About MSI Pistol Range

MSI Pistol Range is an indoor pistol range in Manchester, CT. One reviewer, a member since 2019, calls it a great indoor range with great people and great activities, and another points to a friendly atmosphere and chances to take part in all kinds of shooting disciplines.

Reviewers supply the practical detail. One visitor counts 10 well-sized ports on the range and distances of up to 25 yards. The same reviewer says it is home to the oldest bullseye pistol league in the country. A different reviewer calls it the home range for about half the teams in the Metropolitan Revolver League of Hartford, which shoots Precision Pistol on the 50 ft National Match Course in .22 lr, and says other shooting leagues are based there too.

Two reviewers describe ammunition limits. One says the backstop calls for plated ammunition, and another lists magnum and jacketed ammunition as not permitted. Several reviewers describe the people there as friendly or helpful. One calls most of the people associated with the range friendly, welcoming and helpful, and another says that over three visits they met four different range officers and all were helpful.

Retired Police Sergeant. I was asked to leave because my pistol was TOO LOUD. You gotta be kidding me...

Sometimes it's good. Sometimes it's not. Due to an "old style" backstop, this range requires plated ammo. Today was the second time they ran out of 9mm ammo for sale. This type of ammo is not available at any brick and mortar locations. I've tried a few different types of ammo that was classified as plated ammo, but each time were deemed "unapproved". This range desperately needs to update it's facility, have better supplies management, or provide adequate suppliers for their approved ammo. Not to mention the price for their "approved" ammo is not low. They charge $5 per box of 9mm more than the supplier they receive it from on top of their annual membership or per range visit cost. The benefits here are they are the least expensive around for range time, and the range is rarely, if ever crowded. Most of the people associated with this range are friendly, welcoming and helpful. The ammunition, target restrictions, and lack of hours of operation except for Saturday mornings are the only really issues. My personal hope is that more members will lead to a better facility/hours.
