Philadelphia Training Academy PHILADELPHIA - Hours, Reviews & Deals

I've always been a fan of guns; enjoyed all types of gun-based content from Youtube videos like Hickok45, Honest Outlaw, Tactical Toolbox, Colion Noir, to John Wu action movies, and played all types of games/simulations with them, and this was my first real-life experience, and I have 0 regrets. I came here and obtained my first home-defense/conceal-carry handgun, and the process was straight-forward, friendly, and clear throughout. Can't ask for more than that. Pay no mind to the other reviews about racism, because I did not experience that. I observed how they treated persons of color in my 2 visits here from all adult ages, and they were all treated with respect, me included. "Racism" and "Nazi" are 2 words that are thrown around too much these days that they lose its meaning, so I had no doubts or fears going into this place. They were very accommodating as well, and the owner even helped me get a great deal online on a Walther PDP Pro-E Compact. They do have an impressive array of other weapons I was potentially looking into as well, but if they don't have what you're looking for, you can definitely order with them in-store, which I recommend over doing an FFL transfer. Have your ID and a debit/credit card for identification purposes (I used my social/state ID). I filled out some paperwork, processed a deposit for the special order on a Friday, and it came in on Wednesday the following week with 2-day air. Weekend processing can be iffy, so any day earlier in the week is better for consistent shipment times. Then I received a text alert saying it arrived, went to pick it up, completed further paper work (signatures/background check stuff), and I was done. I got to work/experience with 4 of the employees, and they were all fantastic. Thanks for making this first-time experience a smooth and memorable one, just as smooth as the Walther you help me get :). I look forward to using the range as a new club member, and doing further business with this place. 5/5!

This place is fantastic! Everyone on site was incredibly nice, welcoming and helpful. Great facility and great selection for firearm purchase. I obtained a membership, shot at the facility and made a firearm purchase. They recently renovated their facility as well - it’s very clean, safe and nice. Definitely recommend!
