This place is amazing!!! Great customer service, shipping times are on point, and they get back to you with answers quickly! They have always taken care of me from my slide cuts to mounting my sight. Everything has been greats. Highly recommend. Great selection for slides and sights. The value of the products are amazing. Whether it's sending in your slide to get milled or buying one already made you're guaranteed a high quality product. Price is pretty even across the board. read more

I attended a prerunner truck meet at DWS back in 2024 and thought the shop was impressive. Their Instagram page showcased what appeared to be incredible work, which is why I felt confident recommending them to a coworker. Unfortunately, that recommendation turned into a major regret. My coworker dropped off his firearm in October 2024, paid money up front, and since then has received nothing but excuse after excuse with no real answers about status or completion. Despite remaining extremely patient and understanding throughout the process, he has still been unable to get any meaningful communication. At one point, he even offered to completely walk away from the work and simply have his equipment returned, but that has not happened either. I'm writing this because I genuinely feel terrible for recommending this business in the first place. I personally am not financially affected, but my coworker is, and judging by the other reviews, he is clearly not alone in this experience. If this business is no longer operating properly, the right thing to do would be to be honest with customers, release a public apology, return people's property, and move forward. Accountability and communication would go a long way at this point. read more

Takes forever what to get a finished product for what should take a week as performed by other professional gunsmiths. When I say forever, I mean the better part of a year for something that should have taken a week. Communication with the owner is sporadic at best. Can't help but think that he has everybody's best interests at heart, but actions speak louder than words. Subsequent gunsmiths wondered why things were done the way that they were done. The parts work, just not ideal. read more

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS! I should have listened to all the bad reviews he gets. I hope you do the same. Shady place. I paid for an optic cut same day service, dropped off on Tuesday afternoon, called Wednesday when to pick up my slide, he said 6:00pm, when they close. then told me to pick it up Thursday at 3:00 I had to work so I went on Friday at 12:00 when I got there it was not done, and was told,He "had an oven issue". I waited there another hour so he could actually do the work. Walked away with an offset optic cut. Not even centered. Now I can't co-sight with the optic rear sight. Look at the pics. read more

Purchased a red dot and slide cut November 2024. Received slide back only because a friend who was down that way forced him to give it back. Pedro stated within the week I should have my optic shipped to my door within the week and it has been 6 months. Have texts going back and forth with Pedro with no responses for months. At this point it's not even getting the work done it's as simple as sending me an optic that was ordered and expected to arrive within "days". The excuses are crazy and turned into no communication at all. Do not use Pedro for anything. Whether it is in-house or ordering for you. You will be screwed over as I have been. $400+ in the hole because of the owner Pedro read more

I should've read the reviews and listened. I didn't. I first brought Dynamic Weapon Solutions a Glock. It took a very long time, but to be fair, the work came out good. That should've been the end of it. Instead, I brought him two HKs. Pedro, the owner, told me "quality takes time" and "if you pay ahead, I'll get it done quicker." My mistake was believing that and paying up front to help him out. What followed was two years of excuses. Not exaggerating. Two full years. I went in 11 separate times, and every single visit was either faulty work, more delays, or another excuse why nothing was done. At the end of it, he finally met me and returned my guns. They were damaged and missing the sights I had already paid for. His final excuse? He said he was out of money and shutting down. Save yourself the time, money, and frustration. Read the reviews and believe them. I didn't. read more

The worst experience I've ever had with a store. I find it impossible to believe that completing the job took almost 40 weeks, when from the beginning Pedro assured me it would be ready in 8 weeks, 10 at the most. During the entire time, I had to constantly ask for Updates (because 10 weeks had passed), which made the the wait extremely frustrating. Every time I called or visited the store in person, Pedro always had a new excuse: that his machine broke down or that his only worker quit or that he had to stop working for the day because his daughter got into a fight with another kid, among many other excuses. It was one excuse after another one with no responsibility or professionalism. In summary, the customer service is terrible, the process was endless (even though it's not done), and on top of that very expensive considering all the inconveniences and lack of seriousness. Honestly I don't even understand how this business is still running, I would not recommend it under any circumstances. By the way (knowing that after this review I will not get my money refunded) I'm still trying to get 100 dollars refunded because this business failed to complete an order and I'm now trying to get my refund for over a month and we started with the excuses again...... read more

Never got my slide back nor a refund. Pedro stole about over $1k with my slide included.

This company is a joke and they will scam you! Sent in my slide on Jan of 2025 and didn't get it back til Feb. 2026. Yes over a year later. Paid up front for the slide wk, painted OD green and green dot optics. Got my slide back still blk with no optics. Now it's June of 2026 and still haven't gotten my optics nor a refund. This guy is a thief and will lie to you. I got all the emails to prove it! Send me my refund Dynamic Weapon Solutions read more

Update: 01/08/2026 ORDER #14138 This company is running a deliberate and deceptive operation. After contacting Pedro regarding the fact that USPS still had not received my slide for shipment, he provided excuse after excuse, including the absurd claim that USPS "loses packages" or "sends them elsewhere." A package does not magically go "elsewhere" when the correct address is on the label--unless it was never addressed correctly to begin with. The shipping label was created on 12/02, yet the package showed no real movement for weeks. On 12/27, tracking suddenly updated showing the package in Coppell, Texas. I am located in Northern California. That alone was a massive red flag. On 12/31 it showed Oakland, CA, and on 01/02 it arrived at my local USPS facility. Here is where the truth came out. Although Pedro previously sent me a label showing my address, the package was marked as delivered to a completely different address in my neighborhood. I immediately contacted USPS. They pulled the scanned package and confirmed that the label physically attached to the box was NOT my address. It was an entirely different address. USPS was very clear: the package was delivered to the address printed on the label, and they could not retrieve it. USPS explicitly stated that the shipper--Pedro--had shipped the package to the wrong address. This was not a USPS mistake. When confronted, Pedro's response was simply, "That blows." He refused to provide the address my property was shipped to and continued to claim he "packaged the slide himself," while simultaneously denying responsibility. He insisted it was shipped to my address, despite USPS confirming that was categorically false. At this point, the pattern is undeniable. This was not an accident. This was either gross negligence or intentional misdirection. Either way, my property is gone. If you still think this is a one-off incident, check out their rating on the Better Business Bureau: Dynamic Weapon Solutions is NOT accredited by the BBB and has a very poor complaint history, with dozens of unresolved complaints from customers who never got their products back or received timely service. See their BBB profile here: https://www.bbb.org/us/ca/huntington-beach/profile/gun-dealers/dynamic-weapon-solutions-1126-172019066 Dynamic Weapon Solutions operates by stalling customers, shifting blame, and providing excuse after excuse until your property disappears. If you send your slide to this company, you are taking a serious risk that you will never see it again. Do yourself a favor and take your business elsewhere. read more

I actually purchased a slide for a gen 3, I have a gen 5. Pedro the owner (sorry if I remember the name wrong) was super cool about it, exchange it for me and since I had my Glock with me, he put it on for me, lubed it up no charge. He asked if I had my red dot with me and offered to put it on as well. Super friendly and helpful. It's not Amazon so don't expect to get something in two days.. But know you're getting a quality product and an helpful, friendly owner that stands behind it. read more

AVOID DWS. The next time you decide to call Pedro for an update, you may be better off calling Officer Christy at the Huntington Beach Police Department at (714) 960-8811. Officer Christy would be interested in hearing about your experience and how much money or property Pedro has taken from you. If you're reading this review, there's a good chance you're looking for answers about your own delayed order. If you believe you've been wronged, consider your legal options. For less than $100, you can file a small claims case, and Zoom hearings may be available if you live far away. Don't let your concerns go unaddressed. https://courts.ca.gov/ Pedro Gonzalez is a fraud, scammer, and thief. He will make every excuse possible to delay your order long enough that you can no longer dispute the transaction. I paid him nearly $2,000 almost two years ago, and my order is still not complete. It took approximately 18 months to get four slides back, despite being promised an 8-16 week turnaround. He still has parts from two of my slides. I have called him multiple times per week trying to get them returned. Every week, I hear the same excuses: "I just shipped it," "I'm on my way to USPS," and similar stories. Pedro also asked me to send in my Holosun 509T so he could mount it. I had a feeling I would never see it again, and unfortunately, that is exactly what happened. I never got it back. He later claimed he had to order me a new one for some reason, even though I had already sent him a brand-new Holosun to install. My experience has been extremely disappointing, and I would strongly avoid DWS. read more

A lot of people leaving reviews clearly are used to be Amazon consumers. There is fast, quality, and cheap. Pick 2 and get over it. The DWS team does a lot for alot of different communities. For them to go above and beyond on quality of product is more than expectations. If you need something done immediately, look at big distributors and websites for new slides and barrels and grips or whatever, but if you want something that you can trust to run over and over and over with precision and detail, DWS is where it is at. The DWS team will take care of you if problems occur. They stand behind THEIR products and services. read more

Where to start. I had the same lead time issues that everyone else had but on top of that they milled too much material off the top of my slide and compromised my drop safety on my XD so I had been using a pistol without a drop safety for who knows how long. On top of that my gunsmith told me the cut was crooked AND because they made the cut without leaving slide material to support the rear of my optic, so it was at risk for shearing the screws and flying off. Absolutely criminally negligent and on top of that they treat their customers like trash unless you sing their praises. Edit: To answer the comment below 1. My gunsmith has a complete understanding of this and showed me how milling into the drop safety can and will cause it to malfunction. 2. I actually never requested my front sight to be recut I'm not sure what he's referring to? Also my gun isn't in multicam so I think he has the wrong order. 3. I left it at the front door at 1035am july 17th according to my call logs when they were open. It's irrelevant though since they confirmed they received it? 4. Of course it has an optic on there, you installed it yourself in 2022. read more

EDIT: November 4, 2025 Haven't received my slide back. It has been nine months for an optics cut. I went to the store location a few days back to get my slide back, after being told everything was done they were just waiting for my optic. Sure. The store was closed two hours before their listed time and no one answered the phone until around an hour after. I let them know that I wanted my slide back regardless of the state it was in and was told no "they don't do that." They stated they would be liable if they gave me my gun and I couldn't reassemble it. Insanity. The person on the phone requested to call me back after he "officially" closed the store at 6pm to have a "conversation" about what we are going to do about my slide. That I could "potentially" pick it up the next day. I told him to just text me the details as I had things to do and I wasn't sure why we needed to have a "conversation" for him to give me back my slide. I have heard nothing back for six days. Right after the call I contacted the Huntington Beach PD and they got me in contact with the LA field division of the ATF. I let them know I had requested my slide back but DWS was refusing to give it back. Both groups let me know they will contact me back after they look into it. I highly recommend if you are currently waiting for your slide and Pedro is refusing to send your property back to contact the Huntington Beach PD's non-emergency number. 714-960-8811 Hopefully they can help you out. Next step is small claims if my slide isn't returned to me. What a complete waste of time. read more

Order #14538. I have been waiting on a slide for my Glock for 10 months and I keep getting the run around. The owner said the first slide was cut wrong and they had recut another one and now I'm not getting any response from them. I've since read some reviews on Reddit and should've done more research on this company before doing business with them. Highly recommend not using them. Emails, phone calls all being ignored now. read more

That Pedro guy is the most unprofessional and habitual liar I've ever met. He didn't send me back my Glock 19 slide for over a year after I kept bugging him about it. When he finally sent it back, it was all messed up. He stole my striker, backplate, extractor, and safety plunger. He also didn't send me the $400 optic I ordered and messed up the cut for my optic. He's a total joke. He's a two-faced liar. I work in the industry and know most of the companies in this gun world. That guy is known for being a snake, and I should have done my homework and been more careful. Do not go to this guy under any circumstances. read more

1 star is too many. This is the worst experience I have ever had with a retailer or service provider. They have had my slide for over 15 months (December 2024) and show no signs of completing the work or providing the merchandise that I have already paid for (as of April 2026). Pedro lies to me every time we talk. His deceptions are incredible! Two weeks ago, he told me that he would send my slide back to me and that it was ready. He then provided a USPS tracking number. The tracking number still shows as pre-shipping two weeks later. He now refuses to answer my calls or to respond to my texts. I offered to stop by the shop and pick it up to save him shipping costs as I was in OC last week. He did not respond. I would advise everyone to steer clear of DWS! It is a serious nightmare with no end in sight. I am presently looking into possible legal action. Save yourself the trouble and stay away! read more

DON'T TAKE ANYTHING TO THIS SHOP terrible service I ordered my parts 12/21/24 was a custom slide and barrel for my p320 and still to this day haven't got my parts back and I am not the only one either. Always excuses on why the parts aren't done. Then when they are "done" something comes up. Found Pedro through the off-road raptor scene and seen a lot of people take him parts to get done. From what I have seen and heard from people I know your parts aren't getting done unless you are trading work. If you have nothing to trade him for work that benefits him and his truck you aren't getting your parts done anytime soon. Dude is hard to get ahold of weather that's through his shop number and instagram that he is always posting on. As well as his personal number. Supposed to get my parts on an upcoming off-road event coming up we'll see if he brings the parts like he said he would. Talk to any other shop this work that I am getting from Pedro SHOULD NOT TAKE THIS LONG AT ALL. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. If I could give 0 stars I would!!! read more

Don't be fooled by the overall 4-star rating for this business. I can attest from personal experience that all the negative one-star reviews posted about this business are accurate. You're making a foolish decision if you still decide to give them your business and hand over money after all the 1-star posts about significant delays (some over two years), the product or services you already paid for not being delivered, and the constant lies about why. But I do have to admit I am very impressed by how Pedro, the owner of the business, keeps track of all the lies he tells all the different customers. His deception skills are very, very impressive. It had me on the hook for about four weeks until I came to my senses. But if you do decide to do business with him, do it with a credit card. He does not give refunds, and disputing the charge with your credit card company will be your only recourse. If you pay for the product or service on your slide up front with cash, YOU WILL NEVER SEE YOUR SLIDE, PRODUCT, OR MONEY. NEVER. Well, you may see you slide again, but it won't be for a very long time. What I can't understand is how Pedro and DWS stays in business and have not been shut down for defrauding their customers. After all, taking your money and failing to deliver the promised goods is theft. read more

Lying liars and the lies they tell. sent in a slide for optic cut in August 2025. Have yet to receive it back and it's now April 30th 2026. Multiple emails throughout the duration stating it's in cerakoting, or in final assembly, or whatever. I even got a shipment tracking number but that was also more than a month ago. I can't comment on the workmanship simply because I'm pretty sure they haven't done anything with it. I will never recommend DWS to anyone for any reason. Reviewers saying quality takes time, blah blah blah... here are 5 things that take less time than DWS... #5 - Artemis II's trip around the moon. #4 - filing your federal taxes and getting you refund back. #3 - Approval time for ANY ATF form submission #2 - Completely decimating a foreign country defenses #1 - Conceiving and giving birth to a human child. read more

Replying to this! "Hey Richard, you got everything you paid for good sir. An x with custom windows and porting and we explained long about it wouldn't be simple and it would take longer then expected as you wanted custom work. You didn't want our standard hk cuts and design." - I got everything I paid for? Again, I took one of my slide back where no work was done, after being told different excuses every time. Longer than expected? You said 12-15 weeks, you were given 28 weeks, after all the lies and excuses you kept giving, there's no more credibility. unfortunately custom things take custom time along with us mid move and for unseen reason the shop taking longer to get back to fully operational. I was specifically transparent about this and again you ran out of patience. - You had moved already and was settled in when I went to your new shop. Not sure why clients and people can't understand that. They want it now, we tell them it's custom and will take time and they just don't hear it. You knew we moved and it would cause delays. Nothing you got was simple or done poorly. Your inability to allow us to work without trying to micromanage along the way again for a COMPLETELY CUSTOM ORDER. - When you took the order, you said 15 weeks, I called on the 20th week, it's your inability to keep with the deadline, I have been patient enough until the 28th weeks of waiting with empty promises. What's So hard about letting shops work, you're not the only client and your items, need programming, custom fixtures, prep sanding tumbling, cleaning, coating and assembly. Nothing about your slides was easy especially the attitude along the way. - I did let you work on my items. You said 15 weeks, I gave you 28 weeks, if I had not been pressing, who knows if it will ever get done and how much longer it is going to take. The attitude is because of you feeding lies and excuses. It's unnecessary honestly. Drop something off and let the place take their time and produce quality and amazing work. If you can't deal with that we don't want you as a client when it comes to custom work. I'm happy to finish it anytime as you know I saw how happy you were when you picked up the first one. Patience is a thing and it's worth that wait. - How much time do you need? The fact that you keep giving different excuses every time. -Order was placed on 5/27/25. -8/18/25 - you called and left a voicemail the slides where done, both slide cut and ported and just needed to get cerakoted. -End September, I came to your shop, to pick up my slide, it was not done, I asked to see my slide, you showed me the slide and was not even touched. You said it'll be ready the following week. -October came, went to your shop, the slides were not done but you said it has already been cut. I requested to see my slide if actual work was done but you denied me to see my slide. So, I asked for you to just take a picture of the slide, you were still refusing to take picture which will take no more than a minute of your time, real shady. But I will not leave your shop til I see my slide or a picture. You went to the back and have to come up with an excuse. So you pretended to have taken a picture of my hk slide, and showed me a picture of a different slide that has serrations and have already been cut. I had no choice but to be lied to again. You said it'll be ready sometime next week. -November came, I came to your shop, ready to pick up my slide whether they are done or not. And guess what still not done. I told you that day that I just want to pick up my slide, but you cut me a deal that you'll have the slide ready by Monday or you'll give me a full refund. I came back that following Wednesday, only one slide is ready, when you said both will be ready. -December came, I came back to pick up the hk slide which should have been done. At this point I just want to pick up my slide and be done dealing with this guy. He said he could not give my slide because he has to put it back together, when in fact his worker literally said the slide has no been done or touched, but Pedro kept insisting that it is done and he just needed to put it together. I came back the following week to pick up the slide, and guess what, another lame excuse, the slide was not done, and what ever happened to the picture you showed me, which was a complete utter lie! You even scratch the sights on my vp9sk to have pretended you had to put it back together when in fact, the slide was really never been touched! At this point, I am just glad I got both of my slide back. "If you can't deal with that we don't want you as a client when it comes to custom work." -I would never ever would want to be your client again! No thank you, you can keep your business to your self! :/ read more

Update for the Yelp folks... DWS still hasn't completed my order a month after they said my order would "easily ship within a week". I tried reaching out and left them messages and they continue to not be responsive. I understand they hang their hat on "quality work" but how can you appreciate the work they do when they haven't completed the job? I'll update my review when my order is received. read more

Paid a year and a half ago and still have not received anything. Communication payment processing is the worst I've ever seen.

So, I hate to be here again writing another bad update on this initial review. Pedro contacted me regarding my order after my initial review and offered to expedite the order, upgrade the cerakote, and to throw in some suppressor height sights for the inconvenience. Its now November 14th and I have yet to receive an actual update from Pedro for the past month though I have sent him several text messages requesting an update. Last update I received from him was that the slide is in prep for Cerakote on September 23rd. Silence since. So I guess his motivation to expedite the order and make amends for the lack of work being done was bullshit. We are now approaching 1 year and 6 months of what should have been a simple slide cut and Cerakote. At this point I just want my money back for the order along with compensation for the fact that he destroyed my OEM slide. read more

I followed the instructions on the DWS website exactly...sent in my slide and optic, prepaid for the work (totaling over $1K in my parts + fees), and confirmed via USPS tracking that my package was delivered to the exact address on their site. When I reached out to confirm receipt, DWS claimed they never received it. What followed was months of stonewalling from their so-called "customer service." Excuses, vague promises, then eventually silence. They now ignore all attempts at communication. Bottom line: they took my property and my payment, and I have nothing to show for it. This isn't just poor service. It's theft. If you value your money, your time, and your equipment, avoid Dynamic Weapons Solutions at all costs. read more

Great service and experience. Will be back again soon. Awesome product and staff is super friendly and welcoming. Thank you guys.

I placed my order with DWS on February 5, 2025, for slide work on an M&P Shield .40, including a slide cut, front serrations, and a Cerakote finish. I received my completed slide on June 10, 2025. Throughout the process, I reached out for updates regularly--particularly after week 8. The DWS team was generally responsive, typically replying the same day or the next, although I occasionally had to follow up when a response was delayed. By around week 11, I began to grow a bit impatient with the extended turnaround, but I recognize there were a few unavoidable issues on their end, such as a broken tap that had to be carefully removed from the slide. In hindsight, I should have kept in mind that DWS is a small operation handling a high volume of custom orders, which naturally affects lead times. That said, once I received the final product, I can confidently say it was well worth the wait. The quality of the work is outstanding. The slide fits my red dot perfectly with zero play, and the team also removed the chamber indicator, which was a great bonus. After a generous application of oil and a few dozen cycles to work it in, the slide is now functioning flawlessly and ready for the range. I had read numerous reviews about DWS and saw examples of their excellent craftsmanship before committing, so I accepted the potential for delays. If you're someone who values quality and can be patient with the timeline, I highly recommend their services. The attention to detail and level of workmanship coming out of this shop is superb. read more
