pistol range
Handgun practice venue
A pistol range is a shooting facility designed for practicing with handguns.
The term distinguishes it from rifle ranges, which require longer distances.
Pistol ranges may be indoor or outdoor, with lanes, targets, and backstops to catch bullets safely: We spent Saturday morning at the pistol range.
The term also refers to the effective distance a pistol can accurately shoot.
