I went to this store to buy my first handgun. After waiting 30 mintures, the disgusting man behind the counter said, since I'm a girl, I should get a revolver after I repeatedly told him I wanted a 9mm handgun! When I asked to hold them to find which one I liked best, he said they were all too big for me!! AND when I asked to take my handgun license test, they said that was ""at time of purchase of a handgun"" - THIS IS AGAINST THE LAW. They don't even know CA laws!! Half of the items on their shelfs were dusty and looked like returns. Rick at Goleta Valley Gun & Supply is so much more knowledgable and will help you even if you don't buy anything. I bought my 9mm Taurus 24/7 from him and everytime I walk in, he remembers my name. And Rick's shop is much cleaner and organized. GO TO RICK!
