I was a little nervous, going to a gun shop and buying my first gun. I have been to a few gunshots before and for some reason most of the places were a little rude and not very helpful.. These gentlemen actually listened to me gave me some advice showed me different guns.. and we're just so helpful and friendly. I will definitely be coming back now that I know that there is a place in Modesto that will help even someone as gun illiterate as me.. and I also felt the prices were more than fair. Thank you guys greatly appreciate all of your help.! read more

On Target Arms - Gun - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Modesto, California

Josh is very professional, very knowledgeable and friendly. I had a bad experience with On Target couple of years ago that's why I didn't come back. I'm glad that this time with Josh it changed the way I see about this place. This guy loved his job; He answers all my questions. I was looking around no intention to purchase anything but end up buying because of his great customer service. read more

The guys here at on Target arms are a great group of individuals that are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and personable. I have been here a few times with my first interaction needing my on duty firearm to be repaired within a day so I can have it for my shift the following day. Not only did they get it in right away and fix it, but they even gave me a great price on it. I was extremely happy with their service and the way they treat you. If you know nothing about firearms or if you're a master gunsmith, they still treat you the same and explain everything to you (you can't really say that for most gun shops). Most recently I had a very bad experience with a trigger job at a local gunsmith, who absolutely obliterated my firing control unit and left pieces out. I told the story to them at on Target arms and he said to bring it by and he would take a look at it. I brought it by the next day, and no joke, I would say less than two minutes while I was browsing their inventory He had it taken apart and fixed it on the spot. With everybody trying to make a quick buck and rip you off these days it's very nice to have genuine real people that are good at what they do and show respect to every customer. On Target arms will be my only gunsmith and gun store that I will patron for the rest of my years. Thanks again guys and keep up the great work. read more

These boys and gals here have always treated us good and directed us towards what we ask for and what wouldn't work Levi Jacob and others over great people in my book we've done some great business together.. thank y'all appreciate all your help haven't seen in awhile but do send folks your way.. read more

So how do I start: well for one I walked in for the first time with my pops and we were greeted by the guys who run the place, very nice guys, we talked shop on handgun calibers, recommendations for IWB holsters, even takes with another guy there looking at a pistol for his dad, the main reason my dad and I came into On Target Arms was to pick up my wedding present which was a Glock 17 Gen 3 pistol which my dad had ordered online and had it sent to a reliable local FFL and one of my good friends had recommended OTA, so once is came in everything was clear, even the pricing on 9mm ammo was great, worth the time and money for the visit. A satisfied customer here no doubt, plus great minds think alike! Expect me to return hopefully sooner than later when it comes to new cleaning kits, assembly mats, and replacement parts for when that time comes p.s. rifle fins are a pain in the rear lol read more

let me start out with the this, hands down an amazing shop, if they don't have it they will order quick at no other cost, they will match or beat other places, I was looking for a 44mag snub nose and I couldn't find 1 at the price I wanted and these guys found a brand new 1 for less than anyone else, both Isaac and Josh are amazing . On Target gets all of my and my relatives business as well unless they just don't sell it. check them out and you won't regret it. thank you for your amazing customers service and deals On Target .

So this will be the first of many for this store. First of all, I believe in supporting small business. So much that I went here and drove all the way from Fremont because the business responded to messages so quickly and was so positive I felt I should check it out. I stopped by for some ammo (bulk 9mm 1,000 rounds!). While we were there I just mentioned to Josh that my wife had just been to the range for the first time and that the M&P Shield proved to be challenging to rack. Josh confirmed that the slides are known to be harder and asked my wife if she wanted to give some other 9mm pistols a try so she could know how they feel. He took a lot of time and explained the difference between compact, sub compact, etc but more importantly just engaged her in what she felt was comfortable and felt best. He was NOT trying to sell her a firearm but rather just educating and selling her the idea of the right firearm. After 20 minutes, and her handling a Glock 26, Glock 19, CZ, M&P Sd, and Springfield XD, she fell head over heels for the XD. I would not have probably know all of these nearly as good as Josh, but this was a very good experience for my wife. I know it's a long review but it is worth the read. If you are going to buy a gun, you want to go to a place that treats everyone with this much care. We will be going back very soon to actually buy the XD... stay tuned. Better yet, go visit these folks. Well worth the drive and the time. Link for their Instagram below. This is how I found them: https://instagram.com/ontargetarms?utm_medium=copy_link read more

On Target Arms - 9mm (bulk ammo) during the pandemic? And fair pricing on top of that. - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Modesto, California

Great place! Guys are very knowledgeable and patient! I will be going here again and will let my co- workers know about this place as well. Great place to purchase ammo and guns especially if you're Law Enforcement. read more

I'm not sure what the deal is with these reviews, but I had a great experience. Gary and Josh, Jake, and the other fellow were very helpful. My first visit was awesome, and so has my recent visits. Who cares about the politics it beats driving to Manteca and dealing with the out of stock super stores. Highly recommended. I support local businesses no matter what political views they might have. God bless America.... read more

As a disciplined shooter I keep track of how I do on each range day with written notes. Now that I'm all done shooting for 2018 I totaled it all up. The results explain exactly why Andrew at On Target Arms is the man I go to when in need of a gunsmith. My best 3 range days of 2018 were with two guns that Andrew at On Target Arms had worked on. By "best" I mean my highest scores of the year, done with no malfunctions (aka no jams). How about my 3 worst range days of 2018? Two of them were done with one of the guns mentioned above, but before Andrew did the work on it to correct a number of problems. read more

Don't get your guns cerekoted work done here !!! Was quoted a price to get work done on my gun and it was $100 more than the price quoted !!! Not to mention I have to take my gun apart and sand the takedown pin to make it functional correctly!! If they will rip you off over something as simple as that they are not a legit spot ! Go to called2arms or Sierra arms corp n save your $$$$ read more

Having placed my initial order with Andy over the phone, and then coming in to the store to have the light/laser combo, grip and switches mounted on my shotgun, all I can say is service at On Target Arms is excellent! The guys here are friendly, and helpful. As I've mentioned before in other reviews, it can be a daunting experience for a woman in a gun store- especially when you're new to shooting- but not here. These guys are happy to answer your questions and get you what you need. If you need firearms and shooting gear, give this place a shot (ok, ok...that was a lame pun, I know...) read more

Great selection of both new and used! Great friendly and professional staff!! I would highly recommend this place for all your gun needs! read more

On Target Arms - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Modesto, California

See all

I love this shop! They have good prices and really know their stuff. Most importantly they don't treat you differently regardless of the color of your skin, unlike the racist "gun guys" down at Sierra arms. I love this shop and I will continue coming here and referring everyone to them until California's tyrants ruin this beautiful sport we all love! read more

Great staff & very knowledgeable. Very organized & well stocked supply. Will return again & again. Thank you read more

Ordered some 9mm online and they called me to inform me that my ammo had arrived (very professional). Me and my dad were warmly greeted when we entered and were helped with right away. Jake managed to help us out and showed us many well priced firearms that we were interested in. We never felt rushed and felt very welcomed at this shop. I highly recommend coming here and will continue to do business here. read more

Brought my pistol in for a trigger install, had a miscommunication resulting in perceived lack of respect or tactfulness, which resulted in the store gunsmith also installing a faulty front sight as a means of teaching me a lesson. This is a very dangerous thing to do and did compromise the performance of my firearm. When I returned, they were afraid of me. I will avoid any further action. read more

I first want to say that I am PRO 2nd amendment and I have been for over 7 years now, I am not one of these COVID customers just now buying a gun. With that said I don't understand that just because ammo is low that it gives the right to an establishment to hoard ammo and sell it at double/triple the price. I arrived at this store excited because I seen on social media they had ammo in stock and unfortunately social media guidelines you cannot post prices (I wish they did), I waited in line about 20-30mins to go in, just to be SHOCKED at the prices this establishment sells the ammo (ALL CALIBERS). I understand we are suppose to support OUR mom and pop shops but how are we supposed to support them when they are gouging "US" the people to purchase the items we need to protect our families. I will never return to this store and I highly recommend you don't visit them either because you will be wasting your time. I would definitely take the 20-30min drive to Manteca and go visit Bass Pro next time. #PewPew #WeThePeople read more

The staff was nice and most of them seemed pretty informed about guns. However, there is zero sense of urgency in customer service and no clue about mandated or internal processes so plan for an hour on average no matter why you are visiting. The systems are not standardized so every employee seems to do everything differently and they kind of quibble about it in front of customers and of course there is the typical condescension gun sellers have with anyone they consider less experienced than themselves. Prices seemed fair. If you have a lot of time on your hands go for it but for anyone that isn't retired and is used to any degree of expediency in service I'd skip this place. read more

1-9-2021 i went there today good prices very nice people & very friendly i will come back .

I has an issue with my take down pin on my rifle. I spoke with Mark on the phone and he was very helpful and said to bring it in. When I arrived I spoke with Andrew and he was very helpful. He fixed the problem and showed me what I was doing wrong. Not once did they make me feel dumb although it was a pretty simple issue. Not only did Andrew fix my rifle he didn't even charge me. The shop is a Class Act! I will definitely be back! read more

Extremely helpful group! I had my two year old and a three month old with me while making my purchase. Ended up needing some additional paperwork (my fault) so I had to run home. Had a few personal issues while gone causing me to be gone longer then expected but they had no issue with it at all. Got back to the paperwork being ready and smiling faces which was great being I wasn't having a good day. Katie and Andrew were very polite to both myself as well as my kids. Andrew knew a lot which helped me make my decision and Katie got me through my purchase and paperwork in a timely manner. Found my forever gun store. Thank you guys again! See you in ten days! read more

Wow now this is what you call customer service, all of the staff at On Target Arms are as kind and professional as it gets. All of my gun and permit related questions were answered with full detail. I will only be coming here for all my gun needs, and I would recommend this place to anyone in the Stanislaus area. The knowledge and expertise that the employees have here is incomparable to any gun shop I have been to in the past. Thanks again you guys are awesome. read more

OUTSTANDING!customer service. First time buyer,new shooter. They helped me get thru all the paperwork and red tape then even helped me after DOJ delay. Would still be in limbo if not for Andy. Will be reccomending then to friends and family. Have already been back myself twice. Good people, good business. read more

Very helpful and polite professional service I've only been in there a few times and they know me on a first name basis well I guess a little more than a few times but I feel that they provide the friendliest and professional service in Stanislaus county they are a small store but they have huge intentions on helping out their customers and making first time gun owners feel more at ease about their purchase I'm not putting down any other gun stores in Modesto but I feel that they are the best and I am satisfied with all my purchases from them if they are not with another customer at the moment talk to Jake Shockley or Josh Cargill or Levi Bradley there's a couple more but I don't have the greatest memory when it comes to names but they will gladly help you out especially if you are a first-time shooter I am not a first-time shooter on the other hand but I recently picked up a budget revolver in 22 caliber called the rough Rider by heritage arms and to me the price was great only $149 and build just as solid as a Ruger single six you can also shoot 22 mag rounds through it when you get your 22 mag cylinder in the mail for only 30 extra dollars I also got myself a nice k e arms AR-15 all California compliant without that ridiculous fin they set up everything for me and they got my paperwork done in no time no disrespect to called to arms or any other store for that matter but if you talk to any employees at on Target I do believe you will have all your questions answered in a timely manner without feeling stressed or nervous for a first time buyer like I said I am not but my friend I brought with me was and he purchased something new to him I was surprised that his experience changed his whole perspective on owning firearms he only had one little 22 handgun and now he owns multiple Glocks and is working on getting a nice carbine for a decent price but if you want to start your son or wife out with a fun little plinker I am enjoying my rough Rider very much with the ammo cost right now it is definitely one of my favorite purchases so if you want something affordable reliable good service I recommend hitting them up if you all don't hurry up and support your local gun stores we may all be in for it when it comes down to all these ridiculous firearm restrictions support your local gun shop not your corporate giant it helps all of us good law abiding citizens keep our rights and not to mention it is always a blast buying a new firearm pun intended hope you all get yourself a few nice setups before it's too late sincerely Tanner Norton read more

On Target Arms - Love the way that little 22 looks next to my full size Kimber - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Modesto, California

Modesto is very blessed to have a fun store with the guys here who run this shop. They are very helpful and care about doing the right thing. I called, and they answered. I bought stuff, and they answered my questions. I left feeling more overly satisfied. 5 star service! Just do your part also in being a good person and doing some of your own research on firearms handling before coming in. Also, understand that they only have available what they have and if they could help, they would. Logistics aren't the best with covid and low inventory from their distributors. read more

Nice group of guys walked in explained what I was looking for and they found it for me within a few minutes I love my lwrc m6 spr!!!! This will be my go to gun store from now on thanks guys read more

Horrible customer service, wanted to place an order was told it would be about 2 weeks by the owner himself!! I said ok let's do it, he then tells me that it's out of stock and he can't find it... wait a minute first you say you can get it then you look and you can't?? Why don't you try looking first before telling the customer you can get it!! I asked his name and he said "Levi" if that is even his true name, so I told him I just wanted to look around and he wouldn't leave me alone, kept trying to push guns on me to buy, hovered over me like some used car salesmen and had a cocky attitude, very unhappy with this shop.. not to mention NO INVENTORY and everything is "we can order it". Went to another shop and they said On Target Arms is gaining a bad bad reputation for dropping the ball on customers orders and etc... my opinion Don't shop there!!! read more

The guys were VERY helpful!!! It can be an intimidating experience, but they were very nice and eager to help. Will definitely be back for more! read more

I was in need of assistance with my AR 15 when the handguard was stuck. I brought in my gun and was met with Mark and Levi who assisted me and successfully fixed it for free even though I didnt buy my gun from them. This is now my new go to place for anything firearms. Great service! read more

Super helpful, no cocky attitude, and just very knowledgeable. Looking forward to being my one stop shop for all my firearm needs and wants.

This store does not treat you in a condescending manner like other gun stores. Andy and Eric and really great. I buy and collect guns all the time and have been to most gun stores in California. On Target Arms has the best and most professional staff. So if you want to be treated with respect and dignity I highly recommend On Target Arms! read more

I was looking around in my area to purchase a new gun and I decided on here. When entering I was greeted with a friendly smile and a hello. I purchased a Mossberg 500 for home defense. All questions I had were answered with no problems and the guys that work there are very nice and helpful. For sure will come back and do business again. read more

I went in to On Target Arms to inquire about a purchase. I was confronted with an associate behind the counter. That was very rude ! He was disrespectful, not helpful or welcoming at all. I left the store quickly as I could. I would never go back to On Target Arms. I was very offended by the way I was treated. One of the reason I choose them was because of their Great yelp reviews. I want to warn anyone planning on visiting this gun store, it's not as advertised on yelp. read more

Great gun shop. Great customer service. Levi and Andrew seem like genuinely good guys. Andrew provided great gun smithing at a low price. Definitely will be back. read more

Great service, reasonable prices, looking forward to doing further buisness here.

Great new shop with very friendly staff! Excellent gunsmith services and quick turn-around. Many gun shops can be intimidating to customers, especially when someone is new to the shooting sports. Andrew and the staff are all very willing to help everyone who stops by with great customer service! I have already made a few weapon purchases as well as two repairs and they have been patient and informative throughout the process. A great place for people new to the shooting sports or seasoned firearms enthusiasts. Support your local businesses! Stop by and check out their fantastic prices on the latest gear for your next trip to the shooting range or hunt. read more

This my gun store!!! Great environment and they do their best to get customers what that need ASAP. I have been to a lot of places to buy guns and they are by far, the best. Give them a shot. You won't be disappointed read more
