Iron Oak Armory is about 6 miles west of Claremont Village. Many of our Claremont customers are first-time buyers, and we take the time to explain California’s process step by step.
Getting here from Claremont
From Claremont, the I-210 west or Foothill Boulevard gets you to San Dimas in about 10 to 15 minutes. From south Claremont near the I-10, Arrow Highway is an easy alternative.

How buying a firearm works for Claremont residents
Because we are a California dealer, Claremont customers complete the whole purchase with us in San Dimas. Plan on two short trips:
- Visit 1: choose your firearm (or order it online first), show your Firearm Safety Certificate and ID, and start your DROS background check. Bring proof of residency for a handgun.
- Visit 2: at least 10 days later, complete the safe handling demonstration and take it home.
Ammunition works differently in California: order online or in person and pick it up at the store after the state eligibility check. Bought a firearm somewhere else? We handle local transfers too. Full details are on our California Buyers page.
Questions from Claremont customers
I have never owned a firearm. Where do I start?
Start with a Firearm Safety Certificate (a short written test), then come talk to us about what you need. Our California Buyers page explains each step.
Can I order online and pick up in San Dimas?
Yes. Order online, then come in to start your DROS and return to pick up after the 10-day waiting period.
