About Sensibly Armed Personal Protection Training and Indoor Pistol Range

Sensibly Armed Personal Protection Training and Indoor Pistol Range is an indoor shooting range and gun shop in Reading, PA, with handgun shooting and instruction in its name. Reviewers describe a clean, well-lit range, and one mentions a showroom alongside it. Two reviewers note that rifles are not shot there: one says the shop does not allow you to shoot rifles, and the other wishes it had a rifle range.

Training is a recurring theme in the reviews. Several reviewers took the basic handgun class, among them beginners, and one describes an instructor who spotted their errors once they reached the range and helped correct them. One couple who started with the class are now members and try to practice once a week, and another reviewer, who took a class there, says they have shot at the range every week for two years. A different reviewer, who came in from out of state to shoot with friends, found the range clean and describes the check-in and check-out process as a breeze.

The shop side sells firearms and ammunition, and one reviewer lists firearms, mods, hardware and targets among the stock while another points to concealed carry pistols and accessories. One reviewer chose the shop as the FFL for an online order, and reviewers also describe bringing firearms in for repairs and optic mounting. One reviewer mentions a selection of gun rentals alongside ammo and guns for purchase, and several reviewers talk about membership plans for regular range time.

Handgun classes, gun rentals and indoor range time in Reading, PA all come up in the reviews, along with a shop that sells firearms and ammunition.

Sensibly Armed is the only gun shop I’ll trust with my guns. Whether I need a trigger installed or something fixed, I’m always welcomed, more often than not have whatever I need done is actually done on the spot, and am treated with the utmost respect. My Sig Sauer P211 had a mounting screw break off in my slide and they were able to fix the issue at an incredibly fair price and even remounted and zeroed my optic free of charge. If you’re in the Reading area and need an honest gun shop with a great staff, look no further than Sensibly Armed!

Anyone leaving a 1-star review because of the staff’s “attitude” was most likely sternly corrected for not following range rules. When firearms are involved, rules are there to keep everyone safe, and mistakes need to be corrected immediately. This was my first indoor range experience, and the staff were welcoming, knowledgeable, and happy to answer any questions. The range was very clean, prices were reasonable, and they have a great selection of firearms, mods, hardware, targets, and more. I recently purchased a Glock 43X MOS, and they recommended a Ghost trigger component and spring kit. I was hesitant, so they let me try a similar setup first. I loved the lighter pull and clean reset, and they even installed everything for free. Great staff, great service, and a place that makes you feel welcome. I’ll definitely be back!

My wife and I took the basic handgun class. James was a great instructor. Very knowledgeable and patient. He still comes onto the range to check on us when we’re there. We’re now members and try to practice once a week. Highly recommend the basic handgun class.

Unlike some other ranges with uptight workers that are bothered by you even asking simple questions, everyone here is so helpful and pleasant. Great place to visit, they make you feel welcomed immediately.

As a first time shooter, this shop/shooting range is awesome. Took the basic handgun class 4 months ago, my instructor was very patient and knowledgeable about teaching someone who never touched a firearm in her life. All the staff make it comfortable for a “new” shooter such as myself; they don’t make me feel like my questions are silly. I highly recommend anyone who shoots or is new to shooting to come here.
