My experience at Greta's Guns, 4228 E Los Angeles Ave, Simi Valley, CA 93063, raises serious…read moreconcerns about their compliance with federal and state firearm regulations. I was purchasing a Kriss Vector 10mm, yet the store released my firearm to another individual who was there to pick up a Kriss Vector .45 ACP. They failed to verify the serial number before transfer which is a fundamental requirement under federal law for proper firearm disposition. This is not a clerical error. It is a breakdown in mandatory record‑keeping and transfer procedures, the very safeguards designed to prevent misidentification, theft, and unlawful possession. Confusing two serialized firearms of different calibers underscores a serious lapse in inventory control. Any FFL that mishandles serialized inventory in this way is demonstrating a dangerous disregard for regulatory obligations. I strongly advise others to consider the legal risks before doing business here.

TLDR: Stan (the owner) is an uneducated, hard-headed, lazy, paranoid old man. Take your business…read moreelsewhere if you value your time. First, there are his working hours. I've pulled up multiple times at 4:30PM, 30 minutes before closing DURING business days, and the store will already be closed up. No explanation, nothing. On TOP of already being open only 4 days per week, sometimes Stan will just take 2 more days off unannounced. You will just show up at his storefront only to be greeted with a sign that says, "taking Thurs and Fri off, see you next Tues." Also, I visited once to pick up ammunition and Stan is at the counter doing paperwork on his laptop and informs me I will have to wait for him to finish. I politely answered that's fine. Then proceeded to wait 20 minutes doing nothing before he "finishes" his paperwork and helps me. There was NO other person working at the store. Based on my experience, Stan clearly does not value your time, only his own. He may have lower fees but it is NOT worth your time. If you DO plan on visiting for God knows what reason, call ahead. But you're much better off taking your business elsewhere, plenty of good FFLs in the area (greta's, smokin b, etc) Third thing, Stan does NOT understand current California Gun Laws. His mentality is simply "My Shop, My Rules." You cannot reason with him, if you print out CA penal codes he will just throw it in the bin. He is not one of those pro 2A shops that wishes to empower his community. He is a paranoid conservative owner who only cares about himself. And if he THINKS you will harm him or his business in any way even if what you're doing is completely legal, he will just yell at you. He simply does not care. Despite holding an FFL07 license to manufacture, the owner panicked over a completely legal Glock upper assembly. It does not matter if its a gen 3 or gen 6, whether the slide or barrel is serialized or not, they are BOTH NOT FRAMES OR RECEIVERS in the eyes of the CA DOJ. I urge you Stan to read up on CA DOJ Penal Codes. He even went so far as to say this transfer will "put him in jail." Stan has no problem transfering a gen 3 upper. But if it is gen 6 upper, he will freak out saying that it must be DROS'd as a complete firearm, even though the gen 3 he transfered was NOT registered as a firearm. He seems to believe ANYTHING that is serialized is a receiver or frame which is very far from the truth. First off, a handgun part cannot EVER be classified as a receiver, that is reserved for LONG GUNS. Handgun parts can be classified as a frame. And secondly, a handgun upper assembly is NOT classified as a frame because it does not house a trigger mechanism or sear. LOOK IT UP in CFR handbook. He is just a paranoid old man who only cares about himself. And he will accuse you of trying to ruin his shop based on nothing but his own paranoia. Mind you these experiences all took place within about a month. It doesn't take long for Stan to show his true colors. This is my final warning, stay away from this shop. I don't know what it was like before but I can tell you what it is like right now, and it is not a friendly 2A shop. The owner is a lazy and selfish paranoid old man, who you do NOT want to deal with.

I have thought long and hard about posting this review. I truly am a huge supporter of any local…read morebusiness, but the end result was too disappointing. I have to leave this review. I try to support small local businesses whenever I can, especially ones in my own neighborhood. In early January I stopped into Addax Tactical while I was out riding my e-bike with my dog. The staff were friendly, they were cool about my dog being there, and they even let me bring my bike inside. My first impression was positive. A little later I went back to order a rifle. I wanted a Henry Big Boy .357 Lever Action Rifle. They didn't have it in stock, and I was told it would take about two to three weeks to arrive because the SHOT Show convention was coming up. While doing the paperwork, I also decided to purchase a Ruger 10/22 so I could complete both purchases with a single background check. I left a deposit of about $1,200 toward roughly $2,000 total for the two rifles. Both rifles are very standard models that most gun stores typically have available or can obtain quickly. I could have easily purchased them elsewhere, but I made a deliberate choice to support a smaller shop in my neighborhood and was willing to wait the extra couple of weeks. Based on the timeline I was given, I expected the rifles to arrive by late January and to have them in my possession by mid-February after the required 10-day waiting period. That didn't happen. After three weeks I called to check on the order. Nothing had arrived yet. I waited another week and called again. Still nothing. The responses were always very casual, with little explanation other than that the rifles had been ordered. Around six weeks into the process, I was told the Ruger had arrived but they hadn't called because they assumed I wanted to pick up both rifles at the same time. I went in immediately and started the paperwork to take possession of the Ruger. During that visit I learned something that had never been mentioned before: the Henry rifle had not actually shipped yet, and the shop generally places firearm orders in batches rather than ordering individual rifles. This was the first time I had heard that, even though the original estimate had been two to three weeks. At that point I agreed to upgrade to the octagonal-barrel version of the Henry since I had always wanted that model anyway, and I was told the change would not affect the delivery timeline. After the 10-day waiting period I picked up the Ruger and again asked about the Henry. The answer was still that it had not arrived yet. By this point we were about eight weeks into the process, with no clear timeline. About a week later I called again and received the same answer. At that point I decided to cancel the Henry order and request a refund. I was told the refund would come from accounting and that I should expect a check in two to three weeks. After two weeks I called again and was told it could take up to 30 days. I eventually went to the shop in person to check on the refund. This time I was told I could not bring my bike or dog inside, even though I had been there several times before with both and it had never been an issue. Eventually I received a call saying the refund check had arrived. For the sake of transparency, I'm writing this from memory without the receipts directly in front of me, so the dollar amounts may be off by a few dollars either way, but the numbers below are very close to what was paid and refunded. When I picked up the check, the amount returned was about $370 out of the roughly $1,200 deposit I had paid. That means that after roughly 12 weeks, the final outcome of this transaction is that I effectively ended up with a $830 Ruger 10/22 -- a rifle that typically sells for a few hundred dollars at most gun shops. Even assuming some type of restocking fee, it's difficult to understand how that result makes sense, particularly for a rifle that, according to the shop, had not even shipped yet when I cancelled the order. I went into this purchase specifically because I wanted to support a small neighborhood business like Addax Tactical and was willing to wait longer than usual to do so. Unfortunately, after the delays, the lack of clear communication about how orders were handled, and the final refund outcome, the entire experience ended up being extremely frustrating. If you're considering ordering a firearm here, my advice would simply be to make sure you clearly understand the ordering process, timeline expectations, and refund policies before leaving a deposit. Posting this simply to document my experience so other customers know what to expect when placing a special order here.
