Hunter Sports, Inc. — Attraction in Town of Oyster Bay

If your life depends on your weapon do not purchase your gun from here. I purchased a brand new Glock 19 Gen 5 with Night sights from here over a year ago. Ever since I bought this gun I have shot low with it, I have always assumed it was me as a shooter causing this. Over time I came to doubt this, I carry my issued Glock 17 and shoot almost perfect scores everytime then I switch to my personal owned daily carry Glock 19 and I shoot 20 points lower, my grouping drops at least 10 inches everytime from my Glock 17. My agency's firearms instructors(who all go to Glock armorer school) finally took a look and said something isn't right with the way this is shooting, he took a look and noticed the rear sight is stamped with "6.1 mm" on it which he said he had never seen before and the side of the side did not have the notch cut into it that the other 19's had. This was our clue that something was not right so we took out the Glock armorers manual and looked up with sight was supposed to be on my gun, long story short Glock universally employs 6.5 mm rear sights, they make one gun that uses a 6.1 mm sight which is a Glock 17L (long slide) which is a very uncommon gun and the only one that uses that articular sight so that's why they stamp it with 6.1 mm on it, to dummy proof it and prevent this exact situation from happening. My firearm instructor also told me he believed based on wear and tare on the rear sight and dimming of the glow in the night sight that this sight was several years old and would be much older than a new gun purchased a year ago. So I was told take it back to the dealer and if he tries to say this is how it was shipped to him just stop and report everything to Glock and let them deal with him as he is dirtying their name and they would not tolerate it. So I take a very angry drive to this store and decide not go in screaming as I was very upset being that I carry this gun everyday on the job and my life has been unnecessarily put at risk due to this situation for over a year, thankfully I never got into a shootout on the job with this weapon. I go in as calmly as I can and approach the owner and state that before we start fair warning my patience are extremely thin but I'm going to try and stay civil. He is immediately defensive and when I tell him that he sold me a gun with the wrong sights on it he immediately claims that Glock sent it that way. I state that we're done here and I'm calling Glock to tell them what he is doing. At this point his story changes from the gun being shipped to him that way to Glock must have sent him the wrong sight in his bag of new sights which he pulls out. He says I would have pulled it out of here so it must be Glocks fault. He says he doesn't know why the sight says 6.1 mm on it the other ones he has don't, even after I show him the page from the armorers manual and explain the "dummy proofing" he still maintains he can't verify any other sight would be correct then. I finally get him to remove my sight from my gun and compare to a new proper sized sight, he shrugs and say "ehh maybe there's a . something mm difference in the sight". Reality being there is a .4 mm difference in the sight, and a gun store owner should certainly understand that the wrong sight can greatly affect your shooting, and to say that to someone who may be using that firearm to protect my own life or anyone's life is astounding. So to try and suggest that it is unreasonable to be upset with him over the wrong sight being placed on it is dumbfounding. The way I see it the most likely chain of events was not that he maliciously gave me a wrong sight intentionally putting my life in jeopardy, I believe he was looking to save $80 on the new night he was supposed to give me and instead replaced it with an old sight he had laying around and even though he is a Glock authorized dealer he is too incompetent to know that the sight he put...

I've been going here for a few years, but I'm lousy with actually leaving reviews. This last time going however, I feel I have to. In the last 2 weeks I've actually purchased two firearms; one for my job and one for my personal use. Both times I found the sales clerks to be both extremely knowledgeable as well as patient. In the first instance Jason answered not only all my questions pertaining to my firearm (a Springfield XDS), but went on to answer any and all questions about shooting ranges in the Nassau County area he might recommend as well as holsters and differing opinions on future acquisitions. (He also knows his fountain pens) In the second, Mark was most patient in dealing with my back and forth over what handgun to get next. See I had my heart set on a Colt Delta Elite, but have heard a lot of good things about the CZ 75 Shadow 2. I didn't realize they actually had one in stock and asked to get a feel for it. Well I convinced myself that I wanted the Colt and ordered it from the warehouse. Then on my way home the thought of the Shadow 2 wormed it's way into my brain and less than 30 minutes later I called back and asked if I could cancel my order for the Colt and get the Shadow instead. He was extremely well mannered and dealt with my indecision better than I probable would have and that day I walked away with a purchase I was very comfortable with. (Note: this has nothing to do with the Colt, it is a fantastic gun and it will be mine one day but the work I want to put into it just wasn't in the budget this year.) Anyway, long post but I did promise I would leave a good review and given how much of a pain I was I feel it was deserved. 5...

Absolutely the worst gun store experience I’ve had on Long Island. The staff is rude, inattentive, and lazy. I was denied the basic courtesy of inspecting a semi-automatic rifle I was interested in — solely because I was still in the licensing process — even though I was actively purchasing other items from their store, including a Ruger Precision Rifle chambered in .308. Meanwhile, South Shore Sportsman had no issue letting me inspect similar rifles, as long as I wasn’t buying without a license. That’s how professional shops handle it.

Customer service here is non-existent. Multiple employees stood behind the counter glued to their phones while customers waited to be helped. It took over an hour just to process the pickup of my new rifle — an unacceptable delay.

To make matters worse, I brought in a broken bipod and asked if they could order me a replacement. Weeks went by. I followed up multiple times, only to be told they still hadn’t even checked their deliveries.

This store is a joke — disorganized, disrespectful, and completely unreliable. I will never return, and I strongly encourage others to take their business somewhere that values honesty, efficiency, and basic customer respect.
