I will keep this simple and straight forward. You will not be disappointed taking any of John's CCW courses. He takes the time with each and everyone to teach good techniques and get rid of your bad habits. I left his course shooting better than I ever did in just one day. I am going to take more of his courses in the near future. Thank you John. Danny Segura Riverside read more

Attended my third CCW training (renewal) with John Galetta and his team at Brothers and Arms. Very knowledgeable, interesting and informative class. Love the use of story, video, images and personal interaction with him and his team - feels like a great family. Shooting instruction by Chris Galetta was also professional and valuable. I highly recommend Brothers and Arms for training and instruction. read more

Excellent class. Lots of information and very informative. They cover everything even areas on self defense that you would never think of. I highly recommend taking their class. Everyone at the class and on the range are professional and great to work with. HIGHLY RECOMMENED read more

I recently took my AR to have zeroed in and double check the patriot pin/AR mag lock I installed myself. Had the pleasure speaking directly with John who looked over my rifle. We had a lengthy conversation on why I chose my CA compliance parts instead of the juggernaut. Safety of my patriot pin vs juggernaut recommended made me switch over. He literally spent time to break down everything for me and...answer questions regarding my next choice of firearm pistol. I've been to other FFL dealers and been just another number. Highly recommend this place as I got way more information to educate me than I expected or bargained for. Future business for me is Brothers and Arms. I expect to take my CCW course with the range in connection to location. Thanks John! Anthony A. read more

Took a CCW Renewal course and our instructor was John Galletta. As a long time ccw holder and firearm enthusiast, I was very impressed by mr Galletta's knowledge of principals and applying those principals to his instruction. A very safe class, and I did truly enjoy the course and improved on my level of skills. I would definitely highly recommend Mr Galletta and this company for any fire arm training you are seeking. read more

Riverside CCW Training John Galleta, Chris, and its team are wonderful.  I highly recommend them.  They are caring and go above and beyond to make sure that we all learn and become safe and better shooters.  I felt that they truly care and that I got a lot more than what I expected.  His method of teaching using life experience and his background, instead of following outlines is amazing.   They have become my instructors and friends for the long run.  Thank you guys.  If you want to become a better and safer shooter and become more self-confident, John is your guy. read more

I highly recommend Brothers & Arms. I just completed my Initial CCW course with John, and I absolutely loved it. Honestly, I didnt know what to expect, but it was an awesome experience and I learned a ton of things that I would have never known had I not attended this course. John is extremely knowledgeable, and he has the credentials to back it up. Overall John is just a good guy, and he is very passionate about teaching others how to use firearms safely and effectively. Furthermore his staff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful as well. I will definitely be signing up for other firearms training courses he offers as well. Dont waste your time with other firearms instructors, sign up with Brothers & Arms today. Thanks, William Evans read more

I had the great opportunity to take the Basic gun and rifle safety course with John (and Eddie). He made everyone feel safe and comfortable and answered any and all questions we had.

Thank you John for your kindness and expertise. Definitely going back to shoot!!! PS..Thank You for playing Pomp and Circumstance during our certificate ceremony!! read more

Let me begin by saying that I'm no Yelp buff, but after my experience I was inclined to spread the good word about this business. Anyone in OC and IE looking for a reliable, honest, and welcoming gun shop should WITHOUT question and WITHOUT hesitation look to John and Brothers & Arms! I'm a life long customer after the first visit! read more

I've been a gunsmith for over 10 years and I've been using Brothers & Arms True Blue Gun Oil & hite (Heater Grease) for the past 2 years with excellent results. I really appreciate how the grease lubricates the shotgun magazine tube / slide as well as the internal parts of the guns. The owner John Galletta is a really sharp guy and when it comes to guns, he knows what he's talking about. This is a good product and a good place to do business. read more
