Also very quick returning messages when I sent an email and text.

The facility itself was organized and spotless It was my wifes first experience at a pistol range and although i have fired handguns before I have not done so in a while and welcomed the session I commend our trainer Victor Rivera for making this such a great experience. He took his time to explain everything to us in great detail and I mean everything. From discovering which eye was dominant to breaking down the gun and so much more Finally heading to the range to fire the pistols i felt it very intimidating for my wife but by the time Victor finished with us I feel she had more fun than I did but more importantly the lessons we learned are invaluable.

I did so, and by Feb '26, we went back to buy a gun through him. He was not there, so we asked if they carry a particular gun. They did, and gave us further valuable info. They didn't have the one we wanted in stock, and we wanted Kris to help us anyway, but they were scheduled to have a shipment in 4 weeks. So we returned yesterday and this time Kris was there and he helped us buy the gun of our choice. To say that everyone who works there is extremely helpful and friendly, is an understatement. All the employees are active or retired law enforcement and it's a very safe-feeling store. I've never felt that secure anywhere. We are returning in a few days to pick it up, bc there's a background check waiting period, for which I'm grateful. Kris has so much information and is highly qualified to answer all our questions. We were very happy. You really can't find a better place to purchase any type of gun. Thank you Ottamanelli's!!!!
