For many Ohio Valley residents, a trusted shop means knowledgeable staff, clear safety guidance, and service you can count on—whether you’re buying your first firearm, scheduling a transfer, or getting a repair. In the Weirton Daily Times Best of the Best 2025 Readers Choice Awards for the Steubenville area, locals highlighted businesses that combine responsible sales with practical support. If you value selection, straight answers, and reliable follow-through, start with these five.
A Wintersville standby, Sportsman’s Trading Post is the classic counter experience: questions welcomed, options compared, and the right fit found without fuss. Shoppers come for everyday firearm needs—handguns, rifles, and shotguns—plus accessories and help with the basics like holsters, cleaning supplies, and more.
At Rural King, convenience meets breadth. The Steubenville store pairs farm-and-home selection with a sporting goods department, so it’s easy to pick up ammo, range gear, or storage solutions while you’re handling the rest of the list. Clear hours and in-store pickup make timing a nonissue.
Smith Outfitters in Steubenville blends retail with services that matter after purchase, including gunsmithing, laser engraving, and compliant transfers. The shop emphasizes fit and function, helping customers dial in setups—from optics and lights to slings and safes—so new gear is range-ready.
Weirton’s Homeland Firearms focuses on customer service and straightforward transactions. It’s a practical stop for purchase questions, transfers, and accessories, with local ties that make it easy to get answers quickly and keep gear maintained over time.
Powers combines a gun shop with training—concealed carry classes, fundamentals, and refreshers—so you can pair a purchase with instruction. The result is a one-stop plan: responsible ownership supported by gear, range essentials, and structured courses to build skill and confidence.
