Made it in right before they closed for the day since I usually get out of work pretty late. Even tho it was nearing closing time, they still made me feel welcomed and never made me feel rushed. I was looking for my first pig/coyote rifle, and they took the time to point me in the right direction and help me understand what would be a good fit for what I wanted to do. They have a great selection, good value, and plenty of availability to choose from. Really appreciated the customer service and the fact that they were willing to help even at the end of the day. Definitely a shop I'll be coming back to. read more

Dearest Solar Tactical in Livermore thank you for your wonderful service. You provide me with a credit card bill quite frequently but I appreciate the quality of items you have. I like the fact that if I want something you guys try your hardest to get it. I do like your used gun selection. It's not overbearing and easy to navigate through. Thank you for also the fair prices on your ammo. Stay classy and keep up the amazing Instagram. read more

Come check out solar tactical great staff and friendly service and very knowledgeable always willing to guide you in the right direction come through you won't be disappointed read more

Just purchased a firearm from the website quick shipping to castro valley store very helpful will recommend

Hahaha, so this ain't really your super-friendly-come-on-down-and-ask-all-your-questions kinda business. They expect you to have some knowledge of the VERY DANGEROUS WEAPON that you are looking to purchase. Seems fair enough to me, but what you need to know if that this comes with a bit of an "attitude" that might not be for you. Some things you should know: how to hold a gun, where to point a gun, how to check if it's loaded/unloaded, safety switches, and definitely don't make stupid jokes about killing anyone or anything. They take that s*** very seriously and it's not funny. Anyway, I got myself a new toi!! Nice little AR for some range shooting because let's face it - guns are badass and shooting them is too much fun ^______^ I went with a Mid-High-End weaponry because I need to know that that thing has my back when I need it Woohoo! read more

Great staff great selection and good fair prices ! It's hard finding a good shop on the Bay Area and they are one of the few good ones !

These guys have one of the best customer service I've had at a Gun store in a long time. Bought my shadow systems here and my wife got her first JG here as well. Friendly and welcoming vibes throughout the whole process, from walking in to doing paperwork to saying adios. read more

Awesome staff great product and all around great looking store. They had a lot of options to choose from.

Consigned a rifle with solar which sold around 4 months. Very professional to work with and got more money than expected! They have very high integrity read more

One of the best deals for private party transfers. They always have a good attitude for the large amount of paperwork. They also will wave the Livermore City gun lock fee if you can show proof of purchase and ownership of an approved gun lock. These guys are my go to FFL. read more

Hands down, the best gun shop in the area with the widest variety of firearms - particularly rifles. I deal exclusively with this shop these days. read more

Terrible experience due to a sales person named Justin. I purchased a holster for my firearm that I was preparing to attend a CCW class with. He told me it fits and briefly showed me by putting my pistol inside of it. I am new to this whole thing so I didn't question him. Immediately upon arriving to my CCW class two hours later, the instructors assessed the holster and said that that is not the correct holster for my firearm and it is not a safe and secure fit. I told them that the guy at the solar tactical said it was for this pistol and that he showed me. They proceeded to look into it further, and confirmed that in fact, it is not a safe holster for my firearm and just because it fits, does not mean it securely locks in place. I returned to solar tactical within their return policy with an unused holster. A gentleman by the name of Brian was helping me, when Justin overheard our conversation, and spoke very loudly across the room where several other customers were standing just to confront me and tell me that I am calling him a liar. This was absolutely unprofessional and highly uncalled for. Brian proceeded to pull me aside and help me with the return. He even apologized on behalf of Justin and said that he would handle things. Horrible experience, I will never return to this place again. read more

Getting my CCW and had my sites on a handgun that they had in stock, but also had a pretty damn good price on for Memorial Day weekend. I tried to get in early, because I haven't bought a new gun in over 20 years and know it's a bit of a process now, but got held up and ended up walking in 25 minutes before closing. These guys did not give me the stare down that you would expect or even blink an eye, but they just came together as a team to get me processed and out of there in about 20 minutes. All this while, again, as a team, securing all firearms to shut down the shop. These guys are the real deal. read more

Great shop with wonderful staff. I always feel welcome and they are always happy to help and answer any question I do have! read more

Taylor, Brian, Ryan and the rest of the crew are always welcoming, very knowledgeable on anything about guns and they always hook me up on good deals whenever I drop by for a visit. This gun store is highly recommended for avid gun buyers & newbies like me. They have great gun selections and they do consignments too, You wont get disappointed, 2 thumbs up indeed!! read more

So me and my buddy Michael were at the Livermore shooting range this past Saturday. We came unprepared because it was a requirement that your rifle is equipped with a scope of some sort. Michael was breaking in his brand new Fabrique National AR-15 rifle without a scope on it. Michael went to Solar Tactical, Livermore to purchase a Vortex red dot scope and had it professionally installed. The gentleman who took care of my buddy Michael was Ryan. Ryan went above and beyond and installed it for him. Everything went smooth after that. read more

Customer service here is subpar at best. Been here before and I ventured off to a competitor not too distant and it was night and day differernce - absolutely enjoyable. If this place could be more welcoming then yes maybe my friends and l will try again. Others say this place has an ongoing theme of having so-so customer service. I ended up spending my $2.5k down the street. Will try again in the future (maybe). read more

Sat arrived at opening time a few people in line. PPT of a rifle was about 40 min from start to finish is not bad. Decent selection of handguns and long guns. Average pricing for the Bay Area. Large parking lot is a plus. Would highly recommend for PPT. read more

- Quick customer service and staff - Wide variety of quality products - staff is extremely informative and helpful with recommendations read more

Because I seen Phils's rating and his comment about the lets go brandon. If a floor matt puts you off you, you have issues.

Great business! Friendly staff every time I come. Helpful, very knowledgeable and patient. They run a tight ship and I like it especially due to the type of business it is. Always have I need in stock plus surprising goodies that come in along the way! read more

This place is awesome!!!! They have a Huge Stock of Weaponry Almost any thing you can think of or need !! The Livermore Location is Open by Appointment Only!!! Due to Social Distances and the Shelter in place!! Employees are Knowledgeable and Friendly. They also have a cool Collection of Military Vehicle's. read more

Great Store, Excellent service and outstanding staff with a wealth of knowledge regarding everything to know about firearms and accessories. I went in to replace my handguard today and was helped by Ryan in no time. If you need work done on your firearm or are wondering where to buy your next guns or ammo, hit up Solar Tactical. They have the best selection of everything you need. Thanks again, Ryan. I appreciate your service. read more

I wouldn't even give them one star. I patiently waited for someone to help me. "What do you want?" No hello or hi, no how can I help you or do for you, but "what do you want? Seriously, WTF that's your customer service?!? Wow! Not to mention we are still in a pandemic and with 4 employees, not one mask...seriously?! Just rude the whole 7 minutes in there. What's with the crappy attitudes! I definitely do not recommend this place! I'd rather drive to Outdoor Sportsman in Stockton, they have the best customer service & much more stock! read more

when I went into Solar Tactical I was seeing bad customer service at its best. The people working there seem not to care about anything that has anything to do with the customers. I went in for a PPT, the guy said he only does PPTs at 10:00 o'clock. There is nothing in their website about that, or posted in the store. The clerk just walked away saying it was their policy. I will make it a point to never return. When asked for a gun shop, I'll point them in a different direction. read more

They have the worst customer service i have ever witnessed. If you like being ignored when you enter a dead store, then this is it. If you love not being acknowledged when their is one of their buddies there, then this IS YOUR STORE. They have a good selection and are pretty knowledgeable, but holy shit I literally had to ask to see something after fifteen minutes pf standing in front of the item with one other person in the building, sucked. I wont be giving them business ever again. read more

Awesome group of dudes. Came in because my ar15 wouldn't function correctly post installation of the hellfighter juggernaut ca compliant kit I installed on it. Wish I knew they sold the kit there, I would have bought it from them. They immediately looked at my rifle, and fixed it on the spot free of charge. They even offered to the mount the optics I had. What I like the most is how knowledgeable everyone is, easy to talk to, and their prices on everything. Guns fishing and other stuff is a joke, other then the range avoid them at all costs. Got the same brand of .556 from solar tactical for half the price. Will never go anywhere else for ammo or parts! read more

Was an easy and quick in and out experience here. They had hollow points when other stores I tried didn't.

They have the best selection out of the two stores. But workers are a bit rude and aren't very helpful at all. They also require two proofs of address for ppt which none of the 3 ffls I've been to have ever required from me. Unnecessary extra rule. I assume cause they don't want to bother with ppts. read more

I came here to do a PPT and the guys behind the counter were great, it was a chill vibe in the store which I really like. The only thing that could be better is the selection of pistols, but as far as long guns it looks like they have a good selection. read more

Bad form fellas if you say you're open until 7pm. You should be open at 6:11. You guys are great but that was not a good thing for me. I wanted to pick up my new toy and had to make from San Jose. Maybe I can catch you on Friday. One little miss understanding but these guys are the best in my opinion in the Bay Area always willing to find what I ask for. I was new to their shop back when I work the first review but I can't say enough good about the men in the shop now. Hope you stick around, I don't really like dealiing with our other options. read more

The selection was excellent, the customer service was excellent, and the prices were reasonable Great selections excellent customer service good prices read more
