I’ve been visiting Article II Gun Range in Lombard not only for their range facilities but also for their store, which has become a trusted source for the artifacts I collect. What sets Article II apart is the combination of professionalism, knowledge, and genuine respect for history and craftsmanship. Expert Staff: The team here isn’t just selling—they understand the lineage and technical details behind what they carry. That makes a huge difference when you’re looking for items with provenance and credibility. Selection: Beyond the range itself, the store offers a diverse inventory that appeals to both shooters and collectors. I’ve found rare and historically significant pieces here that fit perfectly into my cataloging work. Atmosphere: The range is clean, well-run, and welcoming. Whether you’re here to train, browse, or buy, you feel like you’re in a place that values safety and respect for the community. Trust Factor: For someone like me who documents artifacts to scholarly standards, trust is everything. Article II has earned that trust by consistently providing accurate information and reliable service. In short, Article II Gun Range is more than just a range—it’s a hub for enthusiasts, collectors, and professionals alike. If you’re serious about quality, history, and expertise, this is the place to go in Chicagoland!
I’ve been to this gun range twice now, and both times I’ve had an incredible experience. Every single staff member went above and beyond—truly some of the best customer service I’ve encountered anywhere. They were thorough, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. Even as they focused on safety, they kept the environment friendly and easy to approach, making the whole experience comfortable from start to finish. What really stood out was how eager they were to teach. They explained everything clearly, answered every question without hesitation, and made sure I felt confident and supported the entire time. Huge thank you to Bob, Billy, Gus and Gregg who have been an absolute pleasure to work with.
I had an amazing experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to accommodate us despite our tight schedule. They were very informative, explaining everything clearly and ensuring we felt comfortable and safe throughout. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a professional and welcoming shooting experience!
Awesome place! Would definitely recommend. Everyone here loves what they do so you can ask them anything you want to know and they will make sure they give you all the information you need. They do give short classes which were beneficial for first time shooters. Would recommend getting those if that is the case. Big inventory so many options to look at and choose from. Ask for Gus! He has your back. We bought a Groupon ahead of time that included a lesson for two and shooting session. You also need to schedule ahead of time with them regardless if you go through Groupon or not. They did have many people there so you will be in good hands. We let them know what we are interested in, they took our information and we signed a waiver of course. Then we had a half an hour class where we learned how to load and unload a gun, how to aim and how to stand. Then for the other half hour we went on the shooting range and had an instructor with us the whole time that did the loading and unloading of the guns and guided us through. He was supportive and informative, great teacher. Each of us had two rounds which two separate guns. Great for learning and just a great overall experience.
