You will never find a better experience being a first time buyer than you find a Roger's defense. The big name local shops have their culture of judgment and condescension. You will not experience that at Roger's. They treat you with the utmost respect and are a wealth of knowledge. Always open to questions and take calls if you need any advice or guidance. They take clients on personal one on one appointments, it makes for a welcoming environment. Prices are competitive Parking is easy Communication is professional read more

Todd is the man to go too. He helped me arrange an appointment for my FSC back in 21 when he was still in the area. He had quite a selection of FA for a reasonable price. Bought 3 of my FA with him and will go back without a doubt. He's a professional and personal salesman who will walk you thru the whole process and make you feel welcomed into this community. read more

Top-notch. The couple who own and operate this store are the best. New owners, seasoned owners and everyone in between will benefit from the couple's life-long experience in law enforcement and their practical, clear and focused sales advice or training. I took their new owner training course and left with the confidence and knowledge I needed to further develop as a safe and knowledgeable owner. If you are looking, this is the option. read more

I called Rogers Defense to obtain my FSC certificate and was able to set up an appointment the same day. It's conveniently located on Cherry Ave, next to Fantastic Burgers, and has its own parking lot. Mr. Rogers is a fantastic guy with a super nice and welcoming attitude. Before I took my test, he mentioned they offer classes for first-time gun users and also informed me their stock is up to date online. I'm so glad I went and got my certificate here. I can't wait to be back again. read more

The service that I experienced from both Todd and Sally was outstanding. They were prompt with my appointment time and their follow up on the service that I need was 2nd to none. I would definitely purchase from them in the future as it was great to experience reliability and excellent service, at a time when providing great service has become a lost art. read more

Definitely have to leave a review for Roger's Defense! My family and I came here to do the Basic firearm safety and handling training and we couldn't be happier we chose this place over the rest. We brought our 2 teenage boys and we did not know what to expect but Todd and his wife Sally were very Knowledgeable, patient and friendly. They made the training fun while at the same time teaching us the laws and regulations when owning a gun and answered all of our questions. They use a really cool simulator that puts you in real life scenarios and you have to decide what action to take. We left feeling confident and better prepared to be gun owners. We left excited and ready for the shooting range! I am recommending Roger's Defense to all my family and friends! Check out their website. Thank you Todd and Sally, this was truly an awesome experience! read more

I took the basic firearms safety course at Rogers Defense and I was not disappointed. This is a family owned business, therefore you get that personal vibe when inside of the facility. Being new to the world of firearms, I took their course because I was seeking education and looking for answers to some specific questions. The course was extremely informational. Rogers Defense did a great job at reviewing the laws and overall guiding the course for a couple of beginners in the class. I highly recommend taking the course with other people because you can gain more knowledge from their questions and how they respond in the MILO virtual training simulator. The training simulator was a great addition to the course and the best part! I honestly learned a lot about myself in the simulator and it opened my eyes to how much more I want/need to learn about safe firearms handling in various situations. The course really helped with passing the certification test (I also did practice tests at home), which I took immediately after the class. They provided some recommendations over which firearms I could research, and I even took my training to the shooting range and tested those same recommendations out. Thanks Rogers Defense! read more

Great experience here doing some training and making a purchase. Todd is a wealth of knowledge and we're lucky to have him in the community educating and arming law-abiding citizens. read more

Always great to work with. Set up an appt and makes the process personal without tons of people in the store.

Called in today to ask questions about ammo and possibly shipping ammo to them. The gentleman on the phone was very welcoming and took the time to provide me all the information I needed. As a veteran I'm very picky on where I do my gun business and will definitely be using them in the future. read more

Bought my first firearms from Todd in 2022. Great Experience. Very smooth process especially for a first time buyer. I'll honestly say that I was a little green on the whole process and on firearms , and Todd was never rude or made me feel uncomfortable with the process. The best part is you schedule your appointment, and you have a one on one purchasing experience with Todd and he answered any questions I had. Nothing is rushed and he's very informative. Follows all protocols. I Strongly Recommend this place for your first firearms purchases or any other Home Defense needs. This business has a lot to offer from entry level to very experienced. I felt the prices were reasonable as well. Check them out. Really cool place. I will definitely do more business in the future with Rogers Defense. read more

If you are a first time gun buyer, ROGERS DEFENSE SHOULD BE YOUR FIRST CALL! I had no idea what I was doing, what I needed, how to apply for a gun, ZERO CLUE and Todd and Sally were instrumental in helping me find the gun that suited me. I asked a ton of questions, and they had a ton of answers and shared their vast knowledge with me. They were very patient and Todd even assisted me over the phone after I purchased my gun. If you look up customer service in the dictionary, there may be a picture of Todd and Sally there! The guide they have on their website for the FSC test is also very helpful! The number linked to their business is a cell phone, so if they don't answer, leave a voicemail or text and they will get back to you the same day! I called while they were on vacation, left a voicemail and they scheduled me for the day after they got back. Great experience and I will be coming back!! read more

Excellent training and customer service from A trained professional. The gun simulation software was a blast literally! Would highly recommend. read more

Sally and Todd are extremely kind, personable, professional, and most importantly knowledgeable about firearm training. The simulator is the perfect way to start if you're a beginner and/or if you're looking for an immersive experience that simulates real life self defense encounters. They have a sense of humor and demeanor that made me feel super comfortable. I was really nervous and felt well informed and ready to move forward in my training by the end of the 90 minute session. Will definitely be returning for my exam and firearm purchase soon. Thanks so much to the Roger's and their continued service to our country and the community. :) read more

Overall great experience with Tod. I am a first time firearm owner and he made the whole process smooth and welcoming. Also shared a couple of good conversations over all as a business owner Tod is awesome read more

Excellent service. Todd is highly knowledgeable of Firearms and was a pleasure to work with. I will return... Rhino B. read more

Decided to buy my first handgun. Checked out a lot of different places but went to Rogers Defense today. Todd and Sally were truly hospitable and patient with me as they discussed my options walked me through the process. Highly recommend them and I definitely plan on going back. read more

Amazing service & team! Todd & Sally provided me with a seamless experience with my out of state FFL transfer. I look forward to supporting this local business & will definitely refer others. Thank you. read more

Rogers Defense - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Long Beach, California

Discouraged me from coming in to store. Seemed really busy with that one customer. I guess they are selective in the type of business they do. Which is there option. read more

Todd and Sally, are just phenomenal people first a foremost! Being someone who isn't new to guns but new to being a gun owner - I didn't know that much beyond how big I wanted my handgun to be and a price range I wanted to stay within. Todd, is beyond knowledgeable but he's patient and takes his time to be sure you know what you need to know in order to buy what suits you. He could have easily sold me more gun then I needed (and made a higher profit) but he listened to me and sold me what I needed and not what he wanted to sell me. Sally, is the icing on the cake! She's just as knowledgeable about their products and gives great advice with Todd and they both really make you feel like you're at their dining room table and not in a store. I have my eyes on a few more pieces and I will be giving my patronage to Rogers Defense! read more

Incredible training. Awesome people. They answered all my questions, worked with me, gave me excellent advice and guidance. As a first timer, I left the training feeling extremely confident and ready. Thank you, Rogers Defense. read more

Great family owned business. Bought my first handgun here and had a very smooth experience, make sure to give a call ahead of time. I called the day of, and Todd was happy to schedule a time for me to come in that day. It was a very quick/efficient process. I Will definitely come back. read more

Called in and spoke to Tammy about purchasing a Glock 23, she said it was in stock and I could come in next day and had the gun waiting for me.. next day I call before going in and some guy tells me this place only serves law enforcement... which was bs. Apparently they cater to their friends and family and make other ppl wait around to get what they've already called about. Million gun stores in the area... someone will take this $600 for the glock read more

Rodgers defense was the closest gun shop to my house so I thought I'd give them a try. Despite most shops not having much inventory during the pandemic, they had quite a few guns to choose from and Todd and Sally were so nice and helpful throughout the process making me feel really at ease despite the fact this was my first firearms purchase. Having gone through this experience I can say this won't be the last gun I purchase at Rogers defense and if you're someone new to guns I would highly recommend them. read more

These folks were unbelievably helpful, well-informed and had just the best customer service. I would highly recommend them for any self-defense needs. read more

I bought a gun through GunBroker and needed a local dealer to receive it. Roger's Defense was kind enough to assist. They have excellent and timely communication, efficient and knowledgeable service, and they were gracious and respectful. I will absolutely return to shop with them in the future. May their good business practices be rewarded with great success! read more

I recently purchased my first firearm through Todd. He is a true professional! I will definitely return.

Hands down, best service ever. As a first time buyer, I did not feel embarrassed to ask any questions at all. No question was too dumb to ask. I remember reading Todd's bio on yelp, and I can confirm that he does provide a FRIENDLY and stress free environment where you will not be harassed for any question that you ask. This is significant due to the fact that you are not buying a toy and Todd enables you to feel comfortable with handling your firearm. The service offered was Indeed a 10/10. Todd was patient, informative, and most importantly, he was genuinely interested in what he does I was told by a friend of mine not to shop for guns, but to hunt for the best service. Rogers Defense was the service that I was looking for. Don't just show up though, you have to make an appointment. Each appointment takes approximately one hour (based on my experience). This includes, registration, exam, and training. I called Sunday, made appointment for Monday. However, I had to cancel Monday, and had to wait till Wednesday. So make an appointment! And remember: handle your firearm as if it is always loaded. read more

They don't do private party transfers as their advertising claims. Don't know too much about the rest of the business, but since their name pops up as one of the top ten places for a private party transfer, I figured I would save people a little time and effort and post up that they DO NOT transfer between parties, they only sell new guns. read more

Excellent service. They take the time to answer all your questions. Never feel rushed and they respond to emails very quickly very friendly. read more

Great experience, thank you Sally for making me an appointment for today. With a great representation and knowledge of Tod you duh man. Thanks for making my day..... read more

Strongly recommend "Rogers Defense Products" with 5 Double Stars!!!  Got my Birthday gift at "Rogers Defense Producs"  What a better place to go, then a "Federal License Law Enforcement Owned Center" for the best smooth experince, fast, hazzel free transaciton, overseen by the Chief of Operarions, the man himself... Left my new born in an incubator on location for the next 10 days to be pamper and care for by the CEO, Thank you Sir Todd!!! read more

Great experience! Todd is extremely knowledgeable about all types of firearms, current regulations, and all related processes. He is patient, informative, and very professional. He is our "go to" guy for all defense-related products and questions. read more

I randomly selected Rogers Defense as my FFL due to their location when I purchased my first firearm. I'm so glad that I did! This is not a gun store. You will get personal attention from owners Todd and his wife Sally. They were very patient with this first-timer and Todd guided me through all of the required paperwork...told me exactly what documents were the best to bring with me for CA. Sally called when my background check cleared and I was finally able to make an appointment to pick up my gun. I'd been looking into the process of purchasing ammo and it seemed daunting--not to mention HARD TO GET IN CA! Before hanging up with Sally I asked about ammunition, about 10 seconds later she told me I was in luck; there was one box of the caliber I needed and she would hold it for me! Wow! When I arrived, Todd teased that he was about to sell the box of ammo to someone else when Sally stopped him. "No!" She said. That box belongs to Rhonda That did it for me! I will ALWAYS take my business to Todd & Sally at Rogers Defense. And one more thing, you know how some people you do business with say, "oh, please go on Yelp and give me a good review, blah, blah, blah?" Yelp wasn't mentioned...ever...my review is completely unsolicited and Todd and Sally have no idea I even originally found them here. Seriously, though, these folks are honest, helpful, patient and kind. Thanks again, Sally and Todd, for a painless experience! read more

Found out about Rogers defense products on yelp and after some bad experiences with a few other shops I decided to give this place a shot. Upon making contact with Todd I noticed that he seemed to be very serious about helping me and had great customer service skills. We set up an appointment for me to come by and start the process of getting a Glock 21 gen 4. But because of California's strict gun laws it's not available in this state. But I had a good experience dealing with Todd and will definitely be visiting the shop again when this gun becomes available or if I find anything else that I may be interested in. After months of research I decided to go with the Springfield xd 45. I got In contact with Mr Rogers and let him know what I wanted and the lowest price that I had seen on the web and he beat that price for me. Went in did paperwork and paid. Went back 2 days later when he got the firearm to make sure it was the right one, did some more paperwork and left on my 10 day DOJ background check and waiting period. After the 10 days was up I went back and picked up my peace of mind/ home protection and I am very satisfied with the whole transaction. When you need some protection and don't wanna get robbed, do yourself a favor and go see Todd..... Go see Todd, go see Todd, go see Todd! read more

This place is more than guns & accessories, they offer way more than that! Friendly faces and VERY knowledgeable on just about every question I could think of.. I appreciate how they took the extra time to show me many different options! I was super excited to purchase my 1st piece here. read more

A couple weeks ago, I was searching for a gun dealer to ship a very old pistol to a family member in TX. After reading the positive reviews about Todd and Sally, I made a call and made an appointment. I was very happy with the service. Todd took the information and within 2 days, he shipped the gun. Everything went smoothly. It was a pleasure doing business with them, and I was impressed with the service and the cost. Thank you Todd and Sally. Really appreciate the help. Chuck R read more
