New shooter ammo guide for San Diego

If you’re a new gun owner in San Diego, the ammo world can feel overwhelming: different calibers, bullet types, California laws, range rules and gear recommendations all hitting you at once. The good news? At LAX Ammo San Diego we work with new shooters every day and we actually enjoy answering questions.

 

This new shooter ammo guide is a plain-English starting point. We’ll cover basic pistol, rifle and shotgun ammo terms, what to bring when you buy ammunition in California, and a few tips for your first range trip in the San Diego area. You don’t need to know everything before you visit – that’s what we’re here for – but a quick read here will help you feel more confident at the counter.

 

If you’d rather talk it through in person, just stop by our Kearny Mesa shop or call 858-987-0509 and let us know you’re a first-time buyer. We’ll walk you through it, no attitude and no pressure.
