Find a range in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania has seen its share of gun clubs being closed down and trying to find ranges beyond 100yds within the Philadelphia area is very difficult. There are still a few gun clubs with 200+ yard ranges in about 2hrs or less of Philadelphia and they are mostly private ranges. Check out our website for information about some of them and please feel free to add info to help others find out too.

Something like a 1911 has a questionable reliability track record depending on the conditions they are used in and the type of magazines they are using. Pistol magazines have evolved and improved as much as firearms and the reality is metal guns aren’t in the same category as polymer guns just based on lubrication and climate conditions. There are many firearms out there that will function reliable if lubricated properly and cleaned properly, but polymer guns are the future.
