This review is for Gunsmithing. I dropped off a Remington 870 2/12/26 for stripping, rebluing, and Cerakote. It is now 8/11/26. After multiple in-person visits to the store, multiple calls, dealing with multiple salespeople, even being told at one point they weren't aware my gun was in their possession at all, then they "found it", then "it will be done next week", it's now the week after "next week" and the agreed upon work is still not complete. 6 months after dropping it off, I had to throw in the towel. I went in person, again, today, and told them just give me the gun back. Months of haggling and dealing with evasion, stalling, and being given the run around is enough to make any potential customer stop listening to words and start observing patterns and behaviors. This is a good ol' boy establishment where if you don't know the staff on a first name basis, you're ignored while they chit-chat with their friends. If your last name isn't McNear, Zibura, McDonnell (or whatever it has to be), you're dead last on the shop's priorities. Rarely do I take the time to write lengthy negative reviews. I will never return to this establishment for any reason. The fact that the business owner has never once taken the time to respond to a single negative Yelp review in an attempt to mend relationships with clients speaks volumes and is a crystal clear and accurate reflection of the current customer experience at this business. read more

See all

This is a firearm shop that gives it to you straight without a hidden agenda. I was pleased to visit the store and expect to again.

Darryl and Terry are the nicest people around. They are so helpful and bend over backwards for their customers. You can't go wrong with shopping at PGRS. read more

Just purchased MNP nine shield magazines from Darrell Henry at the Petaluma Gun And Reloading Supply... they were very helpful and answered questions that I had about my Smith & Wesson second time there very helpful if you want good service along with their expertise, please stop by.. the last place I went to in Petaluma. Were just interested in selling items to you and not being pleasant or answering questions read more

I HATE writing bad reviews. First of all, I am a first time gun buyer, so I have NO idea what to do other than what I read on search engines as far as paperwork needed. So, I'm already intimidated and feel out of my element. Maybe I had that deer in the headlights look, but that should've been a cue to be extra courteous. I KNOW I can't be the only first time buyer. (This is 2020, by the way just before the election by the way, as a frame of reference) I walked in and got weird looks and the tension could be felt. I play in a rock band so I have long hair. I was treated like a war protestor. I'm FAR from it. I was immediately told they were sold out of everything, but the sore sure looked like they had stuff. He said it was all sold and for display purposes only. Maybe it's true. I don't know. I don't know how gun stores work, but if it's sold, I wouldn't think other people can handle them.I asked what do I need to buy a handgun from them and he told me I need a birth certificate so I could go to the DMV and get a REAL ID. Jump through hoops was the impression I got. I'd give them 1 star but he did write on a business card that I need to study the DOJ safety guide. That part is true. So, I kind of gave up on the idea of purchase. It just seemed to difficult. Months later, I went to a competitor to look around. I told them I was going to get my birth certificate that night so I could get my REAL ID because that's what Petaluma Gun & Reloading told me. Within 3o-45 minutes or so, I had done all the paperwork, took the 30 question test and passed, and purchased a gun with a simple valid CA DL and my car registration. I'm going there from now on. read more

Bob and Terry are very curteous. They helped my girlfriend and I choose our antique gallery guns. They spent the time to show us the various rifles in the collection over and over on two separate days. We were able to determine which ones would fit our collection and be best for us to shoot. We will be back for sure!!! read more

I"ve been a customer for over 25 years. Daryl is most helpful and knowledgeable. Great local business.

Great place!,,,Very helpful in selecting a variety of guns for an older novice !,!Super nice, up to date,yet old school too!

Great humble down to earth people. Super helpful with helping you find the right ammo or whatever your needs. I love this place!

Went in today because I have been researching a lot about getting a .22lr. After going to the three top rated gun shops on yelp in Petaluma and Cotati I came here looking for a Ruger 10/22. They were extremely nice and even though other customers were at the counter they made a point to ask us what we were looking for and they had a bunch of different configs of the 10/22 as well as some used rifles. Definitely would go back here for future purchases. Good prices and friendly, helpful staff. Now it is just a matter of 8 more days and actually finding .22 ammo so I can go to the range... I was at first turned off by the low rating on yelp, but I found the other stores that were rated higher to be not as helpful or friendly and two of the other stores in Petaluma had no Rugers at all and were more expensive in general. read more

I went here during a day full of visiting many different gun stores. Thank god we found this place, especially after coming from the rude and awkward, not to mention tiny, Marin Firearms. I talked to the very knowledgeable staff for a while and they gave me advice and answered all of my questions. They are very friendly and personable. It is owned by an older couple. Though their mossbergs were a bit pricey, I didn't check their other items. They have a large selection and a catalog they can order from. I highly recommend the 20 minutes drive to have a good experience. read more

I've been going to this family owned shop for 20 years. Always treated professionally by the owners. Fair prices on the guns for sale and got my questions answered. Recommended especially for first time buyers. read more

I enjoyed dealing with Bob. He sold me my first Glock and I absolutely love it. The prices here are not that bad they are quite fair. Just think of it that you are supporting your local business which in turn will help out your community. They also have a good selection of guns for sale. read more

Very cool shop. Inventory of used firearms is always changing...and some really cool old guns for sale! Good resource for reloading supplies and questions. Update: the inventory changes all the time, so I need to stop by here more often to see what cool old guns they got in....muzzle loaders to! read more

This is my favorite local gun store. I've bought reloading supplies and firearms here. The owners are always helpful and friendly. I'll by my next firearm from them. read more

They overcharge for everything. $100 for a plastic Plano 10586 double gun case??? WTF. I don't recommend anyone buy anything from this place. Very rude if your not wearing skin tight wranglers and a 10 gallon hat. Garbage attitudes, very much like the jerks at Marin Firearms. read more

I go in there occasionally to sniff out any bargains. I've bought several handguns there and actually consigned my M1 Garand too. Service has always been good to me. Prices are within normal limits. Sometime there are some pretty good deals and hard to find pistols. I'd shop there again if they have what I want. read more

Got a couple of glocks, a shotgun and some reloading stuff from these guys, they are cool. Prices could be a bit better, costumer service is average, will be back again. God Bless America! read more

The owner and his wife are good people and very honest. I enjoy going in to look around and occasionally find an interesting handgun to purchase. read more

I've shopped here for quite a while now, and purchase all my firearms from Darryl and Terry. the staff are extremely friendly and always make me feel welcomed when I visit. if I have questions about anything firearm related, they're usually one of the first places I will go to ask. as a customer starting a related business, Terry and Darryl have been extremely helpful in getting my name out there and letting me leave my business cards on their counter, and always treat me like a friend, and not just another dollar sign. they've been doing business as long as I've been alive, which to me, speaks volumes; I tend to recommend customers go to them if I can't find a particular firearm for them or answer a question, even if it may cost me business, because in the end, I know the Penrys will most likely be able to point them in the right direction. read more

Great service. I was truly surprised. Sure I am a returning customer but I doubted they noticed that and being a city kid doesn't help me in a country gun shop. However the people behind the counter treat me as one of their own. I especially appreciate the honesty they keep with their products. No bull shit. Greatly recommend this place. Just be respectful and know your shit before you go in or talk... No one likes opinionated assholes who don't base they're saying on facts... read more

I went in to take a look around. Nice selection of firearms a gear. Pretty much the only local place for any reloading supplies.

Daryl is a little slow. It's because he takes an active interest in each customer to whom he is talking and keeps the interest on them. He has an understated passion about what he is doing and wants to help. Anything really wrong with that? Prices are not cheap but very reasonable. He was the only place I found locally who had the percussion caps, lead balls and powder I needed to start firing my 1849 originall Colt Pocket revolver. I asked a lot of newbie questions and received courteous and informative answers. I get the distinct impression that one of the other reviewers sees Dicks and Dickettes ---everywhere! I wear no hat at all and can't stand Western clothing--It's too damn constrictive and uncomfortable. I haven't killed any of natures creatures with a gun either. read more

Went here today to find some rare scope mounts and some rings. Not only did Darryl have what I needed but he took the time to install it on my rifle for no charge. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. read more

A lot of people have commented about "attitude" they have experienced in various gun stores. I have seen it too and got none of it here. I am not a "local" and yet I was treated with courtesy and respect. These are things you kind of have to give to get. I got a great price and the owner of the store of his own volition added a couple of nice extras without charge. I look forward to continued patronage. read more

I have had nothing but great service from the owners of this store. Sometimes I just drop in to look around and they will have gotten a rare product in !! I'm always greeted warmly and shown great respect. It is rare to find such a store in California and I support them whole heartedly!! read more

Went in today to get some hard-to-find ammo for my new 12 gauge shotgun. The guy behind the counter was extremely friendly - even taking the time to ask what I was looking for and to say he'd be right with me as soon as he finished with his current customer. Showed me what I was looking for and even offered some welcome advice. Prices were very competitive. They had more inventory of guns and ammo than any other shop I've seen in this area. I will definitely come back. Very friendly and helpful. read more

I have had good luck dealing with them. I have sold a number of guns through them, bought black powder supplies, and helpful advice about reloading. read more

My girlfriend and I went to Petaluma guns and reloading to get another firearm. They were more then helpful with everyone of our questions and they also helped us pick out the correct firearm and when we had trouble with another firearm they referred us to an incredible gun smith. This place does it all extremely knowledgeable helpful staff great selection of firearms,ammo,cases,cleaning kits etc; and I never felt stupid asking a question which is common in other gun shops. They even do reloading when other gun shops do not. If you have or have not been give them a chance they have been around for 31 years so they are doing something right. This is our go to place from now on so much so I wrote a review so other people could have a reliable gun shop to go to which are getting harder and harder to find. Thank you Darrel and Terry for everything and all of your help. read more

This store is great. I've bought everything here at one point or another, have even done two private transfers here ( one this week). Prices are higher than on line used to be but not higher than the added shipping and they haven't raised just because of "the current political environment". Great shop I'll be back. read more

I went to them to mount a scope on my rifle because I did not have a scope mounting kit which includes a F.A.T. wrench and several other items included to do professional job. He used the same tools I had at home. I asked him why he doesn't use a torque wrench to measure accurately how tight the rings are. He said in a very condescending tone that he had been doing this for 40 years and this is just fine. From my experience I understand that the spacing between the top and bottom of the rings should be the same on both sides so the pressure is even and does not harm the scope. He torqued on the rings so hard he put a bad chip (not scratch) on my brand new Nikon camo finished $200 scope. He also did not put the scope set back as I asked him to. He was so cocky to anything I was saying as if my requests were ridiculous that he wasn't even listenning to me. He kept glancing at the other gentleman that worked there (he did not think I noticed) with an annoyed look on his face. If this was not enough I got home and the cross hairs were so crooked it looked like a blind person mounted the scope. If you looked at the top of the rifle you can see the scope was crooked. I understand everyone has a different site picture but this was not even close to straight. I will go back and try to get a refund and hopefully the will honor it, although I am now stuck with a big scratch on my new expensive scope and still not mounted professionally. I will probably spend the $100 on a mounting kit and do it myself. read more

I have visited this store for years. When it first opened was its heyday, the owner was happy and looking to do business. Later grumpy and rude, now after a near death experiance nicer but quiet and still not friendly. Prices are the highest in the area, defenately bring your check book and credit card (s). I recently (forgetting where I was) purchased a scope that I found later online at several places for substatially less (one was 110.00 less). Mind your money and stay away if your thin skinned other wise nicely laid out shop. read more

I was in the market for something durable, easy to carry and basically foolproof. I wanted a handgun for fishing trips in the mountains and possibly to carry while horseback riding. I was looking for something that would have plenty of stopping power for any thing that walks or crawls here in California. Blued steel and inclement weather don't work well together, and I wanted something with more firepower and less weight than a 6" L frame S&W stainless revolver. I also wanted something a little less pricy than a 4 or 6" .44 mag. I was kinda figuring I'd have to compromise between weight, stopping power, price etc. They just happened to have a Glock 20, 10mm in stock. 10 rounds of a rather powerful autoloading cartridge in a gun significantly smaller and lighter than either the medium or large frame revolver. I've been coming into this shop for nearly 30 years now, I used to buy his reloaded ammo back in the day, this was my first gun purchase here, but I was pleased with customer service and price. When I've been in the store, clerks have been fine as far as I'm concerned. Like many gun shop owners, Darryl is rather dry and not trying to practice his skills as a comedian, but I didn't go here for comedy, I was looking for a gun. I frequently wear a cowboy hat, but when I haven't I get the same level of service, courtesy, and professionalism. Kudos to a guy whose managed to stay in this business in an admittedly anti gun Bay Area for as long as he has read more
