Gun Shops near Irvine, CA

“Jeff is a great instructor and a great guy. He's also a former Marine who served our nation. Word of advice, if you go to him for CCW training, know what you are doing with your firearms for this man will not sign off on someone who he feels should not be carrying a firearm in public. He takes that very serious and the man pulls no punches, Dave Rossano Veteran U.S. Air Force.”

“Sold them 3 firearms today, the entire staff very friendly. Upfront about everything, calm environment. Would definitely come back sometime in the future to buy firearms. They make the process as painless as possible. 5/5”

“I cannot express how glad I am that these folks are in business... The owner of the shop really cares about his work and restored a Mosin Nagant that was gifted to me by family friends.

“Matt and Mark are very helpful and friendly. I came in as a first time gun buyer with no prior knowledge about the process. They walked me through all the forms and what steps I needed to take to own a firearm. They also have a dog and are very dog friendly in the shop. Thank you for your patience and we loved Annie??”

“I've had no issues at all at this location. I've only dealt with the two main employees the woman and the man that I believe are married in their early 50's. They always have been nice to me, are FULLY versed in gun-laws (I saw a review on here that makes no sense based off my experience), and are pretty fair on prices. They don't bend much on the prices, like most pawn shops, but they aren't super outgoing friendly like some people may like, however they're nice enough and are serious as they should be. They remind me of people from the mid-west, people from California are d-bags and they aren't ones to talk about people being friendly or nice. But yeah, ignore the negative reviews, just because they're not trying to go over the moon with customer service doesn't mean they deserve a bad review.”

“Simple and short got a ar-10 had some problems with it, wasn't a complete build by them. Keep that in mind. Reached out they told me to bring it in, and I couldn't due to my busy schedule. They gave me some tips to try and fix the issue on my own. It only worked for one range day. Reached out again and they asked again if I could come on down and I was able to get down there. Super nice, took the time to go over what could be wrong, give me more insight on gun smithing. Let me sit in the office and told me if anything I wanted to see they would let me hold, all awhile they looked and made sure my ar-10 was fine tuned and good to go. You do have to contact them through email and they will call, kinda sucks but they are a small business and I understand. After the email they will call. Buy there products you will won't regret it.”

“Had an amazing experience at Titan Ballistics, Lorenzo was really helpful! They have really good prices on ammunition, after going to three different stores with no help, Lorenzo saved the day and helped me find what I needed and offered great deals! Definitely recommend! 10/10!”

“My experience started with a dear friend offering to share his 40+ year experience with the Fowler Gun Room! What an amazing experience! Between my friend's knowledge & the guys at Fowler I was inundated with knowledge. Special thanks to my friend, Lonnie & Jason for all your help with my first firearm purchase! It was very educational & it is clear that this is an ongoing opportunity as a firearm owner. Thank you Fowler Gun Room!”

“The best firearms store and the best staff. Very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. They don’t make you look stupid because you don’t know how something works or don’t know the technical details, they’re respectful and always willing to help. They give really good advice without being pushy. My favorite gun store all around.”

“Because I can. Thats all. Don't forget to bring Dramamine and water if you're in the simulator. And bring money for the roach coach. I'm not a station 18'er but these guys and gals are cool. Don't forget your sense of humor”

“Bought a used matthew's and brought it in for Ralph to check out..... Needed a new string and Ralph Set me up with the best company in the nation.... He also helped me install a peep sight...and tuned my bow perfectly. Goes without saying I don't shop anywhere else... Nor do I let anybody touch my bow except for Ralph. I mean if there was a hot blonde girl that wanted to touch it she could.... But that's the only exception.”

“I frequent the Norwalk Ca store and they are great. The workers in each area know what they are selling and can answer most questions, baring the crazy or personal stuff, and the prices are pretty good. Better if you sign up for emails and club offers.”

“Overall, a pretty good store. A really big (square footage) store. Reasonable prices if you wait and keep an eye out for their sales. For as large as the store is, it seems like the selection on firearms is a little small in this store. I haven't been to the other ones yet. But at Turners Outdoorsman (T/O) in Orange, even though the store size is less than half of this store, I feel like you actually have a better and more varied selection of firearms at T/O. Be sure to sign up for their internet ads to get the best sale prices available from Ammo Bros.. Be aware that some of their sales are on-line only and they will not honor the price as a walk-in to the store on the same items. I learned this the hard way. But if you put in, and pay for, an on-line order, it takes about a week. They will send you an email when your stuff is there, and you can go get it. Please bring your order number with you, they can't search by name. The people are kind of hit-or-miss. Some of them are really nice and engaging, others don't seem to care if you are there or not. Also, sometimes the answers to questions will be different depending on who you ask. But I do shop there and enjoy it. But due to the inventory, pricing differences and some of the people's attitudes, can't give them a 5-star rating. Well worth a stop if you are in the area to see what they have. I hope that this review is helpful to someone.”
