Good pistol range is SD?

[J.D.Allen]

What range do you guys recommend in SD for pistol? I'm going to be taking a new shooter who is disabled and in a wheelchair. Preferably a place open till at least 7 on a Sunday???

[chillincody]

Id say P2k range in el cajon the indoor area would be perfect for a disabled person in a wheelchair think there open til 9 - 10 pm

[J.D.Allen]

OK thanks I'll check that out.

What area of town are you going to be in? P2K might be a haul depending on where you are.

#1 choice, Police Firing Range on Federal Blvd. $10 to the public (P2K range charges by the hour) Open all day. Yes, they are open to the public

#2 choice, Discount Gun Mart (Mission Bay or Santee)

#3 choice, Iron Sights (Oeanside, CA)

Do people get hassled at the police range?

Unless things changed on the civi side, they close at 1500 hrs.

Agreed.

DGM Santee is my go to spot for handgun shooting.

I have never seen it, don't act stupid and all will be well.

You mean for being non-LEO? I've never had any issues there.

The times I've gone, the place has generally been nearly empty with just a few other shooters.

It might not be the best location for a first ime shooter as the targets are at a fixed distance (25 yards??? - I forget). They also say "no beginners" on their flyer (or at least did so over a year ago)

Good luck.

I'd go with P2K if it's not too far for you.

I took a handicapped shooter to Iron Sights about two months ago. She loved it!

They're open until 10pm every day and it's unlimited time, so you can teach as slowly as you want.

The SD PD Range is a great place to shoot. I go there every Saturday morning. Those that know, there are very few shooters there on a 40 position line, there are normally no more than a dozen at anytime. Never a wait to shoot.

If you are not handicapped and can climb stairs, then it won't be a problem, however, if the handicap go alone, they would need help setting up targets as the only access is via an underground tunnel to the target area that has ten steps. (Watch the top step as it's not the same height as the others and most trip on it.)

As stated earlier, open to the public from 09:00 to 15:00, $10 all day, 25 yard only, no intermediate yardage....AND it's outdoors! It does have a covered line though so no sun or rain can stop you from shooting your appointed target. When you pay at the window and sign-in, you will get a target so you don't have to bring your own. Pistols, revolvers, modern or black powder only no rifles or shotguns.

The place could use some paint, but I call it home.

I was looking at the SD PD revolver range flyer, and it says "no jacketed .45 ammo"... Really? You can only shoot lead in .45 acp? What about .40 s&w?
