Hello everyone, new to this particular page, long term user of Calguns. Since all their issues I've come over here. Maybe some of yall know us. Pawn Shop in West Covina, CA. We have our FFL been doing it for 13+ years now, and I've probably done a few transfers for some of you on this forum in the past.

This is Chris right now, but I'm sure some of the other dudes here at the shop will be using this forum from time to time.

Current shooting sports that I enjoy the most are shotgun shooting. Particularly fond of Trap, International Trap, Skeet, and ZZ birds. Mostly shoot at Redlands Shooting Park, but I do travel to compete at some of the Grands and other out of state Trapshoots. Love the sport and I'm looking to get better each time I go out.
 
Hello, I'm Doug Co-found and lead instructor of 2A Firearms Academy. We currently do most of our classes out in Concord at United Sportsmen and teach for 30 different county and city agencies. At 2A Firearms Academy, we don’t do halfway. We don’t do surface-level training. This is about precision, responsibility, and the confidence to own every single moment, even the ones you hope never happen. Our certified instructors are here to get you into the trenches—live-fire training, in-depth drills, and expert coaching that digs deep into your technique and pulls out your best. We turn “good” shooters into sharpshooters, and we do it with relentless focus. With over 200 5-star reviews, we look forward to working with you!

Here's the list of agencies we are approved to teach.

Hello, everyone, here from CAguns reddit as well. I am from the South and grew up shooting targets and hunting, and I have been in California about 15 years now and I am about to get my first gun here. Looking forward to being a part of the community and seeing what all this site has to offer!

I don't have a stable at the moment, but if budget allows I will either be picking up a Shield Plus or Glock 19 soon, but now I am thinking about an LCR 357 or something because it may be easier to conceal once I get my CCW.
 
Hey Everyone, longtime Cal Guns lurker, found this site while searching for a So Cal gunsmith. Longtime fan of 1911's, but kinda liking the new Staccato HD P4... trying to hold out for the 4.5
 
hello folks, another calguns member here…it’s been a few years since i had logged on so i didn’t even know calguns went kaput. how’s the classified section? i want to get rid of some reloading gear.
 
I found this site on Reddit by accident, when I was trying to find out whether Calguns.net is finally shut down for good. After years of a total mess I'm hoping for a much better experience.
 
Hello everyone
Just found this site after calguns became unusable. Looking forward to this site as it looks great.

Here from the caguns reddit, also had a bad experience with Calguns and their servers being constantly down. Hope this is the new future home for the Cali market ✌️
 
A while back, Calguns did me well. Mostly bought from there and lots of interesting reading……cannot complain…..was just out of the forum for a long while and when I signed in a few days ago,had so many tech issues

Am sure I will have a good time here !

Hello everyone, a coworker introduced me to this forum ,
I’m interested in handguns
Located in the 209 area ,

My go to CCW is the Glock 48 at this time.
 
New move from Calguns and so far I am digging the faster load times and friendlier UI. Hope to make this place my new go to for cool milsurps and general posting.
 
hi goons, coming from the CAGuns subreddit. looking forward to talking guns and fewer posts of peoples crotches in the driver seat titled "fresh out of jail" than reddit.
 
Yippee! Happy to be here! Referred from Reddit. I enjoy building rifles and pistols, often in less-conventional calibers and configurations. Also, some Black Powder loading and shootin'..
Lifetime shooter and enthusiast.
 
I came from Calgun and appreciate this forum to share and discuss. I would consider membership as well.
 
Came here from Reddit after being on and off looking for my first handgun! Originally joined calguns but learned how sporadic the site can be... Really enjoying the way things are here on caguns!

From SoCal around OC. I look forward to getting my first handgun soon and having more hands on practice handling and shooting one!
 
Hello everyone,

North of Disneyland.

came from Calguns, sick of it being down.
I tend to browse the classifieds weekly on whatever page(s) I'm on, always keeping my eyes peeled for something new to me.

I tend to lean toward buying gun lineups when I get in a mood (multiple S&W M&P, CZ75, XD, ect). I'm currently on a P365 kick - I just got a macro and I'm looking for an XL (off roster) or XL Rose second hand, and a standard P365 as well (will probably buy new from store since they're so affordable).

Home range: typically Evan's, but starting to do late nights at La Puente.

I need to get back with a group that does evening trainings with movement and defensive situations. My old crew had a change of leadership and training became about leaders making money instead of about a group working together to grow skillsets.
