It's always a pleasure to joke with these folks. The discount on the transfers allows for cheaper guns to be brought is as well as the expensive ones. Don does great gunsmithing too. read more

Great people!! Husband and wife team. Very knowledgeable. I Highly recommend them for all your questions and gun work and sales. Thank you

I have done multiple transfers with Don and his wife over the years. Other shops in the county don't compare to the service and value you get with Don. I was once an FFL myself in California, and really feel for these people as I understand how they are constantly and continually harassed and abused by our State's communist regime. Residents of the county need to support local FFL's because if we don't eventually we will have a corporate dominated retail gun industry in California that will be in a position to dictate pricing. read more

The shop is small, the service is amazing, and they have all the tools. I took my gun license here and have had my father's guns stored with them twice now. Thanks to Gussler's! read more

Don is my go to guy for all things firearms. He's worked on my 1911's, AR15's as well as bolt action rifles. I've also used him as an FFL dealer for my firearms purchases (as well as his wife, Susan). I've known him for more than 20 years when we were both still in the Navy as well as competing in Navy matches. Great guy and extremely knowledgeable. read more

I daughter wanted to give me a firearm from Oregon so I needed to get an interstate family transfer and Gussler's was the only place I found that would do it. It's a complicated process and all the gun stores I contacted would not do it. read more

I swear Gusslers gets better every year. As a younger person I found gun stores and FFLS to have questionable customer service if any at all. Gussler's was a bit brash back in the Obama frenzy at the end of the assault weapons ban, but they've lightened up a ton and I genuinely appreciate them both. If you ask good questions you will get good answers. After spending 5 hours total to get a transfer done at turner's, Gusslers is far more efficient. Don't expect a red carpet and you will get quality service. read more

Difficult to work with, rude and easily triggered. He didn't send an email like he said he would, and then he got upset when I followed up about it. read more

Done afew xfers w/Don over tha years, and it's always gone smooth as butter! He's pretty responsive via email, and he knows his S! (Which, in CA's ever-changing alphabet soup of nonsensical and UNCONSTITUTIONAL nonsense, is sayin ALOT!) read more

Only place I can recommend for a Ffl transfer. Look no further. I have used them for years and they are the best.

Great people, great service. True professionals in every sense of the word. Enthusiastically recommend. R12 Major USMC read more

Gussler's is my go-to spot to do FFL transfers and have ammo received! They know their business, are always friendly, and have decades of firearms experience if you have questions. Don and Susan are the best, but you definitely want to make an appointment as they are very busy! read more

Probably the cheapest way to do a firearms transfer in the county. Besides that, Susan makes me laugh.

I tried to contact Gusslers to sell a gun. I tried 3 times by phone. It went to busy signal after 1 ring. I emailed him 3 times with no response. It has been 2 weeks now. I will not try to do business with this company again! read more

It was my first time using them as a transfer agent. I will definitely be using them again and again. They were great. Super easy to deal with and and I didn't have to call and check up on my DROS status or ask if the shipment was in yet. They stayed on top of things the whole time. Thanks! read more

It's a little strange walking up to a home to pickup your firearm but, it was a great transaction! I walked up and Mrs. Gussler was out front and she invited me into the garage and I sat down, gave her my paperwork and ID. She pulled up my my paperwork from her computer had me sign the forms I was supposed to sign and I was done! She was very polite and professional! I'd definitely go back for my next transfer. read more

Gussler's is always my go-to for transfers. Susan & Don are very kind people who do their community a great service by doing transfers for significantly lower fees than pretty much anywhere else. They have earned a customer for life. A note for first-timers: they literally operate out of their garage, so don't be surprised when the address is a residential house. If they're busy, just wait right outside and they'll call you in when they're ready. Calling beforehand to make an appointment is always a good idea; they're very popular! read more

I've used Don a few times as my FFL when buying firearms through Gunbroker. He's always been very easy to deal with and a wealth of knowledge. This is an outstanding family owned shop. I personally recommend him without hesitation. read more

I only deal with Gusslers , their servive has always been great , never had a problem of any kind . Thank you Gusslers read more

Great people to cover date with. The owner is also the President of South Bay Rod and Gun Club which is another great place to go to. All around great experience and the best prices probably in the state. read more

Gussler is an kitchen counter FFL. I believe Don Gussler runs his business out of his garage, as the door opens and you walk into the front desk. Both times I did my FFL here, the transactions were quick, and the people working were knowledgeable. Gussler doesn't sell any actual firearms, but it's not a bad place to get transfers done. Pros: Prices for out of state transfers seem to be cheaper than any SD alternative. Staff is knowledgeable in all things that go boom. Cons: It's not a brick and mortar shop so don't expect brick and mortar shop hours. Would I use his service? For a PPT probably not since he isn't close to me, however out of state purchase I believe I would since his charges are definitely a lot less than others... read more

Gussler's - Store front is garage... - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Santee, California

My Mom's husband is retired military, also taught sharp shooters. A valuable gun he has owned was able to be shipped from AZ to CA with ease with the help of the nice people at Gusslers. I would recommend this business if you are needing to do such transactions which include new gun licensing services. Aside from my thoughts about the invention of the first weapon, (a blade) and why it happened, (a patriarchy set in collectively, ending early egalitarian mindset set in, within societies with the condoning of eliminating the practise of communication). See early neolithic times were good and then we became kinda chucked with an f not for frank) and putting aside my opinions on this (based on a depth of knowledge of how stupid humans had become) I highly recommend Gusslers! read more

Nice transaction, friendly and was a quick pick up. Very convenient. Definitely recommend!

Great service, informative, professional and helpful. A mom and pop shop with A plus service.

Awesome communication, very helpful and quick service. I'd go to them for any of my FFL needs from now on.

From the time I first did business here, I've now used Gussler's for almost two dozen firearms transactions from online purchases. Every time they've been great. I'll continue to send every online purchase here and will continue to recommend them to everyone I know doing the same. They are amongst the most cost effective and knowledgeable. I've always enjoyed sitting and talking to Don and his wife Susan while they processed my paperwork. They are good people and they absolutely deserve your business! read more

Don and Susan are great people. They are attentive and knowledgeable about guns and gun laws. If you need to complete a FFL transfer or a Private Party Transfer, this is the place to go. FYI, they are closed on Wednesdays. read more

My daughter and I had done business with Don and Susan for some years now. These folks are the best. Don has a wealth of knowledge regarding California laws and is willing to share. When I do business with them it's always a pleasure to get their thoughts on our 2nd Amendment laws as we know California is always changing. "GOT TO LOVE THOSE DEMOCRATS and ESPECIALLY OUR GOVERNOR".. Last but not least...."VOTE REPUBLICAN TO SAVE OUR 2ND AMENDMENT RIGHTS"...Finally...I would highly recommend Gussler's for all of your future needs. Thank You my friend for being there for us. Your Customer For Years To Come..... Don G read more

Great customer service. This place is great. I will be coming here again. The prices are the best in California I believe. These people are not doing this for the money, they are serving their community. They go out of their way to be helpful and I do not understand how anyone could complain about these people. read more

Mr. and Mrs. Gussler's are a fountain of knowledge and really great people that know the law you will always be safe to do business with them read more

Gussler's - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Santee, California

Gussler's is the absolute best FFL in town. He can be a bit of a grump, but hey, he deals with California laws on a daily basis, so I'd be a bit of a grump myself. Don is one of the most knowledgable guys I know in our sport/addiction and he's a straight shooter. Absolutely does not beat around the bush. Gussler's is the only place I do my transfers with. read more

Great service. Just don't recommend shipping ammo through them. It's $20 per box that's shipped through them. "Handling fee"

I first came to Don Gussler from AuctionArms when I purchased my first firearm online. Since then, I believe I've done close to 20 transfers through Don and can't imagine using anyone else. His prices are very competitive and he KNOWS guns, shooting and the ins and outs (and woes) associated with being a California firearms enthusiast. Great guy to know and do business with. read more

Mr. Gussler and his family clearly care about the second amendment and individual liberty. It definitely cannot be worth their time and effort for the amount they charged me in FFL fees, given the amount of paperwork required by the government of California. Thank you again Gussler family; I appreciate your time and help with my transfer. You make Santee and California a better place to live! read more

Just DROS two rifle with Gusslers with in the pass year. Never had problem and easy to deal with. It don't look like Turners or Big 5 but im a big supporter of small businesses. I bought both of my rifle and shot gun online from Atlantic Firearm and just got it shipped from Gusslers with no problem. Just a bit far from where I live but like I said I will support local small business anytime. For the other reviewers that will say this place is a Joke and wont even explain why, I think those reviews are a joke. read more

My first dealings with Don were great. I had purchased a rifle from the CMP and everything went smoothly. Don is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. read more

My [deceased] father used to be in the antique business and I am attempting to sell a lot of stuff leftover in his house. I came across a miniature 10-gauge Winchester Signal Cannon, which I knew nothing about. I stopped by Gussler's to see if he could enlighten me about this cannon, because I listed it on eBay and was getting a lot of technical questions from potential bidders. I showed the cannon to Mr. Gussler and he spent quite a bit of time examining it and explained what certain parts were. He even looked on YouTube and found a video demonstrating an identical cannon. He answered all my questions, which helped me tremendously, and I updated my eBay listing accordingly. When I asked if I owed him anything, he said no, so all this information was free. Thank you Mr. Gussler ! read more

Possibly the easiest way to buy a firearm in San Diego... During the pandemic I've purchased multiple handguns, ammo and rifles from various websites throughout the country and had them shipped to Gussler's with ZERO issues. Sure you pay a few extra very reasonable fees but it makes the process so much faster!!! If you're buying a gun off the internet this is the FFL dealer to have it shipped too. read more

Did an FFL transfer here, went smooth. Cute mom and pop type shop, rates are best in the county.

Ordered a cheap rifle online and had it sent to this place. It was easy enough to get done but not exactly a friendly interaction. I'm always very polite but the guy is obviously a curmudgeon. He asked what race I was claiming. Wtf does that mean? He answered a phone call in the middle of our interaction and then talked for 15 minutes. Clantee at its finest. read more
