    Check this place out if you ever want to go shooting casually or get some lessons! Park at the lot in the back. Staff is fine- not very welcoming or chatty but will provide help when you ask. A while back I took a group class with Scott. I learned ALOT and he teaches you everything you need to know. Coming out of the class, my gun handling and my knowledge about safety has been super helpful when I would go over to tactical ranges and do simulations too. I already knew my stance, and the proper hand positioning, and was taught the behaviors of how to act when shooting. The class was super knowledgable and I was very timid shooting the gun but he step-by-step helps you and ensures you are doing everything properly. Every fire arm is treated like it's loaded and finger off the trigger. I had bleeding on my hand when I was reloading my ammo, and the staff provided me a bandaid which was appreciated. I will look into membership in the future.

    I'm a happy member at Firing-Line Burbank and brought my wife here for her very first range experience today. She wasn't exactly sold on the whole "fun date activity" idea once the guy in the next lane started rattling off shotgun blasts that even made me jump. She decided to sit it out, but the Range Master checked on her, suggested doubling up with ear plugs under her earmuffs (something I should've thought of, rookie husband mistake), and made her comfortable enough to give it one more try. She fired a single round from my Shield, said "nope, not for me," and went back to the seating area. Fair enough. I went on to turn about 200 rounds into brass, and when we wrapped up, the Range Master didn't even charge me for her lane time or the extra plugs. That's the kind of customer service and attention to people's comfort that keeps me coming back. Firing-Line gets a bad rap sometimes for being strict, but honestly, that's just because they take safety seriously, which is exactly what you want at a range. As a member, I couldn't be happier with the staff, the professionalism, and the overall experience.

    Very affordable membership for unlimited range time, accessible from much of east LA. Really no negative since June when I started here. Maybe that it feels pretty warm in the range, but it's also summer and I haven't been to other ranges as a newer shooter to say if that's expected. Definitely recommend!

    I usually visit this range about once a month to shoot with one of my college buddies. Wait time for the range is very minimal. The staff does a good job on monitoring for rapid firing and unsafe ammo loading. Range fee is per person vs per hour. Staff is professional.

    I've been a member on and off since around 2008 when Firing-Line still had the Northridge location. My family and I've shot at Northridge (closed a number of years ago), Burbank, and Huntington Beach. In fact, I began my youngest son's firearms training at Northridge, which eventually began his progress to becoming a nationally-awarded Distinguished Rifleman at the USA National Matches. Firing-Line does not have the most modern shooting ranges that my family and I have shot at locally and nationally. I don't think the ranges go all the way up to 15 yards. The staff have, over the years, varied from mostly friendly and helpful to very few grumpy and know-it-all. I don't think there is any public business that is perfect. What I believe one should focus on, though, is longevity. I know for a fact that these shooting ranges have been around since before my family and I began patronizing their facilities in 2008. That's 17 years plus! The owners and managers have therefore been doing somethings right in serving the shooting public's needs, as well as maintaining business profitability in this highly firearms-unfriendly state, through the ups and downs in the USA economy. If you're looking for fun, SAFE & EXPERT firearms instruction and training, pistol and a few rifle rentals, purchases of ammo and targets (I love the tennis balls!), practice of your short-range shooting skills (non-tactical), a soda machine, a small relaxation area, reasonable cleanliness (even the bathrooms), and so on, try the Firing-Line Indoor Shooting Ranges, and judge for yourself. My family and I highly recommend them. We (I especially) would not frequent them otherwise, even more than the outdoor shooting club that we also belong to.

    First time at Firing Line -- and it won't be the last! I visited Firing Line for the first time today to celebrate my birthday with my daughter, and break in my brand new handgun, and I have to say, it was an awesome experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcomed and comfortable. We were helped by Mark, who was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and just a joy to talk to. He answered all my questions with genuine enthusiasm and took the time to chat with us about our favorite firearms. It wasn't just customer service -- it was a real conversation with someone who clearly loves what he does. My firearm needed just a bit of lubrication and Mark took care of me instantly without hesitation! We even had some great gun talk with other staff members, which made the whole vibe feel like we were among friends. The range itself may be on the smaller side, but it's very well maintained. Clean, organized, and with a cozy little seating area complete with a TV -- perfect for taking a break or just hanging out between rounds. Only two minor things worth noting (and they're really not dealbreakers): 1 The trash was full, and I couldn't dispose of my own trash properly -- I actually wanted to help keep the place tidy! 2 The target selection was a bit generic. My daughter had a great suggestion: add some fun options, like a PINK target for female shooters or anyone wanting a splash of color! All in all, this was a fantastic birthday outing and I'm really glad we chose Firing Line. Big thanks to Mark and the rest of the team for making it so memorable. We'll definitely be back soon and I am definitely purchasing the family membership! Oh yeah, and as for parking and ammo, there is a small first come first serve lot in the back, but also more than enough street parking right in front! And as for ammo yes you can bring your own which is GREAT! Just make sure you call ahead with the brand and type to make sure it's cleared before you get there, and you're all set!

    Regarding staffP THEY ARE GREAT. 100% on your side if your side is to be safe, listen and follow the rules: and just be honest about what you're doing. Here's the thing... if you don't know what you're doing - don't act like you know what you're doing. Find out how and you find out how by ASKING. If you do something wrong - Yes, you MIGHT be scolded - but this is a shooting range with live ammo from high-powered handguns and rifles and we're there to practice, have fun, and to learn in a dangerous environment. So lessen the risk! Safety first! If you think you know something but you don't - THAT could be dangerous: Life-threatening - to you and people around you. And thank GOD we have the staff here to keep us in check. This isn't a playground. If people are fooling around or doing something wrong, or not following the rules, and because safety is the number one overall rule, you'll be corrected (possibly in a firm way). Don't be mad at staff for yelling at you for risking the lives of people with a firearm in your hand. Check your ego at the door. If you have a question - just ask. Have a problem with your gun, come out and ask for help. If you forget where you're supposed to do something or how - ask. If you guess - and you do something to endanger yourself or anyone there, of course you'll be reprimanded and possibly sent home. Do you want a story to tell. Just sit in the lobby for an hour and count the amount of people that are new, that don't listen, that say they know this that and the other thing, but they don't, and find out what happens. Hell, I don't want them next to me. Do you? So staff HAS TO BE on their toes all the time. If not - I sure as hell wouldn't go to this range. They aren't there to joke around and let things slide. WE ARE SHOOTING FIREARMS! I'm not going to give a rating based on pricing and rentals and ammo -because that's just what it is. Bring your own gear. And learn how to use it - you'll save a ton of money in the long run. Overall, this rating is about a facility and staff that makes it safe place to go. The first week I was there I had a couple of my empty firearms laid out but they were pointing left. Staff came in and told me that they need to always be pointed down range no matter what. I thought, hey, they are empty, slide locked back and because of that I believed they were safe. But you can never be too safe when you remember the 4 rules of gun safety and one of them is: Always treat every firearm as though it was loaded. I was very thankful for learning that lesson. If you're an asshole and start saying yeah, I know, blah blah blah, they are empty, blah blah blah... I'd rather you be kicked out and not in a lane next to me.. SO there you have it. Great facility. Great Staff. Normally great members shooting... but of course, the newbies and the know-it-alls will say otherwise because THEY are the ones who get called on safety issues.

    I've come here a few times and I have always had a good time. I've seen some complaints about the staff, but I've always had a good experience with them. Usually just casually talking shop while waiting for a lane if there is even a wait. Still my main range since they are closest to me, and I think they are good dudes. In my experience, at least!

    I'm a Brit in LA for the first time and wouldn't mind experiencing this whilst I'm here. Am I able to just turn up and shoot or do I need a membership?

    No membership needed. Must have a US DL or Passport and be over 21

    Can I shoot 7.62?

    No rifle calibers allowed at this range. Rifles chambered in a pistol caliber are allowed, however (9mm, 22lr, .357 magnum, etc.)

    How far can the target go to?

    As far as it lets you

    Does anyone have price range for private training?

    See their web site for basic RANGE rates of $28 (first shooter) and $14 (second). I did NOT see their rates to rent guns or sell you ammo.

    Does this range allow 9mm pistol caliber carbines?

    Yes. Rifles are allowed if they are chambered in a handgun cartridge lower in power than .44magnum, or .30 carbine.

    Do they require you to take a class/course before firing?

    They do not but they require you to demonstrate that you can load and unload a gun safely. It is best to either take a class first if you're inexperienced or go with someone who is experienced. Please don't expect the people working there to… Read more

    No, they don't.

    How much is it approximately if I want to try shooting at the range with a pistol? I need to rent everything

    for a non member, i think one handgun rental is $20. and you also need ammo. a 9mm ammo 50 rounds would be around $10. 45acp 50 rounds was like $20.… Read more

    What brands of semiauto handguns are available for rental? sig? glock? beretta? are they all one price to rent?

    All the brands and several others are available to rent. I believe rental prices are the same across all hand guns.

    No. .22 or handgun ammo only. Allows shotgun with birdshot loads.

During the online purchase process, Sako suggested a few FFL's, and Guns LA was one of them. I said yep, although I had never been here, and away we go. A few weeks later, I received an email notice that the rifle had arrived at Guns LA, and I drove over to go through the transfer drill. They buzzed me right in, I was greeted by a couple of the guys, and they handled everything right away. Typical easy California transfer: pages of paperwork, produce CDL, provide DNA sample, raise your right hand and swear you are not a communist or a Klingon, take a polygraph...the usual drill. Because they have a highly Yelp rated gunsmith, I handed them the Leopold scope and mounting rings I had purchased and asked them to mount it (yeah...as if I could have mounted it). No problemo. Ten long days later, I returned (and yes, the DROS paperwork stamps the exact minute from the ten days you started the process and you are damn RIGHT I was there at the exact minute to accept my rifle). They gave me a break on the price of mounting the scope since I did the transfer paperwork there, which was generous and unexpected. Everything was perfect. Although I live in Pasadena, and there are closer gun shops, I would absolutely go to these guys again. Thumbs up and thank you!

    I had an excellent experience at Guns LA in Burbank and can't recommend them enough…read more About a year ago, I purchased a handgun from another dealer that has since permanently closed. Recently, I noticed some parts were coming loose and was concerned about safety. I reached out to a few shops, and while the first place was willing to help, I felt like they were more focused on trying to sell me something rather than genuinely helping with my issue. Thankfully, I found Guns LA right around the corner. After seeing their great reviews on Yelp and Google, I decided to stop by and I'm so glad I did. Deon helped me from the start and was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. He never made me feel uncomfortable and took the time to explain everything clearly. Not only did he inspect and fix my firearm, but he also spent time teaching me how to properly use my Holosun sight and gave me helpful tips to improve my shooting. He even shared a flyer for private training lessons, which I really appreciated. Best of all, there was zero pressure to buy anything. He genuinely cared about helping me, not making a sale. When I returned to pick up my handgun, Deon and Mike explained that the previous dealer had actually left out some important parts, something they couldn't believe. Luckily, Guns LA has a certified gunsmith on staff (apparently one of the only ones within a 20-mile radius), and they took great care of everything. I'm extremely grateful to have found this place. They've earned my trust and my business. I'll definitely be coming back for future purchases, and they're now the only shop I'll trust with my handguns and AR-15. Highly recommend Guns LA if you're looking for honest, professional, and knowledgeable service! Big thank you to Deon

It can be intimidating to do things that are of a dangerous nature while training with men. I found that out while training to ride motorcycles. Often times (especially lately) people want to avoid the idea that men & women have different needs & ways in which they learn, but for me personally i cannot ignore this fact, & I really didn't want a "tough guy" approach to my Firearm journey as an abuse survivor. Not that there's anything wrong with the fellas, but for my comfort, I really wanted a ladies' approach to the world of self-defense shooting and after a long search... I found the absolute QUEEN of the shooting range! Peggy Grangetto has changed my life with her Ladies Only gun training. She is a firearms EXPERT with many certifications and is extraordinarily knowledgeable and gentle with her teaching style. In the beginners course, you will learn all the basics in a safe, ego neutral environment where you can be comfortable. Half classroom, half gun range. I took her Ladies Only Beginner course and was able to take the test to get certified to purchase & own a Firearm, as well as spend a few hours shooting a .22 caliber pistol (let her know in advance if you want to take the certification test). Her classes are held at the Beautiful Oak Tree Gun Club in Newhall. Check out their Yelp as well if you're already experienced or are looking for a range in the SCV! Yesterday was my follow-up class, which was the Intermediate Ladies only Pistol course. This was an all gun range day with a 9MM pistol, myself, another student & Peggy. I'm learning BODY TRUST and focus, which is soooooo important to being effective in stopping an attack from an assailant while using a gun. If you are a woman seeking to train with firearms, and an want the feminine ego neutral approach, then you need Peggy. You will NOT regret the decision to take your power back. I'm so happy and empowered you guys. Beyond 5 stars! *Please note, Peggy doesn't ONLY teach women. All genders are welcome to her training, however the ladies only classes are SPECIFICALLY for women.

What sets Arvin apart is his ability to balance a great vibe and a sharp sense of humor with the extreme seriousness of the subject matter. He doesn't just teach you how to shoot; he spends a significant amount of time focusing on the legal consequences of self-defense shootings in California. This part of the class was eye-opening and essential--he makes sure you understand that the decision to pull the trigger is the absolute last resort and carries life-altering legal weight. The classroom portion was never dry because Arvin keeps everyone engaged, but he also has zero tolerance for ego or unsafe behavior, which I really appreciated as a student. The Range Experience: The qualification at the range was exceptionally well-managed. Arvin brought along three additional instructors, ensuring a very high instructor-to-student ratio. Having four professionals watching the line made the entire process feel incredibly safe and organized. They were helpful, calm, and focused on ensuring everyone followed protocol to the letter. If you are looking for an instructor who is professional, legally knowledgeable, and runs a tight ship while keeping the atmosphere welcoming, Arvin is your guy. Bottom line: If you want to be a responsible CCW holder in CA, train with Nationwide CCW. UPDATE: Regarding 1-star review from Gabe Ruediger. He wasn't expelled from the class because he asked instructor a question about "lethal weapon" registration. He was expelled (twice) due to a persistent pattern of aggressive behavior, verbal harassment of instructors and students, and a total lack of the emotional self-control required for safe firearm certification. I was in the same class with him and witnessed it all. The instructor handled the situation very professionally and gave him multiple opportunities to correct his behavior before finally asking him to leave for the safety of the class.

With that, it's difficult to explain how much better, more confident, and comfortable I am with a firearm since I started training with Edmond (OJ). His expertise in the field is apparent immediately, and he has a resume that is hard to beat. But that's half of it. He's a great teacher who has the master-level talent of identifying your skill level, correcting mistakes, and patiently pushing you to a higher level than you thought was possible in yourself. And you can double everything I said about CCW training. If you have a CCW license, but you're uneasy about the concept of carrying it in public, I cannot express how important good training will be to you and how much OJ has helped me.

    I had a great experience at Southwest Training Center and would highly recommend them to anyone…read morelooking for CCW training.   I recently took a CCW course. It was a full 2-day, 16-hour program, but the team did an excellent job making it both comfortable and enjoyable from start to finish. The training facility itself is clean, well-organized, and comfortable, which made a big difference during a longer course like this.   Their attention to detail really stood out. Everything was explained clearly, and they made sure everyone fully understood the material - not just to pass, but to be responsible and confident moving forward.   Big thanks to Bo, Mike, and Luis - all three are extremely knowledgeable, skilled, and professional. They bring real-world experience and create an environment where you feel comfortable asking questions and learning.   Also, a nice bonus... they provided lunch on day two, which was a great touch and shows how much they care about their students.   Overall, top-notch training and a great experience. I'd absolutely recommend Southwest Training Center to anyone serious about getting their CCW done right, or any other firearms or medical related training.

    I've enjoyed (or endured) a Lot of firearms training courses over the years, but Bo and Mike…read moreprovided classroom and range instruction that was second to none! While I learned much of what was being taught many years ago, Bo and Mikey were both very informative and entertaining! Their pleasant personalities, engaging teaching styles and obvious expertise turned what I thought was going to be sixteen hours of "detention" into a downright pleasurable learning experience!!! I'd recommend STC training to anybody looking to fulfill the necessary requirements to obtain a CCW, or to those interested in mastering various new shooting skills. I will Definitely be back for additional defensive handgun training, as I appreciate the way these humorous and talented professionals operate! The donuts and treats that were supplied at break time were also a great surprise!!! (I was even awarded a nice little prize for acing the final exam! WoooHooooo!!!) Two Thumbs Up to the guys and gals at Southwest Training Center!!! You Rock!!!
