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.

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.

I recently purchased a Sig Sauer P322 from Alex at Riflenetics, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations from start to finish. From the moment I walked in, Alex was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in helping me find the right firearm rather than simply making a sale. He took the time to discuss the features of the P322 in detail, explaining what makes it stand out in the .22 LR pistol category. His familiarity with the platform was impressive, and he answered every question thoroughly without making me feel rushed. One thing I appreciated most was Alex's patience. He walked me through the pistol's controls, magazine design, sight options, and maintenance considerations. As someone who likes to understand exactly what I'm buying, I found his explanations extremely helpful. He was able to break down both the strengths and limitations of the firearm in a straightforward and honest manner. The Sig Sauer P322 itself has been an excellent purchase. The ergonomics feel great in hand, the controls are intuitive, and the overall fit and finish are what I've come to expect from Sig Sauer. Alex highlighted several features that ultimately influenced my decision, including the pistol's generous magazine capacity, optics-ready design, and reputation as a fun and affordable range pistol. The purchasing process was smooth and organized. Alex made sure all paperwork was handled correctly and clearly explained each step along the way. His attention to detail helped make the transaction stress-free and efficient. It's obvious that he values customer service and wants buyers to leave feeling informed and confident. What really stood out was the level of customer care after the sale. Alex encouraged me to reach out with any questions regarding operation, maintenance, or accessories. That kind of support is becoming increasingly rare and demonstrates a commitment to long-term customer relationships rather than one-time transactions. Overall, my experience buying a Sig Sauer P322 from Alex at Riflenetics was outstanding. The combination of excellent customer service, product knowledge, professionalism, and a smooth purchasing process made this one of the best firearm-buying experiences I've had. I would highly recommend Alex and Riflenetics to anyone looking for honest guidance, quality products, and exceptional customer service. read more

I also took my FSC test here, and the staff made everything clear and stress-free. A big shoutout to Alex, who helped me through the whole process--he was knowledgeable, patient, and really took the time to answer all of my questions. As a first-time buyer, I felt completely comfortable and confident thanks to his guidance. The store itself was clean, organized, and had a great selection. I'll definitely be coming back here for future purchases and highly recommend this place to anyone, especially first-time buyers looking for a professional and supportive experience. read more

This place is everything you want from a real-deal ammo store -- and then some. Owned by John, and operated with the help of Tony, these guys are like walking encyclopedias when it comes to firearms and ammunition. Seriously, they know their stuff inside and out. I came in looking for .308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 12 gauge defense rounds, and not only did they have it all, but the prices were the lowest I've seen anywhere in California -- and I've shopped around a lot. What really stood out was Tony. He didn't just point me to a shelf and call it a day -- he took the time to walk me through their entire inventory, explaining the differences between brands, bullet weights, and even showing me some of their exotic and hard-to-find ammunition. (Spoiler: They have some seriously cool stuff.) On top of that, Ammo Guy stocks military surplus ammo from all over the world, which is a rare find these days. Whether you're a seasoned shooter, a collector, or just getting started, this place has something for you. Fair warning: You'll probably end up spending more time than you planned because there's so much to see and learn. And honestly? That's part of the fun. Do yourself a favor -- skip the big box stores and support a local business that actually cares about its customers. Ammo Guy gets a solid 5 stars from me, and I'll be back for sure!
