I met with Josh, one of the owners, and he was very helpful and informative. He knows his guns, and he'll take very good care of you. He will even offer you a cold soda of your choice while you shop. This store also has a discount card for one of the local shooting ranges, and also for the smoke shop right next door. Whether you're looking for your first gun, and have questions and need recommendations, or if you're a long time owner, this is definitely the place to shop for your firearms and ammo needs.

I want to give a huge shout-out to Wood River L&T., especially Lucio. He is an amazing guy with a…read moregreat personality, extremely friendly, and very knowledgeable. I needed someone to fit a barrel for my Beretta DT11, and unfortunately, there was no one available near me in San Jose who could do the work. I was referred to Lucio by multiple people, and every recommendation pointed me in the same direction: "Go see Lucio." He came highly recommended, and after hearing so many great things about him, I didn't hesitate to make the drive. I ended up making the roughly six-hour drive that same night, had Lucio fit my barrel, and then drove straight back home. The entire experience was excellent from start to finish. He knew exactly what he was doing, took care of the work, and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I would not hesitate to make the trip again or recommend Lucio to anyone looking for quality work and someone they can trust. If you need work done on your firearm, Lucio is definitely someone worth seeing. Great guy, great service, and a great experience all around!

First time buyer and also I did my FSC here…read more This was the closest gun store and I was interested in having my own firearm. I did some research myself and have gone to ranges so I had an idea of what I wanted and what I needed to do. When I arrived, the store is in a small lot and looks a bit hidden and old. Only one room I think had AC but that was where I took my test and spent my whole time in. It's not very assuming or a luxurious place, but it has a charm and very honest feel to it. The staff there were friendly, patient, and helpful (The 2 ladies that helped me were, Tami and I didn't get the name of the other lady, but she felt like the owner). They were both very knowledgeable, honest, and transparent with their answers and recommendations, and I didn't feel pressured for anything. I was given a few firearms to try that I talked to them about and a few that they recommended. They also said anything that they did not have in store, they could order for me and did their best to accommodate or find something similar for me to feel out. They had a wide assortment of firearms, at least in my eyes, and what they kept stocked made sense. I didn't look through the whole store and everything they had, but I will tomorrow. From what I browsed and saw while I walked in and around, they have many standard picks and accessories that make sense to get in person, and a few interesting pieces. Larger items or more common items, like safes, they were very transparent and said they did not stock and that it's better to find one online, which made sense business wise. I like that they understood what is feasible for them to stock and what not to; both for their interest of keeping their inventory moving, but also to not peddle something that the customer wouldn't want or be satisfied with. I was shown everything in great detail and kindly. I made my purchase and was given instruction on what to do, what to expect, and a time frame for when I can pick things up. For my FSC, I got clear instruction, some helpful preface, and then the paperwork was straightforward and simple. I was guided for it to be as smooth as possible. I got my card and everything done and the prices were as expected and fair. I will update my review if anything changes, but considering the positive experience and friendliness of the staff, I don't think I will have anything to update. I don't know enough about prices for different models and ammo to split hairs on that, and this is a local small business, so it doesn't make sense coming here with the expectation of below market prices. The price range on the models I looked at seemed to be around the ballpark range of what I saw online for MSRP. I'm sure you could look around and get quotes to find things cheaper, but considering this is a local business and near me, I'm not coming here to try to haggle for the lowest price. I care more for the experience and personal interaction. With that said though, I also don't like small businesses that don't keep prices competitive with the rest of the market. I think this business does a fair job with it. As I mentioned before, the items I looked at, I did some research on, and the prices were in the ballpark of what I saw online which is a great indication. For what I purchased, it came as a set and luckily for me, was also on sale, so I feel my purchase was actually on the better price range.

I explained when i picked up my gun the gunsmith told me i can get 1 free clean once i break it in. And they just kept saying i was wrong. Only free cleans when buying from them. Which left me very disappointed due to being lied to when I first left the shop. I guess the shop does not stick too their word. Its okay. Never coming back or doing transfers with them.

Can't help but give this store 5 stars. I've been coming here for the past year. Phil, Adam, and…read morePete are fantastic. Great group of guys who are very knowledgeable and helpful. They definitely take the time to answer all of your questions and provide you with the perfect information in making a purchase. I've seen them go out of their way to help first time buyers in making the correct decision when purchasing a new firearm. Most other gun stores are not usually patient with first time buyers because they're looking to make a quick sale. Those other gun stores tend to sell the new gun owner something far more expensive than they want or an item that they may not be able to handle safely just to make a sale. So, if your looking to make a first time purchase or add to what you already have, please give this store a try. They have a great selection of merchandise in stock at very good prices. They have a great selection of consignment items in stock as well. If you don't see what you are looking for just ask and they will get it for you.

What better place than a local shop who specializes in targets and supplies numerous police departments. I got to meet Arthur who was such a cool person to talk to and get advice about shooting.

I ended up getting the BT-5SB3 Shooting Target Variety Pack along with two boxes of clay pigeons and their B 27E targets. The BT 5SB3 worked very well you can see your shots through the paper.
