DO NOT purchase firearms from this store! I am extremely disappointed with my experience at PWG Gun…read moreRange. I purchased a shotgun through their website based on the advertised price and availability, only to discover afterward that the pricing was incorrect and the firearm was not actually available as represented. Feels like a SCAM to get you trapped into purchasing from them only, because you can't ask for a refund, they force you to get in store credit. I went into the store to ask for an update and instead of honoring the advertised price or providing a full refund, I was told that due to a "new website" and "new purchasing system," they could only offer in-store credit. From a customer's perspective, that explanation is not acceptable. Businesses are responsible for ensuring that their advertised pricing and inventory information are accurate. Customers should not be expected to bear the consequences of internal system issues. What makes the situation even more frustrating is that I wanted to give you guys a second chance. I canceled my online order, took the in-store credit, ended up paying more money and tried to get a shotgun that was ordered in store from "their warehouse/supplier." I have been waiting more than two weeks for any meaningful update regarding my order. At the store, I was told by their retail worker Carson that it would be ordered without too long of a wait. After two weeks wait, I called in to check and was informed that the firearm is considered a special order and must first be ordered from a supplier, despite the website indicating a delivery timeframe of only 4-5 days and showing available in warehouse as I checked on their website (removed now after I told them about this issue, see attached photos). I have attached other prices that were listed on their website as well. This is false advertising/misleading prices to gain in store credit customers. The repeated explanation has been that their new processing and computer system prevents them from providing updates. Had I known that the firearm was not actually in stock and that there was no reliable timeline for delivery, I would not have made the purchase. Sportsman's Warehouse doesn't have these issues. I wanted to go to a place closer to home and give you guys a try, but I regret that now. Taking payment for a product advertised at an incorrect price, offering only store credit instead of a refund, and being unable to provide order status information for weeks creates a very poor customer experience. At this point, a full refund would be the appropriate resolution. I hope management addresses these issues, improves communication, and ensures that website pricing, inventory status, and delivery estimates accurately reflect reality so future customers do not experience the same problems.

I recently attended the EDC + Vehicle Level 1 course and found it to be highly worthwhile. This…read morecourse effectively combines critical skills for everyday carry with practical vehicle-based scenarios. From the outset, the focus on accuracy when drawing and shooting from concealment was essential, and the smooth progression to incorporating speed felt natural and intuitive. The instruction on shooting from various seated positions, including both the driver's side and passenger's side, was incredibly valuable--especially learning how to shoot effectively toward your strong hand side as well as across your body to the opposite side. It was great to have the opportunity to practice these techniques in a controlled environment and a great instructor. You can dry fire all day, but there's nothing like getting out and being able to train and learn these techniques with live fire. The sounds and adrenaline are very different from dry firing or simply shooting down a lane, making the experience much more realistic and beneficial. The drills, which included both individual and team exercises, were engaging and enhanced our interaction. Egos, if any, were left at the gate and Lee's teaching style stood out--his approach made the class enjoyable and interactive while ensuring that even those with minimal experience (me), as well as veterans with over a decade of shooting (including competition shooters), walked away having gained new insights. I highly recommend this course for shooters at any level. Even if you excel in competitions, this course prepares you for the unpredictability of real-life situations, equipping you with the skills needed for those critical moments. Thanks Lee!

These guys are top notch…read more I had a blast working with these guys. It's simple calm instruction with some great people. You will learn the ins and outs of CQB in the classroom then get to deploy those movements on the "live fire" part of the building. Speaking of the building they have the perfect one. The old Escondido police station makes for the perfect venue. It's got elements of several environments. The fact that it's partly broken down (but safe) adds to the ambiance of the place. And the instructors are nice and knowledgeable. Dave, the lead instructor, has loads of real world experience that he has off loaded into his staff. Matt was the one who worked with our crew for the day. He was able to teach us how to conquer the rooms and be effective. You could tell he knew what he was talking about! All in all, it's a place we will return to!!!

Warfighter Academy has taken over the old Escondido Police HQ and is turning it in to a school…read morefocusing on the next level of weapons training. This academy is a new concept in firearm and security training. This facility IS NOT a shooting range. The instructors here teach people of all walks of life and skills the next level in firearms handling. You can target shoot most anywhere but Warfighter will teach you what to do if confronted with an armed person. The techniques and tactics that are taught here are something that had been previously available only to top level military and special forces personnel. They have classes for everyone from stay at home moms to experienced military. I believe you will be able to buy and attend single classes or multiple thru a membership program. Classes will range in skill level and difficulty and you can progress from one class to the next by completing each lower level. They will teach everything from basic firearms handling and techniques to low light, no light and urban warfare training. I was able to attend one of their pilot classes recently and had a great time. The class I attended was almost half women which is awesome. The instructors are all former military combat veterans or law enforcement. They all have experience in their respective fields and have all been taught by the best in the world when it comes to firearms handling and tactics. The class consisted of part classroom instruction and part hands on using tactical/military style paintball guns. The hands on portion is video taped to allow you to review what you learned with the instructors then improve from there. The point of the classes is to improve your chances of winning a gunfight in most any situation. The class selection, amenitiies and products offered will increase as they get going. When I attended there was still some amount of re-modeling going on, but look for big things very soon. I am excited to come back here for another class soon!
