    The work that was completed by the shop.

    Let me just say Deon the best. Came in for a grip module swap and a sight install and Deon took care of me immediately. Was in and out in less than 20 minutes. Will most definitely comeback.

    Used Smith & Wesson .500 Magnum revolver.

    What are your fees for ammo transfers?

    We do not charge our customers for ammo transfers. All you have to pay for is the CA background check.… Read more

    Hi there, do you offer gunsmithing? Looking to replace factory sights on my Springfield XD9. Thanks

    Yes, they do. Art (aka BlackBeardCustoms) is one of the shop owners and a master gunsmith himself. He removed my red-loctite-ed Leupold DPP without any issues from a Beretta FS92. Decent pricing as well. Best of luck, Filip

    Have you thought about adding a filter to remove all the out of stock items so that your website isn't so useless? I went through a few pages before giving up and going to your competitors.

    Dose Guns LA do private party ammo transfer?

    Yes, we handle all transactions. This includes PPT of both firearms and ammunition.

    Hello, I would like to buy a gun for self-defense. I'm not sure your inventory on S&Ws and Colts, but if you don't have a gun in stock and it's California compliant, are you able to order it? I'm thinking of a .357 so I can also use .38s with it.

    Is this a shooting range also?

    Unfortunately, we’re just a retail store. We do not have a shooting range on site. However, we do have free passes to local shooting ranges which you will receive when picking up your purchased firearm.

    I have a Romeo 1 Pro that I would like installed on my Sig P320 X compact. It has the removable plate on the backside so it should be fairly easy to install. Will you guys be able to do that? And if so how much would that be?

    Yes, we can easily install it for you. We charge a flat $50 for red dot sight installs on factory cut slides, assuming all correct items are included such as sealing plates, mount screws, and optic screws.

    Do they have a layaway system?

    Unfortunately we’re not offering layaway options at this time.

    Do they sell trigger kits for glocks?

    Yes. Zev

    Can I take a quiz or test same day in store?

    Yes.

    Do I have to make an appointment to take the FSC test?

    No appointment needed. Just walk-in whenever you would like to take a test.

    What is needed to buy weapons?

    california ID that does NOT say "Federal Limits Apply." if your ID says that then you need to bring your passport. you have to be either a US citizen or Green Card holder with everything up to date. ID cannot be expired either.… Read more

    Nationwide CCW

    I recently completed my 2-day CCW qualification with Arvin Younan at Nationwide CCW, and I cannot…read morerecommend this course enough. What sets Arvin apart is his ability to balance a great vibe and a sharp sense of humor with the extreme seriousness of the subject matter. He doesn't just teach you how to shoot; he spends a significant amount of time focusing on the legal consequences of self-defense shootings in California. This part of the class was eye-opening and essential--he makes sure you understand that the decision to pull the trigger is the absolute last resort and carries life-altering legal weight. The classroom portion was never dry because Arvin keeps everyone engaged, but he also has zero tolerance for ego or unsafe behavior, which I really appreciated as a student. The Range Experience: The qualification at the range was exceptionally well-managed. Arvin brought along three additional instructors, ensuring a very high instructor-to-student ratio. Having four professionals watching the line made the entire process feel incredibly safe and organized. They were helpful, calm, and focused on ensuring everyone followed protocol to the letter. If you are looking for an instructor who is professional, legally knowledgeable, and runs a tight ship while keeping the atmosphere welcoming, Arvin is your guy. Bottom line: If you want to be a responsible CCW holder in CA, train with Nationwide CCW. UPDATE: Regarding 1-star review from Gabe Ruediger. He wasn't expelled from the class because he asked instructor a question about "lethal weapon" registration. He was expelled (twice) due to a persistent pattern of aggressive behavior, verbal harassment of instructors and students, and a total lack of the emotional self-control required for safe firearm certification. I was in the same class with him and witnessed it all. The instructor handled the situation very professionally and gave him multiple opportunities to correct his behavior before finally asking him to leave for the safety of the class.

    I honestly am at a loss how Nationwide CCW has so many 5 star reviews. Not even any 4s, 3s or 2s…read more The place is a dump and they pack you in like sardines. Not someplace you want to sit all day. The instructor is bellicose and rude. They even had attitude answering initial questions over the phone - which should have been my first clue. Just a nasty experience - start to finish - that has stayed with me. There are better options. EDIT: They reached out confrontationally trying to verify my identity. No thanks LOL To my fellow Yelpers - feel free to do your own research. Check my profile and see my reviews. I can tell you my experience with them was terrible and my review accurate.

    2nd 5-star Review:…read more I'm in love with GUNS DIRECT. I LOVE THIS PLACE AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE I ALWAYS GET HERE. Since my first purchase, I've returned for a rifle with a fixed mag, which I learned before picking up I could have converted to "featureless", so I could use replaceable mags. I asked Ramiro about this, and that's how I learned Ramiro is an armorer, and he walked me through the conversion. He sold me what I later found was the best featureless grip handle on the market, and then he completed the conversion for free with my purchase of the grip handle, and my 2 new replaceable mags. I've really appreciated Ramiro's advice, insights, and the personal experience Ramiro has shared with me , which has all turned out to be valid and true. I have the bruises to prove it. I wanted a KSG. That's how I found GD. Thats how I met Ramiro. He didn't lie to me. He warned me about the recoil on a pump action shotgun like the KSG. I said I'd get used to it. He asked if I was sure. I said "I have to." So not only did he sell me a KSG, he stopped me from getting the scratched unit I was looking at, and got me a blemish-free KSG. As a newbie with no mentor to walk me into this world, I was willing to just buy whatever a knowledgeable salesman would sell me, simply accepting that a scratch was just how firearms sales can sometimes be--but Ramiro didn't let that happen. Ramiro really has been a great guide. He helped me pick my first 9mm--S&W M&P 2.0-and it's such a great firearm. It's solid. Reliable. Accurate. Comfortable. Looks cool. Comes with switchable grips. I bought Trijicon night sights on Amazon, and took over a month to make my way to GD for the install, only to find I had bought sights for the wrong S&W 9mm. Since it had been over 30 days, I couldn't return them, but Ramiro not only found me an alternative option (Ameriglo optic compatible GRM tritium) night sights--but also included the install with the purchase. I love my new Ameriglo night sights on my M&P 2.0 9mm! What a difference. And great bang for your buck. And they are optic-ready sights, so I can add the red dot later on. I appreciated being guided so knowledgeably. I follow Ramiro's lead confidently. And while I was there doing this, Ramiro asks me if I had with me the adapters that came with the streamlight I had on my 9mm, because he was offering to fix the streamlight I improperly installed on my 9mm (which was sticking out too far). I did not have them, so he offered to fix it for me if I just brought the adapters. I really appreciated Ramiro's offer, but more importantly I appreciated him pointing out to me my improper installation. I soon realized I could fix it myself. I've since fixed it, and I have yet again Ramiro to thank. To be clear, every single rep at GD has been helpful and totally professional. I've really appreciated the service I've received. Alonso, Danny, Jerry, Sherri, Alex all super helpful professionals. Alonso and Danny both remembered my name, which is shocking because this place is popular. I love love love Guns Direct. My gun shop for life! I already have my eye on two more firearms, and Jerry even has me thinking about a revolver. And Ramiro makes me want a semiautomatic shotgun. I love it!

    The real pros on the block. Unlike the ones with world in their name…read more.. They are busy like everyone else but they handle you with kindness, never rude. Great value, great selection.

    I had a great experience at Tactical Firearms Institute. I took a firearm class with OJ, and it…read morecompletely changed my perspective. Simply going to the range and practicing is not enough--proper training like this is essential, and honestly, I believe it should be mandatory for anyone who owns a firearm. OJ was extremely thorough, clear, and detail-oriented in his instruction. He made sure everyone understood not just how to handle a firearm, but how to do so safely and responsibly. I highly recommend this class to anyone serious about firearm ownership.

    I really can't say enough good things about Tactical Firearms Institute…read more For starters, I wasn't exactly brought up in a gun culture, but I picked up my skills along the way through family, friends, and videos. And I was also going to the range enough to get frustrated at how I was stuck at my skill level and knew I needed training. With that, it's difficult to explain how much better, more confident, and comfortable I am with a firearm since I started training with Edmond (OJ). His expertise in the field is apparent immediately, and he has a resume that is hard to beat. But that's half of it. He's a great teacher who has the master-level talent of identifying your skill level, correcting mistakes, and patiently pushing you to a higher level than you thought was possible in yourself. And you can double everything I said about CCW training. If you have a CCW license, but you're uneasy about the concept of carrying it in public, I cannot express how important good training will be to you and how much OJ has helped me.
