But by the end of the class, I felt very confident in shooting and handling my gun. Dave was my instructor and he was awesome! We also received some great knowledge from instructor Gene : ) I chose this class because I knew I wanted to get premium service. The class was small so there was a lot of personal attention. I did not only want to check the boxes for CCW requirements but also wanted to get some real-world training. I will definitely go back to Cobra Tactical for additional classes and to renew my CCW.

However, my most recent visit has been frustrating. I dropped off a handgun at the end of November for three services and was quoted 6-8 weeks max. I had planned to attend a training in late February, so based on that timeline I expected to have my handgun back by the end of January. We are now approaching 15 weeks, and my firearm is still not ready. Can't even reschedule my class as the staff has been unable to give me a date each time I've called. I didn't want to leave a negative review because my previous experiences here have been great, but this delay is honestly unreasonable. If I would have known the turn around time I would have skipped on services. A friend of mine dropped off his handgun at a different shop for the same services and had it back within a month. I am paying full price for 2 of the 3 services so I might as well have just taken it to the other shop.. I would still consider purchasing items from this store, but unfortunately I will most likely not be returning here for gunsmithing services.

One of the guys who used to help us often Austin was/is always so helpful, friendly, and goes above and beyond. I really don't want to take my business elsewhere but the decline is pushing that direction.

They wouldn't accept even the smallest gratuity. They could have charged me hundreds of dollars for cleanings but instead provided a free service and a smile. Truly great Americans.

To mention to me the reason why he hadn't gotten to my firearm was because it takes to long to change a drill bit on his machine this was mid 2025 sometime When I finally came in to retrieve my firearm, I was informed that it had been sold. I was told that attempts were made to contact me, including certified mail, but I never received any such notice. When I asked the gentleman in the front clearly fustrated ( not his fault ) tells me "your gun is gone " Tells me write my number down and to wait for a call back As of now, this matter has not been resolved. I am extremely disappointed with the lack of communication and handling of customer property. I would strongly advise anyone considering this business to get clear written timelines and policies before leaving firearms here.

A lot of dealers these days arent keen on doing that these days. I called them, and they said no problem. They notified me less than an hour after I got the UPS notice that the package arrived at their location. I showed up just a short while later to start the process. Its a nice small shop in a quiet part of town. I really appreciated how chill the atmosphere was. I think it took all of 10 minutes to get the paperwork done, and off I went. 10 days wrapped, and I went for my pickup today. Again, the shop was super chill. Took less than 10 minutes to wrap everything up. Start to finish, the process was painless. Most gun shops are typically not places I'm super comfortable at. They tend to have semi aggressive staff, customers, or both. And they also tend to be very vocal about their political affiliations. VC Armory had none of those things. That alone is going to make them my go to LGS from here on out.

They do not understand all gun laws and there for make their customer jump through more legal hoops than need be. I don't expect every customer to know the laws so they are unaware VC is slightly incompetent. I even pointed out their error but they just raised their voices and yelled at me. In California , when buying a rifle, it is NOT necessary to show two forms of ID. If you have a California True ID (Golden Bear in corner with no restrictions) that is all you need. They insisted I needed more. Here's the law: Only if you have restrictions or are purchasing a hand gun or it's a PO box address etc... is a secondary ID proving address required). But they are so arrogant and elitist blow-hards they wouldn't even turn the page on the form that they used as their proof showing me. I said on the first page it states NO secondary ID required for rifles. But he refused to even look at the 1st page and read where it clearly states the secondary ID rule is ONLY for hand gun sales. So lazy. So every single rifle purchaser that had a California DL True ID with no restrictions and their address correct on the iD was and is made to show a secondary ID. Completely unnecessary so I asked them to send my "receiver(rifle) to their competitor down the street who is up on the law. And they're cheaper too (and very friendly with no attitude. VC waste their customer's time making them jump through hoops needlessly and are very argumentative when you show them the law. Shame. By the way...I had lost my registration for my car and was in the process of renewing my registration so I didn't have it as secondary proof handy and I wasn't going to stand in line at the DMV just to get a copy when they would send me my new one a couple weeks later. Nope. I rather deal with the competent FFL guys down the street. My history: Gun collector of 50 years with over 350 purchases over a lifetime. I was an FFL myself and I am very familiar with the laws. Most gun buyers will assume their FFL knows the laws. Fact: Not all ffl's understand things they read and need it explained to them. We're all human. But when they get arrogant, loud and insistent by refusing to acknowledge they misread their own DOJ documents in front of them....that's just a ignorance and incompetence. These are guys I would think should not be doing their own Taxes let alone filling out gun transfers.

After a month passed I called to hear a status and nothing. I contacted back after a few weeks and no answer, nor calls back with the status. Keep in mind, Months passed and still no response and They never answer the phones, and At this point I wanted my stuff back and went to shop several times and no one was ever there. I finally get a response back I can pick them up. They told me they didn't touch them and couldn't get to it after having it for months. After I looked at my project I was furious. Seems they started it and had it sit with the humidity . As you can see in the pictures rust is all over my lower and upper. Luckily I took pictures of it when I dropped it off. The gun was not dropped off in this condition. They claimed they didn't touch but then said we put it in acetone. So first they said didn't touch it but after the I sent them them the pictures they said they put it in acetone. No sense of what they did or anything. And left it and let rust accumulate. They offered to fix it but after dealing with them, they lost credibility to me and after months of no response there was no way I wanted to deal with them again. I requested to be reimbursed for my damages for another shop to remove the rust from my gun and they declined. If you'd like to see pictures of what I received back check out my google review on them, pictures are there.
