Rona S.

We were driving around and I thought "hey, maybe we should re-kindle with old hobbies. Is there any gun shops around?". I wanted to clean some of my boyfriend's guns but he didn't have any supplies so we went here. The place isn't hard to find, we just got confused and tried entering in front when the entrance was at the back. We opened the door and I was welcomed with the familiar scent of carbon and brass. Brings back memories. They have a huge selection of ammo, accessories, guns, etc. I asked one of the staff to help me pick some cleaning supplies and he was very helpful. We left that place satisfied. Glad to know there's a friendly armory close by to talk about similar interests. Highly recommend!

Not the best service for private party transfer as they don't do they past 12 or on Saturday's at all. Also service wasn't the greatest.

Truly one of the best gun stores in the entire Bay Area. Extremely knowledgeable, approachable,…read morefriendly, and experienced staff who will help you. If you are brand new to the firearm world there is probably not a better place to start than this shop. If you are just looking to buy just go in there let them know or ask their opinions and in my experience they will help you get what you want if its within their ability to do so. If your looking for more they can easily direct you to staff who offer group and private lessons who can take a novice shooter and make you better in a couple hours and are very supportive throughout the process. I really hope that Manzano keeps going and can set the standard for all other shops to strive for.

Absolutely top-tier FFL shop. From the second you walk in, you're treated like family. Warm,…read morewelcoming, and genuinely happy to help. The staff behind the counter are incredibly knowledgeable and more importantly, they're actual shooters with real experience. You can tell right away these guys live the lifestyle and know their gear inside and out, not just random internet keyboard warriors pretending to know what they're talking about. They take the time to answer questions, give honest advice, and make sure you leave confident in your purchase. No pressure, no ego, just solid people who care about their customers and the shooting community. Rare to find a shop with this level of professionalism and authenticity these days. Easily one of the best FFL experiences I've had. Highly recommend supporting this place. I've been coming back since they opened and the service has stayed consistent
