HK USP Elite .45, one of the coolest guns that Commiefornia will give you the privilege of owning.
Scott S.

Ever since I started getting into guns, buying/shooting/general "knowing" about, there's been a gun I wanted, but could never get. That gun is the Heckler and Koch USP Elite, chambered in .45 ACP (goo.gl/v9nRWQ). Thankfully the gun is on California's idiotic, communistical "roster", or the list of guns that California says are safe enough to have (goo.gl/p7M9m2). Which as far as I know, no other states use. And excludes many guns from such companies as Glock, Smith and Wesson, and other famous manufacturers who can be trusted beyond a shadow of a doubt to make safe guns. But that's what electing a bunch of communist liberals did for us, and ooh boy will it get worse in 2018. Back to the HK, I've always loved the way this gun looks. The extended slide to cover the huge 6" barrel. The chunky grip. The hammer and safety/decocking lever. The massive trigger guard. It just looks amazing, and knowing the strong connection it shares with the unattainable Heckler and Koch Mark 23 (goo.gl/58szCj) made it even more desirable for me. The issue is that no matter how hard I looked, I never was able to find an Elite in stock. It seemed like I was always a few months late, finding Facebook posts that mentioned shipments that had already been long gone, or talking to gun stores that basically said they had no idea when or if they would get any. So a few years ago, I mentally resigned myself to the idea that I would never own an Elite. But then one day, while dreaming about how great an Elite is, I happened to check a link to a Facebook post, for a store I've never heard of called Coyote Point Armory. At first I thought I was reading it wrong, but then it dawned on me - yes, they really were saying that they were expecting a shipment of Elites, and were pre-selling them now! Heart racing, I ran outside as fast I could (can't be talking about guns at work, not in this state) and called. You're still expecting the shipment? And two are unsold? And I can come tonight and get one of the last ones? I'll make up an excuse and leave work now! Off I drove, not quite racing but well in excess of the posted speed limit. The thought of the Elite was all encompassing. Could this really be the start of the process (thanks again Commiefornia) to actually owning this thing that I had thought I'd never have? As I neared the store, I started thinking all manner of negative thoughts. What if my HSC is out of date? What if my credit card gets declined? What if they already sold them and I'm too late? I nearly ran up the stairs and, with trepidation, approached the counter. Preparing myself for the worst, I asked them if there were any Elites left. There were, and I was welcome to buy one right that moment! Nobody has ever had a credit card presented that quickly. And thus began a 2 month process that, while much longer than anticipated, literally resulted in my dream coming true. Given the guns were not in stock, we could "buy" one, but it was really more reserving it. This was in early October, so my expectation was that by Halloween I would be happily putting the first rounds from my first HK and first .45 ACP firearm downrange. And then I realized that HK's civilian sales reputation (goo.gl/vZDQbh) was not, in fact, an exaggeration. A week went by, and I called. Coyote Point hadn't received word. Another week went by, another call. Still no word. No chance for Halloween range trips, maybe pre-Thanksgiving? Or not. Another week, it's now 2 weeks before Thanksgiving. The gun is in! Only 1 and a half months late. Oh well. This time, there was no rush. I drove over, in a bit of a mood, as I had realized an awful truth. While the gun was at the store, the 10 day waiting period (seriously California, get your act together) meant I wouldn't be able to get the gun until the week of Thanksgiving. A week I would be spending out of state. I got to Coyote Point, and finally beheld "my" Elite. Beautiful. Even better than in the pictures. Such a nice balance, the grip is large but fits my hands perfectly. High target sights. Match grade trigger. The decocker! And then it was time to give it back, glumly, as about 20 days of waiting was now ahead of me. Oh well, I've waited for years, a few extra, unanticipated days won't kill me. Probably. Finally, unbelievably, it was the day. I couldn't believe it, I was leaving on an international trip the next day, but I left work early to make sure I could beat traffic and pick up the gun and hit the range. When I finally got to Coyote Point, the salesman showed me how to operate it, and I absolutely floated to the range. I couldn't believe it, the Elite was now mine. As I loaded the magazine and racked the slide, everything felt even better than I had hoped. And when I took the first few shots, it was so accurate and just... amazing. Better than I could have hoped. So thank you Coyote Point, you made my dream come true. And that burnt bronze Desert Eagle .44 is very tempting...

See all

Truly one of the best gun stores in the entire Bay Area. Extremely knowledgeable, approachable,…read morefriendly, and experienced staff who will help you. If you are brand new to the firearm world there is probably not a better place to start than this shop. If you are just looking to buy just go in there let them know or ask their opinions and in my experience they will help you get what you want if its within their ability to do so. If your looking for more they can easily direct you to staff who offer group and private lessons who can take a novice shooter and make you better in a couple hours and are very supportive throughout the process. I really hope that Manzano keeps going and can set the standard for all other shops to strive for.

The staff behind the counter are incredibly knowledgeable and more importantly, they're actual shooters with real experience. You can tell right away these guys live the lifestyle and know their gear inside and out, not just random internet keyboard warriors pretending to know what they're talking about. They take the time to answer questions, give honest advice, and make sure you leave confident in your purchase. No pressure, no ego, just solid people who care about their customers and the shooting community. Rare to find a shop with this level of professionalism and authenticity these days. Easily one of the best FFL experiences I've had. Highly recommend supporting this place. I've been coming back since they opened and the service has stayed consistent

I was in Utah a few weekends ago on vacation and decided to check out some gun stores in the area…read moreto look for a Glock ahead of the CA ban starting July 1. It was a longshot but to my surprise, I was able to find a gun store in Utah with a brand new Glock 19 gen 3! It was crazy because I first called them asking if they had any and they said no then called me back 5 mins later saying that they actually did! The odds of that were really slim to none but I digress. Anywho, I called City Arms on 5/16/2026 to ask if I could do the transfer there and have the Utah dealer ship my CA compliant G19 there and the man that answered the phone told me some complete BS. At first he said glocks are no longer being allowed to ship to CA and no one can get them anymore then I brought up that the ban doesn't start until July 1, 2026 to which he finally told the truth and said that their lawyers advised them not to take any more glocks and that that may or may not change. That didn't sound too patriotic to me. I called City Arms because they are close to my house and convenient but I have never bought any guns from them before and I sure in the hell won't ever after this. I prefer to give my money to patriotic establishments which this one is not. I mean you can't expect much from a gun store in San Mateo County right?
