I decided to drop in and test out the Glock Pmags I received in the secret Santa exchange here and figured I'd drop a few thoughts on the range.
The mags are friggin awesome. Drop free without a problem and the baseplate with finger indents made mag changes great.
Quickshot pros:
Clean, modern, sleek.
Had faucets in the lobby for washing hands after being on the range.
Firearm prices were reasonable (not great, but not ridiculous like some places) and a decent selection of handguns.
Range time cost is very fair and very competitive for the area.
Cons:
They didn't trim the fasteners they used to secure the sound dampener to the wall. As a result, there are inch long little spikes all over the walls.
The range was friggin hot. Ventilation seemed fine, it was just hot.
Distance markers were painted only on the walls and we'll over a foot thick.
Range supervision was garbage. There was one employee on the range 'working' with an attractive young woman. I'm not sure if he was doing actually instruction or just trying to lay pipe.
While he was ignoring the rest of the range, an older gentleman faced the rear while fiddling with his firearm (not sure if cleaning or clearing a jam) and two lanes commences pointless rapid fire that hit everything but their targets.
Of particular note was the .50BMG brass on the ground. Seriously, fucking 50 at an indoor range...
Other notes:
Lighting was by far the brightest I've ever seen on an indoor range. I'm not convinced this is a Con, but I also can't call it a Pro. There were friggin lights everywhere.
The range mechanicals were very basic, but functioned nicely. Other area ranges have more advanced target control, but it often doesn't work.
