Anyone ever delt with or have any experience with them? Based in Tempe.

Before anyone says it, I usually don't deal with most places that have "Tactical" in the name, however, they have a part listed on their site that has been a PITA to find that I have been looking for.

fwiw

The only time I've been in there the staff were friendly and not pushy.
Their prices though

Gotta be cool, they did the photo shoot of the latest Dillon cover girl there!

Way overpriced. My old boss is one of the owners.

I am currently doing a form 3 transfer through C2. We will see how it goes.

I am a little sketched out because i have been told thier transfer fees have went from $40-$70 by the class 3 manager. Who knows what it will be once my can in in thier posession.

Nice people but charge at least $10 more on most things.

Thank for the replies all. I'm waiting on an email back from them to see if they even have it in stock and if so, if the price is half decent.

If you rent range time, you must use their targets. Cant bring your own.

Had my worst experiences at a range there. They are way overpriced on everything I saw (loved the $1k WASR sitting on the wall) and the employees were all very condescending and acted like they are hot shit. I'll never walk through their doors again.

I've been there on three or four different occasions. The staff was very helpful and not pushy or condescending. Prices were a bit higher on most things.

It's close to my house so that's where I go. The sales staff are nice and the people in the range are great, even help me collect my brass if their not busy.

Nice place with a pretty good selection.
I like them and Merchant Arms on Chandler and 48th since they are close.
If I am hitting Target it is Merchant, Total Wine and it is C2.

I've been there a few times. I go shoot and then leave. I did price match a gun there as well.


If it's close , go shoot and be happy it's nearby . I don't know why people like to go in gun shops and strike up convos and see who's penis is bigger. Any question you have about firearms can be answered here or atleast point you in the right direction .

Well they definitely aren't close as I live in Prescott. I happened to run across them online when I was looking for a part. They still haven't returned my email, but then again it is shot week so I'm assuming they are there.

I have never had great experience at indoor ranges(RO’s are usually dbags).
Did a form 4 transfer from Supressor shop and went to run it, which they didn’t have onsite.
My buddy still wanted to shoot. We had a good experience. Everyone was nice, even the RO who told me I could no longer shoot Steel- he was professional about it.

I shoot in the Indoor GSSF matches that they host there. It's a good range, good store with a big selection, but definitely pricey.

Merchant Firearms is only a short drive away and has much better prices.

I thought the Caswell's owned C2 (which is Caswell's 2).  Maybe he has a bunch of partners in that operation.

Since there's not too many indoor shooting ranges, you don't get much choice.  Let's see, there's the two Shooter's Worlds, the two Caswell's, Scottsdale Gun Club and Ted's Shooting range.  They're all way more expensive than driving a few miles and enjoying the outdoors.  

I like Ted's but they're all expensive if you ask me.

Across the street from where I work so shoot at lunch sometimes.  

Always have had a good time.  Seems less busy than Caswells and I have always gotten a lane.

Staff has been stellar...I get my brass back and then some. If something isn't right they correct it without excess drama.

No complaints here,.

Update: after my can was received by C2 on 1/16/16, i get a call on 1/22/16 letting me know that they have it. Then they tell me that the transfer fee is $100 for non members and $75 for members. I told the guy that i was told $40 at one point, and $70 another time, and now $100? What is the deal with that? He says it has always been the same and some employees dont know what we charge for a transfer. (Im pretty sure i am talking to the same guy who handles class 3 stuff at C2 all three times)

Then he asks is i will be filing as an individual or on a trust. I tell him trust.

He then says you need to drop off your trust with us, pay the $200 ATF fee, pay the $100 ffl transfer fee and we will call you when the paperwork is ready to be signed by you.

Is it normal procedure to drop off my trust with the ffl? Im not really comfortable with that at all.

Also...is it normal to pay the ffl transfer fee months before i actually take posession of the suppressor? Wouldnt that mean i accept the item at this time? What if they use it as a display in their store and let customers/sales people handle it during that time? What if after the 4 month wait i get a suppressor that has obviously been handled or possibly used as a demo on thier range? I have read stories of stuff like this happening, and after three different price changes on the transfer fee, and them wanting me to drop off my trust with them and them wanting me to make multiple trips out there to get the transfer started...im not very trusting of C2 tactical.

Yes to both.

I need a copy of the trust so I can send it in with the form 4 as I do the paperwork.

As to the fee, twice what I charge, but yeah most of the time I get it up front.
Think of it as a storage fee too, gets to be a PITA when I've got 10-15 suppressors I need to store, keep track of, and am responsible for, till the forms get approved.

That should never happen, it's YOUR property even if you can't pick it up.
You paid for it, and ultimately I'm responsible for it till you take possession.

I will on occasion let the owner come down and take them out to the desert to let them shoot it, as long as I'm with them it's not a problem.

So i can just bring a copy of my trust?

Yep. Make sure its a copy, not the original

I've had only good experiences there.  It is expensive to shoot there, but I think most of the indoor ranges in the valley are pretty close in price.

i live on the westside so i dont make it over there alot.  usually when the GF wants to go to IKEA, i just go there.  nice store, helpful salesman, but their prices....  i may grab a few small item things but i wont buy a gun there.  


....side note.  that shop in the back... dear god ill never use them again.  had them engrave 7 receivers for me, and after 2 small screw ups, and having to go back there 2 other times, they finally got it right.  then when asked how much to pin a gas block to a barrel and they quoted $60, i just stopped even going there.
