Love this place! Great staff, every one of them. Friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and nice…read more Just plain, really nice people! They know their "stuff" and we recommend them to well, everyone we know who has 2A needs! They have never let us down. Oh, and ask about their dogs! Beautiful, beautiful creatures! I'll tag along with hubby if he goes even I don't have to, just to pet the pups! Thanks, CT!

I took my first CCW class with Cobra Tactical. It had been years since I last shot a handgun so I…read moreconsidered myself a beginner. 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.

My review is about ALL the branches in California not one specific store and trust me if a good…read moredeal is offered on consignment I will drive. As with any retailer some locations are better than others but apparently corporate is stupid! I have purchased from Bakersfield South. I am a Retired Police Officer. LEOSA, HR 218, California CCW. There are certain things I am exempt from with the main one being California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 36021, active and retired peace officers are legally exempt from California's 11% firearm and ammunition excise tax. 36021(a) explicitly exempts retail sales of firearms, firearm precursor parts, and ammunition made to any active or retired peace officer. They just have to complete a form. I have gone into three locations only to argue with Managers and forcibly take my documents back. Could it get more fun? YOU BET IT CAN! Sales tax is NOT Standard in California depending on the City involved. (Pasadena 10.5, Reseda 9.75, Bakersfield 8.25) Not huge UNLESS you are charged the California Excise tax as well. Add 11% a $1000 firearm can set you back $1300 before you get out the door. Add Ammunition, ANOTHER 11% its per sale and separate items per California. If still with me, You Rock. Ruger stopped making a firearm I wanted!! Once the old, new factory was back on line there it was BUT not California compliant. (Ruger does not make State Compliant Firearms. They SHIP with compliant magazines but sillyness like fin grips is up to the reseller or their third party to furnish) Big whoop. On sale, Californication compliant, stupid fin grip but it may be two more years to come back. "ADD TO CART" Oh gee, excise tax is automatic so I called On Line sales support. TIM ROCKS!!!! The guy had no idea about any of what I have mentioned like most of their employees. (Excise tax, different sales tax rates in the same State and COUNTY.) The excise tax is $100 and may take months to be refunded because the purchase went through corporate not a branch. Turners needs better District Managers that know more than how to pull a trigger or sell something G Day All

If I could rate this place ZERO stars I would. You guys fucking suck. I waited 30 minutes trying to…read moreshop for a handgun with only one other person in the store the whole time and I didn't even get asked a question. Originally I thought that there was only one person on that server, so I was patiently waiting my turn until some guy walked in and the employee yelled his name and they dab each other up and he asked him what gun he wanted. Extremely unprofessional I will actually never go back there. You guys fucking suck. Way to lose a high paying customer I was interested in the desert eagle.

This is a solid store. They pretty much have everything you need…read more The employees are friendly for the most part, though it can be a little hit or miss depending on the day. Some people can come off a bit grouchy, but overall they're helpful and knowledgeable about the gear and things related to the field, which I appreciate. I'd recommend coming here if you need anything. Also, definitely sign up for their rewards system.. you can get some discounts and money off when it adds up.

They carry decent equipment but most employees don't know much about the product. Alterations…read moreemployee is good. Ordered a uniform online and was told it would be shipped in 7-10 days.

Long story short... I placed an order for a MOD H AR Rifle and paid half up front. They told me the…read morewait time for it to arrive was 4-6 weeks. 9Months go by and they don't even bother checking in nor pick up the phone when I call. I ended canceling my order once I was told "you'll get it when you get it" . Then I asked when can I pick up my deposit that I had left... they said at the end of the month I can go pick up a check. Well it's been over a month and they don't pick up the phone at all. I would never do business with this place ever again. I just called 12 times before posting this review and no one answers

Because of the negative reviews posted, I initially passed on using Adam for his services. I…read morefinally decided to give him a chance because of the close proximity to my house and I am extremely glad I did. I had work done on 2 handguns (take down lever installed and cleaning) and 1 shotgun (installed forearm and stock). On each service occasion work was completed the same day with 100% satisfaction. Miscellaneous things to be aware of... 1. Adam and his team can be a little bit rough around the edges with little to no personality. Just let it go. 2. Adam is an armory encyclopedia and talking service manual. He will go on and on about the work he completed and hurdles that he overcame (just proud of his work). 3. Please know that firearm modifications are generally not as easy as they look on YouTube. Often times things don't fit exactly (Dremal work may be required or a special expert techniques engaged). Adam often receives work that a do-it-yourselfer messed up. 4. The price he quotes you may not be the final price as that depends fully on the amount of time and effort it takes to tackle a project. For instance, I had a Magpul installed on a Mossberg 590 and the stock would not line up with the trigger body. It required extra work taking material off the Magpul stock and the trigger body receiver to eliminate a sharp ledge on the Mossberg. He provided me with photos that illustrated the problems and described the resolve. The extra $20 charge was well worth it. Bottom line, I really appreciate Adam's knowledge, candor, and work quality. I will continue to use his services and you may want to give him a try too. Rick

Went into this gun shop with a few pretty simple questions. These dudes somehow managed to be so…read morecondescending that I wasn't sure if I walked into a gun store or a courtroom. Every question I asked was met with a straight face and basically one answer: "ILLEGAL!!!" No explanation, no discussion--just ILLEGAL like they were waiting for the SWAT team to come through the ceiling. What made it even better is that I called Turner's and a few other reputable gun stores afterward, asked the exact same questions, and was told what I was asking about was legal and California-compliant. So not only were they rude but they didn't even know the current laws And yes, I heard the famous line: "YOU SEE HIM RIGHT THUR, I'VE HAD THIS STORE SINCE HE WAS 1!" Congratulations, Pops. That's a long time to own a store. Now maybe spend a little time learning how to speak to customers without making them feel stupid for asking questions. I don't expect every employee to agree with me, especially when it comes to California gun laws, but I do expect basic respect and an actual explanation instead of being yelled at like I just asked if I could mount a tank cannon to my car. Every gun shop that I've been going to have been so helpful and welcoming not sure what going on with these unpleasant guys. Calm down yall aren't brain surgeons. Customer service goes a long way

My instructor recommended this shop when my gun wouldn't return to battery. The gun is brand new…read moreand I read that this is a common issue with my model for a variety of reasons. Brought my gun into mike who spent about 10 mins inspecting it. He sent me home with with everything all lubed up and I can't wait to get back to the range. while waiting I took a moment to browse their selection. They have a good variety and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Glad to know a good shop if I ever need any repairs or to purchase another piece.

Um. Nope. Not ever again…read more Over a week ago I got a quote for adding 2 sets of night sights to 2 sliders. Twice by email, responding to my checking the time, they confirmed between 12 and 1 was good to drop off and have the work done while I went to grab a coffee, thus saving me 2 hours, plus riding in the blazing heat, and at least $25 in gas. True to my word, I got there yesterday at 12:30. Surprise surprise. The gun smith was no where to be found. I was told they had no idea when he'd return. They mumbled something about a funeral. LOL. Right. A few sentences later he mumbled a new excuse "an emergency". One would think a funeral happens long enough after the deceased dropped dead that they'd have/had time to plan their time off and make necessary concessions. At that point I should have listened to my gut and just canceled the project but instead I left the sliders and sights there to be installed whenever. I was home all of 20 minutes and got the call they were done. I guess the funeral let out early. Hahaha (no disrespect to "the dead" :) Adding salt to the situation once home I took a moment to watch the manufacturer's video on installation. Admittedly something I should have done in the first place. My bad. Bottom line. If one was ret@rded and worked reeeeaaaallly slow, using no special tools they could get both sights installed in 10 minutes. 1 screw for each front. The backs merely slide in sideways with a couple light taps. So I'm out $100, 5 hours of my time back and forth, over $30. in gas for what amount to 10 minutes of work. Oh and a boat load of "sorrys", can't forget those. Sorry is just a word. Price gouging, highly inflated cost aside... Any reputable business screws up that bad, they'd offer some meaningful gesture of value to compensate for the loss one took coming to them. Not a peep. Not a "Gee we screwed up we'll discount you a dollar." I did get a "have a nice day" out the door tho. Shame. They have a great selection of guns. One I was strongly considering but guess who isn't getting a penny more much less any of the budget for some higher end long range rifles. Whatever ever happened to gun owner's common code of decency, honesty, stand up, fair pricing? It's given away to gouging, greed, unaccountability and bad business ethics. They don't even lie well. Or is this just an Armenian thing?

Rarely will you go to a business that has true integrity. Arli Arms is one of these businesses…read more Sean and Ken greeted me at the door. Nice, chill, totally down to help out their customers. 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.
