Thread: LAX Firing Range

I went to a LA gun range back in 1996 , it was 6 blocks from the center of downtown LA , in a large wharehouse , they just wanted the same thing , ID or passport , they had a gunshop and rental range & coffee shop all in one , had 30-40 different pistols available to shoot , a lot of yanks would go to try a few models they where thinking of buying , to narrow it down to the right ONE .
I used new stuff & stuff that was too small to shoot in NZ , ie the S&W 640 hammerless J frame 5 shot 38spl , the new SS PPK , Beretta M21 etc & new Glocks etc .

Just asked for ID , what pistol I wanted , amount of ammo I wanted & type of target I wanted & did I know how to use it , I said yes & tired 6 pistols 1st time , few days later went back again .

From my experience of rental ranges they fall into 2 types , normal local rental ranges ( for locals to use & as such they are quite cheap ) , and the ones geared towards newbies & visitors/tourists ( these ones are very , very expensive , so much so , I usually have a little laugh and wolk straight out , once I see the prices etc ) .
