Got recommended this store and was not disappointed. Brett was extremely helpful and thorough with his knowledge and answers for my first firearm purchase, FSC renewal and FSC for my wife. He made the experience smooth and easy. From the moment you walk in, you can just tell that this is a top notch shop and has high quality service. read more

Ended up shopping here because I found the guns I was looking for on their website. I haven't been here before and it's also been a while since I purchased a firearm, so since it's pretty far from where I live, I called ahead to ask what documents I needed and what they accept as secondary proof of residency. I feel like that can vary from shop to shop, so I wanted to make sure I came prepared. I didn't realize how busy this place gets. I walked in and checked in at the door using the laptop, and there were about 10 people or parties ahead of me. I ended up waiting around 30 to 40 minutes, which wasn't too bad considering how busy they were. Andre helped me with everything and made the process pretty easy. I took the FSC test there, and he was also super helpful when I was deciding which Beretta I wanted. Overall, it was a really good experience purchasing a firearm here. Pickup was just as easy. I went when they opened and there was no wait, even though I had an appointment scheduled for a later time. I was in and out pretty quickly, which was nice. My only complaint is more about the customers than the store. If you're planning to purchase a firearm, I'd recommend doing some research beforehand on what documents you need and whether you're legally able to purchase one. I saw someone spend quite a bit of time looking at different pistols and optics, only to find out they couldn't make a purchase. I feel like knowing this ahead of time would save both the customer and employees some time. One thing to keep in mind is that they do have an appointment system, and you can also join the virtual line through their website. I didn't know that before going, so definitely something I'll take advantage of next time. Overall, really good experience and I'll definitely be coming back. read more

This place has definitely changed for the better! The first time I came here, I honestly wasn't a fan. The wait was ridiculously long, and let's just say some of the employees seemed pretty impressed with themselves. I left thinking, "Yeah...probably not coming back." But a friend told me they had changed their system, so I decided to give them another shot and I'm glad I did. You can now make a reservation for your DROS and firearm pickup, which makes the whole process SO much smoother. No more wondering if you should've packed lunch and a sleeping bag for the wait. Even better, the staff has become much friendlier and more welcoming. It really feels like they listened to customer feedback and made some major improvements. Huge difference from my first experience. I'd definitely come back now. Glad I gave them a second chance! read more

Rifle Gear delivers an outstanding experience from the moment you walk through the door. Brett, Dustin, Jason, and Nick were exceptional, but Brett truly made my first firearm purchase unforgettable. What I expected to be an intimidating process turned into an educational, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable experience. The entire team is systematic, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. You're greeted with a warm welcome the moment you enter, and that positive energy and vibe carries through the entire visit. Rifle Gear sets the standard for what a gun store should be: professional, approachable, and committed to helping customers feel confident and informed. I highly recommend Rifle Gear for any firearm or ammo purchase. Thank you Brett and Team for making this milestone such a memorable experience. read more

Amazing shop, well stocked! Knowledgeable staff. Amazing customer service. The overall cleanliness and floor plan, 10 stars! I dropped in and asked for a holosun 510c I seen they had in stock online. It was on the counter in less than 2 minutes. I said I'll take it. Before I paid the staff member was unboxing it as it was brand new, performed an inspection and then allowed me to inspect it for any faults as well. .. I will be back this weekend, tested the waters and now my cart is full of items lol read more

This was my first time stopping in. Was very impressed with the layout and how organized, neat, and clean the store was. Many times firearms retail employees are very gruff and "know it all" types. I have experienced this more often than not. This was not the case at RifleGear. Ivan helped show me a pistol and explained all the features of this newer weapons system. He was very knowledgeable and personable. I purchased the gun and this was my first time completing all the DROS paperwork via a computer tablet. Much of the information was pre populated after scanning my CDL. It was a much easier process compared to the old paper form. They have an excellent selection of both handguns and long guns here. would highly recommend and they even had a nice and clean restroom. I'll be back. ***Update** when I returned after 10 day waiting period Dustin helped me out. Super nice young man and knowledgeable about upgrades to new weapons system. Left my new gun for optic plate, optic, and magwell install along with another pistol that needed an armorer due to light primer strikes. Heard back from armorer few days later that all good and ready for pickup. Very pleased with Riflegear and the excellent service. read more

I've been a customer since 2016. Probably the best prices for your firearm needs. The service is always professional.

The most recent experience I've had with them has been most disappointing. After making an online purchase I called the shop to ask if I can come in to pick it up and they assured me yes. I drove over the following morning and was told my order was still pending though they had it in the store and I handled it and was told to come back after the credit transaction cleared in a few days. In the mean time this highly sought after item popped up cheaper at another LGS but Rifle Gear already billed my credit card and I was assured they would hold it for me so i passed up the cheaper offer. A few days go by and I ask about my order and they tell me they've already sold the item that was for me and I now had to wait for the next arrival which no one knows when it would be in. So now I can't even get it at either place since it sold out at cheaper LGS I had the opportunity to get at. Very frustrating and disappointed with this recent experience with them. read more

Wow, I had not been here in a long long time. I came inside just to purchase some more bullets for my rifles. I just want to stay up on my ammo for all of my guns that I own. Good prices and discounts they have for customers sometimes. Nice service and good people here at RifleGear. Its good to be back again. read more

This place is amazing from first time buyers perspective Brett was an absolute gem when it came to the question I asked to helping me choose what was fit to me no rush seemed like he was genuinely interested in helping and guiding walked out with my first gun will definitely return again thanks Brett and rifle gear team you guys are awesome read more

I rarely write reviews, but RifleGear has earned this one. I've been a customer for years and have never had anything but great experiences with their team. Everyone is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely eager to help. Recently, I brought in a rifle upper for repair. When the turnaround took longer than expected, they waived all the fees, and when I got it back, it looked better than new. That level of customer service is hard to find these days. Victor, I truly appreciate your help. The gunsmiths do exceptional work, and the repair was flawless. Between their customer service, integrity, and craftsmanship, RifleGear continues to set the standard. If it were up to me, everyone there would be getting a raise. Highly recommend. read more

Great service on everything I went in for. Brett was awesome, helped with the stuff I needed. Will be back here for sure.

Came by the store after work to check out some firearms I was interested in purchasing. Laurentius was extremely helpful and took the time to answer all my questions. He made sure I found the right gun for my needs and even explained some of the new laws that have recently passed. The store now has a new system for filling out forms from when I last visited last year, which was quick and easy. I ended up purchasing two!!! firearm Laurentius recommended. I highly recommend his assistance and the store overall! Can't wait to pick them up! read more

I probably should've written this review a while ago for past purchases, but today I picked up my existing Ruger GP-100 with the new Gemini Customs front fiber-optic sight that RifleGear installed for me. My older eyes had trouble picking up the factory fixed black front sight, so this upgrade makes a huge difference. I've replaced sights on my Glocks using the MGW sight tool, but the GP-100 revolver is a different story. Besides punching out the tiny pin (not a big deal), the replacement sight requires drilling a new hole, and I didn't trust myself to do that without risking damage. If you try and drop the new sight in and drilling a new hole through, you'll most likely ream the hole and remove material. I'm glad I left it to the professionals. RifleGear's gunsmith installed it perfectly, and the revolver came back like a brand new firearm. Turnaround time was only a few days. I've purchased more than half a dozen firearms from RifleGear over the years and have always had great service and prices. This was my first time using their gunsmithing service, and I won't hesitate to use it again. Thank you, RifleGear! read more

I scoured all of LA county and OC county for a hellcat pro and this was the only shop that carried it. Best of all, they also had the springfield armory promotion available too. Laurentius helped me and the process was smooth. I was able to pick up my gun after the 10 day holding period without any issues using my real ID and fishing license. Side note, they have some decent inventory available. I saw WASR and Zastava ZPAP aks for sale. Didn't check the price but at least they carry decent entry level ak platforms compared to other shops. read more

Great selection. Getting help was quick and easy. Ivan's a cool dude. Reviews need at least 85 characters so here's a recipe for blueberry muffins: -all-purpose flour -sugar -baking powder -salt -butter (or oil) -eggs -milk (or buttermilk/sour cream) -fresh or frozen blueberries. read more

I was searching for somewhere that sold a specific brand of firearm because I was having trigger issues with mine. I found RifleGear on yelp. I went in and talked with Ivan who was extremely helpful and understood the problem I was having. He gave me some suggestions and it certainly was good advice. I sent my 9mm back to the manufacturer and they replaced the faulty trigger and sent it back within a couple of weeks. Ivan saved me over $300 because I was ready do give up on fixing the issue myself and just buy a new trigger. Also, while I was there Ivan took the same model as mine out of the display which was $20 cheaper than what I paid for it. read more

I brought my wife to RifleGear because I thought they were great when I purchased my own firearm 5 years ago. Dustin assisted us and he was as friendly and helpful as can be in showing her a selection and explaining the features so she could make a decision. I'll be returning again soon and can't say enough nice things about Dustin. Thanks again! read more

I left a review on Google, but want to leave another review here on Yelp. The service was smooth and fast, there was waitlist once you walk into the store and I was helped almost immediately after signing into the waitlist. I was in and out of the store in less than 30 minutes. Ivan helped me purchase my first firearm and it was fast and efficient. They have a variety of a selection and to choose from with the best prices as well! I am from Anaheim and drove down here because I read about the reviews and the prices were the best. Turner's wanted an additional $40-$50 for the same firearm that I wanted. I will definitely be back if I want to purchase another firearm. read more

This review was for the purchases of the FN SCAR 16 5.56 and the FN SCAR 17 308. many years ago. During that time the store was packed as usual with customers and we had to wait approximately an hour with all the people in front of us. Everyone had to get a ticket before being served. That's how crazy was the lines of people were coming into RifleGear. But the staff has always been professional and never had any attitudes with any customers that l've came across. The transaction for the guns was smooth and professional. Always a pleasure to work with RifleGear. read more

Shopped around online and saw that they had some good prices and ammo and decided to go check it out for the first time. Immediately once you enter the store, there is a laptop to the left where you can put your name down in the waitlist to be seen. At the time I arrived around noon, there were only 2 people in front in the waitlist. It took about 5-10 min for me to get called and I found the exact ammo I wanted. I was helped by Dustin and he was very welcoming as it was my first time. Purchasing was seamless except for some printer issues but that was no big deal. I was in and out with what I wanted and it didn't take too long as well. I will definitely be coming back in the future. read more

09/08/2023 I was interested in a Ruger handgun that recently was added to the California Handgun Roster. Rifle Gear was out of stock so I added my email to be notified of available stock. I received the email on 09/01 but didn't check my email till 09/02, I quickly jumped onto their website to check the quantity, great they had 5 in stock. With gas prices over $5 a gallon, I was debating whether to come here or go to Turner's in Pasadena. Turner's had the gun for $10 more but they were out of stock, so that evening I checked the in stock quantity at Rifle Gear again. Oh crap they had 2 left, so I made an online purchase to be picked up at Rifle Gear Fountain Valley. During the check out I totally forgot to put in the 5% discount code for Labor Day Sale. To my surprise the discount was automatically added because I bought it during the sale. Now that's great service! When I came in to do my DROS I was surprised again it was only $37.19 for the DROS nothing more. Not the Bull Shit $7.00 fee that Turner's charge for a Paperwork Fee. Okay see you guys in 2 weeks. read more

I've been coming here since I started owning a firearm. Service has not changed since, top notch customer service pros at the counter. Hence, the reason why at times, there are wait times because they are always busy. Patience is a must! read more

Ivan was friendly, efficient, knowledgeable, and helpful. I've always had great service here. Highly recommend!

Did a PPT at Riflegear today as we move on to a new year. Ryan was super fast and efficient and was speaking on some of the new changes made to laws this year. Was impressed with the new iPad on dros paperwork and was able to pick up quality parts at reasonable price. read more

I've been coming here more times than I can count and it has been my favorite gun shop in OC until today. I was profiled my an employee named Ivan who was extremely rude and argumentative. I let him know that I was there to purchase ammo which I have done several times at Rifle Gear. Instead of showing me their ammo inventory on the computer, he immediately asks for my ID. I ask him why he needs my ID if I haven't even made an ammo selection in order to start the background check. He said they always ask you for ID up front to make sure you have all the identification needed so that nobody's time is wasted. I replied stating that I have been coming to Rifle Gear and other gun stores for a long time and not once has anyone asked me for ID until it's time to do the background check. I let him know that I've bought ammo at several gun stores and I have all the required documentation with me. He was still persistent on needing my ID up front BEFORE showing me the inventory on the computer. Man I gotta say I've never had anyone look so long and hard at my ID and Passport. Even walking to the copy machine he was still checking them out and bending the ID. I purchased just $20 worth of ammo which is pretty much nothing compared to what I actually needed just to prove to him that I'm a legit law abiding citizen who can pass a background check. Just because we have tattoo's or look a certain way doesn't mean you need to judge and profile someone. I hope he sees this and treats customers better in the future. From this point forward I'll be taking my business elsewhere. read more

I went in to shop around for my CCW firearm and was helped by Jacob. He was very informative, knowledgeable and professional throughout. Jacob provided tons of advice and showed me several pistols that fit my needs along with all the pros/cons for each so I can make my own sound decision. I was able to decide on one thanks to his feedback and opinions. The shop was clean, stocked and easy to find. Their prices are very competitive and typically the lowest for firearms around the area. There's a waitlist upon entering where you sign up with their provided laptop or you can scan a QR code. The process from beginning to end was straightforward. Thanks to Jacob for being attentive and providing great customer service! read more

Once again not disappointed at all with the quality of service and knowledge . Brett has helped me the last few visit the store and makes the experience of purchasing a firearm easy and comfortable. read more

I recently purchased a .357 Magnum at this location, and I was impressed. The store has a nice layout, and a check in system for when they are busy. The staff all seemed to know their stuff and were very helpful. They have a large selection of guns and ammo, and you can check their website to see what they have in stock. Fountain Valley has one of the highest sales taxes in the area, so that is the only downside of this location. The shop itself is great though. read more

The folk here at RifleGear are fantastic, service is excellent. If in doubt about how busy they are there's a virtual queue system where you can make an appointment before going in to ensure you won't have to wait around. The selection that they have is very good, in my opinion, and is updated fairly regularly. The prices are online what other stores or if not slightly better. I've been going to RifleGear since 2012 and I continue to recommend them to anyone that is looking for the services and products that they provide. read more

I was looking into purchasing an AR15 and heard good things about this place through a friend of mine. I came in this past weekend and Devin assisted me when I walked in. He was super knowledgeable, friendly, and answered all my questions. I wanted a featureless build to be California compliance, and while they could have done that for an extra $200 on the AR I wanted , Devin went the extra mile and let me know they had it in stock at their Texas location. He suggested I just order it and have it shipped to the store, saving me extra costs. I offered to buy from him directly to ensure he got the commission, but he told me none of the employees get commission (which I think is unfortunate). Still, he genuinely cared about helping me, and he deserves to be recognized for his excellent customer service. I'll be ordering this week and highly recommend anyone looking to purchase a firearm to speak with Devin at Rifle Gear. A+++ read more
