The store and range itself are small, it is a no thrills place, yet down to earth and you can get…read morehere just about anything you need. The service here is outstanding... perhaps the best out there as they don't come across as I know everything and your just a newbe. The place can be a bit hard to find as it's in this very tiny strip mall and you figure a gun range has to be somewhat big to accommodate the ranges. Right? Well, here the entire store and range is underground, so the entrance is literally nothing but a door which leads directly to a set of steps going down. The store and range certainly show their age and have been well used. But, from a business perspective this apparently keeps the overhead low as I find the prices here very reasonable! As for the range, the check in process here is perhaps the easiest of all ranges in the area. These guys are very accommodating and I like that fact that they encourage openly on bringing your kids along. The range itself is cramped and very loud. Okay, yea I know we are shooting off guns here and things just get loud, but here, the sounds really reverberate and I can really feel the shock wave at times when a .357 or higher is being used. I don't get this feeling at other ranges. The range can also get a little smokey at times. Despite these conditions, I really do like coming here as I get the feeling of being welcomed and I just feel very comfortable at these ranges. Some of my tightest patterns have been shot here and I think it has to do that I'm very relaxed when coming to this range. If you can, it seems that during the week days, just at opening time, the ranges is generally not as packed and I find it a great time to come.

But $75 for an FFL transfer is just wild. I understand it's not a main part of their business, but that's ridiculous.

Had to call the guys at the desk to sweep up the brass. One of the cheaper ranges for a reason. But I want to discuss their sales. As we know, IL has a 15rd magazine limit for pistols. In spite of this, and regardless of your feelings, they completely ignore it and have a ton of handguns with 18+ magazines for sale. Now we all know all the cops that frequent this place off-duty, and GAT feels like they can just skirt the rules. The problem is, if you're caught, they won't be held responsible at all. I pitty the poor new owner that is unaware of this restriction and suffers consequences. Used firearms appraisals? Forget it. Their offers are straight up insulting. Even Cabela's does better. They offered me 2x what GAT did without hesitation. Their ammo shelves are pretty bare too.

She was a really nice woman and I appreciated her catching my error and correcting it. I also spoke with a couple of guys in the store about the gun and they were very helpful as well. At no point point did I feel rushed or made to feel I was a bother to them. I will be ordering a Beretta from them today as their service was exemplary. From the time I ordered until the time I held the gun was 9 days!! As far as the gun goes... It was in nice shape but couldn't move anything as Cosmoline had it glued together. I finally got the grips removed and then soaked it in gasoline for a few hours. When I wiped it down the bluing came right off, after a quad steel wool rub down the gun looked AWESOME! I decided to put a few coats of Renaissance wax on and it is beautiful. Look forward to doing business with them again soon!

He is very knowledgeable and helped me find what I (at least what he thought) I needed. He did educate me on the things that I needed to know. The price I paid wasn't cheap, but I didn't pay rip-off prices that some are charging due to gun and ammo shortages (God help us if Biden gets elected). Bottom line: If I have any more firearms needs, whether it be for a purchase or FFL transfer Jim will be on my short list- if not my first call.
