This guys are no joke. Best facility for indoor shooting on this island. Great prices on ammo and more than fair on firearms. Great helpful staff and most import! Safe! Don't forget your shoes or pay for disposable shoe covers. read more

Friendly and very helpful. Got this sig p365xl and pick up a sig226 x5 from them. They also cleaned up my 3030 lever action for me. Thanks x-ring. read more

We're business owners and we've been thinking about taking a gun training class for a while. We didn't pursue it until a situation we had this morning at our business. So my other-half went to HPD down town to get a permit and was informed that in order for us to purchase a gun, he'd have to take this specific training class online. Did that but also planned to take their training course. My other half had went in earlier in the day to see what he needed to bring to purchase it so he went home a got the necessary paperwork. (Same employee down below, was rude to him from the beginning) I went back here with him to purchase it. We walk in, no greeting. Employees looking at us like we're lost. Which, yes we were we're not familiar so we were expecting to be helped. Finally someone (a male, didn't get his name) came to help us. My other half showed him his certification and he said HPD probably won't take it. Ok, fine. We left and outside I explained to my other half that even if it WASNT the right paperwork, you're still buying a gun and taking their course anyway so might as well buy it while we're here instead of going back & forth. So we go back in, same guy makes eye contact and doesn't say a word. He finally comes over and my other half explains why he came back. He starts asking him questions which is again, understandable. My other half isn't a man of many words so when you ask something he's not going to give you a full explanation unless you ask for it. Long story short, he made us feel stupid for being in there and didn't help AT ALL. While my other half was looking at the cases, he then starts talking to another customer (possibly a regular) about how alarming it is that people just come in trying to buy guns. Directly in front of us. The customer was basically ignoring him and politely nodding. YES, it is very alarming but you of all people working at a gun shop should understand and exercise the right to bare arms, no? You as an employee and an educator should be HELPFUL and not rude. I'm not one to post reviews unless it is an epically horrible experience. One thing I CANNOT stand is when people make you feel LITTLE just because they can. We'll be taking our business elsewhere and letting those around us to do the same. read more

It was my 1st time at X-RING today. The staff was very welcoming and friendly soon as I entered the store/range. The staff walked me through a quick safety review. Then it was time to hit the range!!! Mahalo to Matt for the pointers he gave me today!!! And Mahalo to the entire X-Ring staff for making me feel welcome!! I'll definitely be back for more range time!!! Aloha read more

X-Ring Security & Firearms - Fun Day at X-RING! - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

Only shot at their indoor range once(2016) top of the line range. Trade off, very expensive(but shooting guns is expensive) need to pay for membership,buy their target, and buy their ammo(understandably for liability).Expect to pay $5ish more for their ammo. Spent about $100 for a great range session. Also Mae(owner) GREAT customer service. read more

I give it a 2 star because I can't understand why their range ammo prices are so expensive, when I can go to another store and buy the same ammo for so much cheaper, especially fmj ammo for target practice. I would rather take the drive to koko head shooting range. I some what keep up with the market in the firearms industry and their stuff is a little overpriced. I really want to like this place, they really do have a nice indoor range but they're just to pricey. Just want to get my shot accuracy and firearm practices in with out having to spend over a hundred dollars every visit. If you got money to spend and it's convenient for you, then go for it. read more

Very welcoming environment. The staff was amazing Matt has great conversation skills and connects with customers very well. As for all the ladies that work there they are very helpful and knowledgeable in all of the company, what they have to offer and of course safety. The place itself has many different things to offer, a range (no pun intended lol) of targets, and many different guns you can rent out. If you want to get better. Being in Hawaii you have to abide by all the laws so you can't use other equipment like extended mags, silencers and all that so not their fault but I'm glad they told me up front. As for my trip to X-Ring I would say shooting there was pretty fun and safe of course. read more

Very unprofessional, and poor customer service from the African American guy! Insulting comments were made from the African American guy. Definitely don't recommend X-ring. Highly recommend Kit N Gun instead. read more

If you want to shoot indoors this place is where you want to be. Very clean and well made place with a great staff. The only downside (if you can even count this as a downside) is getting there. You really have to drive through a sort of sketchy and dirty backroad with sidewalks full of rubbish until you can find this range. It will make you wonder what kind of range you are even going to.. but fear not my fellow paper busters this range is perfect. Like with most ranges the check in is all relatively the same. Prices on ammo and paper.. also relatively the same. But you dont go to ranges looking for who sells a box of ammo $1.50 cheaper than another range especially if this range is in closer proximity to where you live.. you'll waste the same amount of gas trying to save that little amount of money to shoot at an establishment with less to offer. (Not that I'm knocking any other ranges or anything) One of my favorite things about this place is the digital panel that sets your target out automatically at the distance you prefer. Seems like a small thing to love but honestly when you're at other ranges and hitting that toggle switch thinking to yourself "yeah that looks about 15 meters" and start to smack that switch back and forth just because you're a perfectionist.. you really start to unintentionally enjoy this little piece of technology. Overall this place is worth the stop.. practice, be efficient and try not to flag me. See you guys out there read more

Overpriced and underrated. The only thing good about this place is the fact you get to use an indoor range. Also, the location is very suspect so be carefull as you enter the area. read more

Great place to test out your guns and practice on targets. Facility is clean, could get pricy, but I say its worth it!

You wouldn't think you'd find this place in a tight neighborhood. It's pretty much a diamond in the rough. Gated location, parking lot is decent and clean. Walk into the facility you are welcomed with a nice breeze of AC. They explain that this is a all member shooting range, if you are not a member you have to sign up. $30 for life time and you renew when are asked too. They go over your safety briefing for first time shooter which is very helpful. Walking into the shooting range which is WELL VENTILATED! Which is awesome. Workers there are nice and informative. This was my first time shooting and I would be seeing myself coming back very soon! I advise those to try this place out! You will not be disappointed! read more

This is my go-to indoor range whenever I come over to Oahu. There's a decent selection of rental guns, or you can bring your own pistol, rifle (up to .308), or shotgun. You must buy their ammunition, which is a shooting range best-practice. Membership is a modest $30, range fees and ammo costs are in line with competitors' prices. The range itself is clean, well lit, and and cool, with good air handling equipment. The staff was very welcoming and professional. read more

The nicest folks you could meet! Today was my first time stepping in didn't know what to expect but they exceeded any expectations. I was able to come in become a member and immediately step into the range and shoot my personal weapons. I love how they have the 5min safety video to pre familiarize yourself with the area and rules. They also had some decent eye protection at a cheap rate I forgot to bring my clear lenses so don't fret if you make the same mistake I did! read more

This is the best range on the island period. Very helpful and very nice. Range safety's are super cool and responsible, they dont make u feel dumb or try too show you they know more than you just cuz ur military or enforcement. RSO gives tips on zero and proper shooting technique and even realigned my rear sight for me with his own tools for free. It's a bit pricey but once ur a member it's like a club feel you get, rather than a super tense range (safety is always maintained). I over heard someone next to me accidentally aim at the concrete floor ( super dangerous) the RSO didnt freak out and belittle her like I've seen at koko head, he tactfully and professionally let her know it was dangerous corrected the issue and went on with the training. Again for me dont matter what the place is customer service is number one and this place does it right. That alone will keep me coming back :) read more

The place is tucked in a little neighborhood, but you can't miss it with the huge American flag painting on the wall. Inside is nice, cool, and clean. Staff is friendly and helpful. Nice gun selections from handguns to rifles they seem to have many types and models. The price tags on some of these weapons seems high though. There's a one time lifetime membership fee and range fees. You have to buy the rounds and target there to use at their range. Rounds are expensive. Ask for military discount. Love vendors that support our military. Range is very clean and nice having AC and not having to deal with the heat like Kokohead range. Overall it's clean, helpful staff, yet expensive. But you get what you pay for which is convenience. read more

Great service & outstanding facility. Always enjoy my therapy time at X-Ring S&F. Mahalo.

Tucked away at the end of a narrow, dingy residential street in Waipahu is this remarkably spacious and well kept gated property containing a gun shop, ample private lot parking and a qualification range for those attending courses offered here. As first time visitors, we were promptly greeted by the friendly and knowledgable staff despite the showroom full of busyness from the weekend crowd. On this occasion, Brian Takaba who is the sales manager, happily assisted us with pricing, as well as other informative and helpful information. Yay! Our search is over! read more

This place was recommended to me by a friend of mine since I had a bunch of accessories to add to my wife's AR -15 and was more than willing to pay someone to do it for me. Enter X-Ring Security and Firearms. Located in Waipahu in a location you would least expect given the neighborhood that you have to drive through to get there. I took a couple wrong turns before I got here and kept thinking to myself, "oh boy" You don't want to be looking for directions on your phone and bang a car. Your so fricking screwed. If you been in this neck of the woods, you know what I'm talking about. After finally getting there I had Brian look over what was needed to be done to add the accessories that I brought in to install on my wife's rifle(1 hr labor $50.00) not a bad deal. Along with that they offered to thread the barrel ($75.00) to add a muzzle brake($75.00) since the barrel was going to be removed anyway. When he said it looked naked without it I was sold. Its a custom brake made by them too and it looks really nice. I liked the customer service here. They were all very friendly and more than helpful. I know other places that I go to, I would've had a different reception along with attitude regardless how polite you try to be. Something that doesn't deserve my money when I'm questioning their services. They have construction going on right next door and from what I found out its a new 25 yard 8 lane indoor gun range being built. From what I was told is you can bring your own ammo or buy theirs. Not like Honolulu Firearms and Range where you can only buy their overpriced ammo to shoot at their 4 lane indoor range. 05/13/14 - Came in to pick up my wife's rifle today and I couldn't be more jealous. Brian did an excellent job of assembling all the accessories and changing out (low profile gas block $50.00)ones that didn't fit to complete the job. The rifle came out really nice and the wife is super stoked. Mahalo for all your help. Great prices and friendly customer service. Highly recommend this place if you need something installed, repaired or even purchasing a firearm read more

I am an avid gun owner and honestly this place was not only over priced but the customer service was atrocious. I was helped by a guy named Matt who was incredibly condescending, and frankly did not know what he was talking about. I rather drive into town than deal with them. read more

This is hands down the best gun range I've ever been to! My cousin, our ladies and I were greeted with a warm welcome and the most enthusiastic and helpful staff. Justin- the owner, took to helping us immediately and was so patient with our first time shooter. I was so giddy to see their incredible selection of rentable firearms. The most fun part about their facility is their laser simulator. I highly recommend for groups- but I could easily spend all day doing that myself. Our first time shooter was apprehensive but Justin was a great help in getting her familiar and we all had the best time. I love this place and will be back again VERY soon. Thanks Justin read more

X-Ring Security & Firearms - First time shooter getting into it real quick! - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

The guys here are very helpful and friendly, even to newbies to the hobby. I went there to look at a scope I saw in their booth at the Gun Show, my friend ended up ordering a bolt action from Brian just because of how friendly and helpful they were. I'm so use to the prejudices and opinionated personalities of gun shop staff that this experience threw me off my guard, they were respectful with their opinions without intruding on our viewpoints; even when they didn't agree with them. The location is a bit out of the way, but I'm sure that is how they keep their cost low; lowering the bottom line. There are a few back roads you need to drive through to get to them, but they keep their property line clean and bright. Product pricing is competitive with online and other shops, key note is the person (his name escapes me, so sorry!!!) assembled, mounted, and bore sighted my scope for me right there in store. With that they gave me a crash course on how to use, adjust, dismount/remount and answered my questions about the optics; something you can't get online. These guys really strive to push the customer service element which is valuable enough to drive from Ala Moana area to Waipahu. read more

Do not go to this store. I wish I would have read the reviews before stepping foot into this place and wasting my time. These guys are so backwards - no customer service and they do act like entitled wannabe tactical guys. If you're in the military or in law enforcement take your business else where it's actually appreciated. Unbelievable that they are so short, rude, and dismissive! I am never the one to write a bad review but I couldn't believe how rude and I was treated like an inconvenience. read more

I first reviewed this business before they expanded into the largest indoor range in Hawaii. 25 yards, NINE LANES, and the ONLY indoor range to allow rifle calibers (up to .308). Some of the newest firearms are also available to rent. You MUST be a member which carries a ONE TIME $30.00 fee. It's a small extra price to pay for a PROPERLY VENTILATED indoor range and it's also air-conditioned. Their private parking lot is also very convienent as no one wants to worry about their car while they're trying to get some range time in. read more

I've been going to X-Ring ever since I found out there was a gun store in Waipahu. The staff are really polite and they greet you when you walk in. Makes you feel really welcome and not intimidated! They really make buying your gun easy. Brian and Mae are very knowledgeable and they take the time to explain things to you. I bought my Ruger Takedown there and also bought an Aim Sports scope. The scope was cheap but surprisingly accurate! I could hit the 100 yard steel at Koko Head Silouette range. Well worth the $100! Oh and they do adjust your sights for you with a laser. Waiting for them to bring in a Sig P229 Legion! Oh yah, sweetness right there! I'm also glad that they opened an indoor range! It was a looong time coming but worth the wait! You have to buy their ammo and target, which I think is reasonably priced! I usually shoot 9mm and 45acp. I think you can shoot up to .308! They also have eye and ear protection just in case you forget yours! The range is air conditioned so you're not all sweaty after your shooting session, unlike the other indoor range! I recommend bringing in your SO for a range date! I guarantee they'll love it! They also have gun classes so you can get your affidavit to purchase handguns. Also, I believe they are a FFL dealer. And when you enter or exit the range, remember to open one door at a time! Or everyone in the showroom will give you the stink eye LOL! So head down to the ghettos of Waipahu and you'll find a paradise called X-Ring Security and Firearms! read more

After an initial miscommunication with an employee, Justin took complete ownership, contacted me directly, and corrected my issue in a more than satisfactory manner. I was provided outstanding customer service. It's obvious to me that the business model here is to take care of the customers. I will continue to use X-Ring for all my firearm needs. read more

You will never be cool enough for these guys unless you wear a plate carrier into the shop. Bunch of wannabe tactical hipsters work here who act like they are gods gift to the planet. Try and make small talk and they are too good for you. They are also overpriced. You can support other local shops with better prices. Do your research. The range is nice only reason the get two stars instead of one. They guy that does the cerakote work and is often running the range is cool. We like him this review does not apply to him he gets five stars. read more

I came from town to buy some pepper spray for my wife but didn't know I needed to buy a membership to purchase things from here. $30 membership $30 pepper spray $60 total just for pepper spray? I can see membership to shoot at the range but to buy merchandise? The staff is great, friendly and helpful though. read more

Bought many guns from them, in store and ffl transfers. Brian is the BEST! This braddah from the start was friendly, knowledgeable and informative. Helped me with a shotgun I was having trouble with too. Visited only 4 of the local gun shops so far, and Brian and his staff is the best. There's a HOT chick behind the counter too! I may have to buy a gun from her. Thanks Brian...from a customer who happens to be an impulse buyer, I will continue to spend here. Over $5K in a few short months, you gonna get me into trouble with my wife, you keep showing me these new toys. Mahalo Bro! read more

They just posted Lancer 5.56 and 300blk magazines on their Instagram story for $29.99. The same mags which can be bought on Primary Arms and Gun Mag Warehouse for $15.99-18.99 (color dependent) with $5-7 shipping. For the past three years I've been here they've always had their firearms and accessories marked at or above MSRP. There is no reason, other than greed, to mark up your prices 30-50% higher than other retailers. Even HGS sells the same mags at a more comparable price to some of the leading online retailers. I am not opposed to paying more to have an item in my hands today, rather than wait for shipping, but they've become more bold and offensive with their pricing. Ultimately they blocked me on their Instagram in an effort to censor anyone with enough common sense to shop elsewhere. It's not even like I posted a public comment, it was a DM to them. Now they'll have a public review and a scar of poor public relations. They clearly don't want to listen to customers. I'm sure plenty will continue to shop and be taken advantage of there. This is a poor business model and customer relations strategy to operate on. read more

Walked in a few weeks ago with my bf to check out deals on ammo. First time being in a place like that. Listened as the staff member briefed a customer before entering and went over all the safety measures even though she knew he had been there before. Made me feel more accepting of the place being that I've never shot before. My daughter and i watched from the big open glass window as fathers taught their young sons to shoot and aim at targets. I'd like to go back one day to have my first experience. read more

I just heard that Brian is no longer at X-Ring. It will be great to be able to go back, shoot there and support Mae and the team. I left a one star review awhile back and stated that X-Ring deserved a five star rating if it weren't for Brian and meant it. Because of that, I had to come back and make sure I posted the rating they deserved. read more

Best place to shoot on the Island. I go here regularly with my husband as well as friends. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable, if you have questions or need pointers they are always there to help. Indoor range so you are not outside melting in the sun which is a big plus for me. Great selection of rental firearms. I did the handgun safety class and it was great, I learned so much. read more

I like X-Ring and some of the helpful staff there. However, the low rating is because of the way Sterling treats some of the people going there to shoot and enjoy their firearms at their range. You get the vibe that he doesn't want you shooting there, he's hard to approach or talk to, treats you like you don't know what you're doing, and just has a negative personality. If he was as relaxed and easy to talk to, like Akira or Carlene, then my rating for them would be a lot higher. Sadly, that's not the case. read more

I'm a newbie to the gun scene and this was only my 2nd time utilizing the indoor range at X-Ring and all I gotta say is...They. Are. Awesome. Super knowledgeable and friendly staff make u feel welcomed and answer any question(s) (especially a newbie like me that has like a thousand) with ease and attentiveness. Gun selection isn't huge if ur looking to buy (although they can order any brand/model with pretty competitive pricing) but they have a nice selection of guns to rent. Super clean and comfortable, temperature controlled facility with 9 lanes I believe. Had an awesome time shooting yesterday for the cousins birthday (U shoot for free on ur birthday!) just wanted to send a big MAHALO to the staff at X-Ring for taking care of the big, loud group! read more

I used to come here every so often, but ever since their upgrade and range addition, this place has really gone downhill. To purchase any item from the shop you have to pay for an annual $30 membership. Really? Any the prices are already higher than other gun stores. To use the range you have to be a member, then pay an $20-30 hourly range fee every time, pay for their targets as well as their expensive ammo. I was looking to purchase a few things there and was speaking with and employee when they asked me if I was a member of the store. I said no and they walked away to talk to another customer and no one helped me for the next 10-15 minutes. I went to pay for some items and was asked again if I was a member. I said no and was then told I have to buy a membership. If you are new to the firearms community please do not be tricked by this place. They are better and cheaper gun stores on the island. read more
