I was schedule for a cleaning. Got there and Sean looked at my weapons and said these don't really need cleaning. They're just dry. He oiled them up, fixed a pin on my safety and sent me on my way. They wouldn't accept even the smallest gratuity. They could have charged me hundreds of dollars for cleanings but instead provided a free service and a smile. Truly great Americans. This is how business is done. I'll only go to Sean or Ken for my gun smithing, cleaning, and mod needs. God bless yall.

First Time and Excellent Experience…read more This was our first time taking a firearm course, and we came as a group of four wanting to learn the basics and, most importantly, how to handle firearms safely and responsibly. From the moment we arrived, we felt that safety was the top priority. The setting was amazing, the location was great, and the entire experience was extremely well organized. Doug and Paula were fantastic instructors. They paid incredible attention to detail and were very patient throughout the entire course. They explained everything clearly, including proper handling, safety procedures, and how to keep everyone around us safe. They took the time to walk us through every step, answered all of our questions, and never made us feel rushed or uncomfortable asking for clarification. By the time we left, we felt much more knowledgeable and confident about the fundamentals of safe firearm handling. We couldn't have asked for a better experience for our first course. Doug and Paula were professional, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely focused on making sure everyone was safe. Highly recommend them to anyone looking to learn the fundamentals of firearm safety and responsible handling.

Hello Big 5 Sporting Goods - Studio City!…read more It's been a hot minute since I strolled in and found some fun finds, including a par of awesome combat boots in my size (13). Even though I was more on a browsing expedition with one item set in mind the Big 5 Sporting Good Crew of SC was super friendly, personable and very much supportive of one another as well as all customers in the store. It's a boutique style Big 5 - located on Ventura Place between Laurel Canyon Blvd and Radford Avenue, parallel to Venture Blvd. I don't pop in much as other locations speak to me a little better in terms of what I need or might be looking for. All locations could use a modern update or some tlc - it does feel a bit like a 90s time capsule... I did luck in a portable fan, double AA battery powered and perfect for a humid and/or super sunny day. Batteries are reasonable here as well. Good deals on sporting goods, beach gear, apparel, indoor and outdoor goods. I can't remember the last time I saw a Big 5 that carried firearms but this is one of the locations. Obviously they aren't loaded and it's all about safety first, but it caught me off guard with so many families and kids in the store. They carry a huge variety of everything from tents and canopies to baseball gear and softball equipment. Swimwear, camping things and even have in-store as well as online sales, deals and coupons. Street and private lot parking with access through the alley, making it easy during Sundays with the Farmers Market direct in front along the street. Hours vary through the week, but service and selection is always consistent.

He recommended a few revolvers to me in which I would have never touched otherwise. There's quite a large selection of guns with very reasonable prices.

Definitely will be back.

This place is like a Guns Toys R Us…read more Gun World is huge. Parking isn't always guaranteed, but I usually find a spot. I guess it could be more difficult for them to really give you the kind of personal attention you might get at a smaller shop, but on Sunday 4/12/26 I was standing around looking for gun lights or help with the lights, and boom--Alan noticed me (before I even saw him). He asked if I needed any help and I asked him about lights. Alan did great. I felt like all my questions were respectfully answered, and Alan was even validating by making me feel like my logic for choosing the light I chose made sense. "Lumens Vs. Candela". I appreciated that. This place is popular, so it might feel overwhelming with the size, number of products, customers and reps--but I found their selection to be impressive and Alan's customer service to be FIVE STARS.

We had a blast over the weekend at the range with Paula and her awesome team…read more I mean Paula has a level of skill that I aim to have one day. Despite the intense heat we had fun and no one got sunburned. They had shade, cold water available, parking is very close so you can go sit down in your car and turn on the AC if you need to. All equipment is available to you if you need it. I brought my friend who has never even seen a gun in person. Paula and her team were so professional, she even got a one on one first. They took their time to be with her and help her. She left very capable of managing an arm if she ever needs to. She had a blast and it was another level of empowerment for her. My other friend is a great shooter. He decided to still take the safety course because we always learn something new. He had a blast too and enjoyed the experience. We will definitely be coming back because I need more practice and we all know that here in California it's difficult for me as a female to get into the range. I recommend this club and would suggest that you try checking it out at least once.

But by the end of the class, I felt very confident in shooting and handling my gun. Dave was my instructor and he was awesome! We also received some great knowledge from instructor Gene : ) I chose this class because I knew I wanted to get premium service. The class was small so there was a lot of personal attention. I did not only want to check the boxes for CCW requirements but also wanted to get some real-world training. I will definitely go back to Cobra Tactical for additional classes and to renew my CCW.
