    weekend wait times

    All 5 times I have been to Riflegear on weekends I have had to wait well over an hour and a half to be helped.

    Maybe get some more weekend help? The wait times are horrendous, the worst retail gun store wait times I have personally encountered.

    The saving grace is the incredible customer service from Peter.

    Honestly, people go there for a reason. Its a great shop, lots of things in stock, informative, and great customer service.
    I came from the bay area and had to wait an hour and half while my wife and son sat in the car on a 95 degree day, thank god for air conditioning. If youre really blaming them for helping inform others about what they may inquire about I think you should shop elsewhere. Trust me, they had a gentlenmen asking to see two firearms and he spent an hour just dwiddling about one or the other. There well over a dozen customers whom were waiting before me. Its annoying but you also have the choice to shoo elsewhere

      Every time I have shopped there has been on a weekend as well. I have never waited for an hour and a half. There as been a wait every time and yes it does seem long but their service is fantastic. I mean they even grab the people that are just there for ammo/fast purchases in between people doing DROS paperwork. There is a reason they are so busy, they are a great shop.

        I guess wait times lately must be just abnormally bad lately.

        And I agree looky-loos are annoying, but it looked like 90% of people were buying or picking up a lot of merchandise too.

        It seemed like locals in the know would grab a number and come back later. Today I grabbed a number and ate lunch, and went to Fry's next door. Came back and was halfway there...

        It looks like maybe they should open another store

            Uh oh, I gotta get my .22LR outta jail this Sat. Thinking I should show up when they open to try and minimize the wait.

              Honestly, I would get there before they open.. Waiting hour plus on weekend is normal and frustrating.

                That's what I do when I need to get something from Riflegear. I'll be there on Saturday at 9:55am.

                  you think thats bad ? try going at lunch time during the week.
                  Been gone too long. It's been 15 to 20 years since i had to shelf my guns. Those early years sucked.
                  I really miss the good old Pomona Gun Shows.

                    keep going there enough and you will figure out when their down time will be. if i time it right i can get in pick up/purchase/dros and be out in less then 30 mins.

                      Sorry guys, but we are working it the best we can given our limited showroom size and current panic buying situation. The AC wasn't working so well a few weeks ago but we recently had it serviced and it is working much better now. We are going to be adding a 4th check-out computer real soon and that should reduce some of the bottlenecks.

                          Not sure why everyone is complaining! Yeah waiting sucks but at the end of the day we are all trying to build our toys. I go to talk to knowledgeable people about parts and are helpful. To be honest I have never seen a store like Riflegear in CA with a store front and selling parts the way they do with big selection even though I wish it was bigger with more barrel options and I wish they had more KEYMOD forearm systems because KEYMOD is here to stay. Keep it up Riflegear and expand that sales floor

                            Awesome! I stopped by about 3 weeks ago and it was a bit uncomfy but as mentioned, the service always makes up for the wait.

                            Keep up the great work and thank you.
