History
Hiram's Guns was established 1947. The specific overall history of the company is somewhat unclear to us at the moment. However, we were told that the company was founded by George Virgins and later sold to Dr. Coleman and his wife. Nick Greorggin purchased the business from the Coleman's in 1987 and ran it with his son Ted up until the end of 2017. In 2017, the business closed to the public but maintained an active business license while Nick sought someone to purchase the business. In 2020, Firearms Unknown purchased the business and re-opened the store as Hiram's Guns / Firearms Unknown. Firearms Unknown is proud to own and be a part of San Diego County's oldest gun shop and will continue to run the store as Hiram's Guns / Firearms Unknown.

Specialties
We are a gun shop that specializes in the AR and Glock platforms but we sell all brands of firearms. An additional specialty our shop is known for is custom builds. If you wish to build a custom firearm or wish to upgrade existing firearms, we are your store. Our business model is unusual in that all of our employees focus is on customer service first and being an armorer second. As such, our guys can help you find what you need but also help trouble shoot issues you may be having with your gun(s). Although Firearms Unknown took over Hiram's Guns in 2020 the staff running and operating Hiram's Guns has decades of combined experience in helping customers and working on guns. We pride ourselves in standing by our house brand products and helping customers who bring us guns that they bought or built elsewhere. If you are looking to build, repair or simply buy a gun, we are your shop!
