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.

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!
