My experience at Greta's Guns, 4228 E Los Angeles Ave, Simi Valley, CA 93063, raises serious…read moreconcerns about their compliance with federal and state firearm regulations. I was purchasing a Kriss Vector 10mm, yet the store released my firearm to another individual who was there to pick up a Kriss Vector .45 ACP. They failed to verify the serial number before transfer which is a fundamental requirement under federal law for proper firearm disposition. This is not a clerical error. It is a breakdown in mandatory record‑keeping and transfer procedures, the very safeguards designed to prevent misidentification, theft, and unlawful possession. Confusing two serialized firearms of different calibers underscores a serious lapse in inventory control. Any FFL that mishandles serialized inventory in this way is demonstrating a dangerous disregard for regulatory obligations. I strongly advise others to consider the legal risks before doing business here.

I honestly wish I could give more than five stars. This establishment went above and beyond in…read moreevery possible way. I came in with a very sensitive and stressful situation involving a firearm that was under my brother's name who had passed away, and I was overwhelmed trying to figure out the process. Armen was absolutely incredible. From the moment he helped me, he made what could have been a complicated and emotional situation completely stress free. He guided me through transferring the firearm into my name with no issues at all, explained everything clearly, and made the entire process smooth and easy from start to finish. I had reached out to other places before coming here, and not one of them came close to the level of care, professionalism, and genuine support Armen provided. The outcome was fantastic, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would 100 percent recommend Armen and this shop to friends and family. You truly won't find this level of service anywhere else. Thank you again for making such a difficult moment so much easier.

Just because if that I was in the store the next week to purchase my first firearm. Immediately upon entering the store they greeted me, and treated me with respect despite how I look with my tattoos. When going to Grettas I'm the past, they seem to judge the book by the cover. This is not fair and I didn't appreciate being tested like a criminal because of my tattoos. The men at Fort Courage passed no judgments and helped me keep my first firearm that I can't wait to pick up as soon as possible. Thank you guys for the excellent customer service and care.

TLDR: Stan (the owner) is an uneducated, hard-headed, lazy, paranoid old man. Take your business…read moreelsewhere if you value your time. First, there are his working hours. I've pulled up multiple times at 4:30PM, 30 minutes before closing DURING business days, and the store will already be closed up. No explanation, nothing. On TOP of already being open only 4 days per week, sometimes Stan will just take 2 more days off unannounced. You will just show up at his storefront only to be greeted with a sign that says, "taking Thurs and Fri off, see you next Tues." Also, I visited once to pick up ammunition and Stan is at the counter doing paperwork on his laptop and informs me I will have to wait for him to finish. I politely answered that's fine. Then proceeded to wait 20 minutes doing nothing before he "finishes" his paperwork and helps me. There was NO other person working at the store. Based on my experience, Stan clearly does not value your time, only his own. He may have lower fees but it is NOT worth your time. If you DO plan on visiting for God knows what reason, call ahead. But you're much better off taking your business elsewhere, plenty of good FFLs in the area (greta's, smokin b, etc) Third thing, Stan does NOT understand current California Gun Laws. His mentality is simply "My Shop, My Rules." You cannot reason with him, if you print out CA penal codes he will just throw it in the bin. He is not one of those pro 2A shops that wishes to empower his community. He is a paranoid conservative owner who only cares about himself. And if he THINKS you will harm him or his business in any way even if what you're doing is completely legal, he will just yell at you. He simply does not care. Despite holding an FFL07 license to manufacture, the owner panicked over a completely legal Glock upper assembly. It does not matter if its a gen 3 or gen 6, whether the slide or barrel is serialized or not, they are BOTH NOT FRAMES OR RECEIVERS in the eyes of the CA DOJ. I urge you Stan to read up on CA DOJ Penal Codes. He even went so far as to say this transfer will "put him in jail." Stan has no problem transfering a gen 3 upper. But if it is gen 6 upper, he will freak out saying that it must be DROS'd as a complete firearm, even though the gen 3 he transfered was NOT registered as a firearm. He seems to believe ANYTHING that is serialized is a receiver or frame which is very far from the truth. First off, a handgun part cannot EVER be classified as a receiver, that is reserved for LONG GUNS. Handgun parts can be classified as a frame. And secondly, a handgun upper assembly is NOT classified as a frame because it does not house a trigger mechanism or sear. LOOK IT UP in CFR handbook. He is just a paranoid old man who only cares about himself. And he will accuse you of trying to ruin his shop based on nothing but his own paranoia. Mind you these experiences all took place within about a month. It doesn't take long for Stan to show his true colors. This is my final warning, stay away from this shop. I don't know what it was like before but I can tell you what it is like right now, and it is not a friendly 2A shop. The owner is a lazy and selfish paranoid old man, who you do NOT want to deal with.
