This review is not just for the gun club- which is fantastic! Great equipment, excellent staff,…read morenice bar and friendly patrons who are always willing to offer advice and tips- But also for trap and skeet training lessons with Blake Fahmie. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about your progress--whether you're just getting started or refining advanced skills--Blake at the Martinez Gun Club is your guy. From the first moment, he made everything feel approachable, with zero pressure and endless patience. He has a calm, no-rush teaching style that creates the perfect environment for learning. Blake takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, never making you feel rushed or overwhelmed, and always meeting you where you're at. His ability to work with beginners while also helping experienced shooters fine-tune their technique is truly impressive. You can tell he loves what he does, and it shows in the results. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to grow in the sport at any level.

Great instructors. My daughters had zero, no firearm shooting experience and went to this class. I…read moretook my girlfriend shooting but I never thought her the basics of jams and firearm techniques. Chuck and the other instructor, sorry I forgot his name, took the time to teach them. The majority of the time was spent on shooting. Yes, they did give us a safety briefing but it was mainly shooting. They were very patient, especially to my nervous girlfriend. It's been well over 3 days now and they still talking about how much fun they had. Next time I'll have them teach them shotguns. I highly recommend them especially nowadays.

I highly recommend this class for anyone who wants to know how to properly use firearms. Also, I think this class would be very beneficial for women who want to learn defensive shooting! This class is informative and fun. Chuck was very professional and knowledgeable and so was his colleague Mr. Anderson. The class was from 10-5 but the time went by quick. Definitely would go again! Check them out!

I took their beginning women's course. Blade and Chris were so amazing. They made us feel…read morecomfortable around the guns and walked beside us the whole way. Then in the afternoon they had several coaches bring guns and we were able to try them all while being trained at the same time. Blade stayed after and helped me with my new gun my husband bought me. You could see he really cares. All of them did. I am looking forward to practicing again and Chris and Blade even offered to meet us to help us learn. I highly recommend this class. All women should go through this whether you want a gun or not. There were all ages from mother and daughter to your grandmother. Zero skills to people with skills. My confidence has gone way up since I understand more what it's about, the gun, and safety rules. Again, whether you believe in guns or deathly afraid, after this class it will give you the understanding of safety and handling. They have classes for younger kids too. Sign em up!

I'm fairly new to Diabo Rod & Gun, but this is a very very welcoming group. Recently became a…read moremember. I took their Women's intro class! I can't say enough great things about it. We had aproximately 16 ladies in class, and after the morning instruction, had about 2+ hours of shooting, with various volunteer instructors practicing with various guns (aprox 20). This is really great with those of us in the market to purchase a pistol or rifle, and learn what is a good fit or not. The class was very informative, low cost considering the amount of information and safety training you get, feed us breakfast and lunch, and we didn't have to bring our own fire arms, unless we wanted to. As a bonus, we had a Ladies Shoot night for those of us who are already gun owners, and for 2+ hours after USI Range hours, we had full access to practice shooting our own fire arms, with guidance from the well trained volunteer instructors , which was extremely helpful for us newbies!!! I can't say enough great things about our instructors Chris and Blade, and all the Volunteer Expert Coaches! Seperate from the Women's Classes and Shooting event, the club is run by just a really nice family oriented group of people. They have monthly meetings, potlucks, and lots of activities to keep everyone interested. All very kind, and willing to help out a newbie in learning a new sports and self defense. Anyone thinking of owning a fire arm should come take their classes and seriously consider joining their Diablo Rod & Gun Club! You won't be disappointed!!!

The staff were incredibly welcoming, patient, and helpful, which made a huge difference as a first-timer. Huge shoutout to Mark Francisco for taking the time to teach my son and me the fundamentals. He explained everything clearly and made us feel comfortable and safe the entire time. Thanks to Mark's guidance, we left feeling confident shooting and had so much fun. I recently got into this sport, and this experience definitely made me want to keep going. We will definitely be back!

I could not be happier with the class. Doug and his team did a superb job.

Do you own a firearm and want to know how to use it? I recommend this business…read more They provide an incredible educational firearm training classes. From my experience they are the BEST. Their overall attention to detail with firearm safety fundamentals being the number one priority. A variety of excellent trainings from CCW qualification, dynamic pistol drills, advanced pistol training, low light training, defensive shotgun training and others. See for yourself how Doug, Ryan and the 2nd Amendment Firearms Training crew are incredibly knowledgeable

I purchased a Staccato online and they listed this place as a vendor that they ship to. Having…read morelived in Walnut Creek for a few years, I was actually surprised to see that this place exists. It's real and they've been in business for 10 years or so. Ronnie was super friendly when I reached out to him. Apparently, he communicates via text only which is totally fine. He was able to communicate everything needed to properly purchase. I also appreciated that he texted a picture of the back of the building because the location is tucked inside of a block and hard to navigate if you've never been there before. Michelle helped me out with paperwork and she was super friendly. They both treated me very well and were very helpful when it came to helping me with my transaction. While their transfer fee is the most I've ever paid, it's important for me to support local shops like this, and because they're appointment only, it feels good to be the only person in the store. Overall, I plan to have all of my future online purchases go through this shop. This is an A+ establishment. Some tips for people considering coming here: - Ronnie is text only, but is pretty quick to respond. - The building that they're in isn't exactly visible from the street. - Ronnie doesn't sell to people who hunt animals and is pretty transparent about that. - They're cash only.

Primo Tactical (recently renamed) made my first firearm purchase a positive experience. Ronnie and…read moreMichelle are genuinely great people and made the entire process simple, comfortable, and educational from start to finish. As a first-time buyer, I had a lot of questions, and Ronnie took the time to walk me through safety, components, what to look for, current regulations, and responsible ownership. Being former law enforcement, he really emphasizes education and making sure people understand both the responsibility and the laws that come with firearm ownership. They've moved away from the traditional storefront model and are more selective with who they work with, which made the experience feel much more personal and trustworthy. They're also great for transfers and ammo. They didn't just sell me a firearm and send me on my way...they connected me with trusted people for training, cleaning, and maintenance as well.

First time at this range and had a great time …read more Got there about 10 minutes before opening and saw a line of cars, so I thought I'd be waiting for a lane. But once they opened, it moved quick. Just make sure you wait by the office door until they call you in. Staff was friendly and helpful. Told them it was my first time and they walked me through everything. Got to my lane and had a blast. Brought some new firearms and the Echelon 4.0C comp is SMOOTH. Super easy shooting. Range is clean, well ventilated, and easy to set up and clean up. They also have an outdoor range which is a nice bonus. It does have that old school feel, but I actually like that. Paid $30 and it was well worth it. I'll be back.

I appreciated his words of confidence and experience. He is definitely someone you should go to if tou neee any guidance operating a gun.

As a result of his exceptional service you can expect him to be busy, so plan accordingly, but he's well worth waiting for.

It was my first time buying a gun and I told him that and the way he was talking to me it made it seem like he was trying to make me feel stupid. He needs to learn how to talk to people. But I bought the gun anyway because they were the only ones in my area who had it. Now the pick up process was great. I was helped by I believe his name was PK. Asian dude with glasses and a black hat. He was extremely nice and showed me all the safety tips and how to properly handle the gun. Im most likely never gonna shop here again because of that rude guy who first helped me. Now that I have the gun I want I will take my business for ammo and parts somewhere else. I really hope the managers read this review and tell that guy he needs to work on his people skills. The guy is a complete jerk.
