I have been going there for about a year. I joined the range. They are always helpful. I took my CCW class there. The class was very well done and the range officer was vey patient and safety conscious. I recently modified my CCW. Patrick made the process easy and painless. read more

Anthony helped me with a very specific purchase and was extremely helpful. He not only answered all of my questions but also steered me towards options that even after my research I didn't know were available. He was not at all arrogant about his knowledge, but professional and courteous while also being friendly and personable about his experiences. Thank you DGM and thank you Anthony! read more

My friends and I stopped by this range a few weeks ago to practice, and it was a great experience. The staff were knowledgeable and helpful, and even though I'm not a gun expert by any means, it seemed like they had plenty of options to choose from. We tried about four different guns, which was really helpful since I'm still figuring out what I'm most comfortable using. I also appreciated that the indoor range was well-ventilated. I've been to another range that wasn't, and it was pretty uncomfortable. Overall, this was a good experience, and I'll definitely return. read more

Came here to complete my Firearm Safety Certificate. I scheduled an appointment ahead of time. I arrived as scheduled and was called to ensure I could get right in as I came at opening time and there was a line. I was greeted by Colton who walked me through the steps and checked my ID and I paid. I took the test and passed and he helped me with next steps on a few other questions. I was in and out quickly. Thank you Colton for all the help. read more

I came here with plenty time to check in for a lane. We were informed there was a lane open for the last hour, not reserved so we paid for it. And then suddenly after the payment went through, "oH wErE sOrRy, tHaT LaNe iS rEsErVeD." SO, they said we could get a refund. APPARENTLY, they cannot to refunds back to credit/ debit cards directly. The only 2 choices they offer is store credit or receive a check in the mail. I'm obviously not returning, especially if we're not from here, so we took to mailing option. There was ANOTHER issue regarding that matter so it gave us no choice but to get the store credit and buy something right then and there. This is very inefficient for customers especially when employees don't have an upkeep of when their lanes are reserved. Very disappointing for this being my first time here. Also, the store was fairly empty so there was no wait to get to the counter, but we were there waiting for an hour just to get things settled. I saw many bad reviews regarding a lack of urgency and it's very much true. read more

Service was great, both Ray and Edward were super helpful and patient! Judgement free, chill staff made buying my first firearm awesome. Way different from the guys over at the Santee location. read more

I love this place. Everyone is so friendly & very helpful. They make you feel at ease when asking questions.

Had an issue with my new gun, employees helped with my issues in a very professional and prompt manner. Great service by the front desk employees. Thank you! read more

I've had a good experience here both with ccw class and gun sales. They keep high-end guns coming in and available more then most I've visited. I've had 4 different sales persons help me and all 4 four were very knowledgeable. The service was good and professional. Guns: Wilson combat professional 45acp, LWRCI REPR "Reaper" in 7.62 NATO. , Staccato, SW Saint 308 AR read more

Always an awesome experience here. Staff friendly and to the point. Knowledgeable and helpful. I became a member this last time when I went to practice at the range and it was a great decision to do this with free gun cleaning, free reservations, and other discounts for classes. Thanks team for being helpful and always willing to give me advice and learning tools! read more

I came to DGM to learn the responsibilities of gun ownership and to get my Firearm Safety Certificate. Instead, in a willful attempt to suppress my second amendment rights, I was discriminated against, had my time wasted, and was told by 'Frank' that I was too young and could not be assisted due to California law. I am a 19-year-old pre-law student and assumed the person was just ignorant to the law, or assumed that I was ignorant to the law and didn't have a reason to get an FSC. So I showed them the law, as amended in June 2025. They still refused me service. I asked them if they were refusing me service on the basis of company policy/personal discretion or the law. They persisted, fabricating law to prevent me from exercising my rights: "the DoJ won't let us submit the FSC electronically," "it's never worked" -- in reality, the FSC is just a piece of paper, so their excuse about the bureaucratic failures of the DoJ and the harshness of California law were blatantly lies. I told them repeatedly that I would not care I was refused service on company policy and would just shop somewhere else, but that fabricating law is disrespectful. Eventually, it became clear to them that I was documenting and gathering evidence to pursue an Unruh Civil Rights Act lawsuit for arbitrary discrimination. So, they backtracked, and the general manager Joshua let me take the FSC exam. But, as us 2A-exercisers know, freedoms are not to be granted by liberal autocrats, but only to be taken through pressure and demand. The only reason California has strict gun laws is because Black and Chicano activists in the 1960s used them to protect their rights. If I let this malpractice slide just because their damage control resulted in the desired effect, then I would not be holding them accountable for the violation of my rights, poor customer service, and wasting an hour of my time. Overall, a terrible experience. Avoid this store if you care about your Second Amendment and Civil rights. Looking through Google reviews, I see that they have made up laws in the past as well to enact their personal prejudices: e.g. telling a black woman she needs her husband or father to approve a gun purchase read more

Great time using this indoor range. Pricing is great, easy to sign up, waiver process online, easy to check in. They have many different target sheets, gun rental (used my own), hearing pro, eye pro, and ammo. The only con was the wait at arrival. For the range, no one said "next" or offered to help. I went up to someone while he was with a customer to ask about check in for my reservation and he told me you just need to get in there and grab someone. So, that's what I did. There was no set line. I'm excited to go back! I plan to check the schedule and take their classes. read more

Discount Gun Mart - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - San Diego, California

Busy but always reliable. I'd say 9/10 times you'll have a great experience and the only real issue is the sheer traffic. It's a great establishment with a solid stack of employees that are reliable and very knowledgeable. Unfortunately since the services and staff are so helpful it's a busy hub for firearms enthusiasts. The selection is fairly good, a couple rare pieces though they excel at having a great range for the average joe or plinker. Compared to certain firearms stores in the area or even a bit further away D.G.M has a phenomenal price range from low end to decked out staccatos. Enjoyed my last few visits so much that I got a membership. Their website is great too with sales every 2-3 weeks. Amazing stuff definitely recommend checking it out. read more

DGM is a great place with knowledgeable and friendly staff and the best inventory in town. It's our go to FFL and we value our relationship over the years. Thanks to all the great folks who help San Diegans stay safe and protected!! read more

Took my father-in-law here for target practice clean facility. Well organized staff are educated and good customer service. They have a large variety of handguns, rifles and shotguns and ammo and accessories for your gun. Parking is limited reservations for target practice is recommended. read more

They will take care of you but the staff operates on island people time, not German people time. If you know what I mean.

The worst gun store in San Diego. Been there a few times and the wait is ALWAYS excruciating. Last time I went was for some ammo they had on sale. Pulled ticket number 54 and they were on ticket number 51. I thought maybe it would be a quick trip. NOPE!!! A full hour of waiting later a salesman was finally able to help me. It then took him 15 minutes to find the ammo There is no sense of urgency. None. Their pace is pedantic. I've been to MANY gun shops in San Diego and this one rates at bottom of the list read more

UPDATE: DGM management reached out and apologized for the missteps and took measures to compensate for our lost time on range. We appreciated the no-excuses communication and follow-up. read more

I'm writing because I'm somewhat dismayed by the less than favorable reviews. While I readily concede I know nothing about each of the fact situations, it's apparent from the manner in which some complaints are expressed they're likely not reasonable. Further, it's human nature to complain rather than make the effort to express satisfaction when appropriate. This past March one such unhappy camper wrote, "There is no sense of urgency. None. Their pace is pedantic." Perhaps what is meant is ponderous or plodding, but certainly not pedantic. Also, why should there be "a sense of urgency"? What I'm getting at is that it's easy to "badmouth" when doing so anonymously. I'll volunteer I've been purchasing and shooting at Discount Gun Mart staffed by various races/ethnicities for many pleasant years. read more

First time going to this gun range and from the start everyone was welcoming, friendly, and answered all my questions and concerns. Pricing is reasonable we rented out a pistol and bought the other things needed to shoot. I was then curious about process of buying and they were able to help out, Connor helped me out and his service went above and beyond. He was super friendly, attentive, answering my questions, and overall great salesperson. In my opinion best gun store/range in San Diego. read more

Awful service I waited there for 2 hours for them to tell me it's too late to purchase a gun and they are closing..... if you enjoy a place that never ever answers the phone and makes you wait hours to not even get a gun then I recommend discount gun! I'll be going to turners now read more

I've been a customer of this location since 2019. DGM San Diego is my ONLY go to store. Prices are competitive and actually the same or cheaper than items found on online sellers. I've purchased multiple weapons, scopes, RMR's, add-ons, bags, ammo and of course range time but to me what stands out is THE KNOWLEDGE, professionalism, and courtesy received by the staff. I would like to give a special shout-out to Jacob and Ray who both are incredibly experienced in weapons weapon mounts and fitment they go beyond being just firearms Salesman. You can't go wrong or overspend at DGM yes you may have to wait with a line but that means there's just many customers flocking to the store but it's worth the wait they will take good care of you whether you are a beginner in obtaining your first firearm not knowing what gun to get or if your a TAC shooter. read more

It was a great educational experience! As soon as you walk through the door you can tell this is THE place to get your gear. The guys will check you in and do everything by the book, but have patience ! Love the range here and love bringing my own gear to practice at their range. There's an array of ammunition. The pricing of their stock is a little on the high end but you can find so many different version, no matter what you own. read more

Discount Gun Mart - Glock 17 - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - San Diego, California

I came back here for more target practice and it was great. They have different range distances (3,5,7,10) that you can set your target at via buttons on their targeting display which you get for your lane. I would suggest doubling up on hearing protection (foam plugs + muffs), especially i n the rifle ranges. The staff are great and everyone (staff and customers) seem cool. It seems like everyone else thinks the same since the parking lot was full and I had to circle back. Will continue coming to DGM. read more

I picked up my G17 for a fantastic price. I got it during the August sale for under 500 bucks brand new Downside is they are Sooooo Slow to handle all the customers. I was there to pick up my G17 and I took a number and literally waited over an hour and it was a Tuesday at 2pm. 10 guys working there with no sense of urgency.. cmon guys do better! read more

Very friendly and professional staff. Each staff member dealt with me and my wife with patience and provided us with valuable information.

Wanted to take a moment to shoutout Nick who works here. He may have given me not only the best customer service at a gun store/range, but the best customer service I have ever experienced in general. He's so nice! Was having issues with one of my firearms, went up to him just to ask a question, he asked to see it himself, examined it, deduced what the issue may be, and even took me back into the range to shoot with it so he could see himself what the issue was. He said it was likely the firing pin spring, so I swapped that out later on went back to the range, good as new. He's awesome, thanks again Nick! read more

I had to leave a great review of my go to gun place! The service and selection has always been great to me, even for new shooters I brought along. Ammo was cheaper compared to other sites, so I ended up buying more, I guess that means I spent more but definitely got what I needed without a wait! I would only rate 1 star places or 5 star places, and this place gets all 5 just like its sister location. Please, never change, I'll be coming back for more license renewals and such! read more

I'm a rookie when it comes to handguns, so I was very glad that I started my journey with a lesson from Tyler. He's a total pro and very patient. He answered my questions with well-considered detail and put me at ease every step of the way. Definitely recommend Tyler if you're looking for an instructor to get you up and running or fine-tune your skills. read more

Hands Down the best prices In any gun store in San Diego! Your one stop shop Best Prices, Gun Range in shop!

My sister and I got two lessons from Tyler on M18 and M4 to improve our rusty skills. His clear explanations to all our questions really helped us to understand how to shoot more accurately and precisely. He is amazing! He is an awesome professional with a variety of experience with knowledge. We really enjoyed it and definitely increased our confidence to shoot accurately and precisely. It is definitely worth our time and money. We appreciate his lessons immensely! read more

Great selection and deals. I recently purchased two firearms there and the service was great especially considering they're busy with many customers. Highly recommend! read more

Helpful staff and assisted in a timely manner. Would recommend to any new gun enthusiast and will definitely return for more purchases.

I really want this to be my go-to store because of its convenient location, but unfortunately, the Service hasn't improved over the years. I first visited 8 years ago to purchase a Glock 19 but left empty-handed due to long wait times and a lack of clear direction on where to go or what to do. Hoping things had changed, I decided to give it another shot last week, but I had the same experience. It seems like regular customers are prioritized, while newer or less frequent visitors are left waiting or confused about the process. Because of this, I've had to drive 20-30 minutes to another store that can accommodate me better. It's disappointing, as I would really like to support this location if the customer service improved. read more

Horrible service. It appears that the staff is very selective of the type of customers that they are willing to provide assistance and service to. read more

I recently had the opportunity to visit, Discount Gun Mart, and I can't say enough about the fantastic experience I had there. From start to finish, it was a memorable and enjoyable day. First and foremost, safety was a top priority. The staff at the store and Gun Range were incredibly professional and knowledgeable. They provided a thorough safety briefing, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their level of experience, felt comfortable and secure. This attention to safety gave me peace of mind throughout my visit. The range itself was clean and well-maintained. The shooting lanes were spacious, and the ventilation system kept the air clear, even when it got busy. I appreciated the range officers who were always available to assist and offer guidance when needed. They even helped me calibrated to zero my optics sight. One of the standout aspects of my visit was the selection of firearms available for rent. had an impressive variety of handguns, rifles, and even shotguns to choose from. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced shooter, you'll find something that suits your preferences. Another highlight was the target options. They had everything from standard paper targets to reactive steel targets, which added an extra level of excitement to the experience. Plus, the electronic target retrieval system made it convenient to set your desired distance and retrieve targets without having to walk downrange. The pricing was reasonable, and they offered different packages that catered to various budgets. Overall, I found it to be a great value for the quality of the experience. In conclusion, I highly recommend this gun range to anyone interested in shooting sports. Whether you're a novice looking to learn or an experienced shooter wanting to hone your skills, this range offers a safe, enjoyable, and top-notch shooting experience. read more
