Very polite, but not a huge selection. Service was good but they didn't have what I was looking for.

I'm still pretty new when it comes to guns. I bought a revolver a couple years ago with every…read moreintention of using it... and then I put it in my gun safe where it basically became a very expensive paperweight for two years. I finally decided it was time to stop being nervous and actually go to the range. After reading the reviews, I decided to check this place out, and I'm really glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and very helpful. I told them it was my first time at the range, and they took the time to explain everything, answer my questions, and help me get set up. That made a huge difference because walking into a range as a newbie can feel a little intimidating. Once I got to my lane, I was only there for about 30 minutes, but I enjoyed every minute of it. My confidence definitely grew, and I left feeling way more comfortable than when I walked in. Overall, great first experience. Friendly staff, helpful guidance, and a welcoming environment for beginners. I'm looking forward to coming back for more practice -- and this time, I promise I won't wait another two years.

We all know, purchases / transfers in California are difficult and wrought with bureaucracy & nonsense. This shop, makes it simple and easy for you to get it done. In addition, they have a very nice indoor range with a VERY wide multitude of rental firearms. Aside from the good customer service & cool indoor range, they had an incredibly wide variety of stock for sale. I noticed they had VERY fair prices, like some firearms were easily $100-125 less a piece than the FUDD gun shops here in (510) Alameda County. I would say the top highlight of this gun shop was the lack of FUDD. I experienced & saw / heard zero FUDD nonsense. Just straight up good, solid, friendly customer service & plenty of great products to choose from. It's also noteworthy that they had a really good inventory of ammo for reasonable pricing. I'll definitely be spending some more money here. Keep it up guys!!

I've shopped this brand online for years. It's not cheap stuff... but... it's not cheap stuff, if…read moreyou know what I mean. Seemingly small details like the finish of the stitching and bigger details like the materials used make a difference! Everyone needs to decide what's best for them, obviously... but I don't mind paying a few extra $$ for better quality. In my opinion, it pays off in the long run. For those of you who, like me, buy 5.11 online... I encourage you to drop by a store sometime! For whatever reason, it took me years to step foot into a store... but I'm glad I finally did. I think many (most?) of us have gotten so used to buying online that we forget what it's like to be able to wander around and feel the material used for each product, try things on, etc. It's time well spent every once in awhile.

Just a little back story for the record, I've been going to this particular store for many years…read moreand I've spent thousands there and I've always spoken highly of the products. I've brought many friends, family and coworkers there as well to give 5.11 business. But let me tell you! I don't know what happened to this store and how they pick their staff now, but they are absolute trash. Ever since the old store manager left this store has hired the worst people and the store always looks like crap. The old manager had this location looking good, fully stocked and her team was on point and very professional. They lost the true face of 5.11 on that one. I recently went to this 5.11 location on Friday March 28th with my family to see if things changed and I was reminded for the final time why I will NEVER return again. The guy in the front said something when we walked in and never said another peep or offered to assist with anything at all the whole time we were there. That's not even what bothered me. What made me absolutely livid was when the female worker blew my father off mid-sentence when he was asking her a question about their sale and said "It just depends" with a snarky attitude and TURNED HER BACK ON HIM AND WALKED TO THE BACK OF THE STORE. I almost lit her up. I'm done with 5.11 once and for all and I know deep down many others are as well. Shame on this company for allowing such people to work there and for allowing such an environment.

They made some great suggestions for products that would fit what I needed that also conformed to state restrictions. And they didn't even sell those items so I really appreciate the expertise and honesty. I went ahead and bought a couple bottles of leather conditioner since they were so welcoming and helpful. And the store is huge! I'll be back, highly recommended.

This visit really could have been better, especially considering how much my friend, who is on the…read moreautism spectrum, usually loves visiting both this particular location and the sister branch over in Reno. During our visit back in June 2026, he was particularly excited because he wanted to pick out the right leather to handcraft a custom wallet for his dad for Father's Day. When we first walked through the doors, we were warmly welcomed by the staff on duty, and they did seem genuinely impressed by the gorgeous, handmade green leather bookbag my friend brought in to show them from his recent personal projects. He really appreciated that initial positive reinforcement, and it set a great tone for our visit, even though the rest of the customer service experience unfortunately left a great deal to be desired and quickly went downhill. We ended up waiting over an entire hour just to get basic assistance finding specific items on the floor, and the online sales we had planned to take advantage of were unexpectedly deemed completely unavailable for in-person purchases without any clear explanation. The lady at the front desk was helping us at first, but once it became clear that the desired items were not in the store and needed to be ordered, she abruptly left and returned to her computer. Although a second coworker attempted to step in and assist, his demeanor quickly shifted as he became visibly annoyed, short, and condescending with my friend. To make the interaction even more uncomfortable and unprofessional, the employee was wearing leather fetish cuffs as accessories while helping customers on the sales floor. At one point, he even raised his voice to snap, "I already told you. This is the one you need to use." The environment became so palpably uncomfortable and tense for everyone in the room that the female associate clearly felt the need to intervene, making an excuse about checking something on the computer to pull her coworker away while muttering under her breath, "I wanted to save you from that." In total, we were stuck in the shop for a good three hours just trying to get basic guidance and materials for his project. To make matters worse, the surrounding area felt incredibly sketchy; the nearby smoke shop had riff-raff hanging out in the parking lot actively trying to score drugs in broad daylight right in front of the shop. Seeing that kind of activity happening right out in the open with families around made the entire visit feel completely unsafe from start to finish. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Note to management: Welcoming crafters requires patience, professionalism, and basic situational awareness. Seeing an employee lose their temper with a neurodivergent customer--while wearing fetish gear on the sales floor--is unacceptable. Management urgently needs to retrain staff on de-escalation, enforce appropriate dress standards, and address customer safety.

Buyer Beware (0 stars if possible)…read more I had a very negative experience with Davis Gun Worx and would strongly caution others before doing business here. On January 29, I called about having Magpul furniture installed on my Maverick 88 shotgun. I was told it would be a simple job and take less than an hour. I dropped the firearm off in person on January 30. At that time, I was told he had just returned from SHOT Show and was busy, but to give him two days and call back. After two days, I began calling and could not get a response. I attempted to contact him repeatedly on February 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, and 11. I was only able to reach him once, and during that call he told me it would be another two days because he was still busy. I never received a return call, and all follow-up communication had to be initiated by me. I even went to the business location during posted business hours. The "open" sign was on, but no one answered the door. At that point (Feb 12th), my firearm had been in his possession far longer than the quoted timeframe with no communication, so I contacted the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department. When deputies called him, he answered immediately. However, when I called him right afterward, he became hostile and aggressive, demanding I pick up the firearm immediately because he no longer wanted it on his property. He also told the deputy that I had dropped the firearm off only a week prior and that he had informed me he needed to order parts. That is not accurate. I was told twice it would take two days, and I was never informed that parts needed to be ordered. Because of his hostility on the phone, I requested deputies be present when retrieving my firearm. When it was returned (Feb 13th), the barrel, the bag I brought it in, and the flashlight I intended to have installed were not returned with it. I will now have to go through small claims court to hopefully retrieve my property. Between the lack of communication, the extended possession of my property, the lies told to law enforcement, and the missing items, this was an extremely unprofessional and concerning experience. I would strongly advise others to proceed with caution. Communication and professionalism are essential in this industry, and that is not the experience I had AT ALL.

Most times if you…read moresetup an appointment or just show up he will spend time explaining what can be done to fix or upgrade a firearm that you're having trouble with. I personally setup a time to meet with him to be sure he has time to help with an issue or upgrade I'm looking to do. His shop is well stocked to handle most firearm issues. I highly recommend Davis Gunworx.
