Hammer Outdoor Sports

Hi Everyone,
I recently posted about opening my own online business. I asked for feedback and made some adjustments. I would appericiate some more honest feedback.
Just as a backstory, I am a collector and decided to get my FFL as a way to make collecting easier. This site is just a way for me to monitize it a bit. It is not my main source of income.
As a thank you for your feedback, I have created a promo code "REDDITFS" that will give you free shipping on everything with no minimum if you decide to purchase anything.

I tried to purchase a Walther PDP from this business on 10/1/2025. I paid for the gun and was told the gun would be shipped in 2-10 business days. After the 10 days went by I contacts "sales support" for an update. No response. I tried again two days later. I got a reply stating, "I was out of town on an emergency. I'll look into this ASAP." That was three days ago. I sent two more emails and again, no response. I just disputed the transaction with my cc company and they'll be giving me a refund. Just wanted to let you all know what happened to me and to think twice before ordering anything from this "business".

*update* The owner contacted me and gave me an explanation as to why my order was mishandled. I really appreciated his honest attempt to make things right. He seems like a good guy. I was wrong to imply he was purposely doing anything shady.

I purchased a Taurus G3C with stainless slide. I received one with black slide. Owner apologized for mistake and we agreed to swap slides. I mailed him the black slide June 27th it's July 25th. I was texted that he had it and slide would be sent out shortly. I've been texting and no response for the past month customer service is BS. When you admit your fault and say your going to do something to make things right, have some integrity and do it! I've texted many times I'm still waiting for my SS Slide please make things right!

Hi Top Opportunity.
I emailed you back a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, the slide does have a serial number on it. I have to send the replacement to your FFL or have you pick it up here. Please email me at nick@hammertimeguns.com
Thank you

Nicholas, come on my guy. I know it took a few months to discover that you gave me the wrong Taurus Judge model cause it is actually really hard to tell unless you have an 3inch shell or you reach out to Taurus themselves. At least respond to the email on any updates. You responded very fast initially. I just want what I ordered which is a Taurus Judge Magnum.

Hi Armor, apologies for the delay, looking at this now
osnap32@reddit

ArmorXIII@reddit
Appreciate it

Hey I ordered a hammock and was happened to be researching the site and stumbled apon this! Way to go man! That’s awesome that you opened this little e-commerce shop. And I think it’s great that you are integrated with Shop, that’s where I found your site.
StuckInTheUAE@reddit
Don't buy from this store. It's been a month and no shipping information has been provided. I've sent multiple messages over several weeks asking for an update and have been ignored entirely. Stay tf away. Go use one of the other hundreds of drop shippers that actually respond.
Solid-Ad7095@reddit
Doesn't respond to emails. Paid on my layaway but the payment doesn't post on the account.
PaintingMe@reddit
Answer your email or text message please

Really poor communication so far. Placed an order March 26, more than 2 weeks in and it's like pulling teeth trying to get updates from the shop. They processed my order, but refuse to respond via text, email, or phone.
Hoping to get some kind of update before I do a chargeback.
loserfisted@reddit
Thanks for this update. I was about to buy from them but I think I’ll buy somewhere else.
heme1@reddit
Happy to announce that I finally received it. Took a very long time, was the biggest downside. Other downside is that it arrived blemished, when I paid for new. Didn't bother fighting it, since it was just scratched on the top and I'm thinking of milling the slide, anyways.
All in all.. think it was a lot of hassle, but was a good price and received the gun.
loserfisted@reddit
That’s good to hear. I ordered what I was needing from https://deleonrxgunsandammo.com/ they had the BEST price on a Delta point pro I was looking for. I’ll be ordering from them again. He states on his site that he does not stock and has to get it from is distributor so it took a week for him to receive and yesterday I got a notification that it has shipped to me. I ordered on 4-16 and I should have it by Saturday.
heme1@reddit
I'm still waiting brother. They finally responded Friday saying it was out of stock and they're trying to get it from somewhere else. But communication stopped again.
Going to give it another week or 2 before I do a chargeback. They had a really good deal, too, so trying to keep my hopes up that they just aren't good at communicating.
heme1@reddit
Just placed an order for a Springfield EMP. Really nice deals.
aea002@reddit
Aloha, do you have any CC9s in stock?
Street-Anything8345@reddit

gggffffrrtyhhhhggf@reddit
Hey, do you have any promo codes that are active? I’m trying to buy a handgun through your site. Thanks
Obvious_Doctor6836@reddit
May be repeating myself but on first email I got said you offer layaway normally I wouldn’t use it but you have a few colt 1911 that I want and it’s a lot of change to shell out in one payment. When I contacted support on page they said you did not offer layaway so which is it
HammerOutdoorSports@reddit
Hi Obvious Dr.
I am sorry, I am not on Reddit very often. I do offer layaway.
spicychicken62@reddit
Hey is the promo code still available/ a new one? Thanks!
blankford@reddit

angeloelandary1@reddit
I would highly recommend anyone to use this seller, it was my first time purchasing a firearm online and he made it extremely easy and helped me through out the process. He has great response time, very informative, and crazy fast shipping time. I look forward to doing business with him again!

I gave a few comments last time, but now I have a question. Are you able to buy an LCP Max Elite from Davidson's? Or are they completely out of stock?
nhammerschmidt@reddit (OP)

BHammer1982@reddit
Do you give discounts to anyone named Hammer? Hahaha
nhammerschmidt@reddit (OP)

While I still think you’re crazy to jump into this over saturated market competing against places like PSA and PA, your site looks much better now. Prices are more in line with what I’d expect but more importantly you’ve done a good job organizing things so that the stuff that doesn’t have the best prices doesn’t jump out at you. Example being some of the personal defense ammo that you obviously can’t compete price-wise with the big buys is buried behind the better priced stuff and takes some clicks to see. It’s not as off-putting to those of us that check those sort of things first off.
I’m still skeptical on firearm pricing though. I’m not sure who would spend a thousand dollars on a DPMS AR15 when you can get two PSA15s or Andros plus a Dagger for that price. Nor would I sell the high priced stuff you have listed. Seems awfully expensive way to tie up a bunch of cash in inventory that moves slow.
Best of luck though my man. I wish you nothing but the best and hope you’re wildly successful even if it seems like I’m picking your shit apart looking to trash talk.
