I was out in Arizona this week for the usual 'visit', Sedona, Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, Phoenix, etc. All of that was nice, but, the REAL payoff was visiting the Scottsdale Gun Club just northeast of Phoenix!

WOW! What a facility! Rented a FULLY AUTOMATIC H&K MP5 and a FULLY AUTOMATIC THOMPSON! Blew through a few mags of 9mm and 45acp in a hurry, and I do mean, A HURRY! What a rush!

The MP5 felt like a pop gun. And, the weight of the Thompson was such that there was very little recoil. Both were very easy to shoot. The staff was very friendly and gave a very good check out and orientation to the weapons.

The shop was big, full of fun toys, with lots of friendly knowledgeable staff. They even had a full wall of Class III weapons available! I could have spent all day there!

So, in short, if you're headed to Phoenix for any reason... you owe it to yourself to check this place ou!
