St. Nicholas Guns & Range is an indoor shooting range and gun store at 4630 Blanding Blvd in Jacksonville, Florida. The business is described as the longest continuously operating gun shop in the city and has been under new ownership since 2023. It is open seven days a week, and the range closes one hour before the store.
The range has 12 lanes. Each lane has a target system and sound suppression technology, and the range is climate-controlled with ventilation systems. The range is built for pistols and pistol-caliber guns up to .44 Magnum, or rifles up to .308. The shooter's box rules apply: firearms stay cased until in the box, only one shooter is allowed in the box at a time, and rapid fire is allowed only at the first red line on the floor, at chest level. Eye and ear protection must be worn on the range at all times. Rifle lanes are listed as coming soon.
Training includes the Florida Concealed Weapons Permit class on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month, with fingerprints and photos done on site. A Basic Handgun class runs on Tuesday evenings and is limited to 10 students. Concealed Coalition permit classes are held on select Sundays. Completing any class earns a free day on the range. A Bowling With Bullets event is held on alternating Monday evenings.
The store sells new firearms, accessories, suppressors and shooting gear, buys used guns, accepts trade-ins, and handles transfers for firearms bought online. A Silencer Shop kiosk handles fingerprint scanning, photos and electronic ATF filings for NFA items. Custom holsters are made on site. Handgun and rifle (pistol-caliber) rentals are available, including suppressed guns and guns with optics. Secure monthly gun storage lockers can be rented.
Walk-in shooters need no membership. Frequent shooters can choose a monthly Plus, Premium or VIP membership or a Range Only annual membership. Group packages for birthdays, bachelor parties, corporate events and other outings reserve up to 5 lanes with an exclusive instructor. Wednesday Ladies Day, free range time on your birthday, a monthly Gun of the Month rental and a military and first responder rate are also offered.
