Phoenix Firearms

Phoenix Firearms is a Type 07 FFL operating from New London, CT—the only firearms dealer in the area. They handle everything: sales, transfers, custom builds, and firearms manufacturing. Because they're home-based, they work by appointment, so you call, text, or email to schedule.

• •NRA Pistol Permit Courses - They run the full NRA Basics of Pistol Shooting course required for your CT Pistol Permit (CCW). Two NRA Certified Instructors means flexible scheduling. The course includes all materials, safety equipment, firearms (semi-auto and revolvers), and ammunition. You'll shoot .22, .38, and 9mm. You get your certificate same day.

• •Standard class: $100 per person
• •Private classes: $400 minimum for up to 4 people ($100 each additional)
• •Female-led women-only classes available
• •They serve New London and surrounding towns: Waterford, Groton, Norwich, Montville, and more

• •Sales & Inventory - Recent stock includes vintage S&W revolvers (K22 Masterpiece), shotguns (Mossberg, Remington), and specialty pieces like Bond Arms derringers. Call to see what they have or discuss what you're looking for.

• •Customizing & Builds - As a Type 07 FFL, they make and customize firearms. Recent work includes custom pistol builds, optic mounting (RMR sights), and specialized projects. Pricing beats major chains according to customer reviews.

• •Transfers - FFL transfer services for firearms purchased elsewhere.

"Lee sold me my Ruger Precision Rifle, did custom work on another bolt action, and built me a custom firearm, all at a price I couldn't dream of getting elsewhere." — Pasquale Lamperelli

Customers consistently mention Lee and Jess's knowledge, professionalism, and willingness to help. They're not rushing you through transactions—they actually explain things and make sure you understand. One instructor review noted "attention to detail and expert advice" even for shooters who already knew their way around a gun.
