Philadelphia Training Academy

This is hands down the best firearm store and shooting range in the Philadelphia area. The owner is welcoming and personable, and you can tell right away that they go out of their way to make sure every customer feels accommodated. The shop carries an excellent selection of both high-quality used firearms and top name-brand options. After just one visit, I am already convinced to join— the membership is affordable and offers great value amenities. The range itself is modern, well-maintained, and equipped with everything you need for target practice at varying distances. The range officer was also very nice and offered support and advice where needed. An inclusive environment for those worried about racism. 10/10 -Luke

The staff are focused. Classes are book based. The instructors teach well & take time into your work.

Best gun range in Philadelphia. Top of the line equipment with the most talented staff.

Honestly very disappointing experience. If I could give this a 0 star I would. The first time I went here the experience was great, a white Lady and black male there would joke around with us and what not. But apparently today when I came for a range, all respectful and polite, there was a white male there already talking to us in a rude manner shading his head as we enter. When I asked him for lane, he said the range was closed, but I can clearly see others at the range while 3 lanes were empty on there cctv monitor. Now I don’t know if it’s because of my race or what, but I’ve seen similar reviews of them being racist to other customers. Honestly a very big let down. Rather just stick with “Firing Line” where they treat everyone with respect and like humans.

I took my ccw this week, all the personnel were very nice and polite, especially the instructor Chris very helpful, 100% recommended.

If you are a black man or woman just don’t go here ,they will make you feel very uncomfortable,definitely racist here & you will be profiled.Took my sons mother here to buy her first firearm & it was a horrible experience,I’m law enforcement,i shouldn’t have to tell you that or show you that in order to be treated like a human. Kept mention ATF rules when I’ve been in other gun shops and never got treated like this.

I really enjoyed training at this place. I just completed my act two thirty five license here. Staff was very knowledgeable about all the questions I had. Super helpful with my needs. To sum it up, clean friendly acknowledgeable, I recommend training and taking classes at this location.
