I was surprised to learn that this business is stationed at his home. Nothing wrong with that…read more Like I said, I was just surprised. Diven is a professional. Although I've had much faster transactions of firearms through other storefronts, I very much appreciate that he is thorough with his work and pays close attention to details. He asks a lot of questions, but again he check and double-checks everything. I asked him a handful of questions too and he was always good about responding to me with accurate information. I've noticed that other reviews here mention his English - look: While English clearly isn't his first language, the guy speaks well enough to understand. And in the case where there is uncertainty, I can see the gears in his head moving to choose different words to be more clear. I applaud him for this. I purchased my firearm through an online vendor and did the rest of the process through him. I hate COVID. Super annoying. But, Diven complied with every single CDC rule and regulation to continue operating his business. Again, a real professional. I found other FFL's that charge less than him. I'd say that is my only "complaint." But really, I have nothing bad to say about this guy and his business. I will definitely be doing business with him again.

Well, my situation was bit different than most other people. In the end, I did not purchased…read morefirearm from Diven due to some other reasons (u will know when u finish reading this comment). But I still want to write a 5 star rating for Diven. I came across Diven when I searched gun shop on yelp and he has pretty good reviews. I am a total newbie on buying firearm, so I have ton of questions of buying firearm online, FFL dealer transfer and all other basic questions. We had some brief conversations over text for some basic question. We later had a phone call to explain all the question I have. And he even offer me to look for a gun I really want but hard to find (due to covid). However, he told me he won't be able to process my request until mid July because covid and backlogs. He suggest me to look for other dealer who is still operating. What an honest and great guy! Because of timing, I end up picking another dealer. But I am very impressed by Diven. I know I am gonna have a second gun soon in the future and I will come to Diven next time.

Their staff is superb in all aspects, customer service, knowledge & of course firearms. Their appointment based system is solid as well. No 3 hour wait time in the Queue (Bass Pro) to purchase and to pick up. That was a nightmare. Now you can enjoy your time off properly as you should! In and out Appointments! Whether you're a new firearm owner or you love collecting firearms. This is the shop for you!

Update, during my purchase of my firearm i purchased two additional magazines which i reasonably…read moreassumed were compatible based on conversations with the salesperson. After opening the packaging and realizing that the magazines were not compatible, I brought both magazines, unused back to the store in an effort to either receive a return or store credit. unbeknownst to me the flimsy plastic package that the magazines were in were the only way to guarantee a return of said magazines, and the sales person was uncompromising in terms of any possible way of compensating my losses This experience was particularly jarring, given how accommodating they were during my initial purchase of the firearm. Needless to say, I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

The parking is small but I haven't encountered a case when I couldn't find a parking yet. When you go in, input your information on the kiosk to be put in the queue and they will call your name when it's your turn. Yes it can get busy but there are actually a lot to look at so hopefully you won't get bored while waiting. Everyone I met there has been friendly and helpful. The place is bigger than expected as it has two rooms and there are a lot of consignment in addition to new guns. Yes the price can be all over the place but you can always offer your price for the consignment. Overall one of the best places for supporting your local gun store. Oh they don't have credit surcharge which is amazing for a small shop. Thank you.

The staff behind the counter are incredibly knowledgeable and more importantly, they're actual shooters with real experience. You can tell right away these guys live the lifestyle and know their gear inside and out, not just random internet keyboard warriors pretending to know what they're talking about. They take the time to answer questions, give honest advice, and make sure you leave confident in your purchase. No pressure, no ego, just solid people who care about their customers and the shooting community. Rare to find a shop with this level of professionalism and authenticity these days. Easily one of the best FFL experiences I've had. Highly recommend supporting this place. I've been coming back since they opened and the service has stayed consistent

When I moved to San Jose, I needed to find a great FFL. I don't really prefer working with gun…read moreshops because they tend to be too busy with other things to take care of my transfer needs. For reference , I am a gunsmith and a former owner of Graphite Dynamics, which was a firearms development company. I ran into Friendly FFL. They are a really small place that only does DROS services and they don't sell actual firearms. Loc is a great guy who runs the place. He is an instructor as well as an RO., and he really knows his stuff. Most of all, he literally is friendly. I can tell you from my experience that a lot of FFL folks tend to be gun snobs who act like they know everything and actually look down on customers like we are peasants who know nothing about guns. It's unfortunate that this hobby has a lot of know it all jerks.. They are really friendly and best of all because they are a very knowledgeable. They are more than happy to answer your questions no matter how dumb you may think your question is.. they really do make the firearms hobby more enjoyable . it is especially important when you live in California where there are so many gun laws that changed almost monthly that it's good to have a knowledgeable person to help you deal with it all.. I haven't done any firearms transfers yet, but I've done several ammunition transfers and it was a breeze. Overall, their prices are very low and they are very good at letting you know when your stuff has come in.. As a gunsmith and former firearms company owner, I would highly recommend Friendly FFL.
