Warrior One Guns & Ammo

As a shooter and collector I love this place. Mike and Chris are always very helpful and has always got me the gun I wanted. Plus they have some cool ass t shirts.

I would like to add to my original review. I have called twice since picking up my revolver. This is a very busy place and calls take time. Both addition times I called I spoke to Mike directly who took the time to look up the answer to my questions. I find it hard to believe that he would do otherwise. I am a new costumer
My wife and I visited Warrior 1 this afternoon. As before the service was great. I was treated like an old friend. These guys are awesome

I wanted to do a private party transfer. These folks don’t know the rules. They told me that somebody with a military ID and orders would not qualify as a California resident. And clearly that is untrue.
As part of the DROS process, the purchaser must present «clear evidence of identity and age» which is defined as a valid, non-​expired California Driver’s License or Identification Card issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). A military identification accompanied by permanent duty station orders indicating a posting in California is also acceptable.
They may be good at other things they do understanding the laws not one of them.

All the guys behind the counter are cool to talk to. Always has the high grade selection everyone is looking for. The only problem is getting it on time before they sell out!

I could not be happier I found this place! The staff is awesome and they had the only Glock G34 I could find. After calling 8 Turners, Bass Pro Shops and Ammo Brothers without any luck, I called John and he hooked me up. I walked in on a Sat at 10:02am and bought the gun, filled out all the paper work and was out by 10:16am (no lie), they are awesome. Stop wasting your time in long lines at Turners, go straight to Warrior One, you will be glad you did.

I usually only give 1 or 5 star reviews. However in this case I will give two stars. I purchased the very last Colt 45 Gov model to be imported into California. Mike delivered on his promise to get the gun from his distributor to his shop by the 12÷31÷15 dead line. That being said, the gun arrived beat up. The are scratches and stains on the slide, the grips are marred and the box has a big dent in it from where the rear sights made contact. This is a problem with packaging and shipping since the gun appears to not have been packaged properly. The 2 star review reflects both the guns condition and the attitude that I received from Mike. Mike told me to «contact Colt». I mentioned the damage in the store, prior to leaving. I also gave him a second chance to make it right prior to posting this with a phone call. I received the same response of «contact Colt». I paid high retail for this gun and drove 120 mile round trip twice. I expected it to be in perfect condition when I picked it up. This piece of junk is more beat up then the 50 year old Colt that my father carried in Nam. I will not do business with Warrior 1 in the future. This is the second bad experience with a SoCal gun shop in the past month, What ever happened to customer service and why is everything that I purchase today a piece of crap.

Great gun shop and great guys. They treat customers how customers should be treated. No intimidation whatsoever. Went in to buy a G21 and it was sold out. Mike had one for me in 3 days. It’s a bit of a drive for me, but I can’t see myself buying a gun from anyone else. Buy the way… These guys were the only ones that have told me «thank you for coming in, Have a Merry Christmas!» All holiday season!

Great place with great people. Mike and Chris both were down to earth guys. I bought my first firearm and walking into a gun shop can be intimidating. Mike greeted me as soon as I walked in. Made me feel welcomed. I have read other reveiws on Unilocal about warrior one saying Mike is rude or not professional that was not the case at all. Great place to shop they offer lifetime warranties on the guns they sell. Overall my experience will make me tell others to shop here and for me too keep coming back.

I bought a stripped lower from this place a while back and decided to return and purchase a Glock through the blue label LEO program. Just an FYI If you’re law enforcement they do not stock the blue label glocks and it needs to be «special ordered». So if you don’t have a dept. letter head to waive the 10-​day wait, you have to order the gun and wait for it to arrive, then wait another 10-​days to pick it up? That’s too much of a hassle. If you’re LEO you are better off going to Proforce in Brea. It’s a little cheaper and you won’t need to order your Glock.

Not a bad shop to stop at if you’re close. They have a decent selection of firearms and seemed somewhat knowledgeable. They knew some things I didn’t know when discussing a few firearms (Sig’s if memory serves right but I may be mistaken.) and yet couldn’t answer a few questions I had (about 1911 mags by Wilson Combat). Points for credibility is they didn’t try and BS me with stuff they didn’t know and gave the straight up answer of «I don’t know.» They have a pretty standard selection of the usual stuff, with a clear emphasis on tactical genre. I’m a self confessed «bag-​geek» and was disappointed by their limited selection in that department. Same for concealment holsters and slings. (I’m not likely to rebuild my First Spear tactical vest because I like the way the pockets are set up but I am ALWAYS in the market for new concealment holsters.) I’ve bought plenty of merchandise from them over the past few years, and will likely continue to pay them a visit when I’m in the area. I’ve seen better stores and I’ve seen worse.
Room for improvement? The store seems to weigh heavy on the «tacti-​cool» side and I felt there was a shortage of some of the more basic equipment. The staff was friendly enough but one of them was venting out — with no shortage of F-​bombs — about a customer. While perhaps justified, it was none the less unprofessional and led to my wife leaving and opting to not return. (She is also a gun packing professional but won’t shop there based on her experiences.) I’ve spoken to different employees on each of my dozen or so visits and left with good to «mehhh» impressions.
Almost all of my visits have encountered relatively polite employees. It also seems what I’m wearing had an impact on my treatment as one time walking in wearing a suit and tie must have said «Guy with no tactical knowledge.» to one of the staff because he talked to me like I was a tool. (Note: Some tactical dudes don’t have beards or tattoos.)
I would recommend this store but also think they could be better, especially since they have very little real competition in the Inland Empire area.

These guys have all the hard to find GUNS! Great customer service ! Family orientated shop! Stopped by for a Scorpion with my wife and kids!
Thanks warrior one! Perfect 10s on your nps!

After reading the reviews here, I decided to go by last Wednesday morning.
I spoke with Mike and was, overall, impressed with his knowledge and sincerity. I told him that I was planning on buying something in the next week or so. He gave me his input and I went to the range to try out the guns that I was considering. Prior to leaving he made sure that I had his contact information so that I could call him with questions, etc.
Called him the next morning at 9:45AM. They answered the phone and I spoke to Mike. He told me that he would do some research and call me back after the store opened at 10AM. Waited all day: crickets: [chirp… chirp…]
Friday morning sent him an email. «Chirp… Chirp…» all day Friday and Saturday. I tried to post a one star review on Sunday, but, for some reason, Unilocal wouldn’t post the whole thing, so I took down the partial Monday morning.
Monday morning he called (don’t know if he saw the partial review). Told me that he had been waiting to hear from suppliers. I didn’t want to waste my time telling him that I had also spoken to suppliers and other retailers in the interim, had gotten a lot of information, and had made some changes in my plans. I had already decided that someone who cannot return a phone call for three business days after they had told me they would be calling was not someone that I wanted to do business with.
I guess that these guys already have all the customers they want and are not interested in any new ones. (My turn to: «chirp… chirp…»)

I don’t know what we love more the people here or the guns lol. It is always great to come here the ppl are funny.

I have been buying my guns and ammo here for a few years now and all I can say is Wow. These guys are very knowledgable and will help you through the California process of buying a gun. I recommend this place above all others.

Someone stole my glasses at this store. Good prices, far from LA, good selection, glasses mystery still erks me.

I won’t go there again. There’s a couple of Tat covered knuckle heads behind the counter with pistols on their belts, pushing high-​end $ 3,000.00 AR style rifles. The rifles are pretty, with the latest designer paint jobs in all the Barbi & Ken Magpul colors. (Don’t forget the freefloat rails)
Everything in the shop from Magpul, Troy to Aimpoint is way over priced. Some of it is double the real-​world prices. Crazy. You would be better off buying your gear on-​line.
There’s one wall of the shop covered with posed-​action framed photos of the owner. Evidently, he did a year or 2 with Blackwater. This dude is clearly one of the «there I was» story guys.
Perhaps this «credibility» helps him sell (con) those $ 3,000.00 rifles to the young, inexperienced shooters of tomorrow. Hype & high prices. No thanks.

Cool spot, knowledgable staff helped out and gave tips on a new range in the area. Lots of inventory. Best gunshop that I found in Riverside while there for 10 years.

Best gun shop and staff! Very knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to choosing the right gun. Being a female I would normally be ignored at any other gun shop and not taken seriously (realistically). I like that I can always go in and ask all the questions I want in regards to any weapon I’m looking to buy or already own and get straight, honest answers. With that said, I wouldn’t go to a different place :)

I went to this store a couple of months ago only because one of my buddies told me to check it out. My initial reaction was that their stuff is way over priced! There was about 2 other customers in there and 3 guys working. I was standing for about 30 min waiting by their weapon sight section and finally left.
I’m personally more of a glock person, so I know all the prices out there. Right now they’re selling their glocks for $ 30 more than turners. Unless they change their price once they see this review
Looking at all these other negative reviews doesn’t surprise me about these jokers. I don’t understand how they can put an outrageous price on a gun, give bad customer service and still see these guys around?
…maybe they really are selling to MS13 gangmembers lol

It only takes one person to screw things up … Guy behind the counter didn’t acknowledge us when we came in. Finally got some service but I felt rushed. I asked a question and the dude ignored me… Asked again and gave me a short answer. I also put down my name for a weapon in the past and never received a call, finally went in and saw that they had the weapon and I asked why wasn’t informed they really didn’t say much.
Note: if you write a bad review on warrior one they will respond with a totally different story… It just shows how shady these people are. They said I changed my number… I’ve had the same number for over 10 years and I can prove it.
