About
The Gun Store is Las Vegas’s premier destination for shooting experiences, operating as ’the original Las Vegas shooting range’ since 1988. With a 4.5-star rating across 953 Google reviews, this fully remodeled facility has earned its reputation as the go-to venue for both visitors and locals seeking quality range time in a safe, professional environment.
The venue features 30 air-conditioned lanes - a significant advantage for Las Vegas’s desert climate - and an impressive inventory of over 60 different firearm types. This extensive selection allows the facility to offer multiple curated packages designed for various experience levels and interests, from the foundational ‘Gun Store Package’ featuring a Glock 19 9mm pistol, AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, and MP5 sub-machine gun, to more adventurous themed experiences like the Galaxy Wars package (featuring Star Wars weapons) and the Zombie Experience (with 44-caliber magnum, Benelli M4 shotgun, AK-47, and full-auto M4). The ‘Pick 3 Experience’ allows customers to customize their session by selecting any three firearms from the inventory, giving experienced shooters flexibility in their range time.
What truly distinguishes The Gun Store from competitors is its exceptional staff. Over 80% of their staff members are veterans or members of law enforcement, bringing genuine expertise and a culture of safety to every interaction. This background shines through in customer reviews consistently praising staff patience, professionalism, and ability to make first-time shooters feel confident and comfortable. Multiple reviewers specifically highlight individual instructors by name - Dillon J, Jose, Ev, and James - describing them as not just knowledgeable but genuinely invested in creating memorable experiences. Staff members coordinate seamlessly, from the shuttle driver’s warm welcome to the range master’s patient instruction to administrative staff handling check-ins with efficiency and friendliness.
The facility prioritizes safety seriously with lead-free and frangible ammunition options and professional oversight throughout the range. The climate-controlled environment makes extended shooting sessions enjoyable, and the recently remodeled venue reflects attention to cleanliness and maintenance. Customer reviews consistently note that all equipment is well-maintained, the facility is spotless, and the overall atmosphere is organized and professional.
The Gun Store has strategized pricing competitively, offering ‘$10 off’ for online bookings, making the experience more accessible. Visitors frequently note that while not the cheapest option, the value proposition - combining professional instruction, modern facilities, excellent service, and the memorable experience created by the staff - justifies the investment. For many visitors, the experience is so positive that they explicitly state they’ll return on future Vegas visits.
