Towards the end of 2011 I brought my pistol to Charlie's Sporting Goods because it was jamming and I thought I'd have them look at it in lieu of paying $75 to ship it back to the manufacturer for warranty servicing. The pistol was a few months old with a few hundred rounds through it. The gunsmith's name whom I spoke to while there escapes me, though it was not the owner Charlie himself. The gunsmith recommended a "strip and lube" and that I continue to break it in (break-in period is 500 rounds). During the conversation, I ... read more

hmmmmm..... – Charlies is a mixed bag. most of the time they are very service orientated, but I had one bad experience years ago with one of their gunsmiths. ( I will go to use their gunsmith shop again) also a little pricey on some stuff, but they don't hide it, its right on the tag. go in eyes wide open, right?

Buy, Sell and Trade – Hey Albuquerque! I was put on to Charlie's Sporting Goods six years ago. What strikes me most is the ability to do business. Charlie has the guns well marked "new", 'used" or "consignment". There is no mistake on what you are purchasing. (And remember, all NEW guns have been fired from the manufacturer before hitting the stores.) The attitudes of the employees is great. Everyone wants to help. In my six years dealing with Charlie's I have bought or traded SEVERAL times. I am telling anyone... "Go to Cha... read more

Charlies Sporting Goods – They always have my .410 ammo, and don't waste my time. However, when I do want to waste some time their staff is knowledgeable and they are approachable with out being too overbearing. I am always very price-point concious and they always humor me by listening.

Great People, great service – Charlie's is a great place whether you are a novice or an expert outdoors sportsman. I have been doing business with Charlie for countless years! The one negative review listed here is from someone that doesn't have any experience in firearms. All guns are test fired at the factory and not cleaned prior to shipment for multitude of reasons, one being to attest that they work and that they were test fired. Friendly, helpful and knowledgable. Different from big box stores, family owned and operate... read more

Worth the money place – I’ve used Charlie’s for over 17 years to meet my hunting and fishing needs. They are the go-to place in the state for good information and solid customer service. Prices may not be the lowest around but it is worth any extra you pay, if any, for the service they provide. If you want it, they can fix you up. From fixing broken fly rods, to great advice on selecting shotguns, and everyday fly fishing supplies, they are THE PLACE to shop. See Chuck for fly fishing and Valerie for guns, they will solve yo... read more

Best Sporting Goods in Southwest!!! – I was lucky enough to find Charlie's when I first moved here in the summer of 1980. I was a much younger man then and even slighlty worried the staff wouldn't be accepting of my many questions from a young kid with shaggy hair....I couldn't have been more wrong! They went above and beyond! Not only did they take the time to answer all my questions but, they even pulled out a large map to show me exactly where to go dove hunting in the upcoming season (in fact, it's still one of my favori... read more

Cheats and Thieves – Recently, I was in the market for a new handgun and a couple buddy's of mine recommended that I go to Charlie's. They were very insistent that it was the best gun store in Albuquerque with a knowledgeable and friendly staff, so being a sucker, I took their advice. At the time I didn't know too much about firearms, I did some research on some pistols and found one that would fit my budget; to my 'luck' Charlie's had one in stock and it was 'new'. After I had made the purchase and and already taken in home... read more
