I'm really happy I found this place. I recently needed a DROS done on a firearm being shipped in…read morefrom an online retailer. Had it sent to VC Armory. A lot of dealers these days arent keen on doing that these days. I called them, and they said no problem. They notified me less than an hour after I got the UPS notice that the package arrived at their location. I showed up just a short while later to start the process. Its a nice small shop in a quiet part of town. I really appreciated how chill the atmosphere was. I think it took all of 10 minutes to get the paperwork done, and off I went. 10 days wrapped, and I went for my pickup today. Again, the shop was super chill. Took less than 10 minutes to wrap everything up. Start to finish, the process was painless. Most gun shops are typically not places I'm super comfortable at. They tend to have semi aggressive staff, customers, or both. And they also tend to be very vocal about their political affiliations. VC Armory had none of those things. That alone is going to make them my go to LGS from here on out.

I see a lot of good reviews. And I understand why. My issue was a technicality in their wrong…read moreinterpretation of the law. Here is the real problem I have with them. They do not understand all gun laws and there for make their customer jump through more legal hoops than need be. I don't expect every customer to know the laws so they are unaware VC is slightly incompetent. I even pointed out their error but they just raised their voices and yelled at me. In California , when buying a rifle, it is NOT necessary to show two forms of ID. If you have a California True ID (Golden Bear in corner with no restrictions) that is all you need. They insisted I needed more. Here's the law: Only if you have restrictions or are purchasing a hand gun or it's a PO box address etc... is a secondary ID proving address required). But they are so arrogant and elitist blow-hards they wouldn't even turn the page on the form that they used as their proof showing me. I said on the first page it states NO secondary ID required for rifles. But he refused to even look at the 1st page and read where it clearly states the secondary ID rule is ONLY for hand gun sales. So lazy. So every single rifle purchaser that had a California DL True ID with no restrictions and their address correct on the iD was and is made to show a secondary ID. Completely unnecessary so I asked them to send my "receiver(rifle) to their competitor down the street who is up on the law. And they're cheaper too (and very friendly with no attitude. VC waste their customer's time making them jump through hoops needlessly and are very argumentative when you show them the law. Shame. By the way...I had lost my registration for my car and was in the process of renewing my registration so I didn't have it as secondary proof handy and I wasn't going to stand in line at the DMV just to get a copy when they would send me my new one a couple weeks later. Nope. I rather deal with the competent FFL guys down the street. My history: Gun collector of 50 years with over 350 purchases over a lifetime. I was an FFL myself and I am very familiar with the laws. Most gun buyers will assume their FFL knows the laws. Fact: Not all ffl's understand things they read and need it explained to them. We're all human. But when they get arrogant, loud and insistent by refusing to acknowledge they misread their own DOJ documents in front of them....that's just a ignorance and incompetence. These are guys I would think should not be doing their own Taxes let alone filling out gun transfers.

This has by far been my favorite outdoor range in the SoCal area. Everyone was so nice and helpful,…read moreand the RSO Tom even helped me zero in my red dot at 100 yards. There is a lot of wildlife here, so be very cautious of the deer and cows.

Finally made it out to this range which was formerly Wes Thompson's Rifle Range. The workers here…read morecould not be more friendly and accommodating. I explained it was our first time at this particular range and they explained everything and showed me the map before taking us all to the private range we had reserved. Make sure you go over the driving directions when you leave, as we had no mobile phone service once we got deep onto the dirt road. Follow the signs and you'll get there eventually. I wouldn't drive there with a lowered vehicle or fancy sports car as there is about 1.5 miles of dirt road you have to drive on that's a bit bumpy. Just drive slowly. I didn't check the selection of rentals they had on offer as I have my own toys, but I have heard it is better than most. We got a private range on a Wednesday and it was incredibly cheap ($100 for 2 people all day, $40 each additional person). They bring out steel targets for you to use and then leave you alone to have fun. You can draw from holsters, rapid fire, do drills, etc. No 1-shot per second nonsense, Their public rifle range has steel targets out to 1000 yards so you can see how good your skills really are. Lots of fun steel targets to shoot. You can finally stretch out your rifle and those high dollar optics. For the first time I wished my 6-24x scope had more magnification. I wish this range were closer but it was only about 1 hour from the Pasadena area which isn't too bad at all for 1000 yard steel. I believe it may be the only range in the los Angeles area that has steel out to 1000, as Angeles Shooting Range is maximum 600. I am definitely going to return to this place again soon!

I had a fantastic time at the shooting range! The exhilaration of firing the Lee-Enfield rifle was truly remarkable.

These guys are great…read more I'd been wanting to get back into shooting for a long time, but I'd keep procrastinating because it seemed like a lot to take on without some assistance. I started talking with Jim one day because I wanted to pick his brain about 1911s and ended-up booking a lesson. He was great at figuring-out quickly what I already knew and was comfortable with, and where I needed new instruction. At the range, he had me shoot a couple of different 1911 designs, as well as a couple of other firearms chambered in the same caliber, so I could get a feel for what I like. My heart was still set on a 1911, though I left thinking about a couple of potential future buys that wouldn't have occurred to me otherwise. After we finished at the range, he walked me through all the options I had at the shop and helped me pick out my first gun. Jim also introduced me to his partner Aidan, who was really great at helping me to get started stocking up on ammo to learn with as affordably as possible. I've already made another appointment for some follow-up instruction after I do a little practice to lock-in what he taught me. If I could afford to, I'd sign up to learn just about anything Jim or Aidan had to teach me. They've both been a great resource to help me get off the ground with shooting.

took a class with Jim today great instructor learned a lot, very interesting. made a great time…read moreout of a very dry state mendated lecture. easy to follow along and very clear instructions. came all the way from Van Nuys to Oxnard and defenetly dont regret it. if you need a class this is the go to instructor! highly recomend. definitely coming back to him for CCW and maybe some tactical courses! Thank you Jim!!

I had an amazing experience getting my CCW renewal for Ventura County with Dennis…read more They had the initial online training that you can complete at your leisure. The content was very informative and I was very grateful to be able to pause and return at my convenience. The day of test, you were given a location to meet in Moorpark. They would then come pick you and your peers up and take you to a private outdoor range. They insured we had shade, water, and bathroom access. The entire thing was very organized, and I learned more in this class than I have ever in any previous classes. This is a family owned company and my online training and in person training was probably the most thorough course I have ever gone through. Dennis was very professional and was a phenomenal instructor. I will definitely be back for my next renewals.
