I've only gone in here a couple times but the dude who runs this place is hilarious AF. I can see how he might not be everybody's cup of coffee -- but for me, I think he's awesome. He reminds me of my grandfather. First time I ever went in here he was looking for something for me, tripped over a box of something and let out a string of profanities -- I laughed my butt off. Other people didn't seem to enjoy it. Guy has decent prices, not high or low. About average. Coffees pretty damn good too. read more

Living on the Gulf Coast, you'd be foolish not to be "prepared" for a natural disaster, such as a hurricane sweeping across your city. New Orleans is a valuable lesson to live by. Well, if you're looking for foods with a long-term shelf life or ideas on what you would need to survive a week, two weeks, even MONTHS with no electricity or running water, you should stop here and take a look. The owner is very knowledgable on the products he sells as well as preparation needs. He gave us great advice on the storage of water and on the best foods to keep on hand should city services or commercial conveniences not be available for a while. If you want to get a kick, check out the "can-o'-bacon"!! Yeah, it's a little pricey, but it's 2 1/2 - 3 lbs worth of REAL bacon preserved to last FIVE YEARS! There's a HUGE variety of freeze dried and dehydrated foods stored in cans that will last up to 25 years. They've also got ready "kits" of different foods. The prices are only slightly higher to what's available online but, that's okay, I don't mind paying a little more to shop local. You can't beat the service and convenience like this online. They've also got medical kits, water purification stuff, self-defense and preservation equipment. It's a great little store - a good, local place to start with your prepping needs. We'll be regular customers - and, yes, we ARE customers; not affiliated in any way with the owner. I just think he's smart and feel his store is valuable to our location. Hope it takes off. read more

Ready Reserves - Some of the products we bought. - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Great gun store, reasonable prices, and nice people! They also serve good coffee. Literally, the best gun store in Corpus Christi.

When I picked up my handgun, this tall white guy told me, "Pay me my money and we're done. Needless to say, I have never set foot in that ragged gun shop since. It sickens me that no matter how kind you are to some people, they remind you of how much your presence disturbs them just from the sight of you. My middle finger to you, sir. That is why the 11 people who asked me about my experience with you REFUSE to shop there. BITE ME!! read more

Ready Reserves in Corpus Christi, Texas, is a great place for the pursuit of a firearm. Customer service was outstanding! Hours of operation are perfect! and the coffee is phenomenal! This is the time of the COVID-19 pandemic and the shop is still in full operation! They are still taking precaution with sanitization and medical face mask. I want to thank the owner and the employees for their time and service, bless you all. read more

Great Gem tucked away on Corona Drive! If you enjoy good conversation, food, survival items, and a nice little diner this is the place! The owner and his daughter are great people that have mastered the art of customer service. No pressure to buy, no pressure to do anything. They answer questions, and have a wealth of knowledge. If they do not know the answer, they will get the answer for you. If they do not have a product, will get it for you. Highly recommended! Oh yeah great sandwiches. read more

I've bought a few guns from this shop, great interactions every time, they threw some ammo in with a used gun I bought from them once, the owner and his wife and daughter run the place IIRC, they are all very thoughtful people, they remember you when you come in. Lots of interesting people hanging around the shop, you can get hung up there for hours talking to people if you aren't careful. Lots of nifty survival gear in stock in the store, but this place really stands out with it's online inventory. read more

Very good gun shop. Owner is great and works with you. This shop takes care of military members. If they don't have it they will order it for you. I'll be back again! read more

This is the place to go for shelf stable food stores, gear, and knowledge to back up their sales. They don't just sell products, they can help you make intelligent decisions about how to fill your needs. I didn't see ANY "fluff" junk items. Everything is top rated and quality material. You can get burned when buying something blind over the internet but at Ready Reserves you can put your hands on it before you buy. read more

Just good stuff and good service at good prices. What more can you ask. The store help are knowledgeable of what they sell too. I've been in some stores where the help needs more help than the customers. NOT here. Great store. read more
