In my experience, one of the best membership and firearm rental rates for an indoor range in LA County. Even as a non-member, you're able to bring your own ammo for rental guns. Good ventilation and cool rangemasters who allow a reasonable amount of freedom for practice, depending on how many people are there. read more

First time visiting this gun range since it's near by my home. I really enjoyed the staff's assistance and professionalism. Miguel was on point and very professional and knowledgeable. Gave me pointers as a first time gun owner. 100% recommended! read more

Friendly staff. First time I visited this range. Glad to know they're open on Christmas Eve. It felt like a supervised session but glad the staff helped with a jam. Not the prettiest range but get the job done read more

Range Safety officer is always very safety focused. He even noticed some very minor deficiencies in my handling and arming which gives me confidence in his dedication to running a very safe range for everyone. I have noticed he even watches when I am packing up to leave to ensure my weapon is unloaded and transported safely. Very helpful instruction if you want it but not pushed on you. Rarely crowded and if you plan on practicing a lot the yearly membership is well worth it. They require your FSC to use the range which I like. read more

Have been a member for less than a years with this range, but it is the best I have been to. Emilio is a great range master. Does not make you feel judged whether beginner ir advanced. Great range. read more

First time there, had a great experience. Was nice having an instructor in there with you to make sure everyone was operating safely and offer advice on questions that I had. All round awesome time, will definitely be back!! read more

I called to see what tactical vest or what brands they have to offer and receptionist clearly did not want to be on the phone and she did not want to provide service to me. I even asked what they had to offer and she just said we do sell vest but only low quality vest only. Lol. She put it out there that they do not sell SafeLife brand even though I did not bring that up. she said "is that all". So rude. Definitely a red flag. Don't do business here, they do not know how to troubleshoot questions. She hung up on me as well. I even asked what sizes they had to offer and no response. I was respectful and I even told her to have a nice day before she hung up. Smh read more

This is a Great place to get your fsc and an even better range. Shout out to Emilio for being an awesome instructor to have around while shooting he's a really down to earth guy with you and adds to the fun while you're there. For new timers they also sell a decent selection of guns and you can even pay in payments which was mind blowing to find out overall deserves better ratings. read more

They only allow pistol caliber and shotgun that's it. The range is only 15 yards which is doable for pistol. It's going to cost you more if you share lane. read more

I've been coming here for over a year. This is my go-to local range. The staff here is awesome (shout out to Miguel). They offer a variety of training courses for a good price, and I just can't recommend them enough. I ended up getting a one-year membership to shoot for an hour for free all year. read more

This is a great small range that I happen to come across after doing some research online. Have had multiple conversations with Daniel and he's been nothing but very informative and helpful with all questions that I've had. He's super knowledgeable and will go out of his way to make sure you are informed about your choices. Customer service is top notch and they offer several different services on top of different courses. It's a great place to take the FSC test or get your passport photo taken. I highly recommend checking out Marshall Security Training Academy & Range. read more

Listen, I've been to a few ranges (LAX, FT3,Burroughs Canyon) to name a few, but this place has everything you need or want all in a small package.. I was referred by a friend and when I went I was trying to zero my dot on my gun.. Miguel is the owner and the RSO.. took me back to the 5 lane range we talked a bit as I was trying to get my zero on.. he asked me if he could help. He tinkered for a couple clicks and My Sig is On the money.. Very great place to go shoot if you don't like a lot of people and want a more personable feel at the range can't say enough about Miguel my man is great.. go visit now!! read more

Don't know why it's 3.5 stars, truly. Very professional establishment with the most helpful people. Took a couple of friends to get FSC's here and it went all smooth. Me and my buddies have memberships here for the indoor range and RSO Emilio has always helped and gave tips to help on stance, finger placement, etc. Highly recommend! read more

My family and I had an amazing time at this gun Range in our hometown of Compton! Daniel and Alejandra were so amazing. They had great customer service and were very professional and intellectual in their field. We took the certified test first and Daniel knew all the answers to the test which was super impressive to me when grading our papers. He taught us in a hands on manner and had tons of patience as we were all beginners. This was a fun and educational day for my family and made my uncles birthday that much more special we will definitely be coming back to purchase firearms read more

Great place to come and do basically anything under the sun in regards to Security, law enforcement, and first aid. They allowed me to get my guard card, exposed firearm, oc spray, baton, and first aid certificate in one weekend. The owner is super humble, welcoming, and informative. His instructors were knowledgeable and very patient with me throughout the whole process. Expanded my mind and knowledge in many different ways. Strongly Recommended. read more

Hey guys Alex here came here to get credentialed guys we're super informative broke it all down for you they keep things simple and easy for you here and there indoor range is top notch huge recommendation for anyone looking to get into the guarding world read more

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. I reach out them through their site to ask them simple question about when do they give firearm security certificate since I'm interested in taking the test. They responded with saying to call number and ask for darline. I called and ask for her and the females that answer just ask who I was then just hang up on me when I proceeded to say my name. Sorry but you just lost my business and taking it else where. This place needs better customer service. Don't even bother wasting your time reaching out to them. read more

Was recommended this place by a fellow Coworker, and Daniel Pearson made the class as knowledgeable and as great as could be! My time spent there was GREAT and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place to acquire your firearm needs To anyone of all skill levels! Dan The Man! Thank You For Your Service! Definitely coming back! read more

I am a returning customer because I appreciate how they do business. So a while a ago I got my FSC there and the instructor played a video to help you be prepared to take your test. They print and laminate your card for you. I returned today to use the range with my friend. I love that they only let people on the range who have the FSC. Also unlike other ranges I experienced the instructor is with you to help. Miguel made my friend and I feel so comfortable and I feel like my confidence and my skill in this area has grown so much. We both decided to pay for the membership to have unlimited range time. Miguel have us so much helpful feedback and a pep talk really encouraging us as women to practice. Pleasure be advised the range opens at 10 though the rest of the services begin at 9. read more

Marshall Security Training Academy & Range - My target - Vocational & Technical School Near Me - Compton, California

Took a class here and it covered everything from A-Z. The penal codes and laws as well as certain scenarios that could present and some you didn't. Lola is the woman at the front who very helpful and helped me with my holster and kept me from buying a new one (that had nothing to do with the class). Everyone I came in contact with there was helpful, hands on and encouraging. I'm going back to take a few more classes. If you haven't been, go. It's in the area. read more

Love this place they are very professional and serious when it comes down to difficult scenarios. They will brake down and are open to questions during the training process. I have visited them before when they where on Virgil in LA. They have a lot to offer and are very friendly, I trust them and wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Great experience from start to finish. We were created very warmly by Lolah who explained to us the process and what we need to do. My friend didn't have a his license on him so they explained to us that we needed to retake the test but it would be easy. Sure enough it was a very quick and painless process. Once in the actual range, the instructor (Miguel) was very informative and helpful. He was there to answer any questions and offer advise whenever needed. Other than that he let us do our think and enjoy the range. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back. read more

Came in to get my live scan done for finger prints. My girlfriend and I made an appointment and we're seen immediately upon arrival. It did take over 1 hour to get all the paperwork ready and for us to get scanned... also cost 90 bucks each (but that is expected for out of pocket live scan cost). Staff was friendly and knew what they were doing. The owner even came out and talked to us a little, which is cool that he is clearly concerned about his customers happiness. read more

Marshall Security Training Academy & Range - Cool pictures with famous people - Vocational & Technical School Near Me - Compton, California

I had my first shooting experience last Saturday. I wA very nervous but Miguel was so amazing!!! He made me feel very comfortable. When I finished I felt like it was second nature. I will highly recommend Marshall Security Training Academy read more

I highly recommend Marshall Security Academy. They are professional, efficient and good listeners to suit your needs. This place is indeed the ultimate Security Academy with a long history of success. "My only regret is Not Knowing about them before" Every person working there has something positive and unique to teach you. But most importantly; they all work as a team. When I saw their lobby wall loaded with pictures of famous movie stars who interacted with Marshall Security Academy Staff ; at first I was a little shy. In my mind I was wondering " This top notch company is expensive and only movie stars can afford to be here. "I was wrong" They're so cool treating every customer like a movie star, with respect and their prices down to earth. I have completed through Marshall's Security Academy my OC Certification Class, my TASER Certification Class, my BATON PERMIT and today Saturday I will attend The Advanced Handcuff Class. It is an honor to be trained by Marshall Security Academy. Thank you Edmon Muradyan Thank you Captain Daniel Pearson for service to our country and for your effective teachings. Thank you to all the staff working there. read more

Great place and very friendly staff. Taking all the necessary classes to get my guard card/exposed firearm card. Captain Daniel Pearson was very informative and took his time to explain things in detail. They also work with you to get all the things need you need done in a quick timely manner. read more

What can i say i wish i could give them more then 5 stars. The staff is supper frienley. That place is also under new ownership. So if your looling for your first aid cert firearm traing even a CCW course i would give this place a chance. Its the best bang for your buck. read more

Seems as though you will have to stay on top of them as far as paperwork and procedure goes. I purchased a weapon, asked them if they had everything they needed, and waited the 10 days. On the 11th day, I went to pick up the weapon and they told me that hadn't submitted my paperwork yet. They basically had to resubmit the paperwork. This was AFTER I already paid for the weapon. Overall, I find it to be very unprofessional. read more

I highly recommend Marshall Security Training Academy and Range. I took a firearm safety course, it was very educational and well taught by instructor Daniel Pearson. After completing my course I proceeded to go to the range where I was taught to safely handle a firearm by range safety officer Miguel Garcia who was patient and thorough. All the employees are professional and friendly. I have recommend Marshal Security Training Academy and Range to friends and family. read more

Had a great experience at marshall security training academy and the whole process was smooth. The last training school I went to basically just gave me a skim the ugh and didn't really help with answers I got wrong but here my instructor went in depth and even shared some personal stories of his time working as a guard Wich cleared up alot of the confusion I had about arresting and assisting an arrest. read more

In July of 2020, I took the Exposed Firearms Course to renew my firearms permit that had expired. I found the entire staff to be very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. I was so happy with them and the service they provided me, that I signed up for a range membership, and I try to go in least one a month to fire on their range. With that, I have access to a range master who's actually helped me improve my shooting. They're also very helpful and patient. I know this from personal experience as I've bugged them lately with FFL questions.:-) I've only really interacted with Alejandra, Lola, Daniel, and Miguel, and they're always very welcoming whenever I approach them. Based on my experience, I'd recommend this company. read more

I learned a lot from the Personal Firearm Course. After completing the course, I feel at ease and confident handling a handgun. Miguel, the instructor is knowledgeable, professional, and calm. Also, the owner and staff (Lola in particular) are friendly and down-to-earth. Thanks for everything! read more

This place is amazing! The people are friendly and helpful. Cpt. Pearson especially! All the training I did with him was amazing and the quality of examples and explanations were so helpful and interesting! If this is the field you want to get into this is the place to go to. read more

Had the opportunity to visit Marshall Security for information about their safety classes. Edmon, and his entire staff were top notch and showed major love. Me and my daughter took a safety class with Daniel (who was very thorough and knowledgeable) - he took his time and explained everything in detail. While on the range, he went over proper shooting techniques and made suggestions on being more efficient - sure he was talking to my daughter because I'm ex-military and know it all!! After Daniel shot a double "bullseye", twice, I started to listen!! Maybe that's why he's the instructor and I was the student!! Can't wait to get back up there. Really made us feel welcome. Thanks, Edmon (and the young lady who first helped us, who I am embarrassed that I don't recall her name. She was really nice), Daniel for a great experience!! read more

If I could give them 0 starts I would. I have never had a worse experience in my entire life than having to purchase my firearm through them. Waited 26 days where only 10 days were the mandated california cool down period. Purchased on Sept 21st they failed to submit DROS until Oct 7th I have the receipt and emails to prove all my paperwork was submitted on the 21st. So it took them 16 days to submit my DROS in those 16 days I called multiple times with no response until Oct 7th when they some how were able to give me an exact 10 day window. Previously by an employee I was told the 10 day wait was 10 business days not including sat or sun instead of the 10 24hr periods as stated by CA DOJ. They refused to acknowledge the mistake on thier part and blamed the "system" saying that sometimes it takes the "system" longer to accept paperwork. Like previously stated though on the 7th they were able to provide me a 10 24hr periods to the time that I called in at. Just over all worse than having to deal with MEP when joining the military. Would not recommend this business not even to my worst enemy. DO NOT SHOP HERE AVOID AT ALL COST if possible shop and shoot and train somewhere else more professional with people that are up to date and keep up with 2A news and actually wish to support the community. read more

I'm giving this place a 5 star due to the great staff. They treated me like family (never met the people). The owner was very helpful with tips on how to shoot and was very friendly. I will definitely recommend this place. read more

I ask the Department of Justice to remove this place from being an FFL dealer. I went in there today to do a private party transfer for two pistols and they charged me $97 per pistol. I felt like I was raped and beyond. Total came out to be $194 total. That's ridiculous. I will never spend a $1 at this place in my life. That's an abuse what they're doing there. Any other place would have charged me $58 out the door. read more
