I am 1st time gun owner. The staff there were helpful and patient with all my questions. They recommended I take shooting lessons from Preshie Ronquillo which I did. She was awesome. By the end of that first hour I felt so much more comfortable with my gun. I was shooting all bullseyes after she helped me get past my flinching. I plan on continuing lessons with her. She not only has amazing technical teaching abilities, but also an ability to calm the nerves and anxiety that can come for new gun handlers. read more

The Hub is my Middle of the Road shop in Tucson. Prices are fair. Stock is hit or miss. Staffing runs from pretty decent to barely competent. Had ordered from their website and the delivery ticket showed that is was there, but it took some doing for them to find it. little disappointed with their cleaning supply section. I shop there infrequently and don't look forward to it. Parking is sketchy...it's RIGHT off Alvernon. read more

I came here with my parents to shoot at the pistol range. They have 2 side by side pistol lanes. The rifles/automatic lanes are on the opposite side of the small building. Everyone was really friendly. Make sure to show up early to sign waivers and rent any guns or buy ammo that you need. We rented a 22 pistol and the ammo was decently priced. Bring eye protection if you have it, otherwise you can rent that and the ear protection as well as buy targets. I will be back. read more

The basic pistol training course was phenomenal. Having never touched a gun or even seen one up close before, I was a bit intimidated walking in. Paul and Preshie are USCCA trainers and absolutely prioritize safety every step of the way. Preshie is gentle and encouraging, especially in the gun range. Paul is the epitome of patience and does an incredible job of communicating complex issues in a way that makes it easy to understand, even for a newbie like me. Paul really does do a great job of identifying where each person is at and meeting them there to help them grow their skill set and learn things the right way. As he says, perfect practice makes perfect. I can't wait until my next class! read more

While I did eventually get a partial remedy to the massive error committed by the Hub, I was never made whole. Add that to the way I was treated trying to even get that far, and I just can't give more than one star. I purchased a firearm, and asked some pretty specific questions. I didn't have the model number written down or anything before hand, but I knew what I wanted and what it should come with, including how many magazines and what size. The salesman confirmed what I was getting verbally, and I examined the rifle. The Hub doesn't let you examine the full kit before buying. They package it behind counter, and you can examine the firearm, but that's about it. That makes it really tough to find out they sold you a firearm with three 10-shot max magazines, when they were supposed to be 17, 23, and 23. Called immediately on finding out when I got home, 30 minutes later. Was told by a shift manager, basically "Tough luck, sale is final." Was told "even if you had caught it in the parking lot, we wouldn't exchange it [for the item I had asked for]." Was told "you got a chance to examine it" (not the magazines, I didn't). Was told they'd sell me the correct magazines at a discount. Was told they'd give me one other magazine. Absolutely will not give me the ones that should have come with the gun in the first place, because then I'd have "6 magazines!" But when I offered to exchange the other three, I was met with "We don't want them." Well, neither did I, nor did I ask for them. I was adamant that I be made whole for the purchase I had ask for, and that the purchase had been misrepresented. I described the salesman, and that I had asked specifically about the magazines. Then they told me they didn't have one of the magazines in the correct size to even exchange, and would not give me any of a greater value. After half an hour of not budging, and fearing I'd have to escalate to a civil complaint, they found a magazine the right size and agreed to exchange them. I drove 30 minutes back because I didn't think the offer would last to the next day. Found out when I got there that they'd decided to review the security footage after we had hung up to see if I was telling the truth. Somehow that wasn't an option while we were on the phone? They did finally apologize at that point for the error and made the exchange of the magazines. I never got the firearm with the threaded barrel that I had originally asked to purchase, even though they had on their own security system that I was misled. Magazine was as far as they'd go, and it was some of the worst treatment I've gotten as a customer. Between being treated with suspicion and having to fight tooth and nail when they HAD video evidence they could review to prove my case... And then still never get what I asked for and paid for? its just too much. If The Hub had listened to me, checked the tapes, and made it right by getting me the product that I asked for on video, this would have been a much different review. Instead, the follow up cemented that I will never do business here again. read more

I recommend The Hub for buying firearms. I've bought two firearms from their pawn shop recently. The prices were fair. The staff was outstanding regarding knowledge of the products. The pawn shop has a good selection used optics as well. I bought a Holosun, and it is perfect for my needs. Try them out. Meet the staff. The salesmen in the new gun department are also easy to speak with and extremely knowledgeable. I'll shop there again. read more

Great service and amazing selection of rifles. Love their Sig section!! Staff's willing to take time answer any questions.

I had high expectations of the Defensive Pistol Program, all were met. Main objectives were to become a better and more confident shooter in regards to carry. I developed a smoother draw from concealment, faster reloads and gained consistent accuracy to stop a threat from five yards. Upon completion, my main goal was met. As a first-time gun owner, new shooter (less than five years) with CCW permit, I did not have the confidence to carry. I do now -- not only the physical abilities, but also the mindset. There is a psychological commitment as well: one should be mentally prepared to draw and fire if a threat warrants that response. It's one thing to head out to the range for target practice, it's another altogether to train as if there is an imminent threat. Each session was fast paced, intense, challenging and fun. After receiving a drill's specific course of fire, much appreciated instruction was ongoing while shooting the drill reminding me of aspects such as tempo; when to go for speed, when to slow a bit for accuracy. Videos taken while shooting and post-session summaries helped cement what was taught. Instruction by Paul Parks was straightforward, clear and precise. Paul is a consummate professional who loves his job and it shows. He is dedicated to training and every minute I felt his 100% commitment to me improving my skills. I highly recommend DPP to new and seasoned shooters alike. One can always learn, improve old and develop new skills. And never forget: Proficiency is a must with firearms. read more

I took the USCCA Defensive Pistol Program taught by Paul Parks from The Hub, and it was fantastic. The pace was great, the drills were very useful and the trainer, Paul, was exceptional. I came out of the program way more equipped to concealed carry, and with a greatly improved level of confidence in my capabilities. Paul was able to correct accuracy issues and was excellent at redirecting where necessary. The overall experience was very good, and it was also fun! I will look to take more USCCA courses from Paul in the future. read more

I attended the AZ CCW course. Great class and Paul is a great instructor. Very informative on AZ laws and where to find them. Paul is knowledgeable and was cracking jokes to lighten the mood. I purchased the enhanced CCW course. Well worth the money. At the end Paul has simulated scenarios that he puts you in. Great introduction into fight or flight. How situations can escalate quickly, keeping your head on a swivel and so much more. This course is well worth it and they offer many more classes. The store is big and they have a lot to chosen from. The Hub should be your one stop shop for anything you need. read more

Bought my first gun, Came in with a list of 10 pistols, the list made the guys happy. Came in the next day and tested 4 guns in the range with Tony. I felt at easy with the knowledge and expertise and patience as well as SAFETY! One on one personal attention was greatly appreciated. I love this place. I've checked out 3 other gun stores and read views on other Gun ranges, I was referred here by a friend when I moved back to Tucson. I will be waiting inline to use this range after working for ammo. read more

The Hub Tucson - Brothers and former military theses guys. - Firearm Training Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Yesterday, I was fortunate to take the basic pistol fundamental foundation course with Paul Parks. Paul has over 20 years of firearms training. To begin, he quickly responded to emails, which made the signup process easy and smooth. The course itself was enjoyable. We started the class by discussing basic safety and the skills needed for marksmanship. To conclude the lesson, Paul took time out of his day to demonstrate how to take my Shadow Systems MR920 gun apart and clean/oil it properly for future use. I came out of this training seminar with a better appreciation and knowledge of firearms. I can not say enough positive things about my overall experience at the hub. The staff is very knowledgeable and willing to go above and beyond the call of duty for their clients. As someone newer to firearms, the team has been more than helpful in making recommendations, giving their opinions, and having everything I needed in stock. I would highly recommend the Hub to anyone looking for an elite dealer, training center, and shooting range in the Tucson area. Thanks again! read more

Drove 45 min to this gun store after talking with an associate about a form 1. Associate told me they had it on their computer and could help and do a form 4 as well. Some bearded small guy told me to do the form 1 on my own. Well what about the form 4, yes we can do that here. How about let's do both like I was told before driving 45 min to your store. Stay away from this place! Apparently helping customers is not their thing read more

Firearms training with Paul at The Hub was hands down one of the best courses I've ever taken, and I've taken many classes post compulsory education. After high school and college, I've pursued my interests in adult life vigorously and have done classes/schooling in many fields including welding, machining, bicycle frame building, and bicycle mechanics, among others. I've been lucky to have had some great instructors throughout these pursuits that have given me the confidence and fundamentals to make a living in some of the above mentioned fields. When it came to firearms, until my course with Paul, I hadn't shot any type of firearm since I was a young boy. That was about 35 years ago, and it was basic target shooting with a .22 caliber rifle. For some time I had been considering learning how to use firearms and wanted to pursue learning how to use a handgun first. While there has always been a bit of "natural" nervousness going into any new pursuit/class in the past, I had always been relatively confident going into previous training in other fields. However, I was admittedly scared of firearms and was pretty nervous going into class. Paul's demeanor, attitude, and instructional skills began to melt my nervousness quickly. The course was extremely well-organized, well-structured, and delivered at a perfect pace. Going in I was just hoping to be a bit less nervous, learn safety fundamentals, and some type of proficiency at shooting (at least for a beginner). I did get all that, but also much more than I could have ever imagined. The first part of the class had detailed explanations of safety and range etiquette. By the time we got to live fire, I was already feeling more confident than I would have expected. The live fire training itself was delivered with the same excellence as the rest of the aspects of the course. Paul was able to correct mistakes quickly and help me start to build some good fundamentals, again in a clear, concise, and comfortable manner. We ended the course with instruction on cleaning firearms, which I was not expecting. We even broke one of my firearms completely down, giving it a full cleaning. I would not hesitate to recommend Paul/The Hub to anybody looking for firearm instruction/training. I'm very excited to be continuing on with my training at the Hub with Paul soon. read more

Thursday 3/21/24 I got an adjustable gas block for my rifle. I went to their shooting range today to adjust it. I was told that to adjust the block, I would have to take the hand guard off to adjust the block. Their gunsmith made the hex screw so tight that I couldn't get the hand guard lost. When I asked for help, they gave me a hex tool with did not fit any of the hex screws, when I asked for more help, the range person said "we just install the parts" and that he can't help me. To me that means there's no warranty, or guarantee to the workmanship they do. Friday3/22/24 The owner contacted me very soon after I posted my review and invited me back to solve the problem. He apologized and said he, or Cole, or Brandon, or Mac would square me away. I came back to the store this morning and Cole helped me out immensely. He got the problem figured out and the rifle is working great. I also got an apology from the Range person from yesterday. Please don't fire him. Prior to Thursday, he had helped me out alot when ever I was in the store. An "Oh shit" shouldn't erase a lot of "Atta boys" read more

I've spent a pretty good chunk of time in gun shops all over town these last few weeks, and I've got to say it... The Hub really is in a league of its own. I don't know how they're doing it, but they are managing to maintain a great selection of firearms for purchase. I have seen a lot of empty shelves at a lot of shops, but here I didn't get the feeling that I was picking through leftovers. All of the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. No pressure to make a sale, while being engaged and happy to chat with you about any questions you might have. It's not unusual for gun shops to have frustrated and rushed staff right now, but these guys are handling the stressful 2020 climate like pros. The staff are ready to to meet the needs of the buyer, whether it's a newbie wanting to learn the basics (without being pressured into a purchase) or an experienced gun enthusiast looking for something new to add to the collection. Also if you're a lady trying to find somewhere that does not feel like you're out of place at a boy's club - this is the one! A HUGE advantage is the attached 2 lane indoor air conditioned gun range! Reasonable prices and good selection for equipment rentals and ammo. Finally, my favorite part of the Hub experience was the training. I took the 3 hour one-on-one training with Paul, and I couldn't recommend it more. Paul is an amazing instructor. His style is easy-going but very comprehensive. He had no trouble answering any questions or communicating ideas. If you're wanting to be able to handle a weapon confidently, this course is a no-brainer. If you're wanting to refine your shooting or work on something specific, Paul also does shorter skill-builder training sessions. Check out their website for a list of all the different training and certifications they do! I'm so glad I found this place. I have a feeling it's going to keep me coming back again and again. read more

Great staff. The Reuben is outstanding. The Hub is a must go to when we visit Tucson.

The Hub is definitely going to become our regular go to for purchases, training and practice. We have visited several local area stores looking to get carry guns. The reception from the team at The Hub was polite and friendly, markedly different from others in town. Paul, in particular, was very helpful with our questions on the Sig options (my fave!) and he happens to be an instructor. All the staff behind the counter we have spoken to or who helped us were nothing but professional and friendly. The ambience is welcoming and relaxed. They were patient with my questions. We had our first three hour private lesson. We have had basic instruction in the past. We chose to take a refresher since it has been years. We wanted the three hour private class to help us lay out a path for regular practice and instruction so we can become responsible and confident in our use of defensive weapons. Paul's explanations were clear. He offered us options and explained why certain stances could be better for consistent accuracy. (My arthritis definitely is a factor and he made it easy for me to understand what I needed to do to be able to shoot consistently). Looking forward to the new range they have planned and now want to visit the Lakeside location --just for the heck of it! Cannot recommend enough! read more

Buying a firearm for my home protection has been on my to-do list for over a decade. The other day I decided to finally go look at some guns and found that HUB Tucson was closest to me. Being a little out of place as a single woman in a gun shop, Paul Parks thoughtfully helped me look at several options to suit my needs and provided a ton of information I never thought of as part of my purchase decision. He suggested I take a one-on-one class to explore which gun felt best before making a big financial decision as he's also an instructor for group and personal lessons. The PHG 101 class I took from Paul was very informative, interesting and I am intrigued as I thought I was just going to buy a gun, but now I may have a new hobby! I'll be buying my Sig next week and exploring more classes as I know there is much more to explore. If you need a good release/outlet during this pandemic madness I highly suggest a class from Paul to test drive some guns, you know never when you'll need one. read more

Probably the nicest staff I have ever had to deal with here in Tucson. Still very new to the hobby and Oscar was able to answer all my questions and explained that I can use .223 in a 5.56 barrel which I had heard but, wasn't sure about. Honestly, I plan to only shop here from now on. Staff were friendly and didn't seem at all pushy. They ask if you're looking for something specific and if you're just looking around, they give you your space and let you relax. I walked the whole store and came to Oscar for questions. He even installed a hand grip for me on my AR because I was worried I was going to mess up my hand guard for some reason. Highly recommend The Hub. Cannot wait to go back! Also really decent prices on ammo! read more

THEIR INDOOR GUN RANGE IS UNSAFE! Earlier today I was firing my pistol (semi-automatic S&W 9M) at the range. I was struck in the chest BY MY OWN PROJECTILE in the chest, which drew blood. I was the only person on the range at the time, and all of the rounds fired were close to the center of the target (i.e. No low or high shots that might ricochet). The bullet obviously ricochetted off the back wall and came straight back at me. TOTALLY UNSAFE! I showed the range operator my wound, and told him I was not going to be shooting anymore, and I wanted a full refund for my expenses (which they did). read more

I just completed the CCW course with Paul and it was incredibly informative. Paul not only went above and beyond with his information but he also added his own humor which was so much nicer than hearing someone just read information off of a slide show. We also got to use the MILO simulation program which added another level of skills to the course, and gives you a bit of an adrenaline rush. I would recommend this course to beginners, intermediates or people who just want to renew some information. No only was Paul amazing but the staff that was at the store were very pleasant and welcoming. After you register for your course online they email you everything you need to know, and make the class very inviting. Thank you so much read more

I been coming here from the day they open, made multiple purchases and even brought in multiple friends to purchase their first gun. What I like best is they do not treat new people like shit, they understand that the new people need help and takes the time to help them, the friends I have taken there or recommending to go there have always told me the positive experience they had. I am a admitted Sig Fan boy and they are a Sig elite dealer, they also have a cool MILO virtual range that is a great training tool. read more
