West Coast Armory - Bellevue

We visited for Glock days and overpaid for a new Glock. I didn't mind so much because the event gave my partner a chance to fire one for next to nothing before purchasing, so it helped a bunch for our current situation.

When I returned to pick up the pistol, still more meh service. Not bad, but nothing at all remarkable. Coupled with the high prices, this will not be my top stop in the future. Having said that, they did fill a need that I had and I am glad they were there.

Great location with very knowledgable employees. The range is very clean and modern as well.

The range is clean and well maintained. Good selection of pistols to rent, but only a fair number of rifles.

Pro Shop staff is knowledgeable and helpful in finding a good firearm fit. I found my favorite pistol on their recommendation: Bul Armory Government. I did not know this existed until they introduced it to me.

Basically a knowledgeable, friendly staff with a very good gunsmith. Got my ar15 barrel dimpled, shortened and coated beautifully. Will definitely return.

Just overall a very fine establishment. Clean, well maintained range, service is great and staff/ROs/instructors are very knowledgeable. They raised prices in 2022 though, lanes are now $20 with a $35 a year bronze membership.

They do waiting lists for free, no deposit required.
This is great, I get a call when something comes in, and its held for me 1 day so I can go evaluate in person.
Not all gun stores do this.

Not the cheapest place around, but I make use of their waiting list service.

Good selection of handguns and rifles for rental. Friendly staff. Open on weekends.

In this time of limited supply and high demand, I honestly don't begrudge dealers from pricing for maximum profit - I didn't feel gouged, but the prices I paid were definitely above the MAP found online. But they were able to get the items I wanted, the processes were efficient, and their service was very good, and so I would still wholeheartedly recommend West Coast Armory.

Always enjoy shopping here. I’ve been here multiple times.

My home range and was my primary transfer point for out of state purchases. The prices are a bit high but they can be negotiated if you find a similar listing locally. They will do a bit of price matching.

Inventory is down due to COVID and supply chain problems for raw material.

The reason I mention being treated the same each visit is from experiences at other shops. Whether they remember me or not, some days when I'm on my day off im in some black baggy jeans, black backwards hat and hoodie. The next time I come in straight from work in a fitted 3 piece suit and tie and im treated the same positive way each time I visit Bellevue. They don't assume anything they're just friendly and willing to help however they can. That is why I'll always go back.
Other places i get ignored (suit) or they're up my @$$ worse than my shadow (jeans) lol I'm sure you can imagine how one would get treated differently, maybe.

The current staff is very friendly, and the prices in Bellevue location are not anything to write home about but not astronomically above most others ($30-60$ more than Wades and Discount). Was disappointed at the lack of education given or probing into purchase reasoning (so they could maybe recommend something better suited to the purchasers needs etc not for any negative reasons of course). Unfortunately I have found that upon speaking to all but one stafffer, the hard and fast knowledge of law is lacking- which is something as a first time gun buyer needs when they are making that exciting first buy! As a matter of a fact my first app was not even filled out properly due to lack of explanation by staff. I really really want to love this place, but considering the weight of their roles in effective pistol purchasing- I found them to be lacking.

The range is awesome, been there many times and I have no gripes there!

This is the premier indoor range on the eastside (and now that I think of it, possibly the entire Puget Sound region). Having shot at a variety of indoor ranges from as south as Puyallup and north as Bellingham, this is as nice as it gets.

They also have a pro-shop attached to the range which has an excellent assortment of ammo at competitive prices as well as a wide variety of weapons for sale. I've used their gunsmithing services and they were also excellent.

If you're interested in classes they offer a wide variety of them (by third party vendors). There is also a regular IDPA shoot there -- obviously it's an indoor range, so don't expect the same experience as you would an outdoor one...

Shop here. You won't be disappointed. The inventory is always excellent. The staff understands customer service is important and they provide excellent customer service to the newbie and the expert alike. True professionals who enjoy what they do. It's obvious that ownership understands the importance of taking care of the customer and they hire the best to deliver that experience.

Been a range member since it opened, usually no waiting if you time it right. Decent selection of rental items and most staff are friendly and knowledgable. Usually have a reasonable selection of new firearms and prices are reasonable with room for negotiation at times.
