Security Equipment Corp: One of My Favorite Island Firearm Distributors This review is long over due because I been a loyal customer for six years. Customer service at the Security Equipment Corp is excellent. The staff is both friendly and very helpful in providing information on firearms on inventory, consignment availability, and upcoming on-island gun shows. This is a great location to purchase inexpensive bulk ammunition. In the past I found some great deals for 9mm, 45 ACP, and .223. Security Equipment Corp has a decent selection and is a great location if one is looking to purchase Glocks or SIG SAUER handguns. There are also discounts for military and law enforcement personnel. The only reason why I did not give this establishment five stars is because of parking. Parking can be bad in the early afternoon. The options for parking is either on the street or limited stalls in the back of the building. read more

Fantastic service from Security Equipment Corp! Knowledgable, helpful and PATIENT staff. Even the clientele were helpful and willing to help answer questions for a few first-time buyers in Hawaii. Spent a good bit of time with us and made sure we were clear on all of the features, pros/cons between different weapons. They have earned my respect and my business. Deep discounts for military and law enforcement personnel (the only ones in town doing it). read more

What an awesome place! They were so courteous and very helpful. Everyone in there was friendly and it's just a comfortable environment. Not to mention I got my rifle at an awesome military price because they are such awesome supporters of LE and Military. Will definitely take all my business there rather then deal with some of the other shops that I have read are very rude. read more

Great business employed by great people. Went in today to purchase a Springfield 1911 and was helped by a guy name Chris. They're pretty knowledgable and friendly compared to some other shops I been to on island. I was so happy with my visit I ended up buying two 1911's and some ammo. I'm a return shopper and will end up coming back for all my firearm needs. read more

Great service and prices. Friendly and knowledgable staff.

Always very nice and helpful. Ammo is usually pretty competitive. Bought a Zero Tolerance and a Kershaw on my last visit.

Best all around lgs. Good customer service, and competitive selection/pricing. In general they're way cooler than the guys at OGC. Has decent selection of reloading components as well. Way different attitude than OGC. Recommended. read more

Very helpful staff and full of knowledge. They have powders and primers for reloading. They offer updates and sale via facebook. Great pricing. read more

There's only two words I can describe these guys at SEC...."Simply Awesome!" Especially Ant! Great customer service! Great Guy! Casey too! But I do believe he no longer works there due to his Army Reserve, I think. They give you great prices & deals! Keep up the great work SEC! As we say in the USNavy..."Bravo Zulu!" read more

Very friendly staff who seems to genuinely have a passion for this. For someone who is still learning, they are patient with your questions and try to provide you with the info you need. Good amount of on hand inventory. read more

Bought previous guns at either XRing or at Young Guns in Mapunapuna. Unfortunately I didn't know about Security Equipment Corp. went there with my brother and bought my first Glock pistol. It's awesome that they have a military/law enforcement discount on certain guns. They really value and honor those who serve, like myself. Plus it's so convenient to go straight to HPD HQ to register purchased guns. Matt Li is an awesome associate to work with. He is very knowledgeable and is very easy to work with. Actually all the employees were very friendly and knowledgable. I live in Waipahu and will go out of my way to drive to town just to buy more firearms and accessories from Security Equipment. read more

Excellent customer service and well stocked on guns and ammo. Prices aren't that bad either.

Best deals on ammo. Great sales and knowledgeable. I'm waiting for the coming holiday sales!

I rate places like this for the service provided not what they have or do not have in stock because of the nature of a firearms store in this day and age. When I first walked into the shop all the associates were busy helping customers so I patiently waited my turn. After about 10 min a sales associate asked if I had any questions, I explained to him my situation (no handgun affidavit but wanted to pre-shop around) Despite me not being able to actually purchase a handgun at that moment he still took the time to answer all my questions AND let me handle every pistol I wanted to see without question or hesitation. Overall im very happy with this companys friendly and knowledgeable staff. read more

I recently purchased 2 handguns from SEC, a S&W M&P Pro Series CORE w/ Trijicon Red Dot, and an awesome Walther PPQ M1. The whole staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Casey, Matt, Ants and Creighton know their guns, and none of them are pushy. They let you hold and feel the guns you are interested in without ever trying to push the sale on you. I've also bought their bulk ammo and cleaning supplies and their prices are decent. They are also Police and Military friendly. I definitely recommend coming here to SEC before you go to OGC or Young Guns, even though it's smaller. read more

Awesome store. Great, knowledgeable, and friendly staff. By far the best gun store on Oahu. Always felt welcomed each time I have walked through the doors, thanks security equipment for the great services you guys provide. read more

Best on the island when it comes to customer service! The staff is very cool, not pushy when it comes to sales, and knowledgable about firearms. If its your first time buying or just looking to buy another pistol or rifle I would totally recommend this place. read more

When I first went to this shop it felt like I had been there for years. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful and they assist you in finding exactly what you want and need and they are not just trying to sell you the most expensive things possible. They take the time to listen to what your looking for, and provide you with options for your own personal situation whether it'd be recreational, security based, or work related. They have a wealth of knowledge into getting you exactly what your looking for and if they don't have it, they usually know exactly where you can get it. Their customer service is second to none in my opinion as I had tons of questions and concerns during my visits and spent almost 2 1/2 hours of a single workers time and felt like I was receiving personal service despite the store being filled with customers. Seeing this type of customer service is rare and I will definitely be coming to this shop for any of my weapon or personal home security needs. read more

i have always got great service here. i literally had to tell one of the workers today that "im good" because he was so helpful and kept handing me rifle after rifle to get a feel for the action and check trigger pull. after 10+ rifles i felt bad because i had no intention to buy one that day i was just stocking up on ammo and magazines. gun and ammo prices are reasonable. some accessories are priced a little high. I would definitely recommend them to someone to check it out. theres no "one stop gun shop" in hawaii so i always give people a list of my 3 or 4 favorite shops to check out. this one also happens to be the most convenient for me since i live in kaimuki and everything else is a 30+ minute drive (except magnum, but i dont care for their high prices and some of the workers have attitude but one or two were very helpful. read more

Friendly staff and excellent service as usual. Added my name to a waiting list for a particular ammo a couple months ago and got a call that it came in. Nice that they maintain want lists and then follow through when the product arrives. read more

There are two firearms shops I do business with Security Equipment & Young Guns: customer service is as I would expect. Employee's go out of their way to Kokua, On more then one occasion employee's from both stores recommended I check out the other when a particular merchandise was not available....plenty Aloha. read more

Good prices, great customer service, good inventory.

Terrific service from this company. When they didn't have a certain type of hard to get ammunition when I visited, they said they would put me on a list and call me when it came in. They did just that. Staff is courteous and always accommodating. 5 stars. read more

these guys have great prices. 40 less. i guess because they have a less expensive loction and rent. $ 40 less than other shops. honest sales staff and good service read more

This is always the first place i go for my security equipment needs. They dont greet you but they do help you if you look interested in something. Once you have your eye on something and you ask them about it, they pull it out of the case and show it to you without asking... unlike some places where they hesitate. Dont know if thats good or bad but im sure they profile if you walk in looking like a criminal or gang member then they'll hesitate on doing something like that. Never now these days right? The service is very friendly and i always like the help of Kanoa. He may be young but he is very knowledgeable and friendly. I like that they dont pressure you at all until you hand them your credit card. I think everything i bought is from that store because of this. Prices are not cheap but not expensive. They appear to have some good deals time to time but you gotta be the first to know about it. They seem to have a good rapport with law enforcement, since ive seen many LEOs in there from time to time, and they even have a small section geared for them. I actually wouldnt be surprised if all the customers in there are off duty or retired law enforcement. Parking is in the back or in the Krazy Karaoke parking lot, believe it or not. read more

I go to this shop most since it is really close to my house. really nice they have that parking lot next door. place gets pretty crowded. guys working there are very helpful and nice. decent prices too. read more

Staff was very friendly, and they have the lowest prices of ammo on the island.

Went to security equipment numerous times and spoke with mostly Jason the guy was really professional and knew his stuff, I put through plenty of questions to him I needed to know and his expertise and help were tremendous.Security equipment is one of the grate gun stores to go to here in the islands. The staff are very professional. read more

Decent prices. Good selection on Ammo. Nice sales from time to time.

These guys are a pleasure to buy from. Great service (guy by the name of Ants is very friendly and helpful). I have also had great service from a couple of other employees. Ammo is pretty reasonable for the island, especially when they are running sales, which they do often. They have a limited selection, especially of targets and other accessories, but it's a small shop, so I don't hold it against them. There is usually street parking or parking behind the building. I've shopped here a few times since moving from the mainland, and while I still have island sticker shock, these guys do right by me. read more

I love these guys!! they take care of Law Enforcement and Military. Love their LE Glocks. Under $500 for a Gen 4 LE Glock!! These guys rock!! read more

I've gone to mostly all the gun stores on the island and I always come back here. The prices are reasonable and you can haggle...to an extent. I am a return customer and have been treated very well ever since I bought my pistol 5 years ago. They have a good selection, are very knowlegeable, and are generally friendly. I highly recommend them. read more

This place was great!! I found my new shop for my goodies!! A+++ Everyone working there is friendly. Great customer service!

This is my gun shop! Friendly, knowledgeable staff, great selection of firearms (cheapest prices), lots of accessories, plentiful/cheapest place to find 22LR along with all the other calibers. Purchased 4 firearms from this shop and will continue to purchase from them in the future. I routinely check out the other eight gun shops on Oahu to check their prices/availablility/service and compare them to this shop....and hands down....this is the BEST! I HIGHLY recommend them! read more

screw these guys...i ordered a gun and waited 2 months for it to come in....it finally arrived and they called asking if i still wanted it...of course i did and they said they would hold it for me...the next day i called to confirm that they still had it on hold so i headed down there....upon arrival i waited 15 minutes only to learn that they sold it already and i would have to wait another 2-3 weeks for another shipment...assholes...they could have told me all of this over the phone and saved me a drive from ewa into town....dont ever do business with these jerks...their customer service sucks. read more
