The wait at the gun counter is long, because the location is fairly busy. Buying guns take a decent amount of time in California.

Additionally, the archery and fishing departments have very knowledgeable staff and are a huge wealth of information.

Byron and his CRUE are always there to take care of you with the personal feeling with no attitudes like Turners/Rifle Gear.Everyone at those other shops think they are cops or want-a-be NAVY SEALs. Whitten has ex cops, military, and just good god loving Americans working for him. This is my go to shop as I have purchased over 10 guns so far from Whitten Sales. I am a professional who relies on my tools and love these guys and the prices are always right. Oh and the music is always rockin thanks to Mr 80's. I recommend this shop over any others in the state of Comifornia. Good job guys and I will see you soon.

From the moment I walked in, it was clear that this was not just another firearms retailer; this was a place where craftsmanship meets customer care. I came in looking for a MAC9, and the team treated my search not as a transaction, but as a tailored experience. The staff's knowledge was matched only by their respect for safety and responsibility, which was both reassuring and refreshing. The MAC9 itself is everything I hoped for solid in the hand, smooth in operation, and precise in performance. Every component feels deliberate, every feature purposeful. It's a firearm that inspires confidence, and Portside Munitions ensured that confidence started the moment I stepped through their door. In a market where many shops can feel rushed, indifferent, or transactional, Portside Munitions stands apart. They operate with integrity, expertise, and genuine enthusiasm for what they do. Whether you're a first-time buyer or a seasoned collector, you'll leave here with more than just a purchase you'll leave with knowledge, assurance, and a product you can trust. If you value professional service, authentic passion, and top-tier hardware, make Portside Munitions your first and only stop.

First time gun buyer, and I didn't know what to expect. The gentleman that helped me was blunt but…read morehelpful. I probably annoyed him because I signed the wrong spot on the paper and it was near closing time. However, that doesn't take away from the process of how helpful the staff is when it comes to helping you out with your purchases or anything related to the sales of guns. Here's the process for all customers I think and first time buyers will be detailed below: Oh first thing is first, you'll need: - Have your invoice (if you order online) and let the clerk know where you ordered it from: Their website (Ammo Bros) or a third party website. This will help the clerk find the gun easier. - Picture ID (Driver's Licenses) - Secondary form of ID w/ address (Car registration, utility bill etc) - F.S.C. Card (if you do not have this, they will provide a test for you which will extend the processing time by at least 15-30 minutes. You'll need to take the test and someone needs to grade it.) 1. Sign in on the sign in sheet, and put down what you are here for. In my case, picking up a gun. If you haven't filled out any paperwork I'd put down paperwork to pick up gun or something to that effect to lessen confusion. In my case, I had to fill out paperwork, take the Firearms Safety Certification Test ($2 for a laminate copy). Then submit paperwork for a background check. This process varies (in my experience probably 1.5 hrs not including wait times). 2. The Firearms Safety Certification test is common sense (to me) and very straight-forward. Individual results may vary. 3. The background check is pretty standard but read through it carefully and make sure to fill out every line except M2 (the clerk will tell you too), it'll save them a lot of time and make the process smoother. 4. When signing papers, make sure to sign the right spot. This is the part where I messed up on and signed the "Sales" line instead of the "Transfer" line. I auto piloted at this point because I was super hungry and was still recovering from being sick. My bad! But please read before signing and ask (better to be annoying than to drag out the processing time). 5. They'll let you know when pick up the gun. Some advice: If you're picking up a gun and haven't filled out paperwork, slot at least 2 hours to do the paperwork process. Don't arrive 5 minutes before closing. They'll say 30 minutes but I think it's better to give them 1.5 hours to process. There's numerous factors: - Other customers - Paperwork processing - Murphy's law: What can go wrong will go wrong, better to be safe than sorry Overall, the store is clean, they have a number of guns in the store (I'm not really gun savvy yet). There were some missing items from the shelves but I think if you need basic things like magazines, sights, bags, containers, and gun cleaning supplies. They all should be fairly easy to find. The store is also under construction so expect loud noises like drilling and hammers. They have a bunch of different types of ammo behind the sales desk/counter. I know for sure they have 9MM since that was what I was looking to get. I'll update next week when I'm able to pick up the pistol about the pick up process. TLDR: Read the requirements of what to bring. Slot 2 hours for the paperwork process and wait times. Do not show up 5 minutes before closing (7PM). Sign the right boxes and of course read what you're signing. And sign up when you get there.
