I just took the 2-year concealed carry renewal class at Calibers Westside with Andy Anderson, and it was hands-down the best class I've ever had. I have held my permit for over 20 years, so I have taken plenty of these courses. Andy made this a perfect experience by sharing his own background and personal experiences to make the lessons hit home. It was far better than any other class I've taken in over two decades. Hats off to Andy for an excellent class! I highly recommend Calibers Westside. read more

Visited Calibers on the Westside for the first time last week and I am obsessed with this place! We were warmly greeted by multiple employees upon entering and it was a fairly busy Friday evening. My plethora of questions were promptly answered by a knowledgeable staff member and I am excited to take a course in the coming weeks with instructor Rachel! They offer a huge selection of firearms and ammo and have range memberships which we are thrilled about! One stop shop for everything you need, conveniently located at the bottom of Coors and Irving and an overall great atmosphere! They offer really good specials... If I remember correctly, Monday is half price for the range and Thursdays is ladies night. Gotta check them out! read more

Rude Abrasive Unprofessional Demeaning Least Unknowledgeable Person in the firearms industry. Terrible customer service. Deajsh kept interrupting, would not listen, kept interrupting, kept interrupting, would not listen to a simple question, a simple problem which could have been resolved easily and quickly but her abrasive attitude caused a huge problem which a simple solution was available. There was no problem before she caused one. read more

On July 2, I came into the store and purchased an AR style rifle. I live in Phoenix but visit Albuquerque a few times a year. I told the salesman this and let him know that I would be back in town in August but only briefly. I paid in full and he said I would be able to pick up the gun when I came back in town. I showed up today to pick up the gun and I was told that they had not done the background check and that I would have to wait another seven days from today. I won't be in town for another seven days so I asked for a refund. Initially they told me there would be a 15% restocking fee which on a $1600 gun was just over $200. I asked if they would waive this fee and I spoke with the manager. In my opinion, they should have done the background check when I came in initially so I felt that this was their mistake. He said he would call his general manager and when he came back, he told me that actually the fee was 25% but they would lower it to 15% for me. $200 to put a gun back on the shelf that was never out of the box. This store is dishonorable, and I will be reporting them to the Better Business Bureau. Take your business elsewhere. They do not value your time or hard earned money here. read more

My brother and I had a great time at Calibers when I was in town. I have been shooting for many years and my brother had only shot once before. I do not recall her name, but the young lady who helped us was fantastic!! She made great recommendations and provided great tips for my brother. The rentals were clean and worked flawlessly and they have a pretty decent selection to rent, no matter what you're looking for. They had exactly what we were wanting to use so we were happy with it. Overall, we spent around 2 hours at the range and the cost was less than I expected for two rentals, three boxes of ammo, lane use, and a couple paper targets. Between the employee's assistance and the quality of the range, I am sure my brother will be going back, possibly to take one or more of their courses. The next time I am in town, I will be coming back in for certain and also taking him back. Great establishment and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a range, whether you bring your own weapon or rent one of theirs. read more

I had purchased a year long membership at Calibers and used a credit card to make the full payment. I told them I just wanted to pay for the year up front and not a monthly recurring membership. Buyer Beware!!!! My year went by and I used the facility a handful of times. The employees were nice, I did a few firearm transfers through them. My year ended and I did not renew my membership as I was traveling too much for work. I thought nothing of it and never went back after my year membership ended. Unbeknownst to me Caliber's had tried to run my card for another $400.00. The card in question had already expired and the charge never went through. I was sent to a collections company for refusing to pay for the next year. Please be careful what you are signing because the fine print must say they will continue to hit you with a recurring charge even though I specifically asked for a one year membership. They could have at least made a phone call to ask about renewal but it's easier just to hide it in the fine print. Now my credit took a hit just over $400.00. I did try to reach out to the store but was never put in touch with anyone that could help. Never went back to the store again over $400.00. Hope it was worth it. Spent lots of money at other gun stores in this town. Bummer read more

The people that work at this place are not only well informed and educated on matters all concerning firearms or any type of projectile weapon, but the range also accepts air gunners with open arms the staff is always been amazing here. I don't even know where to begin. Just go and check it out for yourself. You'll be happy you did. read more

I visit the Coors location approx weekly for personal shooting. Their counter staff and RSO's are helpful, friendly, and courteous. Their trainer, Gary, conducts classes in numerous F/A related subjects, but often supervises special shooting sessions for members. He is very well versed in his classroom subjects, and supervises the members' group fun-shoots very well. It seems he has eyes in the back of his head, and can control both the shooting line, as well as the spectator areas, fairly and competently. He's a great guy to get to know! read more

Took the Advanced Defensive Handgun Course with my stepson instructed by John Mallory... it was informative, technical, demanding, challenging and fun. 400 rounds downrange in four hours with more than a dozen advanced shooting skills (timed SDRs, realistic FTF drills, shooting while moving, shooting from cover, multiple threats) reviewed and practiced. Facilities are excellent, safety is paramount... instruction was first class. The pace of the training and volume of fire demanded personal attention and constant focus. One of the best courses I have taken in 20 years. Excellent service, not cheap but good value! Highly recommended. read more

I took Calibers concealed carry course and walked away with a totally different perspective. Gary Antal was great! He made this class fun and extremely informative. Would definitely recommend this place. Everyone was so nice and professional. Thank you Gary! read more

I stopped going to this location even though it's closer to me because the staff here are young kids who have bad attitudes. Same case with the Fuds that work here too. Had to go in to zero in my new sight and didn't wanna drive to cutler and sure enough reminded me why I don't go here anymore. Shit Staff with shit attitudes. The staff at cutler are super friendly and very accommodating. Go there instead! read more

Very professional nice guys love the shooting range indoor we need more of those shooting range

Most cities have annual membership around $250 and less. This establishment has a monopoly and charges an incredible amount. Been there a few times and was ignored by the employees, laughed at by employees when asked for eye and ear protection, and was distracted by people scavenging shell off the floor. read more

I just took the first shots course there,I highly recommend their course to any newbie! I'm an old lady and I was afraid to go to the range until I took a course. My goals were to feel more comfortable with a weapon., Get tips on how to hold/aim and shoot, and to improve my gun safety! I met all my goals with this course! I'm not an expert now, of course, but now feel more comfortable going to the range and becoming better with a gun. Ken was great! read more

Calibers - Not bad for someone that hasn't shot in a long time! Of course it was close! Lol - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I'm a firm believer in that even if you do not like guns, you should know and understand their power and your way around one. I also believe that every person that chooses to eat meat should in fact know how to process meat, kill their own game, and understand what they are doing. In this era of uncertainty and a shortage of ammo at pretty much any store in the area or overpriced ammo, I stopped by Calibers to look for 357 or 38 special. It's out of stock everywhere unfortunately here as well. I was also looking for a 22 pistol, but they're also out. However, I was able to pick up a small pistol with bullets for less than $500 that is perfect for concealed carry. Having been around guns my whole life and knowing how to shoot, I appreciate that as a woman I wasn't looked at like I was crazy or that I didn't know what I was looking for. There was genuine education provided if needed but also the ability to look. They offer classes and range shooting as well. I plan on having my son take classes when he's old enough and hunters safety as well. read more

The staff was very nice at the front counter. They were very helpful in getting people checked in and processed through for their shooting times. I had a guy next to me that had some pretty intense weapons that were extremely loud. It was hard to concentrate on shooting when a .357 is going off next to me. Not sure that a indoor range is for me but had to try it. read more

I love Calibers! So helpful and I'm a member. They are awesome. Always someone to help and I got my CCL through an instructor here.

Had the chance to take my son to Calibers for his Birthday "birthday machine gun package". He's from NY so freedom is a new thing to him. The staff was friendly, instructive, and truly enjoyable to speak with. Brought one of my pistols to add to the experience and we had a great time. Highly recommend visiting if you're new to shooting or a seasoned pro. read more

Gary Antal at Calibers, West location on Coors has been my instructor for Conceal Carry certification, and several private lessons. Gary is great, patient, direct, concise, and has improved my shooting. Breath control, trigger reset, releasing my slide (I did have trouble releasing the slide release on my Glock 19 for cleaning), how to make sure my grip was correct, and from my targets when I needed to add pressure with my support hand. I highly recommend Gary Antal as an instructor at Calibers. Calibers is a great place to go shoot! read more

Pro's: The shooting lanes and range is fairly nice... Never had to wait long to shoot. Clean space. Good selection of pews to buy/rent, yes, there is a mark up but not horrible. Staff is knowledgable. Cons: -Membership is EXTREMELY over priced and cancelling said membership is more difficult than driving a car up hill with square tires. . . After 15--- yes, 15 attempts to get in contact with staff, managers, owners etc. to cancel my membership I was still received bi-weekly transactions It wasn't until I contacted my bank (with proof of cancelling membership) that they finally stopped. It took hours-- DAYS worth of time getting in contact with someone to cancel and now months later I still receive anywhere from 2-6 calls per day from Calibers third-party company ABC Fitness in regards to renewing membership. NO! The monthly events that they hold for members is cool, but not at all worth the frustration. I will be taking my business elsewhere and encourage others to do the same. read more

Trying to cancel membership and have had nothing but the run around. Did a buyout and still getting charged after it was paid off. DON'T GET A MEMBERSHIP WITH THEM!! read more

I rarely leave highest ratings for anything, including doctors, but I love this store. The staff are always helpful and friendly and very knowledgeable. The instructor, Gary Antal, was thorough and I learned so much. Had help on the range and felt like I was respected and not belittled in any way. I would highly encourage everyone to get educated in firearms and purchase whatever you need at this store. Thank you again for making my learning experience enjoyable. read more

We were assisted by Major who was very knowledgeable, patient, and genuine. He answered all of our many questions and helped to educate us and test shoot. Overall it was a wonderful experience and we look forward to coming back. read more

Thank you to Gary Antal. Your class taught me on how to be a responsible Conceal Carrier. I would recommend you to anyone.

When I'm traveling and have a day off, I really like to keep my weapon handling skills sharpened by hopping onto an indoor range. This place is terrific, actually world class. The folks who work there are courteous and helpful, the range was clean and well lit, and they ask nonmembers to watch and agree to a safety video upon entering. Personally, I think all ranges should do this. What I really liked about Calibers' video was it also explained range etiquette - which happens to match my range etiquette - so I was pleased to see them teaching the youngsters how to behave properly in a place like this. Coming from California, I was also happy to see the price of ammo significantly less than my home state. Great job team, I'll see you next time I'm in town. read more

I have used many other indoor ranges all over the Midwest and south, and I felt like the staff didn't want to help the customers get signed and on the range. It took 20-30 mins to get signed in, with staff standing around behind the counter and only one guy at the register. The clustered all the shooters on one side of the two sided ranges, which made for a crowded situation as several lanes had 3 shooters on the same target lane. After my last time there, I'm looking for an outdoor range or open range land for my next shooting outing. read more

I love being a member here. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Josh the gunsmith is the man and the only person I go to for gun smithing needs. If you go twice a month or more then getting a membership would be ideal. read more

Smart and very knowledgeable training staff really enjoyed my course! I would definitely recommend fir new and experienced alike!

I have spent a lot of years around firearms, military, law enforcement & competitive shooting. I been to a plethora of gun shops, ranges and places selling guns and ammunition, some great and others not so much. Calibers is pretty much a one stop shop for your firearms needs. Not the best but far from the worst. The firearm prices are very reasonable - coming in at or near the more realistic street prices, offering a savings above the generally over inflated MSRP. There is a decent selection of accessories and ammunition. The accessories I looked at were at retail price points. For the safety conscious, security minded or parents with kids in the house they offer gun safes to fit most sized collections. Given the current state of affairs unfortunately they're increasingly becoming a necessity. Classes are available to meet the needs of most shooters from basic firearms handling to long distance shooting. Gunsmithing services are also on location to fix what's broken or to install the latest accessory. Then there are the ranges. Don't have a weapon to shoot - or want to shoot something before you buy? No prob. There are guns for rent giving an opportunity to try something else. Unfortunately they are short, about 30 yds. Great for pistols, or sighting in a rifle, but don't provide the distance needed to hone long gun proficiency. I'd like to see some 100 yard lanes. So you're asking why the 3 stars. Customer service is hit and miss. (pun intended). I've had days where the employees are present and helpful, others where they were scarce and seemed like they'd rather be elsewhere. Ammunition prices are at a premium. Don't come here to just buy ammo. But I'm sure it offsets the lower weapons prices. For range time there is a tendency to group all shooters in one section of the range(there are 2 defined sections). The large caliber rifles are frequently put along side the small caliber hand guns. On the last occasion I was shooting a rifle next to a person shooting a handgun. I was told that each time I fired the person in the next lane jumped. Probably better to spread shooters out to make the experience fun for everyone. If this Calibers fix these issues it would get all 5 stars. read more

First time shooters and Josiah the manager was truly awesome. He took his time and was very kind and safety minded. My son and I had a great time. It really helped that we got such good service and instructions. Used a groupon! read more

Calibers - Step Mum and Son day - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Last week I took my little Browning .25 automatic pistol made in Belgium, a real keepsake...... in to get it cleaned, where I told the receiver that the gun was bought in 1966 by my husband as a gift to me, and that it had traveled all over the world, but had not been cleaned or shoot for thirty years, and that I just wanted it cleaned and inspected so that it would be safe to shoot if need be....when I had not heard from the Caliber gunsmiths in 8 days, I called, and was told it was ready.... but a piece of wood had fallen off and maybe they could find a new cover for it online.... the gun was in perfect shape when I took it in, kept in a padded carry pouch for the the last ..what...almost 60 years...... so it was apparent when I examined it that the side piece covering the back arm of the gun had been forcible separated from the gun for cleaning, and had been broken by the technician who handled it..... it was delivered to me in a piece .... and Adam said it was old, etc. etc. etc.... and offered to look up what it would cost to replace it, which was over 100 dollars..... I put it back together and ask if he could not just super glue the cover together, as it fit well together, and put it back together.... which he did.... at no time was the admission made that they had broken my keepsake gun my dead husband had bought me, and that they were going to make it right as far as they could.....I paid 53.00 for a cleaning I now do not trust, and left...... what a dishonorable thing for a business to do to an 81 year old pretty good shooting Annie Oakley lady...... I suggest you find a better place to have your gunsmithing done.....I am airing out my glue smelingl pistol on my dresser..... read more

Great experience here at this location. Was looking for Sig M18 9mm, Matt and his teammate went and found one for me. They took time to call me and let me know they found one. This is a very hard to find firearm but they made it happen. From selection to service they are above the all. Highly recommended. read more

Calibers - Sig M18 - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Awful customer service! The employees treat you like a idiot or like your worthless. When I use my first amendment , I use it to train. I'm a combat veteran and I went in on Veterans Day and was treated like I was a idiot in regard to firearm safety. The employees are fudds and are judgmental if you take your training seriously. (I was being stared at the second I walked in and was instantly judged). Firstly I was informed I wasn't allowed to have my weapon holstered in the lobby, I gladly complied because I understand there's crazies. I proceed to the firing area with my battle belt, and was questioned about my firearm qualifications by a supposed "marine" for taking my pistol out of my gun bag and moving it to the firing line. He was then arguing with me and was being very aggressive towards me. You're better off just going out to the mesa so you're not disrespected by calibers employees for wanting to improve skills. Maybe they were intimidated by my tactical gear? Sounds about right for a store ran by Fudds. read more

I was ignored and avoided for 45 mins! I left really upset! Right after I left I made a very pleasurable purchase at Ron Peterson's!

The staff there was so rude. Very unhelpful. Don't come here looking for good customer service. Would recommend going to rio rancho armory or cabelas instead. read more

If you are not experienced in range shooting or a senior citizen DO NOT GO TO CALIBERS, unless you are okay with being publicly yelled at and publicly humiliated by a "want to be marine " supervisor. A group of us went shooting and at no time were explained the rules and expected to read them off a iPad or our phone. At not time we're we given a written copy of the waiver we had to sign. We were at no time pulled aside professionally and told what we were doing wrong. This was unprofessional and abusive to the older generation. No customer service was given for the amount of money we paid. We felt we were targeted because we did not do our concealed carry class through their facility. It is just unfortunate there is no other indoor range to go to where you are treated with respect like any paying customer. I will never go to that facility nor recommend under any circumstance due to the abusive behavior from the supervisor. read more

As a 2A supporter and gun enthusiast from NYC (yeah thats not too common) this was an amusement park, Staff was hospitable and location had a wide selection for guns from long clip 9mm to 50 cal rifles to israeli style rifles. read more

As a gun un-thusiast who spent many afternoons in gravel pits, taking target practice with his papa, I'm not one to tout the firearm industry in this country. I don't own a gun and never will, because I have children, and I could go on. And on. Still, I recognize the rights of the gun owner, I've known many who honor the levity of weaponry and the responsibility such tools encompass, and so I give credence to those who responsibly holster a gun. Like it or not, firearms are a stitch in our fabric, and businesses like Calibers represent the clean, smart, reputable side of a sketchy industry. This place teaches what it means to be a responsible gun owner. And then some. I like the And Then Some. These guys offer classes that don't involve real guns, as well, like self defense. There's a lot to discover in this silo that have nothing to do with bullets. I found myself enraptured at a display for a bad-ass non-lethal but still punishing product that my wife could fit in her purse; this place does stock alternatives to the ol' fashioned gun. In the end, I bought a taser for my teenage daughter, and I'm coming back for mace. I'm a disillusioned gun hater, for sure. I grew up loving 'em, and the people who religiously coddled them. And I can handle 'em. I know how to measure my breath and fire a solid shot. But as a parent, I can't imagine buying one. That's neither here nor there. Calibers is a great gun shop. read more

DO NOT BUY A MEMBERSHIP HERE! I've been a customer since the only location was on Paseo. Bought numerous firearms, accessories and range time over the years. I signed up for a membership and shortly after needed to change payment methods. Because they use a gym membership company to collect the payments, all they could find was an old planet fitness membership. After hours of back and forth, I let it lie. Then I've got collections notices for a membership I couldn't pay for and did not use because of that. When I spoke with Sabrina Alderete, I was told "you should have used a different email". When I mentioned all the other reviews for similar issues I was told "people don't like to pay their bills". Zero care about the situation or their customers. Was told CEO Ryan Burt is the only one who could make the decision. Two calls and an email, no response from the coward. I will never spend another penny with this company and I will recommend to everyone to do the same. read more
