Gun World — Attraction in Burbank

Finding and buying firearms in 2021 is a daunting task. Called ahead, knew they only accept appointments right now and i don't blame them given the demand on guns from the public and also politically. Was able to make an appointment, showed up 20min early. Josh came out and greeted us and let us inside. I had a couple questions on gun purchase laws and he was very helpful and listened to me. Me and my wife knew what we wanted in general, brand and features. I can imagine it's not the time to browse for hours on end or being so indecisive at the start. The internet gives a ton of info, just do your research and know what your talking about. It's also fair to the business, they are trying to help a lot of people. Me and my wife also already finished the test and had our cards to speed the process of purchase. I was shocked to see so much inventory there. The sig i ordered from turners earlier in the month, turners told me later in the month it will come in. Then they say a year wait for our order. Cant say i wasn't shocked by the news but still disappointed. So we went hunting for guns at other shops and went to gun world. I see the sig i had ordered from turners (which will never show by turners standards) sitting in the case at gun world. Then i see a benelli m4 on the wall, another one i wanted to get but couldn't find anywhere. My wife also found a baretta storm that she liked. More inventory at gun world than any other store ive been in so far. Looking at the tag prices it's about 200 bucks more than what i see elsewhere for the same guns for all the ones we wanted. Asking Josh about it he said it's a demand thing and they don't make too much on their gun sales. Not sure if thats just a quick response from a salesman perspective to keep money in the sale or not. I get it, not like i have a choice. They have it, i want it. There isn't more math to it than that. The staff were professional and helpful and didn't make us feel dumb or unimportant. The process was smooth in the purchase and they were very clear in the expectations of pickup procedures. Besides the higher prices than expected, they did a good job and I'm super happy to be getting what we wanted. All in all, be prepared, know what you want and even take the test elsewhere from a local place before you go. (Thats what we did) We drove back to turners and asked them to refund us our money. Glad they did, sorry they lost our business, and gun world gained our...

I have purchased a rifle here. I want to tell that everything was great, friendly staff, great selection, they know what are they doing. But there's something I really disliked. When I went to pick up my rifle I've miss calculated the time so went early, they said you can't pick it up until certain time, okay that's not a problem I said thank you and I will be back! I asked if I could take a look at the rifle again to decide one more time if I wanted to switch the stock(that was an option given to me earlier, and was supposed to be done by the pick up date, it wasn't). So they said sure have a look. I've looked at my rifle again, checked it out compared with a "Thordsen" stock and decided not to touch the rifle. Left the gun and came back later. Found out that they replaced the stock magazine with a cheap after market long magazine with an orange plastic marks on it. That caught my eye right away! I told them where is the magazine? They kept insisting that this was the one came with my rifle. Funny I've put my magazine on when checking the rifle out multiple times and it wasn't in the plastic bag and sealed also this is an aftermarket cheap quality one. So I've complained and they gave me a magpul mag. I'm not sure if it is the stock that came with my AR 15 M&P but I'm very disappointed that they are stealing something that doesn't belong to them. And my rifle was jamming every other shot (I'm thinking who knows what else they have replaced on it ?) To the owner: find that employer that steals goods that doesn't belong to him. To the other customers: take a picture of your guns that has to seat in their store and check before you pick up. For me: I'm not sure if I'd trust this...

Sold a Beretta Tomcat last night t and we agreed to do the transfer at Burbanks Gun World. Well I have purchased their overpriced firearms a few times because I want to promote local gun stores and well if it costs a little more than so be it. I mean if you buy online when all is said and done it would cost me about the same so unless I can find it significantly less I buy from Gun World or another local gun store. Well anyway I met the buyer today and was getting ready for the sale when the guy behind the counter told the buyer he needed to get his HSC, he is a parole officer and his card didn't state he was allowed to carry, well the guy said they don't do HSC's for transfers and he couldn't proceed. Well I told him to ask the manager and if it made a difference I would put the money I made selling the gun down on a Kahr P380 I was fondling before the buyer showed up, and in typical Gun World prices it was at least a hundred more than what Turners quoted me for the same firearm. Well the guy went and asked his boss and came back and told us no he wouldn't do it. We ended up going down the street to Aegis Trading Enterprises and did the transfer there with ZERO BS. Now I have purchased about 5-7 firearms from Gun World and transferred a few others. I did this because I wanted to support a local business but no more. There are better and cheaper places to buy from and even considering the limited supply of HSC cards he stated they had I am a valued customer who would have spent even more money buying a gun there. No more gun world...
