I won a couple of guns at a fundraiser and went to Stage Stop to start the process…read more It was super busy on a Saturday but the folks behind the counter were pleasant to deal with. A lot of the delay is the mounds of paperwork that the state requires you to present and fill out. Bottom line is the bad guys don't go into gun shops and complete the legal process so us good folks suffer. I've been in most of the gun shops in the Stanislaus County area as well as the Bay Area. Stage Stop can give them all a run for their money. Great selection. I didn't shoot in the range but I took a look and it's clean and well maintained. I looked at their products while I was waiting the prices seem fair. I will definitely recommend this shop to my friends.

Pros: Almost never had to wait for a lane (at least not due to a lot of people shooting). They have…read morea separate room for their rifle shooting. I believe you can shoot up to 7.62. SOME of the staff are very friendly and super knowledgeable. Big variety of firearms and parts/accessories. Cons: The rest of the staff look miserable aren't very welcoming or friendly. Ammo is more expensive than other places in the area. They also don't allow any firearm that THEY deem may not be "compliant". If I have all the correct paperwork for my firearms and have legally acquired them, I don't see why I'd be rejected. Will keep giving them a try for now.

This is a…read morefirearm store and if you're trying to acquire a firearm in the state of California, be ready to jump through hoops. This place has some of the CHEAPEST prices in the Central Valley! Before buying a firearm do your homework. Learn everything you need to do before even entering a store like this. Know all the paperwork you will need to bring and testing you will need to take. You're not buying shoes! If you want someone to kiss your azz while purchasing a firearm, I'm sure there's plenty of other stores that will comply and fluff your buns, while charging you an additional 20%. If you want to window shop, they have a website showing you everything they have in stock. You can then watch reviews on YouTube about the firearms you have interest in. Walking in and having an employee show you a bunch of different firearms is wasting everyone's time. The shops and the buyers. The amount of paperwork and background checks to keep everything legal is a nightmare. Sometimes mistakes happen and you might have to wait extra time to receive your firearm. BIG DEAL! The new laws that have been placed over time has made purchasing a firearm extremely difficult. Make sure all your "T's are crossed and i's are dotted." I've been a long time customer 20+ years and yes had issues with time delays and inconveniences. Again this is a firearm store not a shoe store. I'd rather have a stern "buy the book" firearm dealer that will do all the paperwork properly and get me on my way, then someone that will hold my hand and tell me everything will be alright.

The store is currently charging $50 in addition to DROS. Stores taking advantage of a state-mandated process that gun owners must comply with is a very sad policy. California Penal Code: 28055. (a) For a sale, loan, or transfer conducted pursuant to this chapter, the purchaser or transferee or person being loaned the firearm may be required by the dealer to pay a fee not to exceed ten dollars ($10) per firearm. (d) The dealer may not charge any additional fees.

I called around Stockton to find a place willing to do PPT without magazines and Called2arms is able to help out. The store has many new and old guns are the people are friendly and efficient. I wish more stores are like this in that they are willing to help customers instead of just trying to get money from the customers. The PPT was super fast and you can tell they want to help you get it done quickly. I always show appreciation for stores that don't charge extra with hidden fees because they don't make money on it and their attitude tells me what kind of store it is. Called2arms is a great store in that respect. If this were any closer I'm sure I'll hang out more here.

What called me back was my cousin wanted to do a PPT transaction. Called2Arms was close to his place and he spoke very highly of this place. It takes more than and hour to visit this shop, but I can see why I would be a repeat customer. When arriving we were warmly greeted by the staff and attended to immediately. It was kind of a slow day at the shop when we were there. From start to finish our transaction went very smoothly, with the help of the knowledgeable staff. I waited the mandatory 10 days to pick up my M&P Shield. When picking that up, I saw another firearm that caught my interest. The S&W 380 Bodyguard. After picking up my latest firearm I re-upped on supplies and stopped window shopping! LOL Thank you everyone at Called2Arms for your great & friendly service! I'm for sure a repeat customer!
