The Armory Gun Store: firearms, suppressors and gunsmithing in Salem, Connecticut
A full-service gun store. A team that meets you where you are.
Handguns, rifles, shotguns, ammunition, accessories, training, gunsmithing, and suppressors, with knowledgeable staff who take the time to get it right.
We built The Armory to serve all of them.
The firearms community is as diverse as the people in it. Our customers include military veterans, law enforcement officers, competitive shooters, hunters, and serious collectors. They also include people walking into a gun store for the very first time, with honest questions and no idea where to start.
Our staff is experienced, knowledgeable, and above all, patient. Tell us what you're looking for, or tell us what you're curious about, and we'll take it from there. Your time is valuable, and we'll make sure every minute you spend with us moves you closer to your goal.
Welcome.
Know exactly what you want?
We'll talk shop. Calibers, actions, optics, triggers, load data: we speak the language and we respect your expertise. Tell us the specs and we'll find it, order it, or build it.
Just getting started?
You're in the right place. We'll explain things clearly, answer every question without rushing you, and help you understand your options, your responsibilities, and Connecticut's permit and eligibility requirements. No question is too basic. Everyone started somewhere.
