Ultimately, they want to provide you with the best fit and best experience, rather than push you to make a sale. There is zero pressure, zero intimidation, zero rush and zero bs at OC Guns.

I attended their intro to handguns class, covering the basics of safety and proper form, and getting in some introductory shooting experience. John, our instructor, was very engaging and great at commanding attention when needed and building up the class's confidence. Afterward, I took them up on their 'newbie' offer of free range time and rental after class. Kevin signed me up for a lane, let me rent a couple of handgun models I researched previously, and critiqued my targets, giving some general feedback and advice. He also pointed me toward a couple other models that are known to be more friendly to left-handed shooters that I can test out in the future. Great place; a little on the older and smaller sides, but staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and attentive. I get the feeling that as I 'shop around' for my go-to range there's a strong chance I will gravitate back here, since these guys are passionate about what they do, and seem to want to inspire that passion in others. Definitely will make it a point to stop by again.

As expected for a weekend, there was a wait, but since we were off for the day, we didn't mind hanging out on the folding chairs in the retail section for 30 minutes. The staff is awesome--super friendly and easy to talk to--and the check-in was painless. While waiting, I noticed their optics prices are actually lower than most other shops in OC. I'll definitely be back when I'm ready to pick up another Holosun. The only real downside is their range rule: you have to reload your magazines at the shooting stall, not the back table. Because the space is tight, I couldn't reload while my friend was shooting. We ended up spending half our time just loading mags, which really cut into our actual trigger time. It's a solid spot and less expensive than other local ranges, so I'd come back alone, but I'll probably skip the "buddy trips" here since the reload rule makes it hard for two people to get their money's worth.

Cerakote. Well if you don't know what that is, you probably may not have a whole lot of interest in…read morethis review. If you do, however, read onnnnn...... So the new thing with firearms is custom finishing. Of course you have steel, stainless, aluminum, all sorts of plastic composites, etc., etc., which means that you're pretty hard pressed to find some way to color all of the firearm components equally and consistently. Enter the amazing Cerakote process. This is an ultra thin but also ultra durable ceramic based finish that is baked on, similar to powder coating. I've had a number of items refinished with this process, and I have to say that it is quite amazing. I certainly won't go for some of the crazy colors that they have available (i.e. pink, purple, Tiffany Blue, etc.), but rest assured that pretty much any color under the sun can be had for your little pets. The Cerakote process isn't limited to firearms either. It's just as well suited for any hardware that sees extreme weather or usage, and finishes well on metals and many plastics and composites. Applications are limited only by your imagination! Bring your parts already disassembled, or have Richard do it for you for a small fee, it's up to you. Of course you have OC Armory next door too, so you have the best of both worlds here! Purchase some eclectic hardware and have it customized, all in one stop! Oh yeah, 2A is also an 07 FFL so they can do any transfers or registrations that you may need as well, including out of state or custom stuff. Hours are by appointment only, enter from the entrance in the back!

I had a really disappointing experience with this gunsmith. They originally told me it would take a…read morecouple of weeks, but it ended up taking a month and two weeks. I needed them to Cerakote the slide, cut a notch in my grip module for the safety fit, add a trigger, and switch the mag release from the left side to the right. The communication was awful--multiple times I was told different pick-up dates, and they kept pushing it back without any clear updates. On top of that, they lied about the status of my firearm. They told me it was basically done, just needed to be put back together. But when I came in, they were still working on cutting the grip--so it actually wasn't close to being done at all. The lack of transparency was really upsetting. However, I will say, the only reason I'm not giving this a one-star review is that the gun actually came out really well--the Cerakote was nice, and the cutting done to my grip was done very well.
