I would definitely recommend him to anyone that needs those things as well as private party transactions. read more

I love this place. The man who runs it is kind and very patient to any questions you may have. He was informative and made the whole process much easier facing Californias bullshit laws. Compared to other shops I have been to in San Diego I didn't feel like an outcast here. He made me feel like I had the right to be there and I feel that's important when purchasing a firearm. He had a great selection of firearms and took the time to explain what he had and what he recommended. The prices were fair and I'm happy with the money I spent. Will be back again. read more

Called and ask for ammo on a Wednesday, he let me know what he had. I let him know I would be calling him on the weekend to come buy it. Come Friday, I told my wife let's go get the ammo early. Been calling everyday since Friday no answer. Someone should go check up on these guys. I left a message on the answering machine still haven't got a reply. Good news Turners had the ammo but I live in south bay, it would of been a 7min drive if the guys wanted to sell ammo. Maybe If he returns my call and I buy ammo this review might earn four more lil stars. read more

UPDATE: 7/22/2019 Messed up DROS on a firearm; I've told him the correct category to categorize the firearm when first initially submitting the DROS, but insisted it was something else based on what he believes. I've provided evidence by the manufacturer to prove it was such. He was not able to fix it or attempt to fix it, but prolong the wait time to pickup. I see & hear other peoples' experience who had had the same exact DROS issue with the same exact firearm, their FFL had no problem rectifying the issue. read more

Mike the owner is absolutely amazing with his customers and very knowledgeable in everything he does. It's hard finding a gun shop during these times. With Mike, I can contact him directly if I have any questions about firearms and he's straight to the point. It's rare finding any gun businesses out here where the salesmen are polite and courteous to their customers, especially the ones without too much knowledgeable on firearms. But Mike takes care of all of his customers, even if you are a first time buyer! read more

Mike the owner of WCSA is awesome. He's very knowledgeable and is easy to talk to and can help you with any firearms questions you may have. I've bought quite a few items from Mike his no frills approach to big box stores offers prices that are very competitive and often less. If you are on Facebook Mike is on there and can usually answer your questions within an hour. This is probably the best way to contact WCSA to order parts or accessories or to ask a question about a current or future firearms purchase. Mike is also a retired Marine which also makes my purchases feel like I'm saying thank you for your service In not just word but in deed. Hey people gotta eat right? Give Mike and WCSA your business you will be glad you did. read more

One of the best most knowledgeable firearm store I know. The owner is extremely friendly and helpful especially if you are new to firearms. He treats you with respect as a customer. He will never make you feel dumb. He was a marine scout sniper. So if you have questions about precision he knows what he's talking about. He is always happy to answer especially on his Facebook page. If he doesn't have a firearm in his inventory, you can make a request and he will get it for you. Please know this is a home based ffl one of the few around. But believe me you won't be disappointed with his service. I've been going to him for 4 years. A great American small business with a great veteran owner. read more

Very knowledgeable and professional. Made my purchase smooth and easy. Definitely recommend coming to Mike for your firearm needs.
