Came here on a mission. I needed mace/pepper spray. I work in the Kapiolani area and often times I walk to the restaurants or shops. There's quite a lot of action in the area and I want to feel like I have some sort of protection. There's a wide array of pepper sprays and a variety of colors. I found the cutest Barbie pink one. Our sales associate was very helpful. They will go over how to use it and you will need to sign a form after that. Parking located behind the building. read more

Stopped in on a whim because I was going to another gun store. Found out that the prices are better here and the service by Jason was top tier! Explained everything well and provided excellent service. read more

I got a gift card a while ago as a gift and always wanted to buy a gun as I enjoy shooting and 2A. My gift card expired during a busy time in my life and then I went to Japan for a month, and the fella who answered said to talk to the manager about it because of my circumstances. I went to the store in person a couple times early and at lunch, but they have a 'max persons allowed' kind of thing going on and I couldn't wait long during my work breaks, so I was unable to go down and do anything, but I appreciate the sentiment offered to me. I wanted to leave a review towards the kindness showed to me over the phone. Hopefully I will be able to go inside one of these days. =) read more

Excellent , they know what you're talking about and have good knowledge of all equipment there

The best pricing anywhere you'll find on the island. Their stag are friendly and knowledgeable. Law enforcement officers always get a discount on the firearms. Shortage and wait list on ammo right now. read more

I've been coming here for a long time for things I needed as a security officer to a Federal LEO buying little things from batteries, flashlights, whistles to knives and firearms. They pretty much have everything that I've needed. They have a pretty huge selection of firearms that you can handle. They sell accessories or attachments for your duty belts, uniform, safes, and a whole lot more. It's a small little place so it can get crowded making it a but hard to get any help. They give Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) discount so don't forget to bring your credentials. I personally feel that their prices are pretty reasonable to cheap. The staff are very friendly and helpful. There's a small loading zone right in front of the building that you can park at if you're going in and out fast, but if not then there's a small tight parking lot at the back of the building. read more

These guys are super cool. Very helpful too. Even when I returned an item I bought by mistake. No hassles whatsoever. The store is clean and organized. Easy to find things. I enjoy going there. read more

Picked up my kokohead range target and frames didn't have time to really look around but I'll definitely next time for the short time I was there I saw some good deals I'll be back for. read more

Bought my sig sauer p 320 for a great price and the service was great. Go down and see Jason he'll treat you like a VIP.

This is a very well run and stocked shop. Its like the candy store for cops :) The staff were extremely patient and kind to me, a wet behind the ears newbie, and pointed out all the things I could do other than purchasing a firearm. They went over everything and pointed out the pros and cons as well as the legalities in writing. I wasn't in the market for a gun but I needed to replenish my pepper spray as I have a nefarious neighbor who needed a treatment while he tried to bash in my gates. That was a first time for me to use the spray but I am certain it is now an immediate necessity, at least on Oahu. Parking is a little tight but available in back. And they gave me a discount as I am a first responder (RN). read more

My husband likes to come here to get his ammo and browser for his new toys. The staff here is friendly and helpful. They have a good selection of firearms and Noveske which is very nice. This is a fairly small shop so I would recommend having done your research and etc before you come here because if they are busy you might not get the thorough answers you need. All in all this is a great place to get cheaper ammo. read more

The people who work here are very friendly, intelligent and helpful. They know about everything they sell from firearms to pepper spray to knives and other accessories. They are very friendly to families, as I brought my wife and daughter here recently. Who would know that you would find such great customer service at a security equipment shop, but whether as a customer you really know your stuff, or if you have quite a few questions (like me), they are very accommodating, and they keep everything nice and organized, too. The narrow driveway to the parking lot behind the building is on the right before the building as you drive west (Ewa direction) on Young Street, so drive slowly or you'll miss it! read more

I've been here twice over the span of a year to buy pepper spray for my family. Each time the customer service was great; not your typical intimidating gun shop vibe. Of note pepper spray like firearms are selling fast. Only the black 1.59 oz gel canister was left for $17. read more

This is a shop I trust and rely on in Hawaii. Very helpful in professional insight and they deliver. Great job, SEC Team!

(First time gun owner) took my handgun class and waiting for the two weeks backround check. First store I walked in, I bought a Glock 35 which wasn't this place, I wish I gave them my business here instead of _______. I walked in this place to shop around for an AR to see what other stores had to offer. As I walked in, I was greeted by "Rus" and felt welcome, along with another employee while busy helping someone else, but had the time to acknowledge my presents. I didn't feel judged asking questions compared to _______. They answered my questions along with a little humor and didn't try to up-sale me on products (made me feel more relax due to being a newbie) compared to _______, only after I bought my pistol then I felt the customer service. I also visited Honolulu firearms and range, friendly staff as well. Week later I picked up my permit, walked in security equipment "Rus" was working and I guess he remembered me? Haha cause once I walked in he took out the forms before I got to the desk (I thought that was funny). Spent a good amount of money, but from start to finish, If my uncle had a gun shop this is how the service would feel! Their first impression was the deal maker, repeat customer here! Thanks Rus and all the staff! read more

Excellent staff. Easy location. Effortlessly organized. I visited with Chris Z. to pick up some ammo before going shooting the next day. He was easily able to pick up what he needed while I conversed with the staff. They seemed out of stock of some particular things but was still able to provide what we needed. In addition to ammo they have firearms, knives, safes, apparel, other random accessories. Parking might be difficult but there were open street parking and a private lot in the back. Jason who helped us was super helpful and turns out to be friends with some elites. Shoutout to them!! read more

With the current situation this is one of a maybe three shops that are not totally ripping off. You have a lifetime customer with me. I appreciate you making a list for ammunition, limits and keeping your prices as low as you do. 556 for $350 for 500 rounds sure beats $38 for 20 any day. read more

5 stars on both firearm and knife inventory. And, 5 stars on customer service. What separates this establishment from others is their friendly, knowledgeable and honest staff. read more

Great service, everything you'd expect for a good gun shop. One of the only shop who carry BALLISTOL the best gun cleaner and best all purpose oil out there! read more

I brought my friend here to check out some pistols (he's a first time buyer). We walked in and was greeted and asked if we needed help. My friend asked to see several hand guns because he didn't know what he wanted. Casey, the salesperson helped us with some fondling of pistols. He was very patient and very informative, which made my friend comfortable. We were there a good half hour to 45 minutes! No sales pressure or BS here! Choices were narrowed down to M&P 9mm or Glock 19. Also if you need cleaning supplies, targets, range bags, holsters, ammo they have it all. One of the smaller shops but they are well stocked! Definitely recommend this place to anyone getting into shooting sports because they do take the time with new customers! read more

One stop shop for all your LEO equipment needs! The workers there are super helpful and knowledgeable. They are a bit pricey and some stuff you can find online for cheaper. I bought a lot of my equipment here because.......... Well, this is where they got all the HPD stuff. Like the cool badge holding wallets, badge clips, templates, mini HRS, etc. If I needed something ASAP, I would come here. If not, I just go online. If you have to pay for shipping for something online, you might as well buy it here. Oh, and they give a law enforcement discount ;) Parking...... I normally park in the Krazy Karaoke parking lot because I think the lot right next door tows. Be mindful of where you park. Depending on the time of day, you may find some street parking. read more

Been coming here for ammo and reloading powders and primers for over a year now. Never looked at the firearms for sale because I was always thinking online would be cheaper. I was wrong. I recently decided to purchase a Glock 19 from them because the price was the cheapest I seen since the pandemic. Service is always excellent. And the prices are reasonable compared to other shops. read more

Had what I needed for self protection, friendly staff. Purchased my firearms from them and security equipment for years.

Today was my first time walking into a gun store to purchase a gun for myself. I didnt really know alot but knew I wanted an AR-15 which they are out of stock as are 50-60% of stores island/nationwide or so I've heard when calling around. Richard welcomed me in & delivered the bad news that they were out of SIG AR-15 , COLT AR-15. They had .308 but I wanted .556. He showed me all the different guns, the accessories, the stocks that you can add and explained pros and cons of having a stripped upper & lower etc. Richard made this whole experience so very enjoyable. He put my name down on their waiting list and will contact me once something arrives in stock. Richard was very professional, easy going & very knowledgeable you can tell this guy has seen it all but doesnt broadcast it in any way. I will be coming back here again very soon read more

Purchased my G19G5 and HKVP9 from this LGS. Smooth transaction, didn't get the name of the fellow that assisted me throughout my whole time there (the light skin, bolo head guy). Felt welcomed, asked if I needed help- if I did, just holla. I recommend this place. Chee hoo. read more

Security Equipment Corp, has to be the best gun shop in town. On Oahu I'd say we have 2-3 larger sized gun shops with a good selection and decent prices. SEC has them all beat. SEC located on Young St. near Keeaumoku , always has friendly staff, decent prices, and a wide variety of inventory. Pretty much anything you want they have. I normally come in for the bulk specials on ammo, and other supplies for the range. A friend and I frequently try to stop in during lunch and see what's new in stock. He had been looking for a certain shotgun for a while, and was having a hard time getting a hold of one. The staff at SEC, in particular the younger guy, (I can't remember his name) is always very helpful, he told my friend that he would take his info down and when/if the gun came in he would give him a call. About a week later the gun did become available, they gave my friend a call and i went down with him to pick up the gun. The transaction was smooth, and they had a case to fit it in stock which was nice. Overall SEC always provides a great customer experience. Even though they might not be the cheapest shop in town, they do provide the best customer service experience. That is something I'm willing to pay for. I'm looking to make a handgun purchase this month and SEC will be the first place I stop at. read more

Don't purchase a pistol with more than 10 rounds . They took my 13 round magazine and didn't say .I found out one magazine was missing and called them back and they cannot tell me when I can pick-up after they block it.they just say we'll call you and need a gunsmith to block it . I can do it myself , If I knew was so much of a hassle I would have got a 10 round pistol . Auwe ! read more

Me walking in SEC = man walking into handbag store. I am literally a deer in headlights because of the impressive amount of guns and related goods inside. Walking in and sticking out like a sore thumb is what we do when we are in love, right? Yes, I don't know what I'm doing. But - I do know that my bf loves his guns, and all I know are the type/size/whatever of ammunition he uses thanks to my bff's husband, a sergeant with his massive gun collection (I am so on his team when Walking Dead happens in real life) who goes to the shooting range together with him sometimes. So I am writing this review because, for those several awkward times I've gone to SEC to buy various birthday/Valentine's day/Christmas ammo over the past few years, the staff have always been so kind and helpful in getting me the things I need every time. +1 for always offering and helping me carry that heavy stuff to my car, too! Thank you! :) Also really like that the location is conveniently on Young Street. Parking is down the narrow street beside the store, but I think the last time I went I saw a sign saying there is additional parking. Otherwise there is street parking, and knowing me, I won't spend a lot of time in there I double parked in the front lol! read more

My experience here leaves a lot to be desired. Customer service is non- existent to the point they don't even acknowledge you walked in. Made three purchases here and it's the same every time. No longer going to bother with this place. read more

Great customer service, knowledgeable staff, nice selection, and convenient location. It is always pleasant to visit and make purchases there. My fiance bought me a maxpedition bag for my birthday last year. I love it! read more

This place is great. Super informative and friendly staff, big selection of guns, ammo, cleaning supplies, knives, and EDC (everyday carry) gear. It's great to talk to these guys - they really know their stuff and don't mind sharing the knowledge without making me feel like a child. I was able to ask questions without feeling pressure to buy. It also helps considering how friendly they are. They have a great selection of knives that fit any budget. Benchmade, Spyderco, and Kershaw to name a few. I could stay there all day!:D Parking is very limited in the lot, to the left of the shop. Never had an issue parking though. If you need gun supplies or a knife lover, check this place out! read more

Located at 1322 Young Street, this reputable gun shop has been in business since 1984. Although the online photos may depict a storefront clearly marked by identifying company logo, at present day, there is no signage on the building. In fact, if you are unfamiliar with the precise location of this shop, it is all too easy to drive right by this understated two-story, stand-alone building. While parking can be limited, there are several stalls in back of the property which can be accessed down a narrow driveway to the right of the structure, or if you're lucky, there is free street parking as well. Upon walking in, you'll be greeted by merchandise strategically placed throughout the compact interior square footage of this store. At the rear of the shop, you'll find a row of glass display cases containing new and consignment handguns, in addition to a selection of long guns lining the back wall behind the sales counter. As for service, let's just say at this time, I'm neutral about today's encounter since the staff were at least attentive and helpful. I wish all retail experiences were pleasantly average. However, when it comes to individuals, we're all made up differently, therefore we behave according to where we're at internally. The words we choose to convey are as important as our delivery. Although the sales associate meant well, his exact words were, "So you do know there is no concealed carry in Hawaii?" which borders on anything other than courteous. A better way of clarification on his part may have been, "Yeah, it's too bad there's no concealed carry in Hawaii" which would've gotten the same point across to anyone whom he's assuming is not aware of this knowledge. In the end, the bottom line in this case is price. My continued patronage to this establishment is yet to be determined. read more

After years of shopping around the island, I've come to the verdict that SEC is the BEST gun shop in town. And here's why: 1. Pricing, is probably the best deals you'll find for firearms locally. I've almost bought guns from other places, but after doing some rate shopping at SEC, I was glad to find that their prices were better by a good margin. They offer great law enforcement discounts as well. 2. NO CC FEES, that is a big deal to people like me who like to use their cards to purchase. It makes a difference and is a big reason why I decided I will come here to shop for my firearm needs from now on. 3. Great customer service! These guys are friendly and don't try to belittle you like alot of firearms salesmen do. They are knowledgable and know their stuff as well. All in all I think they really work hard to give competitive prices and truly earn your business. Which is why I decided to write this review! read more

Best gun store on the island of Oahu. Pros: Very friendly, helpful, and informative staff. Even though the store is small, they're willing to order things for you. Everything is always in stock or on the way. Cons: Antz you fricka...it took 6 months for my pistol order to come in. Hehehee. read more
