Ordered and paid for a specific firearm and told it was "in stock" and it would be in store within a few days, and I paid for it in advance. Well, I waited those few days and then some, and when I was told the fire was not in yet, I asked to cancel the order and refund my money I do not know who the rude and argumentative person was at Tactical, but he finally said he would refund the money. As of this post, crickets and no refund VC Defense was far better than in customer service and providing the new purchase. And yes, I have already contacted the credit card company and the BBB of CA. read more

I love the small family feeling I get here. Alex is very helpful. I ordered a few different firearms that were not in stock. Alex gave me an approximate delivery date. When I went back in, 1 was there but the other was not. He called while I was there, but it was still in transit. After he checked the tracking, it was still 3 days out. He apologized, but I told him as a business owner myself, we can't control what we can't control. He asked me what he could do for me to make me happy; I told him I was happy and to call me when it came in. He called, I did my paperwork and 10 days later, I was at the range with it. Thank you for being my go-to gun store!! PS Alex does amazing Cerakote work, I think he has done about 15 pieces now, and he is pretty helpful with colors and patterns. read more

Great store . The owner is almost always there and bedsides being a bit of a smartass , is extremely helpful. He is very knowledgeable and recommends the proper firearm for what you need. Very happy overall ! Would recommend highly. Peter Charles read more

I brought my Sig Sauer P238 into TA and asked them to Cerakote the slide to match the gunmetal finish of the lower as best as possible / using their best judgement of color choice, and install some upgraded sights. They gave me a fantastic price, the coating looks great and matches the lower incredibly well, and I look forward to giving them more gunsmithing business/projects. Would highly recommend. read more

Alexandr was super helpful and knowledgable. Got me in and out fast. Great prices and selection. Highly recommend. Will be back for more accessories. Thanks read more

Hands down - the best service you can expect out of fire arms dealer. Keaton, Alex, Robert, some new guy - all the same - super nice, knowledgeable and you can come and have a conversation with them. Sometimes I get bored and come in to hang out. They're friendly and will provide you the best knowledge without pressure to buy anything. I don't know what that recent 1 star review has to do anything with the service and quality of accessories that the guys at Tactical Arms Group sell. They're not a CCW service provider. Sure they have a few providers that they've used in the past and recommend, but it is up to the person to interview (call) and ask questions before going. Also - it's my belief and a few other's in LE that you should know how to actually shoot a gun with good markmanship, BEFORE going to get your CCW license course work. There are others like Hezi Sheli's operation that offer a combo of gun training + CCW, but Greg is NOT that. Again - if you want exceptional firearms, accessories, light assembly, cerakote - Tactical Arms Group - they're your spot. If you want GUN Training (shooting a gun, markmanship, clear a room, etc)- go to a licensed and insured, GUN training course. If you want to have a chill CCW course with snacks - call Greg. read more

Great customer service! They are very knowledgeable and helpful if they don't have what you want they will get it! Best gun shop in socal

Well, I bought a gun here and Christian was amazing but I'm giving this place to stars because I keep trying to call and I can't get through. Is this place still open? read more

TERRIBLE! I had my driver license with my old address along with a electricity bill and vehicle registration with my new address but they wanted to send me to DMV to get a new license so they can sell me a gun. Went to Greta's Guns in Simi and they accepted my documents without giving me any hassle. Stay away from this store. They are unprofessional. Response: Stop accusing me of falsifying. I explained the situation to Greta's and they accepted my SCE and the same vehicle registration your employee failed to accept. DMV wanted to charge me $65 to reissue a valid license and if you watched the footage, I asked your employee if there is another way. You are obviously not very experienced in this field. read more

I haven't purchased anything yet but the guys are always super helpful whenever I come in and have questions about building my first AR. I'll definitely be back read more

Great customer service and great selection of fire arms. Thank you Alex for assisting me in buying my first hand gun.

Customer service is always top notch. They're always friendly and helpful. I've purchased multiple items and their great service keeps me coming back. read more

Alex was great. Quick expert service for firearm maintenance. Will definitely return for future needs.

I recently purchased my first pistol at Tactical Arms. I was very impressed with how thorough and careful Alex was. He walked me through everything and never made me fell like he was rushed. Hies explanations were clear and safety was always his first priority. I would recommend this business without reservation read more

Alex and his crew were so helpful in helping my partner and I choose our first firearm. They're very knowledgeable, friendly and easy to work with as a novice. Alex answered all of my questions thoroughly and was communicative throughout the process. read more

I needed some help with my setup and stopped in today. Keaton was extremely helpful and handled exactly what I needed right there on the spot. They also had some extra parts that I needed as well to finish off my build. I'll be back here for sure. Thanks Keaton. read more

fantastic people run this place. I'm a first time gun owner. they are patient, informative and non-judgmental. I thoroughly recommend them. they will be my go-to gun store. good prices, great service. read more

Went into TA today for the first time in my search for a couple specific pieces and rare ammo. Total of 6 visits across 4 different stores. Keaton gave me the time, honest perspective, and price-matched (on my word) a Sig offered for less at a store in Simi. He explained in detail (and showed pics of) the custom work they do at great prices. I was going back to have the customization done, he price-matched the piece sight unseen, and he was super cool. I was out of excuses and pulled the trigger (I know, just move on). The Simi stores are bigger than the ones in TO, have more ammo options, and sometimes (not always) have the most competitive prices. But with that size and foot traffic inevitably comes the one guy who rubs you the wrong way. Not at TA. And they have a robust consignment rack with limited LEO guns that get you excited and then let down. Very happy to be a purchaser and will be back for more service and my new piece! Thanks Keaton! read more

I have had nothing but excellent service from TA. I don't normally post yelp reviews but, in this case I feel it necessary. First off, I have NO connection to TA other than being a customer. Secondly, I think it's wrong to leave a review for a different business on a business's yelp page. That said, someone left a review here meant for me. I will say that everyone learns differently. If anyone wants to see other reviews of me, feel free to join Ventura County CCW Facebook page. As for this review, I'm disappointed because, I try to end every class by asking for input including suggestions, concerns, constructive criticism and even non-constructive criticism. Cori left the review a year after attending my class which was legally a minimum of 8 hours and a maximum of 16 hours. In her own writing, I have a document stating she was here for 9 hours (not 10 like she claimed). I also went above and beyond by going to her business to roll her fingerprints instead of having her come to me. Now, about my CCW Class, I don't believe a CCW class is where one learns to shoot. One should already know how to handle a firearm before deciding to carry one in public. My class is designed to educate people on firearms safety and the laws and everyday issues surrounding CCWs. Now, due to SB-2 changing the time requirements to a 16 hour minimum, I do include a few hours on handgun fundamentals. BTW, I'd rather not talk or listen to myself speaking. I just don't know of another efficient way to teach a class. Am I supposed to learn and sign language, videos and written material only when teaching???????? Am I supposed to teach 8-9 hours straight without eating anything???????? I'm sorry but, that's not healthy. I strongly encourage Cori to remove her negative review of me on another business's page. She can leave any review of me she wants to but not on another's page. read more

Alex and Keaton are too upstanding guys, knowledgeable, friendly, and service oriented. This was a great experience and they have a great selection of firearms on consignment as well as accessories. They really bent over backwards for me and didn't ask anything in return. I'm blown away at the customer service. Support local business especially local business that supports you. These guys are awesome. read more

Love this place. Always friendly and give good recommendations without trying to upsell you. Alex is a great guy and fun to talk to about all kinds of things. Keaton was super friendly, knowledgeable and didn't pressure me into any sale at all. If you want something that goes bang go here!! read more

These guys go the extra distance with customer service and great prices! Their knowledge of current products help steer you in the direction to meet your needs best! read more

Best gun shop in the area forsure. Each time I go in everyone working is always very polite, helpful and attentive. I appreciate their service and knowledge. I just picked up a rifle from TAG, and as expected, the guys were very helpful and genuine. I will recommend this shop to everyone I know I will be coming back :) read more

I had an amazing experience at Tactical Arms. It was my first firearm purchase and I felt very at there. As a first time buyer I I did not know what to expect and they were very nice and very helpful and very patient and respectful. They have a great selection of firearms and very good prices. I cannot wait to pick up my firearm. I will definitely be purchasing again read more

Every time I go into the shop, I'm treated with kindness and respect. The staff are knowledgeable, helpful and professional. I asked a lot of questions early on being new to firearms purchases and they took the time to thoroughly explain everything to me. As a bonus they have really cool stickers they always let me take for my son! I will only purchase firearms and ammo here. They will work with you on price as well in certain cases. Great place with solid people. read more

The best service that I ever met. Both guys very friendly and help me with couple pistols without charging me. These guys are good specialists with nice attitude to customers. Thank you Alex and Keaton. Pavel Mogilevsky read more

Great atmosphere and great prices! Very welcoming staff! Being relatively new to firearms myself, Keaton is always there to guide me in the right direction. Very informative and friendly every time I come by and sends me on my way with a smile on my face. Thank you Keaton! read more

FANTASTIC! FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY! Came into this place because of some of the great Yelp reviews and word of mouth. I live in Calabasas and yes there are other gun stores in town but I decided to try Tactical Arms. So glad I did! I called them on the phone and I had a few questions. I felt very comfortable with them over the phone so I drove right down. I had the pleasure of dealing with Keaton and Bobby. They both answered my questions and gave me some suggestions. I do own other guns but by no means am I an expert. I had questions and needed some answers and advice. Some of the other big gun stores don't take the time to listen. If you are a novice or an expert, this is the place. If you need a new gun or ammunition, this is the place. The store was bright and clean and very well organized. The parking is easy. I did my paperwork and purchased the gun I need for my overlanding trip up to bear country. Can't wait to go back and pick it up. The prices are very fair and competitive. I was not pressured and I was given a few options for what I needed. I highly recommend giving Tactical Arms a try for your next gun related purchase. Keaton and Bobby, I appreciate all your suggestions and you both were fantastic to deal with! Professional, knowledgeable and nice. Thank You, Thank You! Have fun and stay safe... read more

very knowledgeable staff helpful excellent customer service-good prices my go to place in the area

Super friendly staff and great selection. I was so intimidated to go into a gun store and my anxiety left the second I was helped by Alex and Keaton. They were very patient with me as I had no prior knowledge and really took the time to educate me and show me what I needed. Everyone was super knowledgeable and the prices are very reasonable. read more

They have everything for your rights, and they're professional and trustworthy and nice guys for your needs!

GREAT PLACE to buy a gun. Christian has been super helpful and spent the time to explain my options which is rare for other gun stores in my area. I highly recommend this store. read more

Just picked up a new pistol from Tactical Arms. These guys are great and am each time I'm there I'm always treated with respect and patience. They're a wealth of knowledge and you can tell they have a lot of pride in their work and take their jobs seriously. I've been to a few other gun stores and didn't really feel the love but TA took care of me like I was a brother. Special shoutout to Keaton. The guy helped me out the whole way and even took the time to show me a few tips for my new Beretta since I've never handled one. If you're looking for a firearms store in the 805, trust me look no further. Thanks Tactical Arms team, can't wait to come back soon. read more

Very Nice Inventory and very friendly service. They took the time to explain what are my best options with the Rifles of my choice while staying within my budget. Eventually Got it form them and the whole process was pretty easy read more

Awesome store. They exceed expectations and provide great service for myself and family. Highly recommend

This store is refreshing. I was driving down Thousand Oaks Blvd. a few weeks ago and saw there was a new gun store in town and immediately got excited. The next day I went in and spoke to the owner for about 45 minutes. He is a younger guy and a wealth of knowledge. He reminds me of myself in that he loves to chat and isn't biased and holds no attitudes or judgment. I know my way around guns and I have quite a few but I also know a few local gun shops that will roll their eyes if you aren't an expert. I didn't really need to buy anything although I came back the next day and bought a few smaller items to support. They have an extensive inventory and I was actually thoroughly impressed with the amount of weapons they had on hand. I hope this place does well they are certainly on the right track read more

These guys have the best selection of firearms in Ventura Country. Not only that, but they do the best work on those firearms too. You can trust Keaton and the people over at Tactical Arms to do anything you need for your firearm and to do it right. I know I trust them with mine. Friendly, fast, and at a reasonable price to boot. read more

I waked in at 5:00 pm needing help with a stuck slide on a firearm. I needed it fixed immediately and they gladly took the time to assist and fixed the problem for no charge. In today's world of poor customer service they were a white knight and did it with joy. Thank you! read more

Great store and the Guys running in Alex, Robert and Keaton are very helpfull and really know their stuff. Great costumer service

Super clean store. The employees are nicer and more helpful than most stores. Especially Keaton. Thanks!
