I stopped in after trying to get some help from another gun store across the street. They were…read morerated #1 on yelp, however maybe rated #1 with their bar service. I was unable to get any assistance at the gun counter. After waiting sometime, I left. I was never acknowledged the entire time I was there in the early afternoon on a midweek day. I saw another gun store (Sierra Outdoor Outfitter) across the street and was immediately helped with my questions. The guy was knowledgable and helpful. I'd recommend Sierra Outdoor if you want quality service and a nice selection.

I purchased a firearm online and accessories and had the company ship to SOO for FLL purposes. When…read moreI went in to sign paperwork and claim the accessories, he refused to hand over the accessories and told me he would be sending them back to the original company. I had my credentials, Real ID, and paperwork in hand to prove I could own (and take home that day) those accessories. Brian the owner refused to work with me. I told him I purchased the items from another company who also used my credentials. He refused to hand over my bought items. After trying to work with Brian, I found it was better to have him ship my firearm and accessories to a valley FFL. He told me he would wait a few days to send it. He also told me the other FFL would refuse to hand over my bought products. I called that valley FFL and explained everything. They told me they would take care of me as long as I brought my credentials and would give me my purchased items. I called two other FFLs who also told me Brian was in the wrong and they would help me. I would not recommend this store. The owner is rude, would not hear me out, and would not take ownership of the misunderstanding. Don't send your firearms here for FFL purposes. I suggest going to the valley or through another FFL you know. I will no longer do business with SOO.

Was disappointed to discover that Shooters Warehouse charges an illegal amount for a Private Party…read moreTransfer. California limits the fee to no more than $10 above the DROS fees. The store is currently charging $50 in addition to DROS. Stores taking advantage of a state-mandated process that gun owners must comply with is a very sad policy. California Penal Code: 28055. (a) For a sale, loan, or transfer conducted pursuant to this chapter, the purchaser or transferee or person being loaned the firearm may be required by the dealer to pay a fee not to exceed ten dollars ($10) per firearm. (d) The dealer may not charge any additional fees.

Even as an avid firearm user, he found the course to be extremely informative and educational. The course provided a strong combination of classroom instruction and hands-on tactical training, allowing him to gain practical experience in addition to the lecture material. James and Ting kept the course engaging and shared valuable real-world experiences that helped build his confidence and expand his understanding of firearm safety, handling, and decision-making in various scenarios. He came away with a greater appreciation for responsible firearm ownership and felt the training offered valuable insights regardless of prior experience level.

On my first visit, I was greeted with a welcoming smile and good conversation as if I'd been coming there for years. I've made several purchases from this store and each went smoothly and at fair prices. Yes, prices on firearms, ammunition and knives are high, but very much in-line with other retailers. Even if something is slightly higher than at a big box store, I'd much rather give my business to The Rusty Knife and support a small business. Don't hesitate to visit. I'll be going here for many years to come.
