I can't express how thankful I am to the gentlemen who helped me choose a gift for my husband. Amazing customer service and patience for my silly questions. I'll definitely be bringing my husband here for all of his future needs. Thanks again! read more

DONT COME HERE!! These guys are scammers I went to purchase ammo and my information wasn't adding up because I didn't include APT for my apartment number under my firearms registration so they charged me for the background check which was $5 no big deal but then they guy working told me there was a $10 min fee so I asked if he could just charge me twice so I can just pay the $10 and he said no that I have to buy something and the cheapest thing they had there was a bar of soap for $10 so not only did I not get ammo but they had me walking out spending $15 on some soap don't shop here. read more

Had a great experience with Firearm Unknown. Staff was knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to answer all my questions without rushing me. The selection was solid, and everything was clearly explained in terms of features and safe handling. Customer service stood out the most -- they made sure I felt comfortable and informed the entire time. Pricing was fair and the process was smooth from start to finish. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending them to others. read more

The staff here is amazing. I have had nothing but a pleasant experience. The staff is super knowledgeable. If you buy a part from them they will install it for free. Where else in San Diego offers that kind of service. I will continue to support. Thanks to Laurie and the rest of the staff. read more

These guys are the best! Whole staff is super knowledgeable. Love the customization they offer. Sebastian is top tier. Ethan is so knowledgeable and patient with questions. They're not trying to upsell you on anything. They're genuinely in it for the love of the community. Prices are reasonable. Just a great shop overall. They have such a huge selection to choose from as well. They helped me build a custom, and I got to pick all the parts I wanted for less than you would for a complete. Gotta go to these guys for your needs. read more

Bought three guns there recently and ammo. The service was great and the staff was very helpful and knowledgeable about not only the products but their great ability to educate on all CA firearm laws. The prices for quality rifles are awesome too for what you get! read more

I needed to update my FSC (Firearm Safety Certificate) so I ended up calling this shop and they said they could help me out. The store is in the hood but inside it is very organized and aesthetically pleasing, with what looks like a great amount of inventory. I forgot the gentleman's name who helped me out, but he was very informative and walked me through the entire process. I was in and out of there in about 15 minutes and couldn't have had a more pleasant experience. Would definitely return if (I guess more like "when") I need more firearms as well as for any accessories for existing firearms. Thank you for supporting 2A in the republic known as Commiefornia. read more

The guys here are legit. Super friendly and knowledgeable. I came here for a FA CA320 and I was out in about 15 mins. No BS, just straight up service. Well kept store, clean, well stocked. I would not hesitate to do business with the guys here ever. These guys earned my business for good, I'm super appreciative for what they've shown me and done for me today. read more

Not the best location, but the staff was friendly and welcoming. Richmond was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He was patient through our questions and was very professional.

I was referred here by one of my friends from The Training Center which is an MMA gym in Pacific Beach ran by Chris Leben. My friend is sponsored on his GI by them and He told me if I wanted a rifle to come here because they make custom AR's. I'm new to the game so I figured this would be a better experience than just buying any gun off the shelf. He specifically told me to meet Grover the owner who then advised me to have Jim build my AR since I got to him at a bad time when he was leaving the business. Jim though did an amazing job from the start to finish. He went above and beyond showing me proper techniques for holding the rifle and even educating me on the laws in California regarding AR 15's . He helped me choose every single piece of my new rifle and today I was able to have him and Sebastian put it all together for me. They are very detailed, passionate and fun to work with. The rifle turned out too cool! Honestly I'm blown away with that we were able to put together. Nothing beats making a custom rifle and I'm grateful for all the guys at the shop. Thanks for making me feel like a top priority there will be back for all of my 2nd amendment needs read more

Great store, very clean and organized. The whole staff is knowledgeable about all firearms they carry. If one can't answer a question, another can. I've bought two guns from this store this year and everyone has been very helpful. Jim specifically has helped me with my most recent purchases. From start to finish, he's been giving me tips and suggestions on videos to watch to improve my shooting. He was able to answer all my questions about glocks and which would be a better fit for me. Jim even gave me suggestions to upgraded parts after I took it to the range and realized what I wanted to do differently. Although I chose to install the parts myself, he was very open to installing them for me. I will be going back to this store in the future and if you're on the fence about getting a firearm, this is the place to go. Update: Went back in today for some other parts, and Jim was preoccupied with another customer so Sebastian helped me out a lot. Again, like with Jim, I had questions about parts I wanted and he gave me his personal opinion as well broke down what the parts did exactly to give me an idea of what my shooting would feel like. Still a 5/5 star if you've gotten this far and still on the fence. read more

Nice local spot for guns and ammo. Offers FSC training. Bigger floor than I was expecting which is nice. Went in to make a first time purchase and all the staff made me feel welcome and informed. I would recommend for experts looking for specific items or newcomers looking to make a purchase or inquire. Waiting to pick up later this week. read more

No one's left a review for these guys for a while so I guess I'll stop being a lurker and put in my two cents. Basically reaffirming every other comment about friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, courteous, etc. I picked up the Keltec Sub-2000. Got a lot of good information since the guy behind the counter has one as well. Not gonna lie, the store front isn't the most impressive, but they're not in a flashy part of town so they fit right in. These guys sell guns and gun accessories... they're not Neiman Marcus. read more

I discharged from the Marine Corps in 2001. The last rifle I owned and Fired was around that time. I've procrastinated on buying a new rifle for over 10 years. So much has changed in terms of laws especially here in California. Trying to figure out what is legal and what is best for my style and needs of shooting was such a daunting task. Walking into a gun shop was intimidating and borderline embarrassing. I asked a friend of mine who is an arms instructor in Apple Valley who he recommends and he said Fire Arms Unknown. I had no idea they were in my backyard. There I met Victor Jr or VJ. He helped me build exactly what I needed in a AR15 and explained every little detail to me. He made me feel comfortable despite my ignorance. They are going to be putting it together for me and i'll be ready to pick up in 10 days once my background check clears. read more

It feels as if they dont want to sell , i was received with attitude when i was a potential buyer but wont ever go there ever again

I was in town visiting have a great time driving around trying to find a beach when i saw this awesome billboard with a giant rifle on it. I stopped and i went inside and to my surprise i found the mecca for ar15's! This place is seriously rad! They specialize in 80% products but mostly focus on the ar15/ar10's and Glock platforms. They had an unreal amount of inventory and insanely good prices on scopes, they had eo tech's for $380!! I didn't buy anything because i was on vacation but i will probably shop with them online. Grover was really helpful and super nice. He didn't off that typical jerk attitude a lot of gun shops usually have. Thanks guys!! read more

I'm sorry I left this review and didn't check back for a year. I've since been back with other issues with my at-15 and ar-10. None of the issues had anything to do with them but the staff went out of there way to help me out multiple times. They tried to contact me about my earlier review to fix any issues. I still love this store. I will always support any local gun shop. Sorry for not checking back into Yelp for any response. Definitely a 5 star read more

After having such a terrible experience using socal gun for the past couple years I needed a new store and firearms unknown won me over by a long shot. They have real world experience with the products they sell and will stop at nothing to answer all of your question. They are an absolute pleasure to work with and I find myself spending a lot of time there being able to casually converse for hours. They are such a great group of people, I even got a friend to start exclusively shopping there, we both especially enjoy working with Sebastian. They are also one of the only store I know of that gives reward points for your purchases. Awesome experience and great products!!! read more

I love doing business here. Everyone I've worked with is polite, professional and knowledgable. There is no holier-than-they attitude if you aren't tac'ed out in 511 gear and oakley's. I came in to buy a trigger for my AR. I love that they have mockups to test the different triggers out and I ended up with a Giselle. I have never been disappointed with the service or products I've found here read more

Went in yesterday to buy a polymer 80 for a Glock 17 build. The Glock Store is closer on Sundays and that's what lead me to look at other shops around San Diego that carry the Polymer 80. The guys were friendly and easy to talk too. The carry a ton of stuff, mostly stuff to build an AR or Glock. They also carry a nice collection of handmade knives. I didn't look around too much because I knew what I wanted but overall experience was great! Will definitely be returning in the future for other parts. read more

These guys always have the coolest AR platform parts and options. They are doing 80% lowers and do the engraving DOJ requires once you have your required letter. I have always had pleasant transactions whether I am picking up something small or pricy they always treat you with care like you matter. Even manage to snag some polymer 80 frames to build a glock and they have the parts and barrels to match! read more

Great local gun shop! They don't just sell "ghost guns", but all sorts of accessories and serialized guns. They do background checks, unlike what some people on Facebook say. read more

Very helpful! Answered all my questions. First time buying a gun, I'd definitely go back for my second.

I walked in expecting just to look around and see what they have, i asked where the sights were expecting one of the employees to point, but instead he begins showing me some iron sights which i didn't really seem interested in. And he sat there just waiting while i looked around to help me out, i felt a little weird that he didn't just walk away but waited to see if there was anything else i wanted to check out , i wasn't used to the good customer service. Cool and helpful dudes read more
