The kindness, knowledge, and cheer spirit of helping anyone that comes in the door. I felt well taken care of from the day I walked in. I will be coming back again and again for all my fire arm needs. You guys rock!!! read more

I wanted to make my first gun purchase and needed assistance picking out the right one for me. I didn't want to go to a big box store and get generic help. I made the right choice. They gave me several options to look at and explained everything about them. I appreciate that they didn't talk down to me and were patient. Will definitely return. read more

This is my premiere gun dealer. They are willing to order specialty elements. This is the only place I purchase my firearms from.

Very unorganized, and it takes forever waiting in line to get a box of ammo or even to ask a question at the counter sales person for a particular rifle or shotgun read more

The Team at Sportsman's Arm were very knowledgeable and patient as they educated me Thank you Roy read more

Great selection and friendly, knowledgeable staff. If you're looking to purchase a firearm, strongly consider these guys. read more

Bought my gun and some mags here. Great team and service. Very patient. Very helpful. Extremely informative. I will be returning for more accessories in the near future. read more

Sportsmans Arms - Springfield Armory Echelon 4.5 Full Size. - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Petaluma, California

Every interaction I've had with this shop has been top notch. Via email and even DM the owner has made time to clearly answer all my questions, no BS, no greasy sales tactics. Their hands on knowledge of firearms (both on and off roster) as well as current insights as to laws, legalities, and also pending gun legislation makes this indie gun shop one of the best in the West. From mild to wild, anything I'm going to be adding to my gun safe will be coming from here. read more

Very helpful group. Took us through the entire process to purchase a handgun. Didn't matter that we were not the most experienced gun buyers. Made us feel welcome. Thanks! read more

Amazing shop! They were all incredibly helpful throughout the process and I'd recommend this shop to anyone.

Incredibly nice and helpful staff. They don't treat you like you're dumb for asking a lot of questions and they really take the time to explain things well. Definitely will return. read more

After visiting Sportsman's Arms twice in the last month I will never set foot in another fire arms store ever again!! These guys rock!! They greet you when you enter the store, they're very knowledgeable and friendly!! Mark helped me both times and he was great!! Trust me when I say they're the best in Sonoma County!!! I'm a disabled USAF Veteran so all you Veterans out there support this business!!! Thanks again fellas!! read more

Sportsmans Arms - This is a badass rifle !!!!! - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Petaluma, California

Huge selection of guns. Polite and helpful even when the store is packed. Always answers your questions and doesn't try to make you feel stupid when you do ask one. read more

Owner is very rude and condescending I'm not sure if it was him who answered the phone when I called but he straight up lied to me. I like to support local businesses but I'd rather give my money to Amazon then the "illmanneredgunrunner707". I'll never buy anything from here again. It really isn't that hard to be polite and respectful but at the very least be honest. when going here I'm already over paying because I like supporting local businesses but as far as this place goes I'll never step foot in there again. read more

Just wanted to say that almost every purchase I have made has been from this store. Roy is the nicest person I have EVER encountered at a gun store. This store is packed with customers everyday and I mean packed. With only a few employees they handle the chaos of buyers gracefully and respectfully. Hands down best prices in the Bay Area. I repeat hands down best prices. If it's not in the store they will order it for you if they can and give you the best deals. If you ever see a bad review the person writing it is most likely a liberal wack job who believes in more than two genders and loves Gavin newsom. Let that sink in. This gun store F@&$ing rocks. read more

Great group of men they're very knowledgeable and fair with prices as much as they can be in California. Great selection of guns and accessories. Thank you gentlemen. read more

Great selection. Great customer service. This shop is 70 miles away from where I live, but I'll continue to choose this place over all the others in the bay area. Don't be deceived by the shop's Instagram memes. Roy's not that bad. read more

Update March 3, 2022: I saw an item on they're Instagram page, called in to reserve it and I just finished my paperwork. As always the place is full of customers, but unbeatable customer service took care of that quickly. I was help within five minutes and I was done with my paperwork 15 minutes later. These guys know their shit, they have great customer service, truly knowledgeable about firearms laws and the store is crazy stocked. I only wish it was closer to my house. !!!!By the way they have plenty of parking!!!! read more

Probably the best gun store I've ever walked into. You'll find guns that you won't find anywhere else. Amazing customer service aswell. Highly recommend. read more

Solid shop, great inventory. Just good ole dudes sellin awesome lefal guns and ammo and accessories. These guys are america

It was the easiest most enjoyable place to buy a gun. Had exactly what I wanted and everyone there was totally cool, no attitude.

Ive been following gabe for a while now but finally made the drive to his shop 60 miles away. They have the best variety of guns ive seen. Too bad theyre so far away from me or i would be there spending all my money lol Roy helped me out with my purchase,easy and smooth transaction. The whole crew was helpful and welcoming read more

Gabe and Roy at Sportsman's are great. Not my first purchase, won't be my last. If you want a real shop, with people who know their business and are there to help. Stop in and check out them out, you won't be disappointed. read more

Everyone was friendly, beyond helpful and the process was so quick and efficient. Glad I came here.

Awesome selection and knowledgeable guys. Even when short staffed and busy, Gabe and Roy were patient, professional, and relatable. Both know A LOT about their profession and take the time to answer whatever question you may have. Will definitely be coming here again. read more

Went in to get my fire arm safety certificate and my first gun. They were nice and friendly. They helped me throughout the whole process and made me feel welcome. Wonderful experience. It was worth the long trip to their location and would choose to shop with them every time for the future. read more

Best gun store in the Northern California. I've purchased two handguns there and always been treated great. I sent several friends to the store and they are always happy. I highly recommend the store. read more

Poor excuse for a gun shop. Horrible selection. High prices. Rarely have stuff in stock. And discriminatory. There are better options. This is my firsthand experience as a customer of this establishment. Cue the owner Gabe to DM me more threats of physical violence. Yeah yelp, that's how Gabe responds to negative reviews. Edit: See his response below. He's been messaging me non stop since I posted this review. He starts a new DM thread every day. And he now claims I pointed a weapon at him when in fact I never brought a weapon into his store (shoulder shrug). I'd question whether this guy is mentally stable enough to own a gun but before long California will close his shop altogether so it's a non issue. Maybe in his next business venture he can sell bulk tissue paper. "Charmin Bulk Supply". read more

Sportsmans Arms - Emotional owner cant handle criticism. - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Petaluma, California

If I could give more stars I would. Roy was actually helpful! All jokes aside, Gabe, Roy, and Cliff are all super professional, quick and knowledgeable. And to top things off, their selection and product availability are bare none. No one in the North Bay competes read more

One of the greatest experiences ive ever had in purchasing a firearm! Gabe,Roy and the other guys made it a fun and enjoyable experience. Thank you guys for everything and a smooth transaction. Be sure to check them out for anything firearms related. read more

Sportsmans Arms - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Petaluma, California

Gabe and his team are some of the nicest, most accommodating firearm shop staff I have ever known (i've shopped in multiple states, Idaho and California over my 40+ years). They are all happy to have a conversation about the firearms they carry, about the hows and why's of everything related and even about random Instagram story gossip. I've had my wife in the store with me several times - true to their website commentary, they honestly enjoy talking to newbies to the shooting sports, talking with those more experienced, but they really light up when they get to share their enthusiasm with ladies interested in the sport (Roy will likely be helping my wife build out an impressive but very girly firearm). As with any sport, building a strong relationship with your local shop/experts will payoff tenfold, and these guys are no exception - they are great at answer questions from both the wife and I (better with her), great st making learned and realistic recommendations. Whether you are purchasing a firearm or ammunition, looking for gunsmith, or just trying to become more educated I cannot emphasize enough that the guys at Sportsman's Arms are there to help, to be your experts, or to just shoot the proverbial sh*t about shooting sports - I highly encourage anyone in the SF Bay Area to make Sportsman's Arms your go-to firearm/gunsmith/shooting shop. read more

Great knowledgeable staff and tons of cool toys to drool over. Without question the best arms store in the area. The selection and employee efficiency is second to none. I will be back for all of my future purchases. read more

Great dudes, great selection, great vibe in the store...very professional but about as laid back as they can be. There are the only guys I will deal with in this area. read more

Gabe and Roy are some of the best in the business! They're not only helpful and knowledgable, but also fun and friendly. Would highly recommend their shop to anyone in the area. read more

Decided to buy my first hand gun so I did a quick google search and Sportsman's Arms popped up with great reviews. I stopped in and was greeted immediately by Gabe and he helped me with all my questions. I knew what I wanted but he helped reinforce my decision fully in the end and walked me through the steps on buying my first handgun. The process was relatively quick and painless and I recommend them to anyone looking to buy a handgun. Great clean store and many selections all around. read more

Friendliest Customer Service very knowledgeable Definitely worth the drive from the city 35-40 minutes. I'm so sick of the gun stores in San Mateo county with the attitude, that when I drove up to Petaluma from San Francisco, The second I walked in the door I knew I was around like-minded people who are just easy-going and made they me feel really comfortable. And kid friendly. read more

Lots of selections. Very knowledgeable. Super cool staff. Good priced guns. All kinds to choose from. 100% better to go to than big box stores. My go to Store read more
