I have done numerous gun transfers here and ordered ammo to be delivered to their FFL. They are ALWAYS extremely helpful and prices by far the cheapest around.

The best place to do any kind of business. These guys are professionally knowledgeable and genuinely polite and courteous. Fort Courage is the ONLY place I do business for anything firearm related.

Straight 5 star service here! Called first to see if they purchase guns. Tim was great and said come right in! Not only do they do an 80/20 split on consignment, they are super nice and knowledgeable here! One of the guns is worth quite a bit of money and not on the Ca roster. Marybeth and Tim know all about great customer service. I was waiting a week for a call back from another local place after calling daily with no response. Highly recommend coming here for all your gun needs.

I have purchased a couple pistols from the consignment shelf and have had several thousand rounds of ammo sent to this location from online retailers. Great shop with friendly service, hours are short so make sure you plan accordingly. 10/10 good to go!

What a pleasant surprise. Very, very polite, helpful and knowledgeable. Answered my questions without making me feel like an idiot as some other places do. My new "goto" gun store.

They are so kind and great people especially the guy that I was talking with him and helped me to register my new firearm and also his try to help for the day that I going to pick up,because pick up day is Friday he told me if I can't coming at the time before they leave the store just call me I can wait till you're coming and I really appreciate for that because I'm so far from my area to that location and I have to pick up after work.

I transferred a Ruger lcp through fort courage. A couple of years later I discovered they had registered it as an lcr. He said there's nothing he can do . I researched and found out he can sign in to doj website and correct his mistake. He corrected his error then he was a complete arrogant a** like he had done nothing wrong. Ok

I just want to warn people who are thinking of coming to this establishment that the customer service is severely lacking. I walked in for my FFL transfer wearing my mask, not knowing there was a sign on the front door stating "no masks allowed". Right away I was instructed to remove it, by a gentleman named, Tim. I told him I was wearing it for my own safety and that people have been wearing masks for the past two years now but he just said, "not in here". He also said, since I was wearing my mask that he didn't know if I was there to burglarize him or not, and if I WAS, he would have shot me. He also claimed he was an ex-police officer. I guess he has the "shoot now, ask questions later" mentality. His other colleague, a woman possibly in her late 30s early 40s, also had an attitude and wasn't very courteous. Tim and his colleague could have gone about the whole thing very differently and been way more professional. Also, at the time of pick up, Tim tried to charge me an additional $10 for ammunition which I had already paid for. This was my first and last experience here.

The female staff I encountered was very rude and looked very timid when I walked in with my mask on. I walked out when they asked me to take it off for safety reasons. What a joke! They only care about themselves and not the customer and the community they serve.

I have used them for getting ammo delivered multiple times, and have even done an FFL transfer. I will say that they have handled these transaction well. My issue is that they are closed more often than open during their posted business hours. Easy to get stuff shipped to them, sure. Picking it up is another story. Rushed home from work one Friday to try and get there before 5, walked up at 4:45 and the doors were already locked and everyone gone. Came back the next Tuesday, as they're only open Tuesday-Friday, to find that they were closed. Getting there on a weekday from 11-5 leaves a very narrow window for most people, and then to go through all that effort multiple times only to pull up to a locked shop is super frustrating. Especially when you have a shooting excursion planned and have to cancel because you don't have ammo. I have ordered 1000's of rounds through them, but the hassle just isn't worth it. Does you no good to save money ordering online if they make it impossible to pick up. On another order, I came three days in a row, Tuesday-Thursday only to find them closed at 2 pm each time. I don't even think they ever opened those days at all. I will be using another FFL for ammo and gun purchases from now on. They've wasted enough of my time.

Great shop, Tim is the best around!! The best FFL around. From transfers, to out of state ammo shipments, easy smooth transactions every time.

As an avid gun collector and outdoorsman I feel that I am qualified to write this review. The staff at Fort Courage Armory is rude, condescending and not very helpful. I was shopping in this store for another gun to add to my collection with no other customers in the store and the staff acted as if they were doing me a favor by assisting me. They just looked at me as if they were too good to even acknowledge or speak to me. I am not one to play the RACIST card but, I definitely sensed the RACISM in the store. I have done business with almost all of the gun stores in Ventura County and Fort Courage Armory has got to be the worst in Ventura County by far. With so many other gun stores in the area there is absolutely no reason to ever shop at Fort Courage Arms.
