BULLDOG FIREARMS — Local services in Rio Rancho

This is a great company. On my last visit to the shop, I was very impressed. I have had the pleasure of meeting the owner a few times. He is very knowledgeable and was willing to take a considerable amount of time away from all other things to dedicate personal customer service to me. I appreciated that he taught me things that of course an expert should know without making me feel like I should have already known it. I also appreciated that that he was willing to say "I don't know" when in fact he didn't. Honesty is a great virtue in my philosophy. I will continue to do business with them in the future and highly recommend this shop to others. Good business goes both ways.

Update: It has been about a 6 months since my last visit (and review) to this store. I RARELY do reviews unless I think it is absolutely worth my time to share with other people. Bulldog Firearms in Rio Rancho is the best firearm store I have ever been to. I used to like Los Ranchos Gun Shop (and still very much do) but the customer service I received by Andrew (the owner) has put them at the very top of my list.

Long story short: Originally I had an issue with my rifle the day after buying it new from them, at no fault of their own (rather the manufacturer) I had to return it to them to have it sent back to the manufacturer and wait 3-4 weeks until being sent back. Instead of waiting, I asked Andrew if I could swap it for an identical rifle and he took what would have been my problem upon himself. I am extremely impressed with his service and commitment to customer satisfaction (and this is not the first time either that I have been impressed). If you live anywhere in Albuquerque, I promise you it would be worth the drive to Rio Rancho to visit the guys down at Bulldog Firearms. You can trust that they will take...

I went into Bulldogs to try and find a stun gun. An old man came up to me and asked if I needed help finding anything and I told him what I was looking for. He told me I was "better off hitting them with a stick" and said if the person is trained to withstand pain, such as an athlete, a stun gun wouldn't help me. Athletes aren't trained to take getting tazed so I'm not sure what that had to do with anything. Football players, basketball players, any kind of athlete is not out there playing and getting tazed. He said another reason why he didnt like it is because with it there would be contact. If someone is attacking me of course there will be contact. If someone is trying to kidnap you or assault you they will be physically touching your body. I told him I'm a woman and I dont carry, and then he told me that cops have a lot of issues with tasers. I dont appreciate a man trying to talk me out of protecting myself, and his idea of hitting them with a stick is just ridiculous. The taser will at least slow them down and hopefully give me enough time to get away. And where am I going to find a big stick if I am getting attacked in my home, on the street, etc? I am still floored...

I can't say enough good things about about Bulldog Firearms. I purchased a firearm online and had it sent to Bulldog, as is necessary for a background check. Yesterday I was notified by the carrier that my package had arrived at Bulldog, and amazingly, exactly 21 minutes later I was notified by Bulldog that my package was in, and to come by for the background check. 21 minutes! Considering that they make a such a paltry sum for this service (less than 20 bucks), this prompt service is simply amazing. I expected to wait a couple of days to hear from them. Anyone interested in firearms should really stop by Bulldog Firearms. Their staff is friendly and very helpful, and considering the size of the shop, their inventory is astounding. If you are looking for something firearm related, I'll bet that Bulldog Firearms has it. I really think that their inventory rivals the gun section of Cabelas. I particularly like their used accessory section. I could rummage through that section all day. Bulldog Firearms on Southern in Rio Rancho. I guarantee that you won't be...
