Glad I stumbled across this shop on Yelp because it turned out to be exactly what I needed. I sent a quick question through their website and honestly wasn't expecting such a fast reply, but they got back to me right away. I was hunting for two extra mags for my G19 and P365 Macro and they had both ready to go. Drove over today and the vibe was immediately welcoming. The guys behind the counter were on it as soon as I walked in and made the whole thing quick and painless. No awkward standing around, no attitude, just straight up helpful. Shop has a wide selection of firearms and accessories. I honestly didn't want to spend too much time looking as I may leave with more than need.. There is a shop closer to me in Castro Valley, but I didn't like my last experience there so I'm willing to drive further out to this shop going forward. read more

I absolutely love this place. The employees are extremely knowledgeable and made great recommendations.

I will never go anywhere else for my firearm needs. They are smart, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They even instructed me on proper shotgun maintenance and demonstrated it at no charge on my gun. They are THE BEST! read more

If you are at all worried about navigating California's firearms laws, these guys have you covered. I've purchased both guns and accessories from them and their knowledge is second to none. I've never felt pressured to buy or talked down to for misunderstanding a legal nuance. Their prices are extremely competitive as well! read more

First time purchaser, Great Staff and Owner as well, very knowledgeable and answered some important questions, I was concerned about! Will be giving them my business in the future! The store is very nice and well maintained as well! read more

The customer service and firearm knowledge of the employees was excellent, and they had a positive and friendly demeanor throughout our time there. Both the owner David and employee Viet were very friendly and were able to guide me in scoping out future purchases. Would 100% recommend these folks for your firearm needs! read more

Casually walked in on my mommy day out to check the shop out. Damon and his team were friendly and had exceptional customer service. Although I don't know much about firearms I would put full confidence in this team at east bay firearms to getting my first piece. They are very knowledgeable and very involved with servicing their customers. Nice clean well kept shop! Got my first t shirt from them and I'm super stoked on wearing it! Took the firearm safety certificate and they made the process smooth and quick. These guys are super friendly and show full commitment to their customers. Did not feel uncomfortable at all walking in browsing and taking my safety test. Thanks guys! read more

These guys bend over backwards to help. Best gun shop in the bay area!! These guys are are friendly and professional and they will order guns for you. I have had experience with other gun shops, they don't want to order you what you want they want to sell you what they have in stock. I ordered a gun and a rail and they installed the rail so when I picked up t hff e gun, it was ready for a scope. read more

There's a lot to be said for a gun store where the front till doesn't act like they'd be thrilled to shoot you themselves just to be done with the whole ordeal faster. Friendly, very helpful, and great stock. Can't ask for much more than that. read more

I bought few firearms from these guys, Rayan and Damon were extremely helpful. I find these guys to be very knowledgeable and professional; they go out of their way to address their customer's needs. If you are looking for a gun shop to purchase your firearm, I would strongly recommend giving EastBay firearms a visit, you will not be disappointed. read more

I went out here a few weeks ago because I was wanting to check out an Sig Sauer P365, on a Sunday afternoon! This was the only place open and figured... why not? So I get there and it's got a few people shopping and picking stuff up. I spoke to a guy about that particular handgun. Saw it, checked it out, and purchased it. the price was as expected for California with the insane taxes, they also threw in a free magazine which I thought was awesome! They were in the process of expanding the business while I was there and when I did go pick up my P365 they had added a bunch of space and accessories which was pretty nifty to see. So when I went to pick up my Sig, I wanted to check out two more pistols... (here I am saying I won't buy anymore...) and I then purchased the P320 X5 Legion, and the P220 1911. I've since picked those all up and I am absolutely loving target practice at the range. Overall, I would highly recommend the place. Great crew, great selection, as expected price es, but once in a while they will throw in a little something-something as a thank you for shopping there. Oh.. and I pick up my Kimber Eclipse Custom II 1911 next week... read more

First time buyer, the staff was very nice and made me feel comfortable. They had a great selection to choose from. Wasn't too bad on the price either. Thank you EastBay Firearms!!! read more

Clean store, excellent selection with nice, knowledgeable staff. What a great FFL to have locally, could not be happier with the entire transaction. I'm local but this place is definitely worth making a trip from out of town to deal with. read more

Easy and quick online transfer process. Great selection of firearms and accessories in store. Would continue to do transfers here.

Friendly customer service and knowledgeable staff to help select our carry & home defense guns. Lots of inventory too! I recommend EastBay Firearms to all my family and friends. read more

Worst experience I've ever had from a gun shop. Recently took in a slide to be cut for an optic and get the optic mounted. Was told in person it'd take about 2 1/2 to 3 weeks to complete and that the optic would be bore sighted. As soon as I walked out of the shop I received a text message requesting that I write a review, and as of that time nothing had even been done. After 3 1/2 weeks and not hearing anything, I reached out and was told the slide was cut and would be shipped back to the shop from a machinist in LA that week. I was told I'd be contacted when it arrived. After not hearing anything for 4 more weeks i contacted the shop again and was told it arrived the day before. How true that is, I don't know, either way I was not notified that it was back. "About 3 weeks" turned into more than 7 weeks, and when I went to pick up the slide I was told the optic hadn't been "screwed down" so they did it while I was in the shop. As a result the optic was not properly bore sighted as I was told it would be. On top of all of that theres a gap between the optic and slide that doesn't seem correct. In conclusion I will give no further business to this shop, and will instead go to the various other shops in the area that I've had far superior customer service from. Update. Took the gun out to shoot for the first time after firing 5 rounds the sight has fallen off and one of the screws is now missing. After checking fitment the slide was never cut enough to begin with. read more

Definitely my number one choice of gun store in the area. I went to another store in Castro valley and EastBay firearms is by far my preference. Everyone there is very helpful and friendly. I purchased my first handgun here and bought a second one shortly after. Pricing is competitive and they are helpful with questions or support after purchases. read more

Man I really hate writing negative reviews but I did give them a couple chances/benefit of doubt but they've continued to miss the mark. They will get very defensive if you have any problems even though they say "come back and see us if you have any problems" Initially when I had first visited this place, it was a very positive experience, hence why I had, yes had decided to return to continue doing business with them. However, that experience turned very sour from my most recent and final visit with them. It all started when I called them about if they have a glock 19 upper assembly parts kit in stock for a BARE SLIDE, remember this for later in my review as this is important. They confirmed availability for the kit and I asked if they could also install it and they said yes that would be no problem. So I go over there and purchase the kit and they install it then when it came to the payment part the guy says hey I'm adding $35 for labor and at the time I just go along with it just to support a small business even though they did NOT mention anything about a labor charge as most if not all other gun shops usually would include it as a courtesy since you are buying the parts from them. But you think it would be nice and polite to to let your customer know that there will be a charge for something before anything? Especially if you don't have it clearly posted or stated anywhere? Also the parts and almost everything in there are pretty heavily marked up compared but hey support small business though am I right? Almost forgot to mention they also fail to provide me the spare parts from the kit. Anyways whatever, not a big deal. I pay it and go on with my day. It wasn't till I bring it to the range and notice that the iron sights install was completely botched and the left side was not seated properly on to the slide in addition to the gun not reliably chambering another round after a shot. I call them up and explain the situation and they said to bring it in. So I do and they blame it on my optic screws being to long and I already told them I've done tried it without it and it still does it then they proceed to say that I need to put about 100 rounds through it oh trust me I did. Slide is well lubed up too. Anyways while one of them is trying to fix the iron sights I ask the other owner if they charge for labor for parts purchased from them and he said "no..." but then quickly back tracks and says "actually if we had to disassemble your stock slide to install new ones then yes we would charge for labor" but then I say "well it was a BARE SLIDE so there wasn't much disassembly there...thats why I needed parts for it and I was not notified at all that there would be a charge until after the fact." Then he goes "oh well i didn't work on it ask the other guy who worked on it, I can't speak on this anymore sorry." Sure... anyways the other guy did get the rear sight finally seated in but while doing so also severely scratched the iron sight itself. I ask them to at least cover the labor charge since I had to come back a second time and stated that there was no labor charge notified to me prior to installation. They proceed to say "I understand but hey man MY time is worth something, I usually charge $100 for gun smithing so I cut you a deal. Sorry about that but I'll get you next time." So much for being considerate of my time as a customer having to come back to your store for your mess up. Sorry to say EastBay Firearms there won't be a next time. I will no longer do business with you. read more

EastBay Firearms - Botched rear iron sight by EastBay Firearms - Sporting Goods Near Me - Livermore, California

I just moved to the area and have been looking for a place for my firearm needs and East Bay Firearms absolutely meets those needs in spades. Customer service is top notch, treating me as if I've been coming in for years, they happily answer any question no matter how novice it may be and they don't make you feel like an idiot for asking. I needed quick turnaround on the service of my rifle since I was going to the range with friends and within 30 minutes, I was ready to go. The atmosphere is also just really friendly. You can hang out with no pressure, which is a big plus when you're trying to make a decision on what to get or do next. Needless to say, this will be my go to shop going forward. read more

This FFL charged $100 service fee + DROS fee for PPT. FSC test fee is $35, where it should be $25. That $100 service was not disclosed at all until the process was complete. I would have bought some stuff or do more business to support local gunstore, but this sneaky bs fee left me with a negative impression on this business. read more

I'm a relatively new gun owner and East Bay Firearms made the process easy. They walked me through options for home defense and for the range.

All round was a very nice environment and very polite. I will definitely be coming back to conduct business with the guys over at East bay read more

I don't understand why my review keeps getting deleted when I've been a customer for over a year now! This place is great and Ryan and Damon are knowledgeable and very patient, especially with first time gun buyers. You know this place is respected when many of the people in the shop are local police officers, firefighters, and paramedics, but I guess that comes with the owners working in emergency medicine as well. read more

I have been shooting handguns for decades but had an issue with one recently. I took it to Eastbay Firearms and he fixed the problem right away. And would not even allow me to pay him for his time.

Thank you Ryan and Damon thank you for taking the time in educating me on my firearms. read more

I wanted to take the time to leave a review because I am very appreciative of the service I have received each time I have gone to the shop. I have only been about three times in the last several months but each and every time they are very attentive to every customer (there is always at least a handful in the store), and super kind. They are ready to provide you all the information you need should you be open to it or have any questions. But what really brought me here to leave a review was the fact that when I asked if they would mind walking me to my car after picking up my gun they did it without any hesitation, didn't make me feel unreasonable for asking (even with another customer waiting to shop) and really made me feel like they care about the safety of the customers! It really meant the world to me to receive that kind of service. read more

This place is great. Well stocked with legitimate credibility about firearms. They will work with you to fulfill your needs in a safe and secure manner. read more

Has grown to become my go to shop in the east Bay Area and cannot be more pleased with their service. A decent sized inventory and available to order almost anything you need. When it comes to questions and figuring things out, they take their time to explain and give you their insight on the question at hand. They are also a amazing shop for beginners who are looking to get into firearms and spot shooting, I have turned a few of my friends there way and they walk out with more information than money spent. I appreciate how they don't try to sell you the most expensive thing on their shelf and take the actual time to gather information on what your looking to do and go from there. They work well with price ranges and will leave you happy. Again this is a amazing place and cont express how happy I am with their service. read more

awesome service! Got everything i needed. If they don't have it, they'll get it and beat those big store prices!

I came to East Bay Firearms without any prior experience research to becoming a first time gun owner. In retrospect, I was very happy that I came here for my first handgun. Damon was very friendly, respectful, and personalized when it came to my ambiguous needs and questions. I admittedly told him that "I feel like I'm asking stupid questions" in terms of my lack of preparedness or research, to which he said that there are no such thing, which definitely gave me relief and ease for being such a novice. He let me handle a few handguns to get a real feel to give me a good idea on which one to pick. After I picked out a handgun and waited 10 days, I met with Ryan who was just as professional and helpful with my additional questions to firearm ownership. Later, I had an issue with my California Firearms Ammunition background check, in which other firearm facilities seemed somewhat unhelpful with my issue. I decided to come back to East Bay Firearms to meet Damon again with my issue. He expressed humorous, but genuine sympathy for my issue and gave me clear instructions as to what to do to solve it. His distinction of attitude towards my concerns made all the difference, and I fully believe and recommend both Damon and Ryan's methods of customer service are above and beyond. read more
