Been here three times. They remind me of the three bears. First time they were good. Second time mediocre. Third time terrible. Or to quote ol' bubba Forrest, they are like a box of chocolates -- walk in the door and you never know what kind of service you're going to get. There seems to be a pattern of aberrations as evidenced by these reviews that are all over the place. Bottom line is I avoid them now.
Not the best service since it's a Pawn Shop, but good enough for the price
I've used Tigard Pawn for More many times for FFL transfers. They are always inexpensive and depending on when you go it can either be a very long afternoon or a quick in and out. I'll continue to use for them the pricing and location
I went there to perform a transfer on a gun I had traded for (motorcycle for gun). When we went to the counter and explained what we were there for, in a very demeaning and demanding tone the lady asked the seller where her color copy of his ID was. I explained that he'd never been there before and I was going to pay her to do it. Then she looked at me and said it will be $35 cash only and asked where my trigger lock was. When I asked her why I needed one she stated, "Because it's State law!" Then she proceeded to take sellers ID to the back to copy, complaining that she doesn't like to have to use up all of HER stuff and we should have come prepared. I then turned and saw the little sign that said "color copy of ID, $3."
I've done several transfers there and have never had an issue. When I went in today 1/6/24 the tall fella behind the counter was courteous and once retrieved the gun, allowed me to inspect before signing the 4473. It's because of him that I didn't rate the service as terrible
1. While they may have a store policy about trigger locks, it's not posted and the guy I picked the gun up from didn't make a peep about it. She lied when she told me it was State law.
2. I would never treat a customer the way she did and I will not ever subject myself, or anyone else to her ridicule.
I live in Clackamas but will always drive across town to use for my FFL transfers. Very quick service in the evenings and patient employees. As long as you remember to bring cash as they are cash only you will be in and out asap
Tried to sell a handgun there. First thing the guy did was take my gun and point it right at me without checking it first. They don't even know the most basic firearms safety. Don't go there.
Apparently doesn't want people to conduct PPTs in their store?
An older blonde lady working the counter was extremely rude and sarcastic when I presented two handguns for sale. They were both in very good condition and had been occupying space in my safe. She asked what I want for them and I told her I didn't really know because I didn't know what fair market value was (figuring they would have a better pulse on the used gun market than me). She sarcastically says "Ok, $200 for both pistols". When I decline that offer, because it was clearly offered out of spite, and say that is way to low and say something in the ballpark of $300 each is what I figured she said that is what she'll wind up selling them for and then haphazardly tossed one of the guns back into its case, showing absolutely zero respect for my property, and then told me she wasn't interested. Another customer nearby inquired about what I wanted for one of them and when I said about $300 sounded fair the blonde lady rudely told me to "stop facilitating sales in her store". When I asked even if we'd pay for them to do the background check she cut me off and said I can't make sales inside her store and said I need to leave. On my way out the door she commented that it was my job to research market value before taking it to their store. An older review on this thread mentions a rude blonde lady so I'm assuming it's the same person. Just a bitter old person who should stay off the sales floor.
There was another employee present who seemed nice enough but this lady was definitely in some sort of mood. I've stopped in this shop a few times over the last 10 years and even bought two rifles from them - now I will never step foot in this establishment again.
I went in for a transfer and it was quick, easy, and friendly. I checked out a rifle they had on the rack while I was there and came back a couple weeks later to buy it. Quick, easy, and friendly again! This is a great shop!
I recommend this place for FFL transfers. They processed a handful of transfers for me when the wait list was at 13k. Released after 3-5 days due to my CHL.
came in during covid they had a system of 1 customer or group at a time which was understandable and the younger gentleman help us out selecting a hunting rifle for us. we settled with a savage 25.06 with scope and case and for the price it was amazing and out the door in less than an hour for our BGC. it has been awhile since i been there so rely on the more recent reviews. biggest news is that their unbeatable firearm transfer price shot up 10 dollars from 25 to 35. which is still nothing to sneeze at since more FFL charge 50-65 dollars so take it with a grain of salt.
I used them when we were having massive delays from earlier this year and last. I usually get delayed for a period of time. They would release the transfer after 3 to 5 days. They came through for me on several occasions.
