This range is a complete disgrace of the 2A community 1 they judge you of your appearance 2 your workers are just rude & don’t have any clue how to treat people! Try to have less judgement on people & stop assuming that you guys know everything! Long story short don’t waste your time&money with this low class judgmental range please save yourself the time!

0/10 would not recommend. They denied my service all because they thought something that was NOT TRUE at all!

This place is horrible 0/10 wouldn’t recommend to anyone. Customer service skills are poor. Went in today with 2 of my friends & they accused us of having marijuana (WHICH THEY WERE WRONG) and kicked us out! Prices are way too high for the firearms they have. PLEASE DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME COMING HERE

Where do I even begin? , first I got denied a purchase just because the people working here thought that I'm a mindless psychopath that wants to shoot down every single person that I see, and then they tell me to talk with a lawyer about my problem, fast forward a few hours later I call a lawyer and then I'm told that I have to pay about ten thousand dollars to get the situation fixed? , what do I look like a bank? , I don't have that kind of money, I'm not some old white rich dude living in a mansion that has a Corvette or Lamborghini, is this the kind of world we live in now? , a world where the most vulnerable can't protect themselves and their loved ones? , we live in a sad disgusting nation, so much for this being the land of the free and protecting your second amendment, I'm so sick and tired of the whites thinking that their better than everyone else and that they should have everything for themselves only, I'm definitely not coming here again, in fact, I'm never stepping foot into a gun shop ever again, I'm better off getting a gun off the black market if such a thing even exists anymore and prove to everyone that I'm not a mindless psychopath and that I should have the right to protect myself and my loved ones

They don't allow certain types of guns here. I came with a Zastava M70 and couldn't use here. It's more affordable to shoot here than Colisimo. I would come again

Bought my first gun here. Rasheed was knowledgeable, personable and helpful. I’m very happy with my gun purchase and selection and staff. Jimmy and his team are solid - I highly recommend. I came back to get my second gun here and Nicole signed me up for the membership. Grateful this place exists to start my gun journey.

What can I say, i bought 3 fire arms from this store in the past. Came in to have someone transfer tile of there fire arm to me. First they couldn't do it because the owner couldn't read that my permanent registration card said permanent alian registration at the top, so when I pointed that out he said he still can't do it because he can't tell the front from the back, even though the picture is on the front and the numbers on the back. So either.
He discriminated against me or he is not of sound mind. Mind you it's the same card i used to purchase 3 other fire arms from them before. I will never do business with this store again. If you want to be treated like a human being go somewhere else

I went there for my first shooting experience with “larger” calibers. I booked range time with an instructor. I was given both a handgun and a rifle. Ammunition has to be bought separately. All the guys I met or talked to were friendly and sometimes funny. The instructor explained everything I needed to know to use the weapons safely (FIY I watched some safety videos beforehand. This made it easier for me to get used to it). Anything else I wanted to know was answered promptly and respectfully.

I always felt safe. I did everything I was told without any objection so that they also felt safe with me. I was treated with respect and I treated them with respect.btw I am not a us citizen

This is the best range in Philly. I've fired at all the Philly ranges, and this is the best by far. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to help. They have a little of everything, and what they don't have can get it in quick.

This place is horrible do not patronize this place of sales! I am sworn law enforcement as well as a military veteran and I had my credentials on me. I go into the store and they tell me to unload my firearm. I declined and left the store. Prior to my departure I noticed the high prices and pushy sales employees. If you are looking for a good deal and a knowledgeable staff go to Delia’s Gun Shop in northeast Philadelphia!
