About Armed In Michigan
Armed In Michigan stands out as a premier destination for firearm enthusiasts across Michigan, distinguished by their combination of expert CPL instruction and comprehensive gun shop services. This family-owned operation has built a stellar reputation - evidenced by their 4.9-star rating across 842 reviews - by consistently delivering professional service and knowledgeable guidance.
The business excels particularly in their Concealed Pistol License classes, where they’ve refined an approach that balances thoroughness with accessibility. Their instructors, most notably owner Spencer, are repeatedly praised for creating an environment that feels both educational and welcoming. Students consistently mention feeling nervous before their first CPL class, only to discover an instructor who is ’extremely helpful,’ ’thorough,’ and ‘very kind.’ One recent customer captured this sentiment perfectly: ‘I was so nervous but the instructor: Spencer was very kind and gave great instruction and guidance.’
Beyond the classroom, Armed In Michigan operates as a full-service firearms retailer. Their 1,000+ inventory spans premium brands including Ruger, Sig Sauer, Smith & Wesson, Glock, and Barrett. They offer more than just sales - FFL transfer services, ammunition across multiple calibers (including hard-to-find specialty rounds), laser engraving, custom holster design, and even a gun buyback program demonstrate their commitment to serving the complete spectrum of customer needs. The shop also provides a lifetime warranty on firearms, reflecting confidence in both their products and their relationships with customers.
What truly differentiates Armed In Michigan is the quality of their customer relationships. Reviewers frequently mention receiving timely email updates on orders, patient explanations from staff, and personalized recommendations for first-time gun buyers. The organization’s family-oriented ethos extends through their entire operation - couples frequently attend CPL classes together, and the business maintains locations in both Westland and Highland Township to serve the broader Michigan community. Their commitment to safety and education, which they consistently emphasize in responses to positive reviews, appears deeply embedded in their culture.
The Westland location operates Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 7 PM, Saturday 10 AM to 4 PM, and is closed Sundays. For those ordering online, be prepared for 2-3 week delivery times during peak seasons - though customers report the wait is worthwhile for the quality of service and products.
