This is my go to spot. Yes you can shop around but you will not find a better staff. And if they don’t have what your looking for just ask them. I am willing to bet they can get it. Great selection of firearms to boot. You want it they got it! Everyone in there the staff is happy to be there and I’m sure they enjoy what they do. Happy work makes it easy for folks like myself to shop and ask question. And I’ve never been there and had a bad experience. 5 stars!! 🌟 o and did I say they have colts in stock!
I would recommend this spot for sure. The staff here are really mellow and laid back, and for those negative comments about waiting, what do you expect, these guys are busy taking orders, filling out paperwork and doing their best to help. And when theres like 10 people at once,, what do you expect.. Anyways my experience here was cool, I was really satisfied and really happy that I was able to get my brand new AK 47, and my brand new benelli shotgun here. They got a good selection of ammo and cleaning kits, along with stocks and other materials for your weapons. The selection of firearms are really good, they may have what your looking for, if not you can ask and see if they can order one for you. Once again thank you guys, and yes I would recommend this place if anyone is looking to purchase a firearm.
Hands-down one of the best gun stores in the Bay Area. Whether you are a regular customer or a newbie looking for your first firearm, the guys at Cordelia Gun Exchange will always treat you with courtesy and respect. They carry a nice variety of rifles, shotguns and handguns, include some goodies that are hard to find in California. I high recommend Cordelia Gun Exchange for your firearms needs.
This is by far one of the best places to go for all your gun and ammo needs. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable while also having an amazing inventory behind them. Aside from a large array of firearms and ammo, they also have a great selection of accessories. All of which are very good prices. By no means is this my local gun store, but I can’t see myself going anywhere else. I find myself wanting to go back just to hang out and talk with the staff about guns or just small talk in general. I would recommend anyone to go here over anywhere else I have been.
5 Stars for Cordelia Gun Exchange . They have a great crew here. The sales staff is very knowledgeable and they always have a great selection. They are happy to answer questions and show you what’s new in their inventory. Special thanks to Nick and Justin for the excellent service.
The employees are very knowledgeable as well as courteous. As soon as my wife and I arrived we were greeted at the door it made us feel welcomed. Be advised there is a wait time of one hour or more depending on what day and what time you get there but its worth it to get what you want . When other places dont have what your looking for. Theres a laid back atmosphere to the store which makes you feel relaxed. While your there you might as well look at the display counter. The staff treats everyone weather your knowledgeable or not about guns with respect.
VERY polite, VERY nice, professional and courteous, not the experience weve come to expect at gun stores. i called asking for ammo and they had what i wanted so i went in, the line wasnt bad and the staff made sure to communicate with me as i waited to confirm they could help. the process of buying a firearm or ammo in CA is complex and slow, so it takes time but these guys have the process down much better than other local shops or the larger sporting goods stores. i will for sure be doing my firearm related shopping here from now on, and i suggest you consider give this crew a chance.
Needed help getting an optic today. Mike was a huge help showing me the different options and explaining the benefits of each. He was very patient, giving me tons of time to ask questions and handle them for comparison. Was very happy with my selection and walked away with a positive experience. Will definitely be back!
Incredibly detailed and helpful. Im very new to guns and how they work and these guys helped me learn so much about pistols. I love the energy and just how down to earth all the employees are. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is learning or experienced. Justin, Mike, Nick are very awesome and helped me learn so much about pistols.
I really love these awesome group of guys. When entering the door, Im always greeted like they are happy to see me, and this makes be feel welcomed and coming back again and again! I love spending money here when I can! I plan many many more trips here in the future. Thank you, Gents!
Extremely knowledgeable and helpful staff. Theyll listen to your needs and guide you through the process to ensure that youre happy with your current and future purchases
I have bought a few guns from here over the past month. Their sales team is extremely friendly and knowledgeable on their inventory. During the time I was in the store, they had a decent inventory of rifles, shotguns, handguns, and ammo considering this was during the COVID panic buying period. The people who helped me out was the owner Pavel, Jesse, Jake, Justin and Nick. I highly recommend this store and am going to continue to do business with them.
Guys at CGE are always the best. Purchased three guns from them over my life and theyve always gone above and beyond for me.
Great ShopTeam knows what they are doing. Well versed and experienced at all levels in the multiple range of equipment they carry.Best source for variety of cal compliant rifles.Fair pricing.There’s a reason people line-up at their front door.Very customer oriented and give you the time deserved when making a purchase selection/s.Jesse is “The Man”!Greg W
I did a ppt and was shopping for my first AR here. this place went above an beyond in customer service. Even installed upgraded parts an showed me the basics. Being my first AR I had a ton of questions an they answered every one. Very patient never rushed me. The entire staff was very professional they all Had smiles and the atmosphere reflected their attitude. Was a pleasure doing business here an I have made this my primary gun store now. This is the first gun store I’ve given full stars. Well done.-Josh.
One of the best store with the most experienced staff, with the best customer service and with the best firearms collection.
This shop is awesome. Ain’t going to find selection or knowledgeable staff as Good as what these guys got going on here. Drove all the way from Sacramento to give them my business.
Called regarding purchasing AR 15.Courteous, professional, answered all my questions. I highly recommend you contact this dealer prior to purchasing any ammo or firearm as it will save you a lot and grief. They not only sell but they also educate. They are located in Cordelia but well worth the drive. Will be purchasing a Colt platform AR 15 when available. Drove by and talked to Vince, took time to fully explain the AR 15 to me. Answered all my questions, I learned a lot about the gun. It may be more than I need but thanks to Vince for his honesty. Clean store, very safe as that practice all covid procedures.
Justin is the best! All the guys are super helpful and down to earth. Highly recommend!
The workers here are relaxed as heck, everytime I walk in it feels like Im meeting old friends again. Very professional and knowledgeable
Initially very unimpressed, there was a long wait once I got in the store and no guidance or communication from staff but......once I was helped communication was good and service was great. Store staff saw my initial google review which I’m now revising and he followed me outside to talk about what my issue was and why I wrote the review. I explained my issues and he told me he would work on it with the staff.I was extremely impressed and prompted me to revise my review. I was NOT going to be a return customer and now I will for sure.
Super friendly and funny workers. And they guy who checked me out had a bad a$$ mustache
I have been a customer at CGE for several years now. This review is long overdue. The Crew at CGE can take care of you no matter what kind of firearms you are looking for. From the everyday and the ordinary to the rare and hard to find. Over that time I have had many interactions with Jesse and Nick. They have always been professional and very helpful. Even to the point of calling me when an item that I am interested in becomes available. Eric and Pavel have always been a pleasure to deal with during my purchases. Pavel and Eric both have taken the time to source scarce and rare items for me. The Crew at CGE has taken the time to get to know what I like and what I am looking for. I am greeted when I walk through the door and treated with respect. This is a business that caters to the wants and needs of the customer. I highly recommend CGE .
They had hard to find parts. Very knowledgeable and they have a large selection!!!
Awesome service and awesome products!! Been going year for a few years and never disappoints!
Went to CGE for a rifle Ive wanted for over a year. Have been an avid pistol shooter, but want to begin training with an AR rifle platform. The entire staff was friendly, knowledgable, upbeat and professional. I admitted that while having experience with some firearms, this would be my first AR style rifle. Jesse not only answered all my questions cheerfully and directly, but provided a detailed description of safe handling, operation, takedown and various attributes of the weapon. It was a pleasure doing business with the team at CGE, and I look forward to my next visit! Thanks again guys for your time and expertise!
Great experience buying my first AR15 from them I didn’t get their names but the three gentleman in the front counter all helped me out and made my experience comfortable and easy especially since it’s annoying buying firearms in California they made the process great, I’ll definitely be back to buy more firearms and ammo from them, Check them out they have a great selection
Smooth process for buying a firearm. Knowledgeable and zealous staff. Worth the drive from Sacramento.
These guys are AMAZING. Excellent staff and easy communication. Get all of your California legal guns, parts, supplies and more from them. Lots of excellent information on their site and a knowledgeable staff when you need to figure out the Cali crazy laws. And they are located in California!
My experience was so bad I’m writing my first ever google review. I ordered a zastava AK from these guys roughly two months ago. I was told it’d be shipped within 2-4 weeks. I can’t get ahold of anyone when I call the store and whenever I do they just tell me “it’s been a crazy few weeks we should have it out shortly”. Why accept the orders if you can’t fill them? I’m not sure how their in-person store experience is but I definitely do not recommend ordering a firearm to be shipped through FFL from these guys. It’s really unbelievable.
Ive been doing business with these guys since they had a shop in Woodland sevral years ago. I cant say enough good things about them. They are honest and very knowledgeable. They seem to have great relationships with all of the major manufacturers. They are great salesmen and thats what sets them apart from most shops. Their customer service is second to none. Even in crazy panic buying times like these, when people are emptying the stores and stock is hard to find. These guys try their hardest to get you what you need. The bad reviews Ive seen on here are from people who do not understand what is happening to the market right now. It is overwhelmed and product is really hard to get a hold of but I know that they are doing their best to get products in stock for you. Thank you Cordelia Gun Exchange!-John Centers
Good people. Selection is ok, considering the plandemic. Parts inventory is pretty weak. They could use a lot more AR parts. Markup can be rough sometimes, but thats the cost of living in a not so free state.
Good shop and still has inventory despite all the madness. Helpful staff doing their best to get everyone in and out quickly.
Even when there were factors like the holidays and covid to worry about, I was able to get my rifle shipped and transferred in a timely manner. Staff was extremely friendly and informative over text, and they went out on their own to make sure my firearm would reach me in time.
Great local business. Highly recommend.
After spending almost 1000 dollars on his first firearm a glock 19 my son took his gun to the range only to find out the firing pin had been replaced wit the wrong one the gun also significant ware .he was told they cannot help him he needs to send it in to glockthis is not the store to shop at if your gun is for self protection
The guys at this store are knowledgeable, friendly, and will look out for your money. This place can get weapons you may not see at many other stores.Since the craziness with Corona, their stock is low and there are long wait lines, but these guys are constantly busy and working hard.
Garrett helped me and it was top rated customer service. They’re all chill, respectful, and specific on the process. 100% recommend coming here to purchase. Thanks, Garrett! Keep up the excellent service
Awful experience if you come from out of town, completely unfair the way they “line” up customers. Basically there’s just a list hanging up outside so anyone who lives close can come sign up as early as 10 am, but the store doesn’t open until 1 pm right now. I drove an hour and a half to get there and when I arrived at 2pm they were still working on customers that had signed up at 10 am. So basically they want you to wait 2-6 hours to get into the store. Of course you could always get your firearm shipped to an ffl but with all the recent gun and ammo thefts during transit I wouldn’t trust it.
If youre looking to purchase a firearm. Cordelia is the place in Nor-Cal. I ordered online and it was a very pleasant experience. Big shout out to Eric. He helped me with my order for the Galil Ace 5.56 and with all questions that I had when I DMd him on Instagram. So if thats any indication of how they are at their store. Then their customer service is tip notch in my book. They have a great stock of pistols, hard to get rifles, and accessories. Thank you to the Cordelia fam for everything. And a very big thanks to Eric with helping with my purchase and information.
Jesse has been a great help and as a new gun owner, has helped me every step of the way.If you do plan on going on a Saturday, I suggest to show up early.Demand for guns has increased this past year and because of COVID, they only allow a certain amount of people in the store at a time depending on the amount of staff. Waits can be hours long so plan accordingly.
These guys are great! It’s not their fault the lines are long. It’s not their fault there’s restrictions. Appreciate the friendly service they provide! Thanks guys for your help!
Awesome experience. Yes you will have to wait, worth it just to learn and talk shop. Yes they answer phones, trust me, Ive seen it. So keep in mind It is California, and Covid times, waiting is to be expected. So ignore the one guy who posted the 1 star review below.YES they have stock, cool exotic arms, rare LEO and MIL-Spec stuff around the shop. Its a total blast (see what I did there)to just look around the walls. And Yes they can do transfers. Yes you can still find amazing deals on CA compliment arms on their website if you get your timing right. Yes they have new staff who is still training- and the new staff is quickly improving, so be patient. As for the sign up sheet outside around 11 each am; it is getting better. And there is talk of an automated appointment and call back feature on the site.Support a great shop, plan for the challenge of signups, dont be grumpy (bring snacks and a good attitude, they offer water bottles to those in line)about waiting and give them a visit!
Had a little trouble with shipping time. But explained and made right. Great customer service.
Phone number doesn’t work
One of the better places for AR components and parts. Its the only place within 75 miles Ive seen the Doublestar Ace Skeleton stock besides the internet... which I bought at a fair price... they have Spikes stripped upper receivers and other spikes components which are some of my favorites, WMD BCGs and Geissele triggers that are also on the top of my list. Unfortunately I dont buy my guns here. Its been my experience when looking at guns(and sometimes components and Optics) its like youre transported to a used car lot and the salesman pressures you to buy it and sometimes will hype the gun like you may never see it again if you dont buy it today..... but, I will say that if you buy several components they will give you a package deal which is a good thing. So my rating is solely based on buying AR components.
Very impressed with their service and how they have handled these interesting times.
Jesse is always great to deal with. Any questions to ask he has the answers. Personally haven’t had any issues with this great place to buy guns ammo or accessories.
Best gun store in the bay area. I would give CGE 10 out of 5 stars if I could. CGE has access to the best CA compliant firearms at the best prices. I dont mind at all driving up an hour from Daly City to see inventory, DROS, and do pick-up. Unlike other stores, CGE answers my questions about their inventory and availability of stock. They can pre-order items also. Other gun stores wont answer my questions about inventory and would instead prefer that I wait in a long line for several hours to see uncertain stock. Based on my experience, CGE has the best firearm and ammo stock in the bay area during the COVID-19 epidemic. Other gun stores do not have the firearms that CGE has in stock. Yes, there is a line but it is worth waiting in line. The reasons for the lines are two-fold. First, CGE has the guns and ammo that you need. Stores that sell popular items attract customers. The second reason which is out of CGEs control is that CA has wrongheadedly enacted unconstitutional, anti-2a gun restrictions like the ten-day wait and the one handgun (soon one-gun-a-month) law that force customers to make multiple in-person trips to gun stores to complete a single purchase. One way to shorten lines is to stop supporting gun restriction laws and stop voting for disingenuous politicians who support gun restriction laws.
On April 18th I placed an order through their website and subsequently sent an email to check on shipping times since theres no mention of how long it might take on their site aside from a vague fast shipping! claim. They responded to say it would be around 3 weeks. Its now June 9th and they have ignored all email and phone-based attempts to get an update on where my product is. I had to drive out to the location and wait for an hour to get any sort of answer, which turned out to be your gun is here and we just didnt tell you for a month. Their refund policy is such trash that its still a better option for me to continue waiting, so my only recourse (and my strong recommendation to anyone considering doing business with this place) is to never buy from them again, and to spread the word about their terrible business practices so others can learn from my mistake.
Excellent customer service and very knowledgeable staff. Pretty decent selection for a small local shop. Wait times are a bit long at peak times but once you to the front of the line the staff is very helpful and process you as quick as possible so its understandable
Nice store with a lot of choices for custom builder, decent selection of pistol and rifle. Fair pricing. Staff is courteous (the time I went there) and not pressuring for a sale. Layout is strange since the store is in length. Definitely recommend it specially for 80%.
Very good shop. Knowledgeable staff. Great inventory. BUT. Lines are always out the door and you should expect to be there for a while, even if you are not buying a firearm. They definitely need to hire more people. Otherwise - good experience.
Do not order nothing from this place its been two months and never recieved my item I left many emails no responce dont anwser phoneif they get handle the business they shouldnt be there
Super helpful very willing and able to assist with any gun related questions. (Even the supid ones) lol overall 10 out of 10 for a local small shop very wide variety.
Do not buy firearms from this place. Eric the manager or whatever he is and his employees have the worst customer service. They do not answer call, emails or call back to their customers and when they do its already been about three days or more. I had purchased a firearm from them and after nearly a month they still had not shipped out the firearm and gave no reasons to the delay even though the firearm was in stock when purchased. These guys dont know what they are doing and are not helpful at all. Refrain from purchasing items from them as its just going to cause you headches and frustration. I wanted to give these guys a chance eapecially since they are a company located in California which has aome of the strictest gun laws in the country. However, their unprofessionalism and lack of support for their customers gave me enough evidence that they dont care about their customers. Do not waste your time and money on this place.
By far the best gun shop I have been to. Ever since my first visit this is the only gun shop I will go to, I have one right up the street from me but Id rather make the extra 25 minute commute to Cordelia Gun Exchange. Their prices are very fair, have a huge variety and selection and the staff is very prompt and helpful. Jesse is the man. If you havent visited this gun shop yet I highly recommend you do, you will not be disappointed.
I purchased my first gun here about one year ago. I had a very specific shotgun I wanted and they were able to find it for me. Staff was friendly and extremely helpful. Great place to go for your first firearm.
Awesome little gun shop, not a very big selection normally because of the smaller store front, but the employees say they are happy to order anything you are looking to purchase as long as it is CA compliant. Guns are well priced, often a little under than what youll find at the other local stores. I have purchased two firearms from here as well as other firearm accessories, and will happily continue to do so.
Really nice place to do a private party between Sacramento and east bay. everyone was very friendly even though it was only a ppt and we were in and out in twenty minutes on a Saturday. They had a nice selection of firearms and parts and the prices seemed typical.
Awesome store with some hard to find stuff. Knowledgeable and friendly staff excited about what they do. I bought two guns from them already and will be back.
Great customer service for online orders. Always super fast response.
Good selection of firearms, had what I wanted in stock at a lower price that competitors. Staff was great, very personable.
The gun I was looking for was out of stock. I wish that I ordered online before going there and waiting 30 minutes in line only to find out theres a national shortage
Its a fantastic local shop with great prices, great customer service, very knowledgeable staff, and a great selection, despite Californias ridiculous laws. I bought my AR-15 and my CZ97B there recently.
These guys are polite, non judgemental, reasonable prices and answered all my dumb questions with no sarcasm or eye rolling. Much better then the other local stores. A bit out of the way but in my opinion worth the drive.
I buy all my guns from there. They know everything about guns, Give you a honest opinion, and it is a comfortable environment for a new or experienced shooter. Highly recommended
Eric and the Tall Guy (sorry, Sir, I forgot your name) black hair are always helpful. They’re not those guys on other gun stores who just too much testosterone in their body.
My favorite gun store in the Bay Area
Not a bad place and they are not crooks with prices, however these are not the best prices available but the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly there selection is pretty good as well. I would give it a 5 star if you got the money its a good place to shop
For the novice, gun stores can be intimidating... theres so much that you dont know and often, you dont even know what you dont know. Having already made purchases at two other local shops, I wandered into CDE on a lark. After having been told at other shops that it wasnt possible to get what I was seeking, I was surprised to see it prominently displayed on the wall. With this first and each subsequent visit, Kyle and Jesse have patiently answered all of my questions, made recommendations, presented options. If youre looking for a weapon and want to know your options, and be treated with respect and consideration, Cordelia Gun Exchange is the place.
Great place, with exceptional staff extremely knowledgeable on all types of fire arms, very current on laws and regulations.... great place
Friendly helpful staff, very convenient to Napa, prices are very reasonable, this is a small business so not a lot of inventory to select from like a big box sporting goods store BUT you can order any firearm that is CA compliant and get it in a reasonable time at a good price out the door. Wilson was a great salesman!
Pavel, Eric, John, and Jessie are super nice and very knowledgeable. They often have rifles you cant find at other shops like the SCAR17s and FN PS90. This is THE place to go for rifles.
Friendly and comforting staff, very professional, nice range of product. Id love to see more used stuff that is more wallet friendly, but that doesnt take away from this great store.
Seriously the best customer service Ive ever had at a gun shop. They are in no way condescending and they are very helpful.
Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Bought my ccw gun here. Large selection and great prices.
$75 transfer fee! Tripple what other FFL charges.
I stopped by Cordelia Gun Exchange and was floored at their knowledge and customer service. The store gives you a high-end atmosphere while giving you a selection of high-end and affordable firearms.
I’ve been in their shop twice to order a rifle. People keep coming in after me to pick up guns . He calls them by name and has their guns brought out ahead of people waiting to order. I left today and won’t be back. I’ll find a shop that can manage their time better. Less Talk
These guys take the time to talk with you about what youre looking for and genuinely enjoy it. Great place for a first-time buyer 👍🏼
Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Helped me find the rifle Id been researching for a few months for a great price!
I went in to see if they have a particular model rifle. They didnt have it, but ordered it for a supprisingly low price. Also, if you buy a gun through them, it includes DROS and fees. Most other places charge extra for that. The sales staff is top notch, I recommend these guys to everyone who wants to buy a new gun.
Great gun shop good people
They always answer all questions and help me out with no problems love this place
Top notch gun shop, knowledgeable, friendly, decent selection of parts that no other shops in the area carry. Good selection of cool rifles, Steyr Aug, HK, Galil, cobalt, big selection of 1911s as well, belt fed fun stuff also.
Mostly always busy but a great crew every time Ive been there
Amazing customer service!!! Very knowledgeable staffs. Very friendly!
Great place friendly people and I recommend Jesse.
Bought a sigsauer 45 caliber from the shop five years ago I finally shot it but the front sight the dovetail was not in line I try to call them up to have it fixed but good with no avail they can ‘t help me, just very disappointed I don’t think I’ll come back to this gun shop ever, just check your your guns when you buy it never know what you can get they won’t help you afterwards .I have lots of guns so I’ve never fired it until just recently .👎
Visited this store back in May. Selection was ok but somewhat limited. There were only two employees and roughly 6 of us customers. There was a man attempting to make a purchase at the counter and he had obviously been there a while as he was rather irratible. Realizing it would probably be sometime before I was able to actually talk to one of the 2 salesmen, I attempted to chat some with one of the other customers. A might be expected of gun owners in an anit-gun state, we began talking about the many rules and regulations CA has passed lately. I expressed my disapproval of said laws. Thats when it became immediately clear that this is not the gun store for me....: After not so much as merely acknowledging my presence in his store, the minute I have a single gripe about how my current address does not match the one on my drivers license, suddenly the employee who formerly was devoted selling a gun, takes a second out of his busy life to inform me rather harshly that this is California, get used to it! I guess thats what you get when you go to a store whos whole claim to fame is specializng in CA legal firearms.
Very cool selection. The staff is helpful and friendly.
Not a bad place. Lot of accessories and bulk ammo available.
Good selection. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Decent selection of weapons. Some of the staff are kinda rude just my opinion though.
Excellent service and very knowledgeable.
Friendly staff.Great selection.
