It was a pleasure dealing with Chris. He is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to firearms. For not having an actual store front he is also very professional. He has converted part … More of his home (the part you walk into) into a space into dealing just with firearms and transfers. So the atmosphere feels very comfortable and professional compared to others. I also appreciate that he scheduled more than adequate time to deal with me so we did not feel rushed whatsoever.

VCA is now my go to gun dealer. Chris, who owns VCA, is among the most professional people I have ever worked with who has a breadth, depth, and volume of knowledge when it comes to … More firearms and personal safety/security equipment. Whether you are a first time gun purchaser or an experienced gun owner, you will learn something from Chris, as he is happy and willing to share his knowledge and experience with those who ask questions. Additionally, VCA's prices are fair for the market and you would be hard pressed to find items cheaper. Moreover, if Chris does not have what you want on hand, he will continue to look for you until he finds it. If he can't find it after a couple of days asking his vendors, he will tell you such, but know that he is continually looking for it. It is really helpful knowing that he is constantly looking, because this saves you the time of having to call up a dozen or more shops to see what they have. Other things that I have experienced in my business with VCA, Chris never tries to pressure you into a sale or upsell you. Chris' communication in terms of explanation, expectations, and timeliness is impressive. Chris can find the hard to find, and get just about anything.

By far 1 of the best experiences buying a firearm I’ve ever had. Website is very easy to navigate. Once I clicked complete order I text from 1 of the owners thanking me for my purchase … More and getting my info and giving me his so he could keep me updated on when and where my firearm was at during the entire process. There was a delay at the warehouse and I got a call immediately let me know what’s going on and it will be head to me ASAP. I live on a military installation so I needed the serial number to register it so I could bring it on post. I texted the owner (kind of late in the shipping process) to see if he could send the serial to me, not only did he send the serial he went the extra step to send a pic of the serial directly from the firearm. Definitely will be doing business with them in the future
