I attended the Ladies Pistol Firearms and Safety course this past weekend in Burro Canyon. It was…read moresuch an informative and fun 7 hour course! I don't own or even want to own a gun (yet, maybe), but in this day and age, unfortunately, I feel it's necessary to learn how to use one and use one safely and confidently. So I've been wanting to take a firearms training course for a long time and this course was exactly what I was looking for. The first part of the course, we go over everything about the workings of a gun and how to properly handle one. We learn about gun etiquette and laws; it was a lot of material to go over, but Jesse, the owner, was really great at teaching and explaining everything step by step. By the time we actually got to handle a gun, I felt prepared. Not going to lie, I was still a nervous wreck, but with Jesse showing us and reminding us each step of the way, I felt very safe. To my surprise, my aim was actually not bad for a beginner! But I do have to give all the credit to the instructor. I cant say enough just how much I learned that day and I can keep raving about it, but if you're looking for a beginner firearms course, this one is definitely worth it! Thank you Jesse and his team for providing such an awesome learning experience.

Showing up to Gun class in the middle of no where with no prior gun experience with no cell service and alone, sounds like the perfect Saturday! Hahaha - And it was. Thankfully Darren and his two guys, were fabulous instructors! Good energy and lots of knowledge, not to mention super helpful and will lend a helping hand gladly to help build your confidence holding a gun... loading your gun or magazine. These guys give good instruction, than it's up to you to practice them right, inevitably; because Perfect practice makes for PERFECT. Thanks so much gentlemen, I will be returning to sharpen the skills I was shown today and break in my SIG P220 and Smith & Wesson Shield.

As an adult, I rarely feel that genuine, unfiltered giddiness that comes from being truly excited…read moreabout something anymore; the kind of feeling you had as a kid walking into Toys "R" Us for the first time and seeing rows upon rows of toys and treasures. I am happy to report that FF Firearms brought that feeling back tenfold with the reopening of their new location. Although they had only been open in the new space for a few days, FF Firearms was already drawing a strong crowd. During my visit, there were easily more than a dozen people inside browsing, asking questions, and checking out the inventory. Their firearm selection is impressive, with a wide variety of pieces displayed throughout the store. There is something genuinely exciting about seeing so many legendary firearms lined up and ready for the right owner. I stopped by not only to check out the new location, but also to purchase an extra magazine for a firearm I already own. Even though the store was busy, one of the employees still took the time to make small talk, check in with me, and make sure I had been helped. He even apologized for the wait, despite the fact that the line length was completely understandable given how busy they were. In the short time I was there, I was genuinely impressed by the kindness, professionalism, and attentiveness of the staff. After I left, I could not stop telling my wife how excited I was to come back and purchase a firearm from them in the near future. I saw several pieces I would love to add to my collection. One thing I would note is that the store itself is on the smaller side; there were so many people waiting to be helped that the door to the outside had to be propped open to allow for adequate ventilation. Please do not relocate again, FF Firearms. Having you within walking distance is dangerous for my wallet...but excellent for my collection!

Like any other indoor range they check ammo, but generally don't care what firearms you bring, most I've gotten is "Oh dude is that a X? Sweet." On the firing line. I only shoot pistols here, rifle and shotgun ammo must be bought from them (no thanks.). 25 yard range, ventilation is pretty good but FT3 in Stanton is definitely better. In the firing line the marks for distances are numbers on the wall for yardages with lines painted across the floor for reference. I typically pay $25-28 for a lane and 2-3 paper targets, if you want to bring your own it must be approved by them. Only thing that might be a turn off is the fact that it isn't the prettiest range, and the furnishings are pretty lackluster. I've never seen a chair on the firing line and there are wood benches about 10 feet behind the line. But for the value, solid target selection and good options for rentals (Glocks, M&P's, 1911's, revolvers, many more) you can't really beat it as a regular without spending significantly more for a club membership or range fees elsewhere.

To be completely honest, I started this class with a significant amount of fear regarding firearms. However, the patient, safe, and professional manner in which we were taught immediately put my mind at ease. Tom does an incredible job of prioritizing safety above all else, ensuring that every step is understood before moving forward. His teaching partner Val added such a wonderful, welcoming touch to the class. Her presence and guidance made the experience feel even more approachable and inclusive. Because of their combined efforts, I walked away with so much more confidence than I ever thought possible. If you have been hesitant or nervous about taking that first step, I cannot recommend this course enough--you will be in great hands.

The level of…read morecustomer service, communication and overall quality that you find here is honestly very elusive in this industry. Dave, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to actually help you without any pressure or attitude. If you've ever been to other firearm stores, you probably know what I mean. Many places can come off like they have a superiority complex, like you're supposed to already know everything. That's not the case here at all. At ShootSoCal, you can ask any question and they'll walk you through it without making you feel uncomfortable. That alone goes a long way and keeps me coming back. I've purchased items from them, had builds done and even had custom work completed and every single time the result has been the same: top-tier service and excellent results. They're consistent, professional, and genuinely care about their customers. I recommend them to everyone I know. If you're looking for a place that treats you right and delivers quality work, this is it.

Small shop, but good selection of equipment, from AR parts to carry bags, oil/maintenance kits etc. Also, staff gave me some practical advice about anodizing the steel barrel I had purchased (for getting a different color on it), getting a gun locker and outdoor ranges within a 45 minute drive. Lastly, I was offered assistance to assemble my firearm, but didn't need it since I'd been studying how to do that while waiting to take delivery. Bottomline: I'd use ShootSoCal as an FFL again.

Like many others, I changed my perspective drastically after the pandemic kicked off and got…read moreserious when it came to all things security especially with a family. That led me to making purchases, learning everything I could online/videos, adopting a normal practice of dryfiring to hone techniques, and monthly range visits to apply and adjust what I was learning. Admittedly this has tapered a bit in the last year or so with a growing family. That said, I've invested a lot of time and effort over the years and, while I'm certainly no expert and still have many deficiencies, am also not completely brand new. Fast forward to now, I took a class with David who I found to be a wealth of knowledge and very thorough in what he teaches. When it comes to grip and stance, he is able to illustrate key techniques very clearly to help you find the right technique and make small corrections that are very impactful. Much like having a trainer at a gym, David is able to closely examine your overall form to give insights and immediate feedback that you may not realize on your own. He gives you different principles in how to approach and think about the overall process as well. I noticed a dramatic improvements in speed and accuracy over the course of our session. His teachings also extend beyond just firearm proficiency but also general understanding of self-defense scenarios and what are the factors you should consider when it comes to protecting yourself and family. Talking things through with him overlaying his insights made me realize there were many things I hadn't ever factored into my thought process. Highly recommend overall.
