Buyer Beware (0 stars if possible)…read more I had a very negative experience with Davis Gun Worx and would strongly caution others before doing business here. On January 29, I called about having Magpul furniture installed on my Maverick 88 shotgun. I was told it would be a simple job and take less than an hour. I dropped the firearm off in person on January 30. At that time, I was told he had just returned from SHOT Show and was busy, but to give him two days and call back. After two days, I began calling and could not get a response. I attempted to contact him repeatedly on February 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, and 11. I was only able to reach him once, and during that call he told me it would be another two days because he was still busy. I never received a return call, and all follow-up communication had to be initiated by me. I even went to the business location during posted business hours. The "open" sign was on, but no one answered the door. At that point (Feb 12th), my firearm had been in his possession far longer than the quoted timeframe with no communication, so I contacted the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department. When deputies called him, he answered immediately. However, when I called him right afterward, he became hostile and aggressive, demanding I pick up the firearm immediately because he no longer wanted it on his property. He also told the deputy that I had dropped the firearm off only a week prior and that he had informed me he needed to order parts. That is not accurate. I was told twice it would take two days, and I was never informed that parts needed to be ordered. Because of his hostility on the phone, I requested deputies be present when retrieving my firearm. When it was returned (Feb 13th), the barrel, the bag I brought it in, and the flashlight I intended to have installed were not returned with it. I will now have to go through small claims court to hopefully retrieve my property. Between the lack of communication, the extended possession of my property, the lies told to law enforcement, and the missing items, this was an extremely unprofessional and concerning experience. I would strongly advise others to proceed with caution. Communication and professionalism are essential in this industry, and that is not the experience I had AT ALL.

I highly recommend Davis Gunworx.

He has decades of experience in the industry, truly knows his business, and is extremely knowledgeable about firearms, laws, regulations, and restrictions. What impressed me most is that Ralph genuinely loves what he does. He is very generous with his time and expertise, teaches shooting effectively, and provides professional services with a level of care that is hard to find. He is not focused on making money--he keeps his prices very reasonable and always tries to help his customers as much as possible. Ralph takes the law and compliance very seriously, and I really appreciate how professional and responsible he is. His service is excellent, and he goes above and beyond for his customers. He also works with professionals and public safety personnel, which speaks to the level of trust and experience he has earned. I would absolutely recommend Ralph to my friends and anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable FFL. I would definitely reach out to him again if I ever need his services. Honestly, I wish I could give him more than five stars. He deserves 10 stars for going above and beyond!

The shotgun was in good order but the handgun had been taken down and was missing its guide-rod and one of the two magazines. Those were easily replaced by me. My issue with Ralph is now closed but I cannot recommend him. Ralph didn't do his job but instead initiated an unfortunate series of events that cost me time, money, and energy.

I finally decided it was time to stop being nervous and actually go to the range. After reading the reviews, I decided to check this place out, and I'm really glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and very helpful. I told them it was my first time at the range, and they took the time to explain everything, answer my questions, and help me get set up. That made a huge difference because walking into a range as a newbie can feel a little intimidating. Once I got to my lane, I was only there for about 30 minutes, but I enjoyed every minute of it. My confidence definitely grew, and I left feeling way more comfortable than when I walked in. Overall, great first experience. Friendly staff, helpful guidance, and a welcoming environment for beginners. I'm looking forward to coming back for more practice -- and this time, I promise I won't wait another two years.
