Was just there to purchase and everyone there made the process very smooth. Quickly in and quickly out with the right pistol for my needs. The gentlemen I worked with made the purchase very professional and gave me several options to chose from. I will definitely be coming back for future firearm needs. I highly recommend for everyone to come here! Thanks for everything!
Was referred by a friend to go there and what a referral! Everyone there is awesome, friendly, very knowledgeable and make you feel like family. Purchased many items from there and will not go anywhere else. Best place to go and you will not be disappointed!
Friendly, knowledgeable and professional has brought me back.I found this store when looking for a quick stop for some ammo while on my way to Hodge Rd. It has now become my first stop for ammo, FFL transfers and firearms. Freddy is down to earth and always ready to help. I’ve taken my children with me a couple of times and he’s made a lasting impression on them as well. A family friendly place that can help with all of your ammunition, firearm and FFL transfer needs. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Amazing Place. More inventory then anywhere Ive seen or been especially on AR builds and stuff. Super Knowledgeable.10 Star
Best gun purchasing experience, Freddy even taught me how to properly hold my gun and shoot with both eyes open, I’m right handed but left eye dominate. Plus so many more tips. This place is loaded with awesome supplies.
Went into the store with my buddy and came out with a Medford Knife! Freddy was the gentlemen who mentioned them and showed me one he had. After chatting with him, he showed me some of the ones they just received and I was sold. Freddy was super knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. Thanks Freddy for the recommendation and explanations!
Bought Several Firearms from here and even did a private party transfer. Always have received great customer service. When Turners refused to order me a firearm simply cause they dont have it on their shelf... Express Gun Locker got it for me without any problems. Thank You!!!
Might as well be called “Freddy’s”.While there may be quite a line at times, it’s always well worth the wait. I personally have always dealt w Mr. Frederick specifically; but that’s just because he’s an absolute daisy. Any questions you may have are always answered with knowledge and reason through firsthand experience and it’s certainly a “no dumb questions” environment. Safe handling of firearms at all times plus a diverse selection of knives and gear make for honestly the best gun shop in the high desert, maybe even the world...
I went in to buy a rifle and was given plenty of good options from their inventory. Being a first time buyer, I wasn’t 100% sure what my best option would be, but Freddy provided excellent customer service. He helped an indecisive buyer feel comfortable throughout the whole process and I walked away with no regrets, nor feeling pressured into buying at all. I will be going here from on.
Honestly the best service around, really friendly and helpful. Came in to buy my first pistol and they made process as smooth as ever. Highly recommend checking Express Gun Locker out.
GO SEE FRED! He was SO helpful and very patient. He explained everything so clearly and precisely. My mother-in-law came along as well and she felt comfortable. He gave her an awesome tutorial on handguns and gave her peace of mind. He is such a gentleman. We will definitely be recommending more family there.
Been in a few times for my firearm needs and if they dont have what youre looking for they will most certainly get it for you. Went in for a trigger for my build and we spoke about different options and upgrades I can do for when that time comes. Yeah it make get packed n busy but that cause they dont try to sell you stuff n rush you out, theyll actually sit there and talk about the firearm or parts youre looking for . Didnt feel pressured into buying something i didnt want or need like most other places Ive gone to. A bit of a mark up on the price but when you take into consideration the shipping and time ..well worth it .. been waiting on a trigger for about a month from a place and they had it there for about $10 more . Will definitely be going back and recommending this place
Rick made us feel very comfortable asking questions and explaining the gun to my wife and myself. The store has a very welcoming vibe and you are never made to feel like you are bothering them with questions.We were in there for about an hour purchasing a handgun, which is the quickest time Ive experienced out of other places that Ive gone.They didnt have a huge selection of inventory, but thats typically the case anywhere you go now a days.We will DEFINITELY be back again.Thank you Rick for your great customer service.
Can’t even ask these people that work here a simple question. They act like they can’t be bothered. Welp guess what I’ll take my business to somewhere that will Appreciate it.
This is the most knowledgeable gun shops in the high desert. They answered all my questions and were helpful in directing me to the right gun. They are also very reasonable on pricing below the average price. I went in with a budget for a hand gun and still had money left over.
Extremely friendly staff and very knowledgeable with great prices to boot. Had the chance to work with Freddie regarding a purchase, although it wasn’t in stock at the time he kept me updated until day of purchase. On pick up day he took the time to run me through a couple things so I was more informed, they treat you like family here, they do not rush you, they do not upsell, and are very straightforward from beginning to end. The wait time to be helped maybe long but only because they give a lot of time and attention to each and every single customer in the store, you’ll get the same treatment when it’s your turn to be helped. Will be making all my future firearm needs here, they have a customer for life.
I just moved to the high desert and started coming to express gun locker so far its been fair for me and they help me every single time with what I needed there costumer service is fair and what I expected being it is a gun store not retail so far its been good and for FFL TRANSFERS they been great and I aslo got my first AR-15 from them if you are looking for right away service Im sorry but you have to waite your turn in line or till they ask you if you need help is nothing wrong with that its a great store to come and check out and see what they have instock thank you to all the employees for the help.....
It was my First time purchasing a firearm. Fred helped me out. He was patient with my questions and helped me like I was family. Both my parents have purchased firearms from Express gun locker and recommended I did the same. Im really glad I listened. I dont see myself buying anywhere else. Great experience. Thank you again for your service!
My wife and I came in here to renew and apply for fire arm license. We both passed. The staff was great and helpful great conversation starters. Would definitely recommend Express Gun Locker
To be honest, the Website and also the Storefront isnt the nicest one. Walk-in, and you wont be disappointed. You will find charming Folks with tons of Knowledge and a massive selection of Firearms, Parts, Accessories, and also Reloading gadgets. I always got good deals on my needs. The leading source for Firearms in the high desert.
They have AR parts and some guns and items, the IG is crock they’re not that stock up, they think there the only gun store in High Desert they over price and the customer service is rude and they looked annoyed to be asked questions or buy from them I rather order my stuff online off Palmetto State Armory.comOr go elsewhere they turner in to Turners #2 in the High Desert.If you’re desperate this is the prefect spot for you.
So I go into buy a firearm and I’m not even greeted by this old man! Everyone in there had a mean depressed look on their face. Every employee behind the counter has a huge ego trip just because they are carrying a firearm on their old hips behind the counter!Your employee MELISSA smokes every 2 minutes and can’t even help out customers and than is smoking right at the entrance door! Hey, if you want cancer, than keep smoking! But as for me, I don’t, so stop smoking in the entrance area!And than as I’m purchasing a firearm your employee starts the big ol subject on politics! First off I’m here for business! I don’t give one care about politics!
The BEST gun shop in the high desert!Best place for FFL transfers and firearm purchases. Dont waste your time with 7th st or anywhere else. These guys are the only shop with going to.
Place is everything a gun store should be. BIG ROB must be ignorant if he thinks the instagram posts from a Monday will be the same stock as a friday. I wont go anywhere else. I also bought ammo for my Glock for 50% less than any online or other store. 5 Star in my book.
Never have 9mm ammo. Long waiting in line. And a unnoticeable RED SIGN that’s supposed to tell you what they have is yeah, not noticeable so just ask the rude lady inside better. Atleast she’ll call you sweetie. Ha never back again.
You have to wait in line here, but make no mistake, it’s worth it. Rick and Freddy are very helpful and patient with the sale and requirements of firearms. The storefront is unassuming yet welcoming. Go right in and you’ll be happy that you did. Highly recommend!
Excellent customer service at this store. They had a long line of people waiting to be helped. I was surprised how fast the line progressed. They dont rush you theyre polite and professional. I purchased a sig from this store. I asked several questions before purchasing. Rick was patient and answered all of my questions. I highly recommend purchasing your firearm from gun locker.
Fred was very helpful, knowledgeable and oh by the way a 19D!!!!! Thank you for the service you guys provided!! Will definitely be a returning customer!! Thanks!!
Great store, really nice people, and good competitive prices
First off, Id like to express my appreciation for these folks accommodating as many of their customers in a professional and friendly manner during a chaotic time in our country. The staff is very knowledgeable and honest about their firearms and products. They are all willing to take time to educate and help you with your purchases and investments. For those of you looking for an alternate business to support with a great staff, the Gun Locker is definitely your place. Prices are very affordable and competitive. They will always have my business before anyone else! Thank you so much Gun Locker! -CH
These folks are the best! They go out of their way to make business pleasant and enjoyable. They will make things right for all of their customers!! Live these folks!!!
Great place for any first time or experienced buyer. The staff is extremely courteous and helpful. My first time here the entire staff made me feel comfortable and provided me with the knowledge I needed in order to make the purchase that was suitable for myself. Prices are great as well. I definitely recommend checking them out.
Great shop. Great customer service. Highly recommended to anyone for all your needs. Theyre knowledgeable. They take there time with each customer and thats worth the wait in line. Ive been coming here since Ive moved to the high desert 2 years ago. Rick and Fred are great. Theyre the ones you wanna speak too. But so is the other nice lady that works there (sorry dont know her name) shes great too. A++ 5 stars check them out you wont regret it
They dont seem like they take well to new customers. Went there to see about buying a pistol for work and walked feeling like an idiot for considering this place.
This is by far the best gun store ive been too!!! These guys know there stuff!! First time i buy from them and they processed everything with ease! Freddy was very good help and made my transaction simple i highly recommend the gun locker!!
The BEST!!!! Great customer service . Everyone here is very knowledgeable and helpful. I appreciate their patience and education that they provide each and every time Ive been there.
So I have to say that this is the most helpful, friendliest gun store Ive been too. They know their stuff and actually care about their customers. If you need any guns, ammo or accesories then Id recommend this place in a heartbeat. Also its a local family owned store so thats another reason to support them.
This is a great place with great people. I come all the way from the I.E. because I have always been taken care of here. Easily worth the drive.
Had a great experience over here. Will come back again.
No better place to buy. Everyone there is friendly, knowledgeable, and wanting to help you in all your needs. Great service and pricing.
Such a great place to get your gun goodies! They really take time with you and make sure you understand what youre getting ....I didnt feel like a number here like other places.....thank you gun locker!
If you think you have to go to a big box gun store to get a good price, youre wrong. The Gun Locker not only has great competitive prices, but their staff is very knowledgeable. Stop feeding corporate America and support local business.
Efficient and knowledgeable. No BS. Enjoy coming here.
Put the correct hours of operation please
Thank you for making the purchasing process a pleasant experience. When I purchase my next firearm, it will definitely be through Express Gun Locker.
This place was great. My first time there and had a great experience. A much better alternative to the take a number and wait way of buying at Turners. Freddie and Rick were friendly and helpful. Would recommend them to anyone!!
Well taken care of while i was there, the employees where helpful and very informative even in the midst of a crisis they made me feel at ease while i was in their store
Great product knowledge, always very helpful and respectful. All my gun purchase transactions went smooth. For LE I recommend this place they will take care of you!!
Very good customer service. Easy transaction and very knowledgeable staff.
Very nice and Professional people! Good pricing for my purchases and heard them educating another about the process with no tough guy attitude.Will be purchasing from here again
Extremely rude individual! Wouldn’t waste my time giving any business to these guys. My guess is they couldn’t care less.
The staff is very helpful, very knowledgeable, and friendly. At times they get busy but they will address you even while they are helping someone. Every time I go in they have plenty of stock on ammo. The prices are reasonably priced. I inform anyone I meet to go here first. In my opinion the best in the high desert. I am not saying they honor other places price but my firearm was a little more and they adjusted to the price. They do dont force the sell and have a option to put some down and give you a month to finish but you cant pick up till you pay off.
I went to this place for the first time on Tuesday to get my scope properly mounted. I waited in line for an hour and a half just to be told that they were not doing gunsmith until next week. Very disappointed. Wont be coming back in the future
Great job guys! Tough to get a review out of me but I felt it was necessary. These guys hustled to take care of crowd and seemed to pull it off. Either way Im happy and will go back. Thanks Steve for helping out getting me with Rick and Haley.
Great customer service. They actually care about their customers. Their selection is huge!
Great customer services, staff very helpful with answering questions, and great prices.
I am extremely disappointed with one of the employees. He clearly has not been train/educated on requirement for purchase of ammo. Most likely new employee that has less than 7 month of experience, he seemed confident as he was misleading customers. Well, I guess his Military and Postal Office previous experience payed off. I wasted my time of 1 and 20 minutes of standing in line. He told me that he is ...we cant sell you ammo because you need a Driver License and ID is not going to work... And that is Fake News! So instead of trying to argue and cause I commotion and disturbance and big seen, I just went where they know their laws and regulation. I asked the employee that was assisting me multiple time hoping that one of other employees would hear his misleading statement and correct him. But employee to my left made eye contact with me and ignore the situation. Maybe he didnt want him to look bad, I can only speculate. And you might say, that I should of said something.... Well, before I was going to take my business to a different store, he made a loud announcement that made me uncomfortable. ...if your just got inline, you must have a Driver License and not ID (California Identification Card) to make any any fire arm purchase or ammunition...if you have any question ask one of romming worker and they will do their best to facilitate... So I went to local Wal-Mart and waited 3 minutes and got my 12 gauge with no hostel and long wait. I do like to support my local stores, but this is just plain unprofessional and wasting my time in attempt of purchasing overprice ammo. Department Manager of Wal-Mart said, ...you shouldt have any problems with State issued ID as long as you own a fire arm... According to California DOJ ---Starting July 1, 2019, if you purchase ammunition and/or firearms you will be able to use a California Real ID or any other California driver license or ID as long as it does not say “Federal Limits Apply.”--- So, if you have ID that doesnt states Federal Limit Apply, your all set and go somewhere else or bring a book of California Department of Justice and have a group discussion! Sorry, I know this was long. Hope this helps someone.
Thank you, to both the ladies and gentle men at Express Gun Locker....Top notch service and respectable prices.
My go to place to buy guns. Staff is always friendly and helpful. They have a good selection of guns, ammo, and accessories and if they dont have what you want then they can get it for you.
The guys behind the gun counter have little to no knowledge on guns, the store prices are high and they can be rude. For example, ammo, targets, magazines and other shooting gear can be found much cheaper at wall mart or online. If anyone wants to buy anything from this store i would recommend to compare prices with turners, bass pro shop and ammo brothers if looking for a gun you will probably save at least 12 to 25 percent or for ammo wall mart has the best deals.
What a great group of people. Was looking at several guns and even though they were busy they took time to show me several different gun types and knew enough about each gun to help me make a decision. I highly recommend them for all your gun sporting needs. They also have hard to find ammo and sort of limit the sales to spread it around but dont gouge...neat. Also have tons of accessories and the connected pawn shop has a ton of stuff in it. Pretty neat looking stuff as I saw it. Highly recommend Express Gun Locker.
The employee that was explaining the different type of guns was very helpful. He also explained things in a way easy to understand. Great shop
Awesome experience. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely will be a customer for life. Thank you!!!!
Thank you, very knowledgble people, and great customer service
I Had bought ammo from them but they had given me the wrong ammo then refuse to correct the problem. While I was there I observe them trying to steal a pistol from an elderly gentleman. These people are not to be trusted. I do not recommend Them and advise to stay away from their place of business.
I have bought several pieces here. They are clearly the most knowledgeable in the desert. They will not answer questions they dont know the answer to but will find a co-worker that knows. Between the 4 folks I have talked to they have covered all the questions I have asked and I had lots. As for recent comments on price, its a buyers responsibility to know what they should pay and a business responsibility to profit. So, do your homework, dont be a jerk and you will pay the right price.
This place is the best. All the faculty there are friendly and all the staff are knowledgeable on all the weapons there. They dont push you into buying something you dont need or want. This is the only place I go to when I need something for weapon.
Great customer service, the cheapest place to obtain a gun in the high desert .Service is always good. It does get busy time to time but thats natural. Talk to Rick he knows just about everything you need to know for Ppe and saftey etc.
These guys are awesome. My dad whos retired law enforcement bought a Glock 43 from here before he retired. I had them put night sights on my Glock 42 and they were done in 10 minutes and it looked great. Excellent service!
The guys behind the counter were awesome. Very helpful and know there stuff. Great selection of guns and accessories. I would differently recommend to anyone wanting to buy gun or anyone wanting to know about guns!
Without a doubt the best gun store in the High Desert or down the hill. Exceptional ownership and staff. Great atmosphere you cannot go wrong.
Me and my wife went in just too look around and ended up spend a ton of money lol very nice staff and extremely helpful. They are very patient with all of our question. We even got to meet with the people from the show Barter Kings all in all it was a great experiences
We were screwed over by Turners outdoor. Some one suggested we check out Express Gun Locker. We were very pleased with the customer service. They were very helpful and explained all the gun products we bought with great detail.
The people that own this place are always super helpful. They will answer any of your questions and are extremely knowledgeable 😊
Love this place, great ppl, amazing prices. overall A+++. Freddie is the best there is friendly, respectful, and super knowledgeable. Forget going to Turners the McDonalds of the gun world.
Top knotch is all I can say. well maintained, great people. I recommend all civilians and agents to do business here... thank you very much Rick
Very helpful and knowledgeable. I’ll be shopping here from now on.
I waited forever outside in the sun. Multiple people who came after me were let in before me. Horrible service
Great staff ...has almost everything you need and if they dont have it they will order it for you
Awesome helpful staff, very professional.
Very nice shop with knowledgeable employees. I left my XD9 to get some TFO sights pushed. Ended up getting it back cleaned beautifully and I was very happy.
Military friendly! I went here after dealing with the rude owner at High Desert Guns and Ammo. I dealt with two different guys. The first guys was honest about saying that he was new and wanted to get someone more experienced to help me. The other guy came over answered all my questions and got my paperwork done withing about a half hour. He even typed all my paperwork instead of making me wright it out. I know not everyone has good experiences but I did.
This place is great. They are friendly and very reasonable. Highly recommend.
Had a great experience today...Thanks for working so hard! See you soon!
Went there to inquire about sight instalation. Phil was very helpful and courteous. Even while already helping a customer he did everything to answer any questions while his customer was taking a test.
I came to gun locker for the first time today. I can say that I must have past this place hundreds of times. Honestly a hidden gem in the HD. A much more personable experience, I was immediately greeted and asked if I needed help. Freddy helped my find and order exactly what I was looking for. A far cry from turners or dicks where I stood staring at some guys for head for 20 minutes waiting to buy ammo. They have a wide variety of ammo, supplies and a great place for relaoders.
Top Shelf. Wouldnt go anywhere else. I drive from Rancho to go here. I like the family feel and the service.
Not bad at all. A great alternative to the take-a-number hell that is Turners.
Great service got a super great deal on ar 15 had all the parts i needed if you dont like this place its you because these guys are knowledgeable and just plain nice best gun shop in southern California
Best gun store in the victor valley. Knowledgeable, couteous, and they sell black rifle coffee. If thats not true American, then I dont know what is. They sell quality parts and quality firearms. If i could rate them higher, i would...
I went there for the first time I heard about it from someone at a sporting goods store I didnt buy but they have a pretty good selection I am going back again today im homeing in on the gun I want so I have a few questions! Staff was knowledgeable! Some stores will let one gun out at a time they let me have three to compare!! If I buy from them and it goes good Ill move it up to 5 stars!!
Great customer service, and great prices. By far the best in the high desert.
I love this place so much I ended up buying the shirt. Always great deals always great prices
First went in 2016 for questions... I bought exactly what I needed a few months later, and I keep recommending them to anyone who wants to buy or learn more.
I am very dissapointed to have ever purchase a gun from this store. I purchase a hi point c9 the seller says its brand new. After I pick up the gun and disassemble it. The gun was greasy and dirty. So that means someone had already fired this pistol. Never again I will purchase something from here.
Only way i cant ask a question. I want to buy a gun and take a test to get my liscense can i do it here? And what would i need to bring ?
Great store lots of good I mean really good stuff, I bought a compact 1911 from them, they were very polite, and even cracked a few jokes while I was waiting . I will buy from here again for sure
Express gun locker is definitely one of the best gun shops Ive ever been to by far great service and staff is just excellent theyre friendly and so helpful
