The Kurt Gobang Show!

Bad service.

I attended training tonight. It was my first time. I really enjoyed it. The training was excellent. The entire process was organized and great. The owner taught our class and he was very patient with the beginners and experts. The trainers in the fire range were present to help and friendly. I shot well and I feel comfortable with my new gun. I will be back. Thank you! Anita M

I mainly use the range here, and it strikes a happy medium. It's better than the range in my hometown, and less expensive than some of the higher end ranges. The selection of for rent firearms was good when I started, and they recently got more.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

My wife an I would like to buy handguns. Our first time doing this. Could someone advise us an show us what we need to know?

I recommend going to Bob's & scheduling some range time with one of their instuctors first just to get a feel for what kind of sidearm you want to get. Everyone there is courteous & extremely knowledgeable.

To a degree. Bob's has a wide selection of range weapons in different makes, models and calibers to try. After getting a feel for what you prefer, you can make a purchase downstairs at the showroom.

Hi,, I'm a new gun owner and just purchased a Mossberg shockwave 590 - what's the best home defense ammunition?

sd | Nov 1, 2020
Blake Duncan | Nov 1, 2021

For home defense I personally load 2 #6 field loads followed by 00 buck. In normal home defense distances #6 is plenty lethal or at worst very persuasive. If it doesn't make the point the 00 buck follow up certainly will.

Jacob | Nov 1, 2020

That question is best reserved for a lawyer. Try everything in your power to never have to use a gun in self defense..... it gets messy when you do.

What fire arm do I have to have be a secruity officer not trying spend the most for something that I world rarely use other the range

Keef Lucci | Nov 2, 2019
Michael Paluszkiewicz | Nov 2, 2019

There is no straight forward answer... The closest I can give you is this: If your agency is not issuing you one or specifying what you should get... Ask/find out what ammunition will be issued to you. I presume they will specify a caliber. Rent 2-3 firearms (or more if you have choices and time) and run at least 100 rounds of the specified ammo through each. The firearm I would recommend is the one that: 1) runs the spec ammo the best, 2) is the one that you will practice with, and 3) the one that will carry the best in a holster. This advice has nothing to do with Bob's Gun with the exception that they do have a good selection of rental handgun in the major calibers (but they may not have the ammo that your agency issues, and they require you to buy their ammo if you rent)

Joeben Teddy | Nov 2, 2018

I frequent Bob's. To appraise a firearm they will want to See it in person. They won't do it over the phone. However, employees have regularly said you'll never get even half its new value selling it. They recommend, as do many, that you put it in consignment where you choose the price and they take a fixed percentage for selling it. If you need to sell it ASAP but want to be safe and do it the right way, find someone online, bring them to Bob's, and Bob's will do a background check on them for $30 or $40. This will get you the most money.
