I looked this shop up as my wife and I were traveling in the area. After looking up his operating…read morehours, I showed up at a time he was supposedly open. Long story short, a sign on door asked potential customers to text him and he'll decide if it's worth his effort to come down to the store. Unfortunately for me, he asked what I was looking for, and after I answered, he replied that he was not in town. Maybe if I was a bigger sale for him, he would have shown up to work??

Waste of time. Recommend Eagle Eye Firearms in Buellton. Nice guy runs it. I live in Santa Ynez so figured I'd try this out (love the name and the 2A) but looks like the bad reviews are correct. He isn't here to serve the 2A public whatsoever.

Of course, the department of justice clearance must be obtained for the purchase of the gun to be completed. I find that the prices are reasonable and I could ask any questions on the process, making it an ideal spot for first time gone purchasers. You can buy your ammo here as well and do the gun demonstration in person. There's a variety of options for consumers that are more experienced. There is a gun range in Santa Maria that you can use to practice be warned that they are free and so you must purchase that ammo for the practice from the gun club.

The team at Cobra Tactical went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule and set up private training for me. Prior to my training session, I sent Naomi a list of ammo and other items that I wanted to purchase for the session. When I arrived, Naomi already had my entire order perfectly organized in a box and ready to go. I was super lucky to have Dave as my instructor. The class session was very informative and focused on topics that actually mattered. The range session was really where Dave really separated himself from the pack. Training sessions that I have previously done with other instructors were very basic and focused on standing still and aiming at a paper target. Dave takes a much more tactical approach. By the end of my training, I felt very comfortable drawing from a holster and shooting while moving, even with distractions. This training was worth every penny. I can't wait to do more training sessions!
