I really enjoyed my experience for PPT here. I also did a consignment here as well. The people here are friendly and do not give you the second class treatment like Reed's does for PPT. The parking is small but I haven't encountered a case when I couldn't find a parking yet. When you go in, input your information on the kiosk to be put in the queue and they will call your name when it's your turn. Yes it can get busy but there are actually a lot to look at so hopefully you won't get bored while waiting. Everyone I met there has been friendly and helpful. The place is bigger than expected as it has two rooms and there are a lot of consignment in addition to new guns. Yes the price can be all over the place but you can always offer your price for the consignment. Overall one of the best places for supporting your local gun store. Oh they don't have credit surcharge which is amazing for a small shop. Thank you. read more

One of the few gun stores still open in the Bay Area. I've bought a few guns from them and have always appreciated their knowledge and helpfulness. I recently brought in my Walther P-22 for some gunsmithing when I saw a Grail Gun that I had been searching for a very long time. It was expensive as it is extremely rare and only available in California via PPT. After speaking with a team member (Armando) and handling the beautiful firearm I decided to buy it. He was very courteous and patient as I made my decision, which took a while. I decided to "pull the trigger" and gave him my credit card. He rang me up and put it in the back. Then came the hard part of waiting 10 days to pick it up. When I did, it was like Christmas Day. Anyway, I have always appreciated the folks at E2s Gun Vault for the expertise and good service. I am a customer for life. And now, the pics. read more

I've been coming here for years, and the staff has always been super friendly and helpful. Special shoutout to Arthur, who consistently goes above and beyond for me. He is calm, kind, courteous, and an exceptional staff member. read more

I purchased a brand-new Ruger LCP Max from E2's Gun Vault. The firearm came with a defective trigger that would become very stiff towards the end of its pull and fail to reset on its own after every 3 to 5 dry fires. Recognizing this was a Ruger factory issue, E2 offered to ship the gun back for a warranty repair on my behalf. After 6 months with no communication/updates from E2, I called them to inquire about the status. An employee informed me that they had received no word from Ruger. When the employee declined to issue a refund, I asked to speak to the owner, and Edgar took over the phone call. His first proposed solution was to offer to buy the unfired, defective gun back from me for just 2/3 of my original purchase price. I declined to take a 33% financial loss on a defective product they sold me. Shortly after, Edgar called me and offered to swap the firearm for a new LCP Max from his store inventory. However, because a new serial number requires a new background check, I would be responsible for paying the mandatory $37 California DROS fee out of pocket. I asked E2 to cover or offset this administrative fee to make up for the on-going half-year delay and total lack of communication, but Edgar declined. A reputable business works to make a wronged customer whole. Proposing that a customer take a 33% financial loss on a defective firearm they sold, and later refusing to absorb a $37 fee to resolve an on-going six-month wait for the customer and their lapse in communication, does not meet that standard. I chose to walk away and dispute the charge rather than pay out-of-pocket to remedy this purchase. Future buyers should be aware of how problem resolution is handled here. E2 will refuse to refund you for a defective firearm you purchased from them and expect you to pay out of pocket to cover the transfer fees a second time if they do decide to offer you a swap. read more

Great staff there. They have the most efficient check-in system. Got the FSC test there and picked up a S&W, nice experience read more

Super nice folks, great place to go if you are a first time caller. Prices were super fair and all the guys that work there are helpful and walk you though the process smoothly. Selection was pretty solid every-time I've gone in and I've never felt ripped off unlike other shops in the Bay Area. No stupid jokes or signs in the shop either which makes the shop feel way more welcoming and open to folks that aren't traditional gun owners. read more

Knowledgeable and professional. They always answer my questions and take time to help me learn things as I go. Prices are very competitive along with a legit selection of products. Even their consignment section is top tier. If they don't have it ask cause I've been pleasantly surprised. The whole team is great and I ask a lot of questions lol, they have been very patient with me. read more

Ordered two items from them and they really work with you on the pricing. With many of their distributors, they can easily price match. They have a good amount of employees at all times and it's amazing how much each and every one of them specialize in something different. Whether it was something about a muzzle, scope, etc, someone knows a good amount. They probably have the biggest amount of consignments out of all the stores and it's defintiely an older cozy atmosphere. Their pricing on ammo is too much though. read more

Guys, I could not express how much passion the owner has. Eduardo by far the best sales person I have ever dealt with! It's definitely worth the wait, but when your turn is up, the guy literally goes above and beyond giving you the best option and knowledge for your purchase. I was just window shopping between a SIG and a Glock and end up buying on the spot. This place is just amazing! I am a forever customer because this is the only gun store I have been that felt welcomed and the staff is just amazing. Will definitely go back for more! Highly recommend this place, the owner takes pride and passion delivering the best customer service! See for your self! Make sure you sign in the iPad when you get in the wait is a bit long because of how much customers he has but trust me when your turn is up they take time and effort dealing with your needs read more

Very good experience at E2s. They are very attentive to the ebbs and wains of the customer floe. Anyway, I bought a pistola and on the 4th day prior to pickup, used the old " Contact Us " on the website. I requested that two additional magazines will be purchased upon pickup. Please have it ready to save time and trouble. Well, no response from my message and on pickup day was told that someone had just come in and bought all the mags include the two I had requested held. Not a big deal, buy more ammo....no...be back when you stock up...no. Suggestion: read your web site messages if you appear to answer them. Why have a contact button? If not for the lame website management I'd give a 5 KEC read more

Great gun and ammo store. I went in the late afternoon and it was a little busy, but they have a queue system so everyone gets their turn in order. They installed night sights on my H&K and did an excellent job for what seemed like a very fair price. I'll be back for sure. read more

Great service and great selection. The people here are very helpful and patient unlike Reed's. They also have a great selection and the prices are great as well. There's plenty of space in the building as well so you don't feel squished. Plenty of optics and accessories for sale as well. Just recommend you be aware you might have to find parking somewhere and walk to the store as the lot is small and shared with other stores. Nothing they can do about that but just be aware you may have to do a few laps or settle to park and walk. read more

Went in; the store was empty. Started a transaction w/one of the 3 staff in the store. The phone rings the person helping me picks up. The next thing I know they go out to the floor to look at gun the person on the phone is asking about. Then more questions by the person on the phone. Then back out onto the floor to check something else for the person on the phone. Meanwhile I'm standing there waiting and waiting; after 15 minutes I left. I just wanted to buy a box of ammo... read more

Been here a few times and always receive excellent customer service. These guys are knowledgeable and helpful. Nice store layout and consignment items are available. Recommended. read more

I went in and was greeted by the employee, I then had to put my name on a iPad to wait and no less then 5 min Armando came and assisted me. I went into this store because the store I purchased my firearm from shut down and the only store that was closed to me was this one. Armando help me out on what I came to do and he made sure I was happy with my purchase before I left the store. I will definitely recommend this store to anyone who is looking to purchase a firearm and also ask for Armando. read more

I inherited some guns from my dad and 10 years later it was time to sell them. I was a hunter but time to face reality. Yes I was fortunate to deal with Arthur. We decided on consignment as 20% versus 50% as the guns were in new condition and I even had the the original box. Yes it took some time but I felt like I trusted his help. Great service! read more

Always a pleasure coming here. The staff is ALWAYS so damn polite and informative and helpful. Even if you don't purchase from them they are just damn happy to help. What every gun store should be. Seriously, the staff is just two thumbs up. Their prices are fair so no need to waste time and shop around. Going here has a value on many levels. Hope to see y'all there. read more

A friend recommended me this shop, and said they had recently acquired a pair of consignment handguns that were exactly what I was looking for. I was able to place one on hold thanks to Edgar, and Arthur was the person I interfaced with to do all the paperwork. Both gentlemen mentioned above were highly professional, personable as well, and were able to confidently answer all of my questions. Arthur was also able to demonstrate how to field strip the firearm for me, as this was my first purchase and I needed some guidance. Additionally, I was able to get ALL of what I needed right there. I picked up an ammo storage box, a handgun lockbox, and some range rounds. And their local veterans' affairs office provides a cable gun lock free with every firearm purchased here, which I think is a fantastic SP initiative (we as a nation should definitely take better care of our veterans, but I digress). These people exemplify responsible firearms stewardship in my opinion, and I can't tell you how much I value that. With my background working in specialty retail, I also can't overstate just how impressed I was by the level of knowledge and professionalism the staff here displayed. Kudos to them. I'll be back when I'm ready to start looking at long guns. When visiting, don't forget to sign up on the tablet at the door! This is how they stay organized and ensure the best possible service for every customer. They'll call your name when they're ready for you. read more

The heavy set guy was not helpful when I was trying to purchase a pistol.he looked very unhappy with his life. Just sat there and stared at me then, when I would try to ask a question he gave me flat 1 word answers which were not helpful at all. Did not end up purchasing because of it. Was a very unprofessional and uncomfortable experience. read more

I always enjoy coming here. The staff not only answers my questions, but they make sure the entire experience is tailored to helping me choose the right firearm, ammunition, and accessories. They're knowledgeable, and if they don't have an answer on the spot, they'll take the time to look it up. You can tell they genuinely enjoy working there! Their teamwork and interactions create a welcoming environment. Every visit feels personal, and I always leave with more knowledge and confidence in my decisions. I highly recommend this shop, especially for anyone new to firearms who wants to shop with confidence. They also have a wide selection, and if something isn't in stock, they'll do their best to order it for you. read more

They had amazing service, for the private party transfer that I wanted and edgar was very understanding that I would come in later in the day for it. read more

5-Stars. Dad has terminal pancreatic cancer and wanted to unload some rifle's, to elevate mom the burden. I showed Edgar pictures of the rifle's and he gave me a "general" quote. The next day I brought the rifles into E2s Gun Vault and Edgar held true to his word. He made an emotional transaction easy for me! I really appreciated Edgars professionalism and his gun knowledge is very impressive. I brought in an old military rifle and he immediately named it: "SKS" Russian Bayonet! If any of gun enthusiasts out there are interested in a crazy beautiful SKS in perfect condition, plus 1800 rounds of ammo... Call Edgar, he now has my dad's beautiful rifle! read more

These guys rock! I had messed up my Sig FCU following some YT videos, took it another gunsmith and said it would take weeks!!! Called here, told me to bring it in. Came on a busy Friday, now I know why they were busy... Good people, good service, brings the crowd. Anyways, they had it fixed in 10 mins tops. Cheers to Edgar and company, all were friendly and knowledgeable. Didn't even charge me much for the fix. I think I know where I'll be heading for my next firearm and ammo purchases. Do not hesitate! Consider these guys for your gunsmith and firearm needs! read more

Called in to inquire about H2 buffers. Got helped by Arthur. Was told aero precision h2s were available for $15. Drove here after the call. Got to see the item which had a $15.00 sticker on it. After it was scanned, actual price was $38. No discount or perk was offered for this mistake. Left immediately. Was given a jolly "Have a good day" and that was the end of the interaction. Based off the address and new name, this place must have changed ownership. I think the staff could have been better about making sure the sticker label prices reflect the actual prices. Here I was thinking I was getting a good deal. Only to waste time to come here and find a typical buffer for msrp prices. Would have been a good idea to double check the prices when we talked over the phone instead of giving me a false value. Good customer service goes more than just using a friendly voice. This place has not earned my business for the future. Good luck to them. read more

I really appreciate how knowledgeable, patient, and approachable the staff is. They were friendly and professional, and have helped educate me quite a bit regarding a whole range of firearms. They also have a reasonable FFL transfer price. I highly recommend visiting their store. They also have a nice selection of rifles and pistols. read more

These guys definitely know their stuff! Tim is the one who helped me out and gave me a ton of info on different guns, sales, and future products that I could potentially buy. He helped educate me on the ins and outs of Californian rules. Furthermore, their FFL transfer fee is only 100 bucks. Some other places charge upwards to 150 per transfer. I appreciate the honestly and help! I look forward to continue buying from them! Thank you! read more

BIG shout out to Thuy and the rest of the staff. Came in to view a couple firearms. Thuy immediately greeted me and walked me through steps needed in order to get my License and CCW and the differences between so. After that he took showed me great introduction options for concealed carry and fun at the gun range. I had plenty of questions, about a few firearm's reliability, safety and performances and he answered all questions. I was roughly there for around 30 minutes and none of the staff seemed to be impatient whatsoever. Pricing wise I would say it's definitely reasonable! Will be coming here more often and recommending those venturing into the community. read more

They have zero customer service awareness. I walked in and stood there for 20 minutes as they waited on Mr Magoo and other corky people that also were extremely rude and unaware. It's like being an invisible person. No engagement from any employee. No " I'll be with you next." Or "Hold tight." Will never buy from this place. read more

I have dealt with them many times, the interaction and service is top notch! Staff is very friendly along with the fastest transfers I have dealt with here by far. They make it simple and sweet with smiles. read more

Such a great team here. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Still building inventory but already have so many options for your builds. They also have a wide varsity of ammo which is a huge plus. I look forward to working with them in the future. read more

I'm glad that a new business has stepped into this space to serve the local community. The store is not as jam packed as the old one was, but hey give it time! The staff is friendly, and I'm looking forward to them sticking around for a while. read more

Despite them making a big claim about being "inclusive", one look at the type of pictures the hang on their walls shows that they are actually the opposite. Absolutely do not recommend this place. The security is weirdly lax for a gun store as well. There are much better places to go in the bay. read more

These guys are great! Went to a couple different shops around the Bay area after deciding to get back into the spprt, but this is the one I'll be coming back to for all my future needs. All the folks here are super friendly, approachable and most importantly, knowledgeable. read more

I've been to about half the gun stores in the Bay Area and E2's Gun Vault is by far the best for a few reasons: they're quick, they're extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly, and they have pretty good prices on everything. A lot of the time (especially on weekdays) I can walk right in, get helped, and be on my way in 20 minutes or so. For the uninitiated, that's extremely fast. The store is also well maintained, well lit, and not filled with junk and empty boxes like most gun shops around here. Idk how else to describe it but the vibe is just great. They're also really nice and not standoffish. Most OTHER stores take forever and don't really have a consistent way to work through customers, so you end up standing around for literally hours waiting to get helped while the regulars shoot the shit with the staff. Worst offender for wait times is Bass Pro, and Peninsula Tactical is pretty slow too. I'm talking stand there for an hour or more just to talk to someone. If you've been to one of those other Bay Area gun stores in the past and found it to be a total pain in the ass, give E2's Gun Vault a try. I bet they'll change your mind (for the better) about what visiting a proper gun store should be like. read more

As a new gun owner and first-time AR15 builder, E2s Gun Vault is an awesome local gun store. Upon entering the store I was greeted and welcomed by multiple staff. My reason for the visit was to get my AR checked to ensure it was safe to operate. This being my first build, I wanted someone with more experience and knowledge to check my work. The staff checked my rifle, tightened the buffer tube castle nut, adjusted the spacing in my trigger housing, and applied lubricants to the BCG and charging handle. Did I mention that they did it for FREE!! The quality E2s Gun Vaults work and the openness to sharing their knowledge has earned them a customer for life. Go check out the E2s Gun Vault gun store. You will not be disappointed. read more

Very pleasant people. Probably give you a fair price on your guns. They do not send a check to you when they sell a gun. You must call to see if guns have sold and then they will send a check. If you have other gun paraphernalia, you will get almost nothing for it. They gave us $50 for many boxes of ammo, telescopes, cleaning articles, etc. read more

Gone is the terrible service of Bay Area Gun Vault. The new management is friendly and accommodating. Although they have limited firearms (which is why they didn't get a full 5-star), their selection is clearly based on quality over quantity with a selection of hard to find firearms. My new favorite firearms dealer, since service is important to me if you want my business. read more
