Avoid Irvington Arms

Been to IA a couple of times with some pistol repair and maintenance questions. Also checked out a few firearms. I was always treated fairly. No complaints on my end.

My first couple visits to IA, I got the vibe that they werent interested in my business and would be happy if I left their store. After a couple visits picking stuff up I needed (their the closest gun store to me) they were actually pretty cool. Don't remember their names, but the older bald headed guy even helped me knock a roll pin out one of my lowers because my punch was broken. Called them up he told me to bring it down and helped me out free of charge.

As of 2/11 he still has a terrible attitude, but maybe he just didn't like me. He was fine until I put money down and then he was terribly rude. Its as if he's trying to get one of his customers into a murderous rage so they put him out of his misery.

Based on the number of positive reviews, I can only gather that he is not like this all of the time. It may be race and age specific so if you are also a knowledgeable (but defer to his greatness) middle aged white man, you might have an acceptable experience with him.

The younger guy and the woman there were both helpful and friendly. Its a shame I wasn't able to deal more with them.

Yeah, I still have concerns about the original post (did that ever get resolved?) but I think this recent bump sounds more like a personal vendetta.
