Excellent dealer. I've worked with Brian for almost two years and keep coming back for a reason. Appointments are structured and one on one. You get a full hour to go over what you need, ask questions, and make informed decisions without feeling rushed. Pricing is fair for both purchases and transfers. He stays transparent and will give you the most up to date numbers if you ask. Professional, reliable, and easy to work with. I plan to keep using his services going forward. Thanks again, Brian. read more

Finding great reviews of Brian led to making an appointment to sell a handgun. The entire experience was excellent from start to finish. Making an appointment was quick and easy. I found it fantastic that customers receive undivided attention in a professional, one-on-one environment instead of waiting in long retail lines. Brian is incredibly knowledgeable about California compliance, competitive in prices, easy to deal with, and offers a completely fair payout. The entire process is seamless and transparent. I highly recommend Brian Nussbaum & Associates if you want a stress-free transaction in the Bay Area. read more

Fantastically professional service. Brian runs his business the way I run mine and the way all small businesses should be ran. He is completely upfront and honest about every phase of the transaction to the point of even showing a customer his actual cost on products. His knowledge of firearms and the very complicated purchasing process is exceptional. The appointment based business plan saves both him and the customer lots of time and provides for a one on one and uninterrupted business interaction which is priceless and rare to find nowadays. After doing business with Brian I am now a very happy customer for life. Thank you again Brian for your professionalism and honesty. read more

First I'd like to start off by saying, Brian is a great guy! Answered all my questions and had great conversations about not just armory , but just about life . Made my visit very welcoming. Will do my business with Brian from now on. read more

I considered a number of local gun shops when I wanted to ship a rifle to my son out of state. I decided on Brian. He works with clients by appointments only, so you have his exclusive attention. He is very friendly and professional. Shows attention to detail. Takes time to answer all of your questions. He also carries non-lethal "firearms"; Byrna launchers and Byrna products. I highly recommend him and he is now my go to guy. read more

Couldn't be happier with Brian's service. Found what I was looking for and beat the price of other shops I looked at. Very knowledgeable and nice guy. Would definitely recommend him !!! read more

Brian's knowledge makes the process very simple and easy to understand. Will be going back for more business in the future without question.

Not your typical Gun Store. Brian is a one man operation and still manages to answer calls and service the customer in front of him. He's very friendly and has a variety of ammo and accessories for your pleasure. His fees are reasonable and transparent. I will definitely come back for my next purchases! read more

I got my license and bought my gun here I just went in today to buy ammunition, and I understand that I didn't have an appointment, but there's a way to talk to somebody who is trying to bring you business and purchasing from you. Brian is rude and does not know how to talk to customers. Do yourself a favor and go over to coyote point ammunition and gun store. They're friendly and they respect their customers. Absolutely terrible and disrespectful. read more

First time buyer. I called number of ranges and dealers and with many novice questions and they most seemed annoyed at my lack of knowledge. First time in the phone with me , Brian was Extremely patient with me despite my multitude of stupid repetitive questions. Set up an appointment where he Explained me everything. Guided me through the process Definitely recommend for anyone interested in learning about firearms and considering getting one. Puts no pressure to buy and takes time with you. I will be returning read more

Brian's a fantasic guy. Super easy to get a hold of on the phone and ask questions about costs to receive a rifle from another dealer. Turned out he actually could acquire the rifle that I was going to purchase, and to top it off, his pricing was better than where I was thinking of buying it from. Needless to say I ended up just ordering it from him directly. Super easy to schedule an appointment to get all of the necessary paperwork completed and for pickup after the requisite wait period. Recommending him to all of my buddies that I go to the range with as a great local resource since most all of the other gun shops in SF and surrounding area have closed over the years. Will definitely call him when I want to purchase another firearm, ammo or other related items. read more

I highly recommend Brian Knowledgeable, intelligent, honest, helpful, friendly, experienced and good pricing I came in and bought a Sig P365 (he had the best price) and wanted to look at buying a Ruger LCP Max and Smith M&P12. He said to hold off and wait for the reliability to be proven. I researched online and there is truth to that. The other gun stores were prepared to sell to me. So his integrity is more important than selling more guns. I appreciate that. Also an interesting guy to talk with. Knows a lot about many things. read more

Service is real bad. I'm new to buying a gun so had several questions. I want to make sure I'm doing everything right. Dude canceled my appointment and started giving me an attitude saying I was treating him like a dog. I've worked in customer service for more than 10 years. At the end of the day it's his loss. Complete ass hole. After he said whatever on the text thread I got mad. It just shows he doesn't care. Dude is just mad I'm not buying the gun from him and buying it from someone else who can get the gold platting done. The text thread is right there. Good luck doing business with this guy. read more

Just got off the phone with Brian and was fully impressed with his candor, suggestions and demeanor (which is oftentimes missing with gun sellers). That conversation strongly suggests he was a honorable person and one I would visit first with any gun issues. Best to you, Brian! read more

Brian's shop is a freaking candy store for shooting sports enthusiasts. He has, or can get, anything legal in California. When I went in to buy some ammunition, on a whim I inquired if he had any "nice 1911's I can look at." He walks over to his safe and pulls out an unassuming white box. In it is a brand new Springfield Armory 1911 TRP Operator with the full rail. This is a very rare find anywhere, but especially in stock at a local dealer's shop. I bought it on the spot and I'm happy to say the process itself also exceeded my expectations. The coolest part about Brian's store is that, because it's appointment-only, Brian is totally focused on YOU during your visit. It makes the purchasing process so much easier when the owner/expert is answering your questions instead of a normal retail salesperson. It's also entertaining hearing his many stories and anecdotes as you fill out the normally boring forms. Ask about his ammunition deals and you'll be happy with the prices , as well. 10/10, highly recommended and a great value. Protip: parking can be tough during business hours, so arrive a few minutes early for your appointment. read more

Brian is an A-1 proprietor...honest, transparent, my transaction went as smooth as it could, and he's good company...My new go-to for firearms. read more

What can you say about Brian make an appointment stop by and Brian will personally help you pick out the perfect firearm for you. Brian is 100% all about safety. And give you a one on one feeling and most of all, you're not being rushed for a sale if you're a beginner, I highly recommend Brian I would not go anywhere else because they will not take the time to sit there and explain to you a little things like recoil, and what damage the wrong firearm can do read more

Brian was great to work with and very informative. He also explained the process to me and his pricing is very fair. I will go to see Brian for all my future needs. read more

After 6 months since my last transaction with Brian, I found myself returning to do another transfer. It helps when the majority of manufacturers/online resellers have Brian's FFL on file, making the process extremely easy for me to have something shipped to Brian. Within a day of my package arriving, Brian inventoried the item and called me to schedule an appointment. Quick, simple, and no problems whatsoever. On my pickup date, Brian even had the time to facilitate an FSC test for my fiance. Brian took the time to explain the questions she missed and overall, extremely informative. He even made time to show me some new AR lowers on his distributors' websites; when I thought I've seen them all (I was wrong!). Another painless transaction and I'm happy Brian helped make it happen! read more

Yes! He's all around a good dude! Friendly and helpful. He does get very busy so scheduling a appointment is very hard important.

In today's day with extremely complicated rules and laws it is nice to have someone willing to go the extra mile for service. Brian is the very example of you get what you pay for. If you are looking to save a few bucks and want someone that is rude, cheap, or will not take the time to treat you like a decent human being this is the WRONG person. I have used Brian on a few occasions and every single time I have been treated with respect and decency. Brian will take time to explain to you what he is doing and why it is necessary. He will explain the laws and rules in a language that is easy for the novice, as well as the professional, to understand. I will not be going anywhere else in the future. You might save a few dollars with another dealer, but I guarantee you will never receive the service that you truly want unless you come here. read more

Just the best shopping experience out there. Visit Brians "Man Cave", relax, chat, and let a professional show you how it's done.

Brian was the nicest dude when I came in, around march to purchase a lower. He didn't BS me and made the process simple and effective. We chatted and such about his shop and products. He let me choose my serial number from a line up he had. Great guy. 110% will be buying from him again!!!! No Hassle No BS No hidden Fee's No fudged up paperwork No Issues BEST PRICES AROUND! read more

Just left this evening, and man Brian is such a funny guy and can hold a conversation. Outstanding experience truly! -Andre read more

Brian was Very easy to work with , no pre, no hassle , no questions were too stupid. Brought my Daughter and Son in law and both appreciated and enjoyed the experience read more

Brian has personally helped me secure an HK P7 which I have been on the hunt for, for quite some time. He is to the point, knowledgeable and prompt- what else is there to ask for? Looking forward to other acquisitions! Thanks again, Brian! read more

great store and very informative very helpful over the phone i will get all my gunz from there read more

My wife and I purchased our first guns here. The owner of the store is incredibly friendly and honest. He gave us all the information without any sneaky moves or shenanigans, and he took his time to explain his thoughts on guns that would suit us, how much they cost and why, and basically any question that popped into our heads. I took my gun safety written test there too (I passed), and he took the time after to explain the answers to the questions I got wrong (the questions were regarding ages you can have a handgun in California and one other similar to that). He even showed me how to disassemble my gun and lubricated it for me free of charge. He genuinely wants people to be responsible and safe gun owners who are informed on gun owmership. On top of all that, he was a cool guy to talk to about regular conversation stuff for the 2 or so cumulative hours we spent there. Hands down, this was the best customer experience I've had in my life... at any store or website... ever. Can't recommend this store enough. Prices are good too. read more

Great service. Quick and easy. Great customer service. By appointment only, so no waiting around in long lines!

First off I would like to say that out of all the gun shops I visited within the Bay Area, this place is by far my favorite place to shop. Their prices are competitive and their staff is knowledgeable and patient. Brian, Joaquin, & Harold were all very informative and explained things in detail throughout my purchase. I purchased a CZ75D PCR and from start to finish the transaction process went smoothly. Joaquin even took the time to show me how to disassemble and clean the gun. Every questions were answered. Since this first transaction went so smoothly, I will be purchasing a lot more items in the near future. Keep up the good work! Elaine and I are very happy with your services! Thank you! read more

Always a pleasure to do business here. Best FFL on the peninsula for ammo xfers or new purchases. Brian is always very helpful, friendly and super accommodating. Highly recommended. read more

Brian and his team answer questions that anyone less than a weapon enthusiasts wouldn't other wise know, and do it in a manner that doesn't make you feel like an idiot. While it is a small mom and pop type shop, those are the best ones. Ive been to multiple weapons dealers who are either arrogant and or slick talkers like car salesmen. Trust me I know, I sold cars for years and can smell bullshit with the quickness. Although his selection is limited, again its a small shop. He can get you what you want and will work with you to the best of his abilities. Personally I go off of vibes as well as customer service, I get nothing but good vibes and like to think I'm a good judge of character. This is my go to spot so much so, that I bought 3 weapons in 3 days spending over 4k dollars. Some special order and others hard to find, youd probably have a better chance finding a unicorn that shits pixy dust in East Oakland read more

A buddy of mine recommended Mr. Nussbaum's shop, so I decided to check it out. Very pleasant experience with Brian. He answered all my questions and was very attentive. I appreciated that very much! I've always wanted to get a G19 and Brian did have it in stock, so I pulled the trigger... Had a bit of a hiccup with my DROS because of my DL, but it was sorted out fast! Waited the stupid 10 days and now she's home! Thanks Brian! Wonderful experience! It was a pleasure doing business with you! read more

I recently purchased my first handgun from Brian Nussbaum. I had minimal knowledge and experience with firearms, but Brian was extremely helpful. He is knowledgeable and will gladly take the time to explain answers to any questions you may have. I would recommend this place to any gun owner and anyone just starting out with firearms. Will be back for more ammo. read more

Great guy with the best customer support out of any of the local gun shops. Checked around numerous online retailers to find me the best deal. Compared prices and also showed additional firearms that he thought I might also like. Extremely knowledgeable about all of the gun laws that are forever changing in CA. He really makes you feel like a valued customer and does his best to make sure you're a satisfied customer. From now on this will be the shop I buy and transfer guns. read more

I have purchased a few items from Brian and can absolutely recommend him and his shop for any gun needs. I think what makes his shop better than most are: - No "old timer" grumpy attitudes you find at so many gun shops. He's very helpful and open to people of all skill and experience levels. - A willingness to help - weather it's with paperwork, or setting up your gun. If he has the time, he seems like he is very willing to help - However I've seen his shop pretty busy at times, and he's only 1 guy, so I wouldn't count on him having free time on every visit. - He can get anything you want to buy. He doesn't show much, because as he explained to me, his last location ended up being a "gun museum" where no one wanted to buy the guns after other customers handled them, they wanted a "new" one, whatever that means. So anyway, he doesn't display a ton of stuff, but can get practically anything. Just ask, he can get it. He's very well connected with suppliers. read more

Brian is the MAN. he support the troops and definitely knows what hes doing i went here with my home boy a while back and these guys definitely got the best prices read more

AAA+ customer service keep safe everyone. read more

I'll be back for sure. KEC read more
