Manzano Munitions is more than a gun store. I genuinely see them as community builders first, with…read morea great gun store as a bonus. Kyle and the guys there aren't your typical pushy, salesy people. They're genuine gun guys who actually shoot and live the lifestyle. They'll give you options, share their honest opinions and experience, and then let YOU decide what's best for you. No pressure, no BS. I've personally bought 3 high-end 2011s from them and thousands of rounds of ammo, and every transaction has been smooth from start to finish. The shop itself is also one of the most welcoming and cozy gun shops I've been to. But what really sets Manzano apart is what they've done for the shooting community. They host and organize members matches where you can get stage experience, sharpen your skills, and eventually take what you've learned into a real USPSA match--which they also run out of Coyote Valley Sporting Clays. That's what I mean when I say community builders. They're not just selling guns--they're helping build a stronger shooting community. NorCal and especially the South Bay shooting community is a better place because of what these guys have built. I'm genuinely grateful to be part of it. May God continue to bless Manzano Munitions, the people behind it, and the community they've built. Shoutout to all the guys over there--Johnny, Mike, the two Alex's, Chris, and Jake. A+ customer service, every time. You guys are the real deal.

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

When I moved to San Jose, I needed to find a great FFL. I don't really prefer working with gun…read moreshops because they tend to be too busy with other things to take care of my transfer needs. For reference , I am a gunsmith and a former owner of Graphite Dynamics, which was a firearms development company. I ran into Friendly FFL. They are a really small place that only does DROS services and they don't sell actual firearms. Loc is a great guy who runs the place. He is an instructor as well as an RO., and he really knows his stuff. Most of all, he literally is friendly. I can tell you from my experience that a lot of FFL folks tend to be gun snobs who act like they know everything and actually look down on customers like we are peasants who know nothing about guns. It's unfortunate that this hobby has a lot of know it all jerks.. They are really friendly and best of all because they are a very knowledgeable. They are more than happy to answer your questions no matter how dumb you may think your question is.. they really do make the firearms hobby more enjoyable . it is especially important when you live in California where there are so many gun laws that changed almost monthly that it's good to have a knowledgeable person to help you deal with it all.. I haven't done any firearms transfers yet, but I've done several ammunition transfers and it was a breeze. Overall, their prices are very low and they are very good at letting you know when your stuff has come in.. As a gunsmith and former firearms company owner, I would highly recommend Friendly FFL.

The interior and overall atmosphere are really well done and there's a lot to look at. I came in to pick up a handgun, and the process was pretty thorough. You can set up an appointment online or use the kiosk when you get there. If you're picking up or purchasing a firearm, I'd definitely set aside about an hour to an hour and a half because it can take some time. The gun counter line closes at 8 PM on weekdays, so keep that in mind. The employees I dealt with were friendly, professional, and helpful throughout the process. Overall, a really good experience.

With rows and rows of tackle, I am able to find most lake specific lures, weights, bait, hooks, etc. Sometimes I have to go to the store at the lake itself and get even more specific items, but BPS usually has what I need. Whenever I enter the store, the personnel always ask if I need help or direct me to the area where more specific help can be found. Moreover, the store is dog friendly and has dog treats at the ready. Occasionally, BPS will host a Monday club night whereby if you are a BPS club member, you can stand in line to get a light meal and enter a raffle to win items, but I recommend you go early and stand in line or else there will be no more food left.

The Gun Exchange is staffed by people who know what they are doing and are willing to share their depth of experience to those who want to build a relationship......just like anywhere else. It is different than your going into BPS nearby and saying that you want a box of ammo for xx. They will ask what you're hunting, what distance you're expecting to shoot, where are you hunting and pick something that will suit you well......IF you've chatted with them as adults and they have a reason to believe that you might be a good guy/gal. I suppose that I shouldn't be surprised that people in the Bay Area might not know the difference between someone going out and shooting and those who join the community of hunters and shooters. Spend some time with the people who know stuff if you'd like to increase the depth of your enjoyment of the sport. Old hunters have seen amazing stuff. Ditto Jim Cox in Salinas.....if he thinks that you're a fool or that as the customer you think that things should be "your way", he will treat you as a buyer and not as someone in the circle. Both the guys in this shop smile. Saw it myself. Appreciate their time as you'd want your time appreciated. It will lead to a great experience. It's not a store. It's not Burger King either.

I'm not new to firearms but new to ownership. Perry is knowledgeable, personable enough, and straight forward. If you're expecting to be treated like you're buying a wedding dress then perhaps gun shops generally aren't for you. Know basic firearms laws around purchasing, pick up, and transport, know what you want to buy, and then go buy it. There's a large selection of firearms and ammo on hand. If the shop doesn't have what you're looking for he'll order it for you at minimal charge. I received calls when my orders were in, paperwork was quick and straight forward, and pick up was easy.

You might be able to guess where I stand. Anyway, I came in looking for some ammo. Common ammo. Ammo Big 5 would have, but I like to support local business. So I came here. I come in and there are no customers. This isn't a bad sign to me, it was outside peak hours and the shop is kind of tucked away. Joe is there, and joe is talking to someone. Joe is telling a story to this someone. I see them, they see me, they nod at me. I nod back. I begin to open my mouth, and Joe continues his story, pointedly ignoring me. Hey, that's fine, I'll look around. It's a new store, maybe they have some cool stuff? No, they don't. Castello Gun Shop is a fudd shop. They only stock nonsense calibers from 100 years ago that an ever-dwindling number of people even know about, much less want. See all the people raving about black powder and the midrange knife selection they have. So you're set if you either A, want an average quality knife that I wouldn't expect to last 5 years, or B, have a gun so old fashioned the government doesn't even classify it as a gun. Like I said, an ever-dwindling audience. Also, you'll apparently have to stand around listening to Joe and his friend/coworker/victim talk about nonsense and laugh at parts that weren't identifiable as jokes for 15 minutes. Yes, Joe kept me waiting 15 minutes because he was busy telling some dumb story to someone who dropped a lot of hints that he was ready to leave. I was kind of scared that this was actually the previous customer, and Joe had cast some sort of spell that froze him there, stuck listening to unfunny random nonsense until someone came to break the curse. I hoped it wouldn't transfer to me. When Joe finally deigned to speak with me, it was to confirm that they didn't have any of the calibers of ammo I wanted. That would .223, 5.56mm, .308 Winchester, 7.62x51, 9mm, .38 special, .357 magnum, and .44 magnum. Look, I get not stocking all, but stocking none? What exactly do you sell here? It took all of 30 seconds to confirm Joe didn't have anything I wanted. So yeah, 15 minutes wasted because he's too rude to help a customer at his store. I don't see much reason to come back given every single other store has nicer employees that actually, you know, want customers.
