have to stand in designated areas. If you want to see something, they bring it to you. You do get "personalized attention" because it's one staff per customer.

A big pro to this shop is that you can see their inventory online and buy things online, swinging by to pick it up. I wish other dealers in the area would get digital with their inventory. It's really not hard - I mean, after all, no one is keeping inventory via pen and paper in 2021 I hope, so it's just plugging it into a web site. I think a lot of shops would see an increase in sales if customers could browse online.

NW Armory's gun prices are reasonable...but since you can see what's in stock and what the prices are, you can decide for yourself before visiting! Ammo depends. Got some .223 that was $15/box...Keith's was $14/box. Other places just don't have it. I passed on 9mm because it was a lot more than other places.

Been to this shop twice. First time the guy was professional but very quiet and hardly spoke two sentences. Second time, the staff member was very friendly and gave me some advice that was very good. I realize when there's a line of people outside, they can't small talk.

Very efficient operation and I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

Lots of knowledgeable staff with an always changing lineup of toys, both new and used. I have made many purchases here. Always fun to see what they have in stock.

Have had several great experiences at NWA. Would recommend. as you stated they treat you good, they are busy but when slow. Awesome service. Had some issues with one of my purchases and they made it right.

It's nice to go into a gun shop that has a collection of historical firearms on display.
If you want a Sig Sauer, I recommend you look at their display of pistols for sale as I have not found a better selection anywhere.
This is the store I bought my first firearm at, and their customer service was great and accommodated my fondling eyes.
They once even accommodated me when I accidentally stumbled in after close, you won't find that other places.
Visit their website and see what they have to offer!

I've bought 3 guns from them so far, and most likely will buy more in the future... their customer service really is phenomenal, and in me experience their prices are pretty spot on for new guns, and really good for used guns. I bought a new Ruger Mark III, and of course, the first time I took it apart, got it back together wrong. After a few hours of banging my head against the wall trying to get it back together, I sheepishly brought it back to NWA to see if they could fix it, and hopefully not charge too much for it (I was willing to pay for a repair since as far as I could tell it was my mistake, not a defect)... Waited a few mins for the resident "ruger pistol expert" to finish with another customer, then a couple of solid hits, some minor grumbling, and prying later, he got it apart and showed me what I'd done wrong..... And how to hold the Mark III in exactly the right position, aligned with the correct planet, and how to hold your tongue and cross your toes just right to get it back together correctly...

One of my favorite shops to stop into.

I just wanted to take the time to complement NWA. I was out there yesterday and the place was packed. However, there were lots of friendly sales people there and I never had to wait for service when I had a question or wanted to look at an item. They were not pushy or arrogant, just polite and helpful.

The last few times I've been in there, I've noticed the prices are much more competitive than in the past. Prices on both new and used guns, ammo and accessories were as good or better than any shop in the city of Portland.

With great prices and great service, I would rate my experience yesterday 5 stars out of 5! I couldn't ask for anything more.

Great Job NWA!

Thank you.

I bought a KelTec PF9 there and some 9mm ammo and shotgun ammo and I was happy with the price on all of it. Whenever I come in, and just want to take a look at the guns I am dreaming about, I get the same level of assistance then as when I was purchasing. I may not buy my next new gun there (depends on if it is in stock and how bad I need it), but it will be the first place I look.

I've shopped here a few times and purchased from them at gun shows. The employees I've dealt with have always been pretty helpful and down to earth. I've been in on really busy days but Karl seemed to go out of his way to get me some help, even though he admitted I might have to wait because he didn't know enough about the parts I was asking about. I'll definitely shop here again. If I had to give any criticism about the shop it would be in organization. I don't know if it's because things are constantly being loaded out for gun shows or something but the place often seems cluttered to me (especially the spaces behind the counters). If I could easily find want I want to look at, I wouldn't need the attention you could be spending on other customers on those busy days. Thanks!

They have always been very respectful and helpful when, I needed help. I buy all my ammo and accessories from them.....

I've shopped for ammo (9mm at ~$10/50 and some .32ACP) and accessories (targets, ear/eye protection, cleaning kits) at NW Armory in Milwaukie 5 times now and everytime has been a great experience. I plan to trade a pistol of mine and also purchase a Springfield XD9 Service (Essentials package) for $399 (on sale) in the next month or two. I'm positive I'll have the professional help I request with NW Armory employees - that's how it's always been.

The quality staff and presentable store make for a great experience - I recommend NW Armory to all my shooting friends.
