Trojan has always been a fair and honest dealer, I have bought and traded at least a dozen firearms and have never had any problems with them. Sorry you had a bad experience

Trojan has always been a fair and honest dealer, I have bought and traded at least a dozen firearms and have never had any problems with them. Sorry you had a bad experience The two other negative experiences I had with them were within a year of them first opening. I figured they had gotten the "new business kinks" worked out since they have now been in business for five years. I was surprised as hell at the lack of customer service they showed. Whether it was their fault or not they couldn't get me an item I had paid for, they need to at least reply to an email or give me a phone call. Communication makes all the difference. The sales clerk on the floor seemed to want to play "call screener" and I'm not sure how much information was being passed up the chain. The times I called and asked to speak to either a manager or the individual who handles their financial transactions he would either say "they are too busy to talk to you," or "I will make sure she calls you."

Too much handling of loaded firearms by the clerks for me. When guns and ammo warehouse was there one of the clerks handed his loaded firearm to a customer who then lit off a round into the floor “trying the trigger”. For whatever reasons that kind of practice has remained with the change of ownership. I have seen clerks handle loaded firearms they are carrying multiple times on several different visits...sweeping both customers and fellow employees. And clerks handing their carry guns to customers to “try out”.
The straw that broke the camels back for me was when I inquired about a gun and the clerk drew his from his holster and said “like one of these?” When I reacted he assured me it was ok because “there was no round in the chamber”.
I have bought firearms from them before and been very satisfied with them. They seem like nice guys. They did sell glock 43Xs and 48s before the official glock release date for a marked up price which I thought was shady. Still, as I said, nice guys, but the unsafe firearm handling has been prevalent enough that even though I am just a few miles from them I choose to go to all shooters tactical or elite shooting now with the demise of Virginia arms.

all I will say is the original and now current owner has a history in these things. His selling it to the now second and former owner was the first step to making Virginia arms the best gun store in the area for 20 years The only things Virginia arms shares now with the gun store that thrived for 20 years is the name and location (and some of the stock that went along with the sale) with the demise of Virginia arms. Didnt the previous owner reopen Virginia Arms? I thought I heard that recently. Ive had nothing but positive experiences with Trojan, but Ive only been twice.

When Trojan first opened I went in to look around. This was when ammo was hard to get so what they had, the prices were really jacked up. I bought a pound of powder without asking the price, when I got to the cash register the price was $35 when the regular price at the time was around $20. I have walked in the store a few times since but haven't made another purchase. I live about 5 miles from the store and don't ever buy anything and gun stores are one of my favorite places in the world, that should tell you something.

I really miss the version of Virginia Arms that Bernie owned and ran. Very good selection and decent prices. Plus Bernie remembered names and had a personality. He was always getting nice consignments in - PPKS, Det Spec, metal SIG’s, you name it. Went back in about three weeks ago & it was beyond depressing. Same old ridiculously over-priced revolvers among a noticeably smaller consignment inventory. I wish them the best but they just don’t seem to be getting any traffic anymore. I will never go back to Trojan. I agree 100% about Bernie's VA Arms. With him no longer running it, I'm without a local gun shop. I end up driving an hour and a half to Greentop.

I’ve had one e oweience with Trojan at a gun show and it was good, but likely doesn’t count as they had what I needed on hand and processing was quick

Trojan is my go to shop. Customer service is great and their prices on new guns beat a lot of what people list used guns on here for. They definitely beat anyone else in the Manassas area in the price department and they always have massive gun inventory. They also have tons of ammo in stock and while it isn’t always bargain basement cheap it is available and fairly priced for the market. On Saturdays they do some good sales, yesterday federal 9mm RTP was $17 a box of 50 which is cheaper than anyone on ammoseek as of this writing.
