Orlando Gun Club Pick 4 Guns: A Down-to-Earth 2025 Review

So, you are pretty much looking for an Orlando activity that is a little different from the usual theme park marathon. My friends and I were, like, in that exact spot, wanting an experience that was a bit more hands-on and, frankly, memorable. We stumbled upon the ‘Pick 4 Guns Experience’ at the Orlando Gun Club, and to be honest, it seemed like just the thing. Basically, it’s not every day you get to try something like this, especially in a place known more for fairy tales than for firing ranges. The idea of choosing four different firearms to try out was really what caught our attention, you know? Actually, we went in with a mix of excitement and a few nerves, which is probably normal. This review is, at the end of the day, an honest account of what that day was really like, from the moment we walked in to the very last shot we took.

Arriving and Getting the Vibe of the Place

Walking into the Orlando Gun Club for the first time is, you know, kind of an interesting feeling. I mean, from the outside, it is a very clean and professional-looking building, which is actually reassuring. The minute you step through the doors, you can tell it’s a serious operation, but honestly not in a scary way. It’s almost like the atmosphere is very controlled and orderly, which immediately puts you more or less at ease. The staff at the front desk were, seriously, incredibly welcoming and efficient. They seemed to, sort of, get that we were first-timers and were patient with our questions. The check-in process was, pretty much, straightforward; you just need your ID and to fill out some standard paperwork.

You can literally see the retail section from the entrance, and they have a pretty wide selection of gear and accessories. Anyway, looking around, we noticed the crowd was very diverse—couples, families with older teens, and groups of friends, just like us. That is that sense of a shared, unique activity that, in a way, makes it feel less like a niche hobby and more like a mainstream attraction. Frankly, the place was spotless, and every staff member we saw was wearing a uniform and looked extremely professional. At the end of the day, this initial impression was a really big deal because it sort of set the tone for the entire experience as being safe and well-managed.

The Safety Talk is Actually a Big Deal

Okay, before you even think about getting near a firearm, you’re taken through a very thorough safety briefing, which, honestly, is the most important part of the whole day. They literally don’t skimp on this at all, and that’s a very good thing. We were introduced to our Range Safety Officer, or RSO, who, right away, was our dedicated guide for the entire time. I mean, this person’s entire job is just to keep you safe, and they are incredibly good at it. The RSO calmly and clearly went over the fundamental rules of firearm safety, you know, things like always keeping the gun pointed in a safe direction and keeping your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.

What I really appreciated was, sort of, how they explained it. They basically used simple, direct language and made sure we all understood before moving on. There was no room for confusion, and they obviously encouraged questions. For instance, they showed us exactly how to stand, how to hold the firearm correctly, and how the safety mechanisms on each gun worked. This is that hands-on instruction that makes you feel a lot more comfortable, especially if you’ve never held one before. You’re given eye and ear protection, which, to be honest, is absolutely non-negotiable. Seriously, the commitment to a safety-first culture was apparent in every step, and it really allowed us to relax and focus on the experience itself.

Okay, So How Do You Pick the Four Guns?

Now for the part you’ve been waiting for, right? Choosing your four firearms is basically like being a kid in a very specific kind of candy store. The selection is, you know, pretty impressive. They have this large, laminated menu with pictures and names of all the available options, and you can almost feel the excitement building. You’ll find everything from pistols and revolvers you might recognize from movies to some really unique rifles. The RSO is, as a matter of fact, right there with you to help you make your choices.

“I honestly just wanted to try the Glock, you know, because you see it everywhere. And then maybe something totally different, like a classic revolver. The RSO was extremely helpful in suggesting two others to give me a really well-rounded experience.”

I mean, our group had a lot of fun with this part. One friend, for instance, wanted to try firearms featured in his favorite video games, and they pretty much had them. I was more interested in the mechanics and feeling the difference between, say, a 9mm pistol and a larger caliber rifle. Your RSO will ask what you’re interested in and will genuinely guide you based on your comfort level and what might be fun for a beginner. So, they might suggest starting with something with less recoil and then working your way up. It’s a very personalized process, which, at the end of the day, makes the experience feel custom-fit to you.

Stepping onto the Range and Taking Your Shot

Alright, this is where it all comes together. Walking into the shooting lane with your RSO is definitely a moment. With your ear protection on, the sound from other shooters is a dull pop, and your focus just narrows to your lane, your target, and the instructor by your side. The RSO, you know, handles everything for you. They load the first magazine, place the firearm on the bench in front of you, and then, and only then, do they walk you through picking it up. Seriously, you are never just left on your own; they are with you for literally every single shot.

As I was saying, they talk you through your stance, your grip, and how to aim. My RSO was fantastic, just offering small corrections in a calm voice. “A little more pressure with your support hand. Now, slowly squeeze the trigger.” I mean, that first shot is a very unique sensation—a loud bang, a push against your hands, and then the satisfying sight of a hole appearing on the paper target. It’s actually less about a jolt and more of a firm push. The feeling of concentration is, frankly, intense. You are just focused on the simple mechanics of aiming and shooting. Honestly, hitting the target, especially closer to the center, brings a real sense of accomplishment. You just get to cycle through your four chosen firearms, feeling the very different personalities of each one.
