X-Ring Security & Firearms

Pretty happy their is a gun shop on the west side. It’s in the industrial park of Waipahu so it is hard to find. I bought pepper spray here.
We are looking at signing up for the handgun classes. They offer classes in their newly open shooting range.
If you have your own guns you can shoot here instead of going to Koko Head, yay!

This review reflects the new gun range they’ve opened up.
Not only do they have great little store, but that 9 lane indoor shooting range is fabulous. Brand new, air conditioned, nicely lit, you folks need to take advantage of this place. Lots of parking with the only drawback is it’s hard to find the first time… maybe even the 2^nd but well worth it. Because of the constructions, I would suggest those coming from east of the H1/​H2 split, use the Ewa exit (5A) and come back around on Ft Weaver road to avoid the congestion on Farrington Hwy. Once on Ft Weaver road, look for another exit (Waipahu or 5) to loop around again.
Signing up was painless and currently they’re offering a good price for range fee. I’m not sure how the membership aspect will work but I’m hoping to use them quite a bit in the future.

Bought many guns from them, in store and ffl transfers. Brian is the BEST! This braddah from the start was friendly, knowledgeable and informative. Helped me with a shotgun I was having trouble with too. Visited only 4 of the local gun shops so far, and Brian and his staff is the best. There’s a HOT chick behind the counter too! I may have to buy a gun from her.
Thanks Brian… from a customer who happens to be an impulse buyer, I will continue to spend here. Over $ 5K in a few short months, you gonna get me into trouble with my wife, you keep showing me these new toys. Mahalo Bro!

I had a great experience here. They built my spikes lower receiver for my ar15 in a timely manner at no labor charge. Just as long as you buy all parts for it from them, but not a big deal since they carry quality products. Very knowledgeable staff.4 stars because its kind of a pain to get to that’s the only negative I had with it.

Tucked away at the end of a narrow, dingy residential street in Waipahu is this remarkably spacious and well kept gated property containing a gun shop, ample private lot parking and a qualification range for those attending courses offered here.
As first time visitors, we were promptly greeted by the friendly and knowledgable staff despite the showroom full of busyness from the weekend crowd. On this occasion, Brian Takaba who is the sales manager, happily assisted us with pricing, as well as other informative and helpful information.
Yay! Our search is over!

Great people to deal with! Very professional and patient with their customers. My wife and I both took the Handgun safety class with Brian who is not only very knowledgeable but a great instructor as well. After dealing with some of the other guns shops on the island at least one of which left a lot to be desired, these guys are a breath of fresh air! I recommend them!!!

Gotta bring down my review of them down because they just don’t seem like they want to be competitive with their prices. Maybe it’s because they have a high rent for their place? I dunno. Their sale prices are regular prices in other shops. And you can save hundreds by shopping online rather than spending it at xring.
I also heard their annual membership for their indoor range will be close to $ 900? I hope that was a joke told to my friend. Maybe he heard wrong but if that’s true then no way am I paying that price. Give me a free handgun then yeah I’ll pay that. Otherwise I’ll save money by going to koko head. I won’t spend nearly as much on gas. I can use my own ammo too.
Xring has now become the last place I stop by when looking for firearm related items.

Brian is very nice answered all my questions and very knowledgeable. I will definitely combackesp. They have an indoor range in the oven. Thank you! A+++

Looking for my first handgun. Guy behind the counter was very rude and talked down to me. Answered every question I had like it was a dumb question with a condescending comment after. I never asked to hold a gun and didn’t. I just wanted to look around. Cause I wanted be sure I really wanted a handgun before I take the safety course. Plus I was the only one in the store. Before this I was most likely gonna buy a handgun and now… not so much. If I do buy one… it won’t be with them.

One of if not best gun shops in the island. Brian is very knowledgeable and friendly as is his staff. I ordered a 12 ga shotgun through gun genie and had it sent to xring. Great prices on firearms and accessories. Highly recommend

Good friendly service. Popped off a stripped screw from my scope mount Perfect! Dropped it off and it was ready in 30 minutes. Don’t be put off by the neighborhood. It’s in a sketchy area, a little hard to find. So nice to find a dependable smith here in town. Heard they are planning to put an indoor range!

Good selection, but i think their prices could be better…

The staff are great and knowledgable. Brian is like an encyclopedia of guns. Kitya is sizzling hot! If you’re a guy and don’t know about guns, Kitya is going to put your manhood down. She knows a lot about guns. But not more than Brian. Alfie/​Eric, whatever his name is, is a good gunsmith. He has assemble two of my AR-​15. And they both worked fine. He is very hilarious. Next time you see Alfie/​Eric, give him a hug. He loves it cause it makes him feel good that customers really care.

Very friendly staff, no stuck up/​know it all employees and in a pretty good but hidden location with plenty of parking. They have a good amount firearms and selection too.
Can’t wait until the shooting range/​lanes open up, I’ll be here for sure!

This place is a bit of a drive for me, if my sole purpose is to go shopping for something like ammo. But I’m out west enough, so it’s easy to pop in for some ammo or some gear along the way. And whenever I really have my sights set (pun intended) on a new firearm purchase, I’ll go out of my way to at least pay these guys a visit, and see how they stack up against some of the other players in town.
I told myself long ago that I would never shop from Magnum because the old owner — Art — just rubbed me the wrong way. And I know the guy here at X-​Ring has history at Magnum too. I’ve been to Young Guns once, and the owner was a bit arrogant, and I haven’t been back since. I would consider Magnum and Young Guns as the «old blood» of firearms dealers on-​island… and they could probably get away with their cockiness/​arrogance because dealers were so few and far between.
For a good while I was bringing all my business to OGC — even as far back as when they were over by Kaheka St., and they’re still a good place to go — knowledgeable folks and good people. But my go-​to spot nowadays, and it’s not even that close to be honest, is right here at X-​Ring.
I’ve found them to have the best selection in-​stock (both firearms and ammo); and they have staff that are as knowledgeable as anyone on-​island, and who true legit gunsmiths here. They also have a knack for getting things that are generally harder to find (mostly because all the TactiCOOL guys wanna scoop them up as coffeetable pieces) and keeping a regular rotation of them coming in.
If you’re not familiar with the area, don’t make a wrong turn or you’ll end up in Pupuole (a Waipahu classic, affectionately and appropriately referred to as «poop town» back in the day).

These are the nicest guys around. They are very knowledgeable and can get you what you want in no time. Do they have the biggest shop on the island? No. Do they have the know-​how to get things done? YES. They have a HUGE parking lot so you don’t have to run around a neighborhood looking for one. Long story short, this is the shop you are going to want to go to if you need something done. Brian is also a very skilled gunsmith you fixed my issue in no time. Give them a chance and don’t judge a book by its cover.

Sorry, I tried to give this place a chance but twice I was not greeted and the second time they helped the guy that came in after me. Plus, the prices are considerably higher on guns and ammo. They do have FB sales but I’m not going to wait and hope they put it on sale.
Plus, I was looking at a ruger ¹⁰⁄₂₂ takedown, and the guy was showing me how the barrel is loose and it’s not that good and tried to up-​sale me to something I didn’t want. I then went to young guns and looked at it and the guys showed me how to adjust the barrel so there’s no play. I’m not a gun expert but I’m not a moron. Thank you for wasting my time! It was also cheaper at Young guns.

Brian is one knowledgeable and helpful guy. Probably took a good 30min. asking him about alot of things, mostly in regards to my initial shotgun purchase. I got to hold several brands and he was patient and even gave me some advice as to what kind of shotgun would be good for me. Overall, great customer service, no pressure, and transaction was smooth and quick. After all of that, I eventually got an AR that was on sale (I was looking at also getting an AR to modify for the longest time), and will probably regret later not getting the shottie I wanted. But at least I know where to go next time. Great place!

This place was recommended to me by a friend of mine since I had a bunch of accessories to add to my wife’s AR –15 and was more than willing to pay someone to do it for me.
Enter X-​Ring Security and Firearms. Located in Waipahu in a location you would least expect given the neighborhood that you have to drive through to get there. I took a couple wrong turns before I got here and kept thinking to myself, «oh boy» You don’t want to be looking for directions on your phone and bang a car. Your so fricking screwed. If you been in this neck of the woods, you know what I’m talking about.
After finally getting there I had Brian look over what was needed to be done to add the accessories that I brought in to install on my wife’s rifle (1 hr labor $ 50.00) not a bad deal. Along with that they offered to thread the barrel ($ 75.00) to add a muzzle brake ($ 75.00) since the barrel was going to be removed anyway. When he said it looked naked without it I was sold. Its a custom brake made by them too and it looks really nice.
I liked the customer service here. They were all very friendly and more than helpful. I know other places that I go to, I would’ve had a different reception along with attitude regardless how polite you try to be. Something that doesn’t deserve my money when I’m questioning their services.
They have construction going on right next door and from what I found out its a new 25 yard 8 lane indoor gun range being built. From what I was told is you can bring your own ammo or buy theirs. Not like Honolulu Firearms and Range where you can only buy their overpriced ammo to shoot at their 4 lane indoor range.
05÷13÷14 — Came in to pick up my wife’s rifle today and I couldn’t be more jealous. Brian did an excellent job of assembling all the accessories and changing out (low profile gas block $ 50.00)ones that didn’t fit to complete the job. The rifle came out really nice and the wife is super stoked. Mahalo for all your help.
Great prices and friendly customer service. Highly recommend this place if you need something installed, repaired or even purchasing a firearm

The guys here are very helpful and friendly, even to newbies to the hobby. I went there to look at a scope I saw in their booth at the Gun Show, my friend ended up ordering a bolt action from Brian just because of how friendly and helpful they were. I’m so use to the prejudices and opinionated personalities of gun shop staff that this experience threw me off my guard, they were respectful with their opinions without intruding on our viewpoints; even when they didn’t agree with them.
The location is a bit out of the way, but I’m sure that is how they keep their cost low; lowering the bottom line. There are a few back roads you need to drive through to get to them, but they keep their property line clean and bright.
Product pricing is competitive with online and other shops, key note is the person (his name escapes me, so sorry!!!) assembled, mounted, and bore sighted my scope for me right there in store. With that they gave me a crash course on how to use, adjust, dismount/​remount and answered my questions about the optics; something you can’t get online.
These guys really strive to push the customer service element which is valuable enough to drive from Ala Moana area to Waipahu.
