I am a security guard in Dtla and former Marine vet. I been coming to this place for about a year now and I can honestly say this is the best gear store in LA AREA. They have great selection of vest to pouches for my duty belt. The owner helped me pick out the plate and size I needed and kept me up to date on shipment details of my body armor. In all it was a great experience coming to this and I would highly recommend. read more

Broadway Army Store - This is a level 3 + ceramic plate that I got from this place. - Uniforms Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Baton won't close all the way and I've only used it about 4 times only . Do not recommend. Even if it's "metal " tends to break to the point the top piece of the baton fell and I'm glad I have my taser and pepper spray. If not I'd be in the hospital cause of this baton not working properly. I've also bought a baton holder and I even made sure with the sales rep but apparently he mention it was universal but do not fit on my duty belt good. Do not RECOMMEND. Best to order from Amazon or different local shop. Oh and the Grip !! It looks like a dog chewed on it when I DONT EVEN HAVE A DOG. read more

Awesome service he made sure I got the right thing. Thanks a lot man I appreciate you

This place is awful terrible customer service. I placed an order over the phone almost $300 worth of clothes. The woman at the front desk was extremely rude. I had to wait for another employee to come to bring my order when I receive my order the older woman at the desk not attempted to snatch the bag from me. I asked her if I could view the clothes first and she told me I was rude. I went outside to inform the other employee that that type of behavior is unacceptable. He did absolutely nothing and said do I still want to buy the clothes of course I don't. I would never recommend this place to anybody. Take your money somewhere else. read more

Thank to Ruben for helping me out with my Velcro patches and getting them sowed on my shirt today! It was my first time in this store and I'm definitely coming back whenever I need any of my gear replaced, new uniforms or any uniform essentials! This place has everything you need and is 100% a 1 stop shop family owned business. Thanks again!!!!! read more

Came in here and had a great conversation with staff, but they failed to tell me there is a no refund policy upon check out. The items weren't usable, completely untouched and tagged with original receipts from only a few days before. Took them back and was told they get asked for refunds all day everyday and that the policy is store credit only. No sign or representation to indicate a no refund policy what so ever. So maybe that's why people ask all the time?? Dumb if you ask me. Sticking to Major Surplus in Gardena from now at least they're reasonable people. read more

Rubin is a godsend! He explained everything throughly and took his time to recommended certain items for a small girl like myself. This is the place to go in a chaotic crisis! Someone give Rubin a raise after this virus dissipates! read more

They have a ton of stuff but is a bit overpriced. The place is super clean and the staff is great!

Staff is very helpful Found what I needed easily Prices are reasonable Would definitely go back for my uniform needs read more

This my favorite army shop in DTLA. I have been coming here for years. The employees in the shop are super helpful and knowledgeable. Ask for Ruben. He will help you find what you need. If they don't have what you are looking for he can order your item and mail it to you. Stop by and check out their great selection of bags, shoes, clothes and other tactical gear. You won't be disappointed! read more

If you love military or police stuff.....this is your place. I am a military aficionado and love military style shirts, sweaters, boots and jackets. All are available for sale at this place. For instance, you can buy camouflage pants and police-inspired clothing. Please note, you will not be able to official police clothing unless you have a badge or law enforcement ID. But the knock-off stuff you can buy with no questions asked. I bought a US Army and military inspired clothing for $8 bucks a piece. I also like military style sweaters (I believe the British military wear these). They had those for $40 which is a great price. They sell knives, compasses, backpacks---literally anything you need if you or your loved-ones get a kick out of military stuff. Again the prices in general were very reasonable. I also see official law-enforcement in here a lot which means they know where to shop for their gear. There is only street parking available. read more

See all

If you work security or use their equipment this is the perfect place to come it is a bit of a parking issue tho

I have been a customer at this store ever since the Rampart area Quartermaster closed. I moved away from the area several years ago. But still conduct business here. Ruben has always been very accommodating to my specific needs and wants. This is a small location. But they are huge on customer service and products. From clothes to gear. Thank u Ruben!! read more

Cheats and scammers . Selling products they are not suppose to sell for more than our average military exchange . Some of the products are fake made in China . Thiefs read more

Very clean place they have a variety of things to choose from. I came here to get some security shirts and a baton holder for my husband. The polos were $16 and were very good material my husband loved it. When looking for the baton holder the guy that was there helped me choose the correct one even showed me how the baton fit in it so I knew i was purchasing the right thing. Im definitely going to visit this place. Only downside is there is no parking its right in the heart of downtown so you gotta pay one of those parking places or look for a meter. read more

My new favorite outdoor surplus store. Great location, great staff, great selection, great prices. Rueben is awesome! I can't wait to shop again. read more

Great service and prices!! The employees and owner were helpful and very nice. They helped me look for my size and styles I were interested in. They let me try on all the things I were interested in. The prices are awesome, especially in the used section! Some of the unbranded new items look so-so, but there were some great finds in the used section - high quality jackets actually from the army and/or brand name ones at 1/3 of their regular prices! read more

I love this store. The employees are always a HUGE help and VERY nice. If they don't have what you're looking for in store at the time, they have no problem ordering it for you. I've been a customer for two years now!!! read more

I called asked if they had xxl security polo shirt and the had them in stock. They pull the shirts and had the receipt ready when I walked in, Best & Quickest service ever! thanks read more

Its ok, the only real saving grace was the staff was super friendly. The selection was there but didn't seem very organized. I was looking for security jackets but they had 2 or 3 different places in the store with security jackets/shirts. read more

We needed new pepper spray for the wife. This place came up in a Yelp search so we wandered over. It is a narrow, but deep store. We easily found what we were looking for. The gentleman working was knowledgable, nice and helpful. We went in with no expectations, but left surprised and happy. Customer service is sub par at best in most places. It was nice to have someone actual take it seriously. Their prices were fair too. read more

My daughter is a student at a local University enrolled in the ROTC program to join the Army. She had a list of items to get for field training and went to purchase boots (she was gonna use Amazon but I told her to support a local business) The employee there showed her what boots she should get and they TOLD HER THEY WERE IN REGULATIONS for the Army. My daughter took them home and her first mistake was throw away Box. The next day she was informed by her Commander that the Boots look perfect but can't have a Zipper and they are in fact OUT of regulations contrary to the employees word. My daughter called the store and was told "sure bring them in we will return them". When she arrived she was told sorry can't take them back because you wore them we can see a scuff on bottom (I hairline mark on the rubber sole after she tried walking in them) ...So now my daughter is out $120.. So moral of the story 1 She made 2 mistakes...Trusting a 3rd party company to tell her Army Regulations and 2 Assuming that they would actually follow through with returning them. After hours back and forth wasted I told her forget just order them on Amazon. I hate using them over local stores but if the local business is gonna give faulty information on Regulations then not follow through with a return they don't nee our Business. I agree my Daughter made a mistake but she just wanted to exchange for in Regulation shoes. Please inform your employees to not disclose Army regulations. Also I will recommend to the commander that fellow local soldiers do the same and order somewhere else . read more

No refund. Don't even try anything or wear it. As far as you wear one time. 1 minute. Then. You can NOT exchange it. However the server is really good when you going to purchase. And then you fucked up read more

they have a nice selection for a fair price. found everything I needed and then some. workers were very helpful, attentive and friendly. I'd come back for sure! read more

You have to listen to me. Never Never ever buy anything from this place. You will really dispoint after your purchase something from here

"Bad Experience" The sold my elderly father poor quality military looking binoculars. Brand was "Twin Star 30x60 camouflage green" . from my first look at them I could tell they are $25 dollar value china made. My dad paid $65. To top it off I'm not sure if they sold them broken or if they just broke from poor quality. in the first use had a rattle inside "Never Dropped". Tried returning them they said they would get them fixed. When I returned to pick them up they said they had fixed them. Turns out they lied. the collimation was now off (double vision) or they have a very poor repair man. Their remark now was "You can' t return them now because they have been repaired and are no longer new!""You should have paid better attention when you bought them" I just took it as a loss rather than argue. Over the year we had purchased 6 different military shoulder bags from them "they would repair any rips that developed" I thought we were valued customers! Turns out we were not. read more
