Stopped in here yesterday. Solid pricing and customer service was outstanding. 10/10 will be going back and would highly recommend.

Professional and helpful staff. Great place to shop for firearms.

I recently made a purchase and they were great to work with...extremely helpful and accommodating. Excellent price, too.

Literally the worst customer service I think I’ve ever had. The guy was rude and extremely bothered that he had to stop leaning on the counter and help a customer. The old guy (I’m assuming the owner) was just as rude and pretentious. Wouldn’t spend a dime with these guys and you shouldn’t either. Prices are marked up 40-50% past market price anyway. Not sure how they keep the lights on treating people like that.

Owner is an amazing man. Fostered over 30 children. And treats you like his very own son.I will only ever do business here.

Decent selection. Below average customer service, however you may do better if you are a good ole boy?

Very rude. Think theyre above you. Arrogant.

This place is fantastic. Staff was so nice and helpful, prices very reasonable despite the nationwide shortages. Much happier to spend money here rather than going to a big box store.

These guys have been super friendly and helpful. The two old fellas behind the counter are always nice. I had purchased a pistol for my wife and she did not like it, I asked if they would let me exchange with a store credit. I was expecting to take a hit or just be told no, but these guys gave me full price! In return I purchased a more expensive pistol and will return here for all my fire arms needs. Once again thank you very much Vandalia tactical!!

Not sure about the other reviews but I got treated with the up most respect and customer service. Definitely will come again!

Just recently discovered this hidden gem . A Great place, run by professionals that know their firearms and how to treat people right . I have already been there twice this week ( 45 minutes away but worth the drive ) for hard to find ammo and a nice model 629-2 . Thanks again guys !

The shop is well kept and well stocked and the staff is professional and highly qualified. I loved talking to the two Vets behind the counter. I will definitely be back.

Outstanding service and great prices.....

Owned and operated by gun experts. The are very knowledgeable and friendly. They have the ammo I need at fair prices.

Very helpful staff answered all my questions and 10mm at pre pandemic prices...def going back!

The staff is rude, especially the old guy. They are selling Wolf 223 steel case ammo for over $15 a box of 20. This is price gouging since the cheap Russian steel stuff normally sells for about $5 a box.

Very friendly staff, no pressure sales. Allowed me to browse and answered any questions I had. I finally inquired about a specific firearm which they didnt have in stock. The manager was happy to order it for me. No problem being a repeat customer.

Great place to buy firearms friendly staff great prices

My wife and I visited the store on the 6/7/2020. We walked around for about 5 minutes. No hello, or may I help you. I guess they dont like black people in their place of business. As we proceeded to leave, one of the workers said, Have a nice day

Had the ammo I needed in stock when nobody else did

This place sucks. I walked in and asked for a specific pistol which I 100% intended on buying and figured they would be decently happy with a $700 sale. Instead they told me they didnt have one nor would they ever get one because they suck.I went to VRA instead and they got the sale. I will never come here again.

Was looking for a particular shotgun,called OEO first,they didnt have one in stock but could order it. I called Vandalia Tactical,they had them in stock,and the were $70-$80 cheaper than the quote I received from OEO. I asked them about trades,they said they would look it over,and quote me a price. Very friendly staff,very knowledgeable,answered all my questions. Ended up trading in a pistol for the shotgun I wanted,and they even installed the accessories I wanted with the shotgun at no extra charge. Great people,wouldnt hesitate to buy more firearms here.

Went to vandalia tactical to purchase a springfield xdm 10mm the sales person was great answered all my questions no problems at all great place to shop for all your firearms needs i will be visiting again real soon thank you vandalia tactical

Really a nice gun shop. Big selection great prices and friendly staff. Has that old school feel but with a great selection of the latest and greatest. I highly recommend 👍

Vandelia tactical is the best place for all of your shooting needs whether buying new or used guns and even if you are just doing a transfer the guys are very friendly and professional.

I have repeatedly asked a question about a product via email and never got a response. I posed the same question to Vance Outdoors and got a phone call within 15 minutes of my email. Guess who I did business with?

Outstanding service. Knowledgeable on every type of FA. Thank you sirs.

Vandalia Tactical is a great gun shop. Very friendly staff, helpful for all your questions--and they dont talk down to newbies (I was once). They listen to you and then make suggestions...and offer their advice without being forceful. If you are a first time buyer, or just never been in the shop before, you should check them out. Competitive prices and large stock on hand too.

Great shop!

I dont know why there are so many negative comments on this place, the selection was great, the place was tidy and well organized, and contrary to whatever anyone else says they experienced, these guys were all friendly and helpful. I read that theyre good old boys and you have to be a local to be treated nicely there, that is simply not the case, Im not from here, dont live here (just visiting relatives for thanksgiving), and have never met those gentlemen before, I asked a question and they politely answered, they showed me the rifle I was looking for, and never once hesitated to let me handle it, the price was right also. After entering and saying hello, I said I was just browsing, they still didnt give me any resistance to let me handle whatever I asked about. Normally when youre not a state resident youre told you cant purchase, but in Ohio active duty military are apparently afforded the courtesy of still buying long rifles (and no, Im not stationed here on orders), these guys jumped through hoops to get the information in the system, and I actually got approved quicker than normal. I think the negative comments come from people who came in and didnt show common respect, I see no other reason, because these guys were great, and I will likely buy from them again whenever Im up here again.

Great little gun shop if youre a local cop or a retired local cop. Otherwise, good luck getting any service. And dont forget to bring a lot of money, because this place is expensive.

Unlike other places that actually employ professionals, these guys are just a bunch of old retired fogeys that know little about what theyre supposed to be selling. Also, their customer service skills are lacking. On top of that, they have ONE person whos allowed to open and log shipments! So if you buy a gun online and have it shipped there, better hope hes not out of town!

I’ve been given wrong bullets while buying a new gun. And I’ve been sent home with the wrong bullets and a coupe mounts on another occasion. Took a lot of my time, gas, $. Was offered nothing in return for it either time. Second time he actually tried to offer me 3 packs of ammo for the wrong one he gave me... I was like sir, what ur giving me for an exchange is 8$ cheaper then I paid for what you Gave me wrong... beside with who I believe is the owner which was a ton of help, Ive got little help. By little I mean they do as little as possible. Vague, tell me only what I ask instead of informing me: I tell them in new to guns and know nothing besides online reading.. besides that I like they place.

The sales staff arent always the most outgoing and there always seems to be at lest one regular customer in there shootin the breeze like it is a coffee shop. So sometimes you have to get their attention but once they know you want help or are interested in something they are very helpful and will take their time with you. I have never seen them be rude to any customers unlike a gun store north of them. Their prices are pretty much on par with the rest of the stores in the area.

Ive been here many times they tend to be a bit more expensive then some of the other shops in the area. I have had both good and bad experiences at the shop. It just depends on which employee you run into. The gentleman that was most helpful was extremely informed and knowledgeable.

Very nice

Went there once when I was first looking for a rifle. The staff was very rude because, I wasnt ready to buy. I explained to the worker, that I was just in the beginning stages, and had to save up some more money. The guy wouldnt get the gun down for me to look at, but after persuading him for about 15 minutes, he finally let me see it, but then very quickly asked for it back. I will not go there again. They do however, have a nice selection of accessories.

The staff is absolutely deplorable. Like one reviewer said before, if youre not a cop, they could care less. My favorite part of the visit was when my wife asked to see a firearm and was denied because I wasnt with her, little did they know I was at the next case over. But the absolute best thing is when you prove them wrong and they get super pissed. I hope the place burns. I will never spend another penny at that establishment.

Very nice staff! Good prices and nice selection.

These guys are great have always been helpful.And prices are honestly right up to par with where they should be.Keep up the good work guys!

I was there today looking at multiple guns and asking many questions about each one and Scott the salesman had no problem showing me what ever I wanted to see and answer any questions I had about each one, Great attitude thank you. B. Ashmore

Went in excited to buy an AR and when asking if they had one online in the store or similar for decent amount they scoffed and said no. Went and bought one at another store. Place is a joke over priced business and workers there dont know what theyre selling.

Knowledgeable staff and good products. Purchased 3 weapons from them so far.

Very quick to help ensure my firearm would pass inspection at an upcoming competition. Great service!

Pros1. They have guns2. Their guns are, in fact, for saleCons1. Shoes and shirt and still no service2. Prices that will put them out of business3. 0 tolerance for the average customer4. Cliquey, high school mentality among the “good ‘ol boys” working there5. General disrespect for female customers shopping solo6. 🤷🏼‍♂️

The staff is all retired cops and they can be real rude and very condescending, espically if they are busy. It wasnt always this bad but once they got bigger they went down hill. If your trying to sell a gun dont go there, I made a extra two hundred dollars by going up the street.

I have been stopping in here for about 6 years. I dont do it to buy but just for a good laugh. They have always been one of the most over priced gun shops in the Dayton area. One time they had a Galil clone at a half decent price, used. I wanted to give it a good look over before buying it and one of the old guys behind the counter made a snide comment about having to touch things in the shop. Well of course Im going to give a really good look over of a USED firearm. Trust me your money spends better else where.

Large inventory, great staff. Love this place

My mom was in town and we went here to buy ammo. The guy behind the counter, on seeing a 5 ft woman come walking in a fur coat and heels, rolled his eyes and asked sarcastically Can I -help- you? Aa if we were lost. He then, as if we were a great burden on him, got the ammo we asked for. Unfortunately for him she was a retired 28 year Dayton officer.What an ass! Since then the handful of times Ive been there the prices havent been good and the service has either been cold or completely unattentive unless they were talking to a range buddy of theirs. Not going again. Plenty of competition with better prices, service, AND selection.

This is a excellent gun shop, good prices and knowledgeable staff

Definitely not my first choice in the Dayton area. The staff is condescending towards customers and everything is WAY overpriced. Not to mention, they have no website.

By far the worst customer service in the area, very rude very ignorant in store as well as on the phone

Great place bought my first peace and loved it ever since.

I called ahead looking for a specific model Glock. They said they had it in stock. I told them I had a 40 minute drive one way to get there and double checked their hours. They said no problem, come on down. I load the family in the truck and head down. I walk in and mention the call, they pull the firearm in question out for me to look at. I agree to purchase the gun and the guy behind the counter tells me ill have to come back the next day. He told me the NICS system had been down all day and that they could not complete the transaction. They knowingly let me drive 40 minutes one way for a transaction that they could not complete. To be fair, this was in 2015 and I had left a review then. A while back an employee or owner of the store replied to my review with foul language. Then my review was gone. Not sure if they talked Google into removing the bad review, or if it was removed due to the language in their reply. Either way, here it is again. If you dont want bad reviews, be more respectful with your customers.

Good selection of firearms and gear.Firearm prices are TOO high unfortunately.

While their selection is not limited by any stretch of the imagination their service and the mood in the shop is not doing this business any favors. After making a few purchases at the shop including a ruger handgun I returned a few more times just to skim their inventory. Truth be told I had been shopping for a new everyday carry and one afternoon I had $700 in my pocket ready to make a purchase. Then I noticed how high they were on a lot of their firearms as I browsed without even being acknowledged for 30 minutes. I mean, $400 for a hi-point 9 Carbine? LOL. Old english has both the .45 and 9mm for under $300 new less than 2 miles from this location. I wasnt looking to buy the hi-point Im merely using it as an example. I ended up purchasing my firearm from Old English. I recommend anyone in the Vandalia Tipp City Huber area go there instead.

Favorite gun shop in the Dayton area. Huge selection, personal service

Stopped by and stood around. Folks just chatting. got no service. I thought if I wanted a lack of Service, I could just go down the road to Tipp City. Went to Copes Distributing in Greenville instead. Best gun shopI have ever been to. The have a SMALL selection in the store but can get anything pretty quickly.

Fun friendly cheap and full of discounts

The person behind the counter was so rude.. I guess they didnt want our money.. I will never set foot in there again!!! Their loss! Go scoff at your mother like you did to us!!

Good variety decent prices

They know what there talking about and also dont rush you to get you to buy and leave.

The customer service is literally the worst in the area. The representatives seemed as if they really didn’t want to assist. We decide to go down the street to old English and got exactly what we needed.

Sort of a closed club for cops and retired cops. If you are not one of them, go elsewhere.

Professional and knowledgeable employees

This place is alright.
