Island Firearms Inc

The best transfer prices around Pittsburgh always friendly and knowledgeable I have had any great experiences with island firearms not a big shop but always have a decent inventory especially if you are looking for fishing gear

Really nice and knowledgeable lady’s got me checked out out the door in 5 mins

Met with 2 friendly women there to complete my purchase of a gun sent there

Little pricey but love to support a small business and there friendly

Very good fast friendly service, Once I picked the gun I wanted, sale was completely done under 5 minutes. And gave me 100 rounds of 22LR free. Great place family operated, grandfather and granddaughter behind the counter. If you don't see what you want just ask they have more than out on display. I will be buying more firearms from them for sure. Great place. 👍👍

Wonderful experience here. Even though it was busy, the employees at the counter made sure to greet me. They worked quickly and efficiently. When it was my turn to be helped, they answered any questions I had and were super knowledgeable. I absolutely cannot recommend enough. 5 stars, will definitely be returning!

I purchased a gun from a private party and did the FFL transfer there. It was pretty textbook and both the guy and gal there at that time chatted and were in general terms, friendly. I appreciated the service and bought some items while there. The place is as mom and pop as it gets which is kind of cool in my opinion. I see it as a solid store with plenty of history on the island.

I have been dealing with Wayne for the last 2 years & made A LOT of transactions / purchases through & from him and i will say that I don't have a single complaint. Very knowledgeable with every dam gun you can think of & treats everyone like family. Doesn't hurt that he also takes very good care of us LEO's. I wouldn't hesitate to send anyone there knowing he would take care of them & he's honest enough to tell you where to get things cheaper if he isn't the cheapest on something.

Small, mom and pop hunting & fishing store. Wayne is a great guy, and has a knowledgeable staff. Gun transfers done quick and his prices are very reasonable. Store is very small...complete 180 from the big box stores. But they're hearts are a big as those other places.

Today I was helped out by two super nice ladies that assisted me in trading in my HK for a wonderfully kept used S&W6906. Price was fair for the trade-in and for the used Smith. 5 stars.

Wayne the owner has known my family for a long time ever since my dad was a kid. Always helping out anyone who stepped in his store and joking around. I believe his daughter now runs the place since he retired.

I am new to guns and still learning things. I don't know why, but every gun store I have been to, the clerks treat me like I am not worthy of even being in their store. They answer my questions with smerks and act like the last thing on earth they want to be doing is deal with me (even though I am spending money). This was the only place where I did not feel like that. I was able to have a good conversation with the clerk and he answered my questions like someone running a business should. This will be the only gun store that I frequent.

I've been purchasing, selling, shooting firearms for very many years, and have completed transations all around the Pittsburgh area. There is no place I'd rather spend my money than Island Firearms.

I've read some reviews here that I can assure are flat out null and void.
Particularly the review of the individual who had the FFL transfer issue and claims a $20 overcharge.
Call and ask specifically about the FFL charges for transferring and receiving firearms.

Receiving shipped goods and simple P2P transfer are very often treated differently, priced differently, and for good reason.

Either way you do it, it is fair, and the most inexpensive place in the Pittsburgh area.

I've purchased multiple firearms, fishing gear, traded in firearms for others, sold firearms, made P2P transfers, P2P purchases and sales, and never had an incident or negative experience.

Wayne is a good guy, knowledgeable, and helpful.

Understand that managing a small business is difficult.
Being afforded the luxury of utilizing an FFL for receiving firearms purchased outside of the store is detrimental to the sales of the shop itself, and certainly not a channel of business that is making anybody rich.

If you do it a number of times, you realize the value of it, and should understand that if your tracking information says the item has arrived--that doesn't mean that the owner of the shop should drop everything, grab YOUR package, and work on paperwork and processing stuff through their system.

Selection is great--you can also order an incredible array of items from the new online store.
Go check them out.
I am in no way affiliated with Island Firearms, just a happy customer.

Mr. Lykens shop is a staple in the area for all of your hunting, fishing and firearms needs. He's a straight shooter, no pun intended, and has forgotten more about the industry than most people learn in a lifetime. His prices are fair and his inventory is extensive.

Most of the time have a good deal and Wayne takes care of business! Bought several guns here and never had an issue....

In fact, I may go down now and check out what he has and pick somethin' up!

Good people down here. Every Glock I've ever purchased has been through Island firearms. On top of the outstanding customer service they also have alot of fun stuff to check out.

This place is the greatest bait shop and gun shop around! Great prices and great people!

I am fairly new to guns. I owned a 22 caliper rifle years ago, but certainly never considered myself to be a gun expert. I was giving thought to buying a small handgun for the past couple of years, and recently I finally made the decision to buy. I researched the web considerably and decided that the Kel Tec was the type of gun I was looking for. After checking out gun shops in the area, I settled on Island Firearms.

If you are looking for a place of beauty, Island Firearms is not your place. With that being said, my experience there was great. The owner was pleasant, informative and extremely helpful. He was not condescending at all, and in fact he was quite patient and taught me a lot about concealed weapons and provided me with sound advice on the type of gun to purchase. I ended up buying a Ruger LCP .380. The price was quite reasonable and well within my budget.

I will definitely go to this shop again. It was a pleasant experience.

Great tackle shop . Good supply of fresh bait . Owner very informative on fishing the area . Bought a nice used Penn reel and great catfishing tackle . This will be my Go-To shop when I'm fishing this area .

Went in for the first time today. The staff there were very friendly and helpful. Great prices on their products. Would definitely recommend.
