Longtime favorite FFL for transfers
Pros
  • Best pricing for FFL transfers (Especially when doing multiple firearms)
  • Very knowledgable and super helpful for parts and compliance
  • Efficient and fast especially when communicating ahead of time
Cons
  • Shop hours can vary since he has a day job
Been working with Dave for many years now, and he has been my primary FFL dealer for the vast majority of my online orders & GB purchases. He offers by far the best pricing in the South Bay Area, especially when purchasing multiple firearms at once. In addition he's been extremely helpful with parts or simple gun armorer style services. (Especially for AK's which can be tricky if you don't have the right tools)

As long as you communicate with him ahead of time on Whatsapp or text and let him know everything that you plan to DROS and when exactly to show up, then i've found his service to be very good and efficient.

Also appreciate him being generally helpful and friendly, especially compared to some other FFL's like Reed's that i've used over the years, where they almost seem to loathe you for giving them your business.

Overall been very happy with the service and plan to continue doing business at Farwest as long as he remains open.

  • Personable
  • Knowledgeable
Used this FFL for a transfer and had a good experience. Dave knows the law regarding firearms. Process was straightforward, secure location, and pricing was fair. If you're overly sensitive some of his jokes and comments might catch you off guard lol but I had a great time doing business with Dave.
