Rancho Cordova Guns & Ammo

My husband and I went in here Monday after the gym. My husband is a firearms and CCW instructor, and was in the army for almost a decade. He owns many guns and is always looking to add to his collection. That being said, we are a younger couple and were in our gym clothes so I guess we didn’t look like «we had money» to spend there. Big mistake!
We walked in and were not even acknowledged. The grumpy old guy behind the counter couldn’t even look up from whatever game he was playing on his Ipad to greet us. My husband was polite, asked how his day was, etc. but the guy acted like we were bothering him.
My husband saw what he needed, but decided to buy it at his usual spot since the worker was so rude and dismissive to us. We will never be back again.
The store is old and run down, and smells like a thrift shop. You would think that a store like that (that is obviously not thriving, nor rolling in the money) would have a little better customer service to try to generate business/​repeat customers.

The guy behind the counter was a jerk. I went in asking for 22LR ammo, he threw some on the counter. It was marked up 3 times. In shock I asked «Why so expensive?» his response in a very douchy way «You haven’t bought 22 in a while?». I explained I have ammo I’m just getting low and I restock every few months. He got all puffy chested, and deepened his voice, in attempts to be manlier and said that 22 is very hard to find.
It’s guys like this that make ammo inflate in price. He isn’t paying any more for ammo from the manufacture, yet he knows it’s hard to find so he marks it up 3 times. I had the money to buy all his stock but didn’t on general principal alone. I won’t give price gougers my business, because that’s just contributing to the problem. Secondly, I would rather give Sportsman Warehouse my business who is right across the street, their prices on ammo are great and they are actually friendly. You would think the little guy trying to stay afloat would be friendly and not be greedy. Surely this guy will never know how much money he lost by taking the gamble and marking up his ammo so much just because he thinks people will pay it. It’s just straight up greed.

UNBELIEVABLE. Very sad, If I owned this place i would FIRE the middle aged guy. I went in today with 2k cash in my pocket ready to buy a rifle. Like the previous reviewers stated the guy acted like I was an inconvenience. I asked him: Do you know what I.O. stands for? (wich is the maker of a rifle I was interested in and it was listed on the price tag) His answer was «NO» with an irritated tone. I then asked him if it was a good rifle, his response «well yea its American Made «then he gave a look to his partner and gave a sarcastic giggle. I got the vibe he was thinking «what a dumb ass quit wasting my time» Ive been in the direct sales field for 25 years and I can tell you right now that this clown has absolutely NO SALES SKILLS whatsoever. He knows how to make someone feel uncomfortable and unwanted very well though. Needless to say, I walked out with my cash. COMPLETELY INCOMPETENT who knows how much money this guys has cost this business.

Great prices and they always have
ammo Tuesdays and Wednesdays which is hard to find now a days and I also bought a very nice British 303. Enfield # 5 Jungle Carbine with a flash hider on the barrel, paid a fair price and had great service, the other two reviewers on here probably got treated the way the staff felt they were getting treated. best place to go in sac to go I’d recommend it

Went today to do a private party transfer and was told they only do them some days, and only a few hours on those days.
We left and went to Shooters Warehouse, did the transfer with ease, and bought a bunch of stuff because they were having a huge Christmas sale.
That’s how you lose business, RC Guns.

I’ve got many guns from this RC Guns and Ammo.
They’re knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Even though it’s rough times they seem to have a good selection of new and used guns.
Other Pros, they seem to have ammo too, which is in shortage and a good lay away program.
All in all I’ve always had an excellent service.
They’re old school, (which I like) maybe that’s why the negative reviews.

small shop but decent selection. as far as the service goes, it’s been a bit bi-​polar for me. half the time I’ve been there I’ve received great service, and half the time I’ve been there it’s like the prior reviewer stated… I feel like I’m «bothering» them. which is really weird since I’ve never seen them busy. but honestly a lot of the guns shops I’ve been too are staffed with blow-​hards, so not totally out of the ordinary for Sac. prices seem similar to other shops for accessories, haven’t bought any guns here.

I have walked into this place several times, everytime it’s like i’m «bothering» them. I tried to do a PPT (Private party transfer) and was told they only do it Tuesday and Thursdays between the hours of 1pm and 3pm. WTF… I don’t even know how this shop stays open, it’s over priced under staffed and a bunch of jerks work there… it’s sad it’s in such a good location… Go to STS guns in folsom or the gun room in Elk grove. they are GTG
