Confidence Doesn’t Come in a Box — It’s Earned One Round at a Time
You can buy a lot of things in a gun shop. Confidence isn’t one of them.
That comes from time on the range. Real practice. Real training.
At West Side Safe & Gun, we’ve built the kind of place where every shot has a purpose.
The Grand Bank Range — Built for Members Who Train with Purpose
West Side Safe & Gun Grand Bank Shooting Range
If you carry or plan to, you need more than a certificate. You need a place to train.
The Grand Bank Range is open to active members and designed for just that.
It features a ballistic rubber backstop, a wide-open layout, and a controlled environment where shooters manage their own firing line through direct communication.
There’s overhead lighting, table rests, and even backlighting at the targets if needed.
Whether you’re fine-tuning your draw or running reps to stay sharp, the Grand Bank Range gives you the space and structure to train right.
The Pistol Bunker — Reserved for Law Enforcement
West Side Safe & Gun Pistol Bunker
The Pistol Bunker is a dedicated outdoor space, engineered specifically for professional use.
It’s currently reserved for law enforcement agencies only, and access is permitted only under supervision of their certified range officer.
The Pistol Bunker features a rubber flip-lock backstop system backed by AR400 steel, designed to handle full metal jacket pistol rounds in a highly controlled setting. Rounds pass through self-healing mats and collect safely in a tray system below. This range is not available for public use at this time.
