Tampa Arms Corporation

Found this place while looking for spot to get slide modified for my red dot. They were very quick and knowledgeable. Did not purchase other stuff, but they have a large selection of fire arms. Was pleased with the machining and gunsmith work. Looking forward to taking my modified G26 to the range!

I contacted this business because I was looking to have some work done on my Glock 21 Gen-4. I wanted the barrel ported and the slide cut to fit a red dot optic because my vision has changed now that I'm older. The gentleman I spoke with on the phone was very nice and made some suggestions about what they could do. It left me with a good feeling after calling. I had actually called another place prior to this one, which was closer to my home, but I didn't get the same level of treatment. Subsequently, I went there with my firearm and optic and met with the staff. They were very helpful, showed me examples of their work, and explained the turnaround time would be a couple of weeks. I left my gun for the work to be done and picked it up about 2.5 weeks later. The gunsmith explained what he had done and we had a nice conversation about the work and potential future work if I wanted additional porting to further reduce recoil. The work looked very professional for both the porting and the receiver cut and mounting of my optic. It was very clean and looked like something you'd get from the factory. The gunsmith told me he'd be very interested to hear how the weapon fires now that he did the porting and asked that I follow-up with him. The fact that he took the time to ask and his concern was genuine left me with a good feeling that he really cares for his work and reputation. Today, I was able to throw some rounds downrange for the first time since having the work done. The optic and mount were perfect, although it took me a bit to dial it in and I likely could still get it a bit better. The porting was somewhat noticeable in recoil reduction, but could probable use more. I will follow-up with the shop and discuss options for additional porting. I would not hesitate to do business with this shop again. Pricing was fair and they did exactly what they promised to do. I never felt like I was being treated like an idiot, which you sometimes get from these types of businesses for whatever reason.
