Great experience overall. This was my first firearm purchase in California and I found a good deal…read moreon a used Beretta 92F that they had on consignment with original box and paperwork. The guys there knew their stuff and made the process as quick and painless as possible (considering California's laws, lol.) The gun did not come with mags unfortunately since the original owner had it since before CA limited mags to 10 rounds, so the original mags could not be sold. Luckily they had what I needed so I left with 2 new mags and a couple boxes of FMJ to test out at the range. Will return for my next firearm purchase

Course taken: Beginner Pistol Training Course…read more Summary: 2-day course. First day was in the office where topics were covered via PowerPoint presentation and Pete allowed us to do dry firing with airsoft guns. Second day was at the range for about 1.5hr where he taught us safe operation (i.e. grip, stance, aiming, accuracy, loading, unloading). Special remarks: Pete's dedication to gun safety and safe gun operation is apparent in the way he teaches. He is passionate about safety and an enthusiastic teacher which made the class fun. One of his most valuable strengths is that he was able to teach in a way that I could understand. (Side note: I am afraid of guns but took this class to combat that fear!) Pete was able to keep the class engaged, provided constructive feedback, and attention to detail. With his guidance and support, I was able to see a significant improvement in my grouping and decrease my fear of guns overall. Also, I made new friends in the class :) **I will be returning for other classes. Definitely recommend.

He's polite, helpful, and supportive and he really helped me learn very helpful safe handling and technique. Honestly the value of the class was very worth it for the knowledge I gained and the practice and training I received. I would definitely recommend this business if you are looking to learn real life applications of your training and not just read a book.

I had a very disappointing experience with Walser's Gun Shop. I ordered ammunition from out of…read morestate (Kentucky), where no sales tax was charged, and had it shipped to Walser's for pickup. Upon arrival, I was hit with a laundry list of unexpected and questionable fees: 1. 10% Sales Tax - Understandable since I'm in California. 2. 11% Excise Tax - This is absolutely not supposed to be charged directly to the customer. Excise tax is a federal tax paid by the manufacturer or importer and is already built into the price of ammunition. Charging me this separately is either a mistake or outright dishonest. 3. $15 Transfer Fee - Understandable. 4. $1 DOJ Ammunition Fee - This fee is legitimate. When I asked why I was being charged excise tax, I got an explanation that didn't make sense. It seems like Walser's is either unaware of how excise tax works or deliberately overcharging their customers. I will be filing a formal complaint with both the ATF and the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) to address this issue. Charging customers improperly like this is unacceptable. This experience felt like a blatant money grab, and I won't be coming back. If you value transparency and fair treatment, I'd recommend going elsewhere. Save yourself the frustration.

I'm done with Red Rifle. I brought in my M&P 2.0 slide/barrel and specifically requested V‑porting…read morenear the front sight. Instead, they cut a huge center mid‑slide/barrel port, the exact opposite of what I asked for, permanently damaging the slide and barrel. Jack's attitude when I arrived only made it worse but at the time I had patience. I also paid $85 for a simple KS7 bolt removal. Instead of just removing the bolt, they returned my shotgun fully disassembled, forcing me to come back twice because I couldn't reassemble it. I didn't need a demonstration, I ONLY needed the bolt off my shotgun barrel. Also, he claimed the bolt was aftermarket when I JUST bought this KS7 NEW. Then I bought an ATN ThOR 6 Elite from Jack. Days later, ATNcorp.com dropped the price from $3,799 to $2,595. When I called to work out a solution, Red Rifle refused to help, claimed it was "too complicated," and demanded a 20% restocking fee. No flexibility, no negotiation just "policy." Jack even said neither he nor his wholesaler cared about the manufacturer's price drop. He refunded me $3,670 out of $4,329, five days after purchase, and the scope never even left his store. When I went in for the refund, I was respectful and even addressed Jack as "sir." He still got irritated because I asked twice whether he needed my card. Then he questioned why I was calling him "sir" and whether I "didn't want to do business anymore," as if my future spending determined how fairly he'd treat me. Instead of processing the refund normally, he said he had to issue a physical check, adding yet another delay to a situation he already mishandled. Jack has also made inappropriate comments in the past about which customers "drop money" in his shop and whether a friend I planned to refer would be "the type" to spend that much. I was ready to send someone in for a full .338 Lapua Rifle setup, now I wouldn't refer anyone here. Jack starts off friendly, joking, casual, talkative; but it doesn't last. His attitude flips fast, and the unprofessional side comes out, sometimes toward customers, sometimes toward his own employees when work is done incorrectly. Either way, it affects how problems are handled. After thousands spent here - and it could have been tens of thousands more, I expected better. Instead, I got sloppy work, poor communication, and a shop that refuses to stand behind its mistakes. I won't be returning, and I don't recommend trusting them with gunsmithing or high‑dollar purchases. Lastly, Jack told me to message him on Instagram if I had questions. Today, he complained in front of other customers while I was on the phone with him that I'm the only person who DMs him "so much," and claimed he "answered all my questions" before saying I wouldn't answer any of his. None of that was true. At this point, he just drains your time and patience.

You could literally be waiting an hour or more. They are hopelesssly understaffed or mismanaged because there has been no discernable improvement. It's like they don't want your money. I just called to see if they had a particular model of binocular and the guy said he'd put me on hold at the gun counter and someone could help me at some point, so likley an hour or more wait. Go anywhere else. Don't support places like this that seem to hate their customers. CAP Tactical is just a few blocks away and there is never a wait.

Compared to going to that other shop (don't want to keep giving them shoutouts) where you have to take a number and then wait an indefinite amount of time to be helped by someone who seems disinterested in helping you (and have to do that again when you come back after the 10 days have passed), Prime Kinetic Solutions is superior. They are by appointment only, which is fantastic. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. It took literally 1/8th of the time that it took at the other place to get everything done. If you are in the market, I would highly recommend you consider Prime Kinetic Solutions. They have whatever you need (or can get it), the prices are competitive and they know their stuff. Don't forget to call to make an appointment. ps and don't be late! ;)
