Great small gun store. Owner is very helpful. My son and nephew have also made purchases there and are very satisfied.

went in, asked a few questions and purchased. straight forward and knowledgeable. friendly and fair. i recommend.

Al was excellent and applied no pressure to make a sale. In fact, when I pick-up the gun I purchased in mid-December, I'll be purchasing another from him as well. Highly recommend this local gun store. read more

Excelente lugar. La persona en arcada es muy amable y le gusta que la gente se vaya satisfecha.

Amazing customer service, very friendly, and very knowledgeable. Never rushes you, gives you a lot of advice, and is a very nice and friendly guy. I have been coming here for years, and they never disappoint. Process is always super fast and I am always happy to support our local shop. You won't get this type of speed or customer service/care at big stores. They always have a great selection. Great shop!! read more

The customer service here is amazing. Always super helpful and a pleasure to do business with. I've been a customer of this shop for many years and have purchased from Al multiple times. They're extremely knowledgeable about everything they sell in their shop. They also have some good used firearms from time to time that are worth checking out. When it comes to customer service, satisfaction, and support, you'll want to make sure this is where you come to purchase you 2A needs. Big box stores might save you $10-20 dollars, but being able to walk in, get what you need and walk out without pulling a paper number and waiting 1-2 hours is worth it in my opinion. read more

Man what a nice store and great guy Al a beast and helps with everything, came in a couple times

Not the guys fault, but there was only one person working and took long time. Place is small. But at least they can do ppt's, have ammo, and rifles. read more

I've only had positive vibes working with Al. He gave me a fair price on a pistol I was selling and had cleaned up some work I did on my Sig 238 . Highly recommend checking out Al's for your firearm needs. read more

Al is knowledgable and courteous to all of his customers that I've seen. He takes time to help you figure out the right firearm for you and educate you on the proper handling and care for your weapon. Al's Guns and Gear is a stellar example of a small family business done right and I will continue to refer this location to friends and family with needs he can assist with. read more

First time here. Easy to get in. No wait really. Showed interest in a firearm, made a call, began talking to a staff member and was told the firearm I showed interest in was well in stock and had about 5 left since they just got a shipment. Began talking price and deposit when another customer walked in. Was helped by another staff member (that was aware of the firearm I was going for) showed and sold to the customer that just walked in. I know business is business but that was pretty shady and not courteous at all. I had good vibes about this place until then. I even overlooked the high price of the firearm. Thanks but I rather deal with a 2 hour wait somewhere else than to be skipped over after getting in first and waiting to speak to someone about deposit fee. read more

I just purchased a fire arm from here today and I could not be happier with my purchase and the customer service. Very helpful and great inventory. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family. read more

Unlike turners or ammo Bros this place didn't have a wait, HOWEVER it's a MAJOR rip off. So either wait in line forever or pay a ridiculous amount up to you Edit - just go to turners n spend a little more time instead of triple the money read more

Al and Lisa are extremely friendly and helped me with a special custom order I needed. Al was very knowledgeable and was able to help me find something that met my specifications. I was also looking for something specific for hunting and informed him that I saw a deal at another store. Al immediately and honestly told me that the other store had a great deal (they were selling at-cost basically), and that I should purchase it there instead. This kind of honesty is much appreciated, and they have definitely earned my business. The atmosphere is very casual and friendly, and you really get that mom and pop shop feel here. I highly recommend this place to both first-time buyers and seasoned buyers. read more

Al service is really good. There's a great variety of firearms to choose from too when making a purchase.

I purchased my first firearm here. Customer service was great! Lisa was very thorough, answered every question. Al was very patient demonstrating the gun, how it works, how to load and clean. They took their time with me making sure any questions were answered and I felt comfortable. I appreciate this very much! read more

Just bought my first AR rifle here and the owner was very helpful with the service. Great shop great shop!

i had a great first time buyer experience. Al is very helpful & respectful when it comes any firearm related questions! Very happy to have done business here & will most definitely be a returning customer. I was most nervous about asking "silly" questions but Al was very patient with me & handled every question with confidence & great knowledge! All in all a great experience, i'm very happy with my purchase & cant wait to go back! read more

I usually shop at major chain stores and felt uncomfortable with how sale rep. Being an Asian I tend to get an unwelcome feeling for some reasons! So I decided to shop at local gun shop and Al's Guns and Gear is near where in live. I am glad I came to this place! The owner "Al" and "Lisa" were very helpful and friendly. You don't feel intimidating but welcome feeling. Al is knowledgeable and put no pressure to buy anything! I am glad I found this place to shop from now on. I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

Al and Lisa are friendly and knowledgeable. I've seen that they are patient with new gun owners and try to steer new gun buyers into firearms that will help them learn rather than a higher profit margin product that may not be right for a new shooter. The firearms community needs to continue to support great small businesses like this. read more

When we entered for the first time the place was so packed, but we waited. When we were called Al treated us with so much respect and care. Al was so nice and knowledgeable even without a break he was extremely knowledgeable. Lisa was also very kind and helpful behind the counter. We came back again, because we wanted a rifle and yet again Al was so nice to us. He really cares for his clients. This is the reason why we should go to small businesses over the bigger shop. Here we are treated for who we are not just a number. I strongly recommend going here if you need any firearm read more

Went in today looking to buy a firearm for my 21st birthday. Owner was super cool and explained the whole process and let me look/feel multiple firearms. Definitely going back in the future read more

There are two local gun shops that I was interested in. The first one I visited was Norco Armory and the second was Al's Guns and Gear in Corona. Both are small stores, but both have really good service. I ended up buying my guns (and gear) at Al's (Norco Armory was closed at the time), and let me tell you that I was quite impressed. While Al's gun shop may be small, he has a surprising amount of handguns and rifles. He also has a good stock of peripheral items and ammo. And Al's Guns and Gear is only about 5 to 7 minutes away from my home, which makes it extremely convenient. I purchased two weapons at Al's; a Glock 19 and a Smith & Wesson M&P AR-15. The AR-15 was used, but looked in immaculate condition. There wasn't any sign of wear on the outside or inside, not even on the Bolt Carrier Group. What a find! Al is friendly and patient and doesn't try to over sell. People like him are a pleasure to do business with. For a guy just getting back into firearms after a very long hiatus, I couldn't be more pleased about how I was treated. Do yourself a favor and check them out. You'll be glad you did. read more

Gotta hand it to Al! This is a great shop and Al is the guy to talk to! I was looking for a hard to find item and not only was he able to get a hold of it, but made sure it was Cali compliant, and competitive with his price! I already know that I will have to stop in every time that I am in the neighborhood. Thanks, Al! read more

This place sucks... employees are rude as hell... like I'm disturbing them...! Guess the don't want my money... I'll take it some where else... read more

Nice people. Super overpriced. Your paying for a large profit margin for Al. He charged me $460 for a p22 that I could have got for $300 at turners. read more

Who owns this place, Al or Guong? Tried to call multiple times but they have a robot blocking system that keeps you from getting through. Not a good way to pick up new customers. read more

Went into Al's to see what's available during current shortages. Very welcoming and friendly, answered all questions, provided some alternative options since what we were looking for were sold out. Great service. read more

The owner "Al" and "Lisa" were very helpful and friendly. Al is knowledgeable and put no pressure to buy anything! I am a costumer for 20 years. I would recommend this place for Ammo and all firearms. read more

First time purchase and the process was extremely simple with their help. I could not be happier with the process and their service. 10/10

This was the fifth place we went looking for our first handgun. Al patiently showed us his inventory, answered all of our questions (and then some) and guided us to a gun we purchased. It was a great experience with Al and Lisa. It is obvious they are customer focused and care about their clients. We appreciated they didn't make us take a number! The only reason this isn't a five star review is it is obvious the shop is not finished yet. read more

Never picks up, has nothing in shop and acts surprised to see new costumers, guess years of shit service amounts to having shitty attitude right off the bat. read more

First time gun buyer here. Al is very patient and answered all my questions. I really liked how he doesn't persuade one gun over another. He let me hold several different handgun at various budgets. His answers were very informative, both positive and negative about each model. I end up pick one that fits best I my hand, Sig P229 Enhanced Elite. Couldn't be more happier with this choice and will definitely come back for my second one! read more

Best gun shop in IE, very knowledgeable and friendly owner, good price, take special orders, will buy again

Al and Lisa have always been extremely helpful in acquiring our firearms. We are new shooters and have purchased all our firearms at Al's. If he doesn't have the firearm in stock he is more than willing to order one or help with a transfer. These are hard times for gun shops not being able to get the firearms, ammo, and other products they need to stay alive. During these hard times the smaller shops need to charge more for items as they have to pay more for them to stay alive. Without our smaller gun shops we would have to stand in 4 hour lines, at the larger gun shops, just to find out they don't have the item you need or will no longer order or handle a transfer for you for a reasonable fee. Pricing on all items we purchase today have gone up and not unreasonable for us to pay more for items we want or need in the gun shops also. Myself and friends will continue to travel the extra miles to Al's when needing firearms and supplies. No other shops have been as helpful and as nice to work with than Al's. Can't wait to pick another revolver for my wife tomorrow. Thanks Al. read more

Don't purchase from here. I seen a gun I wanted and checked with Al's for availability. I was told it was in stock. I purchased immediately ( around dec.1st). Two weeks went by and I still didn't have a tracking number so I called them. I was told it ships from manfacture and I should still receive before Christmas. A couple more days to Christmas and still nothing, so I reached out to Al's again. This time they told me the gun was on backorder and they couldn't tell me when I would receive. The gentleman (con-man) told me that he was still trying to resolve backorder from September. I told him that I would like a refund and would purchase somewhere else. He said that wouldn't be a problem but still charged me a 20%-25% shipping and handling fee. So not only was I unable to have Christmas present for my son, now I'm out of pocket. These people are garbage. Budsgunshop.com or palmettostatearmory.com is what I would recommend. So far I haven't had any issues with those two places and customer service has been exceptional. Stay away from Al's. It's a con job, they sell guns they say are in stock and then once you decide to no longer wait several months- half year to receive and you cancel order, they charge you a fee for services they couldn't provide. Shameful (Left kind of way) to do business. Zero star is more applicable. read more

Haven't been since ownership change but they always knew their stuff and could order most guns despite inventory.
