The Firing Pin

The Firing Pin Gun Shop and Shooting Range is under new ownership and is a one-stop-shop for all things firearms. Located at 1654 Highway US 60/84 in Clovis, The Firing Pin is a premiere indoor shooting range, something that isn’t offered for hundreds of miles. With Lubbock or Amarillo being the closest other ranges, owners Jim and Christi Lucero are offering a service that is extremely unique to the area.

With the acquisition of the property within the last month, Jim Lucero says he’s excited for the vision of the new and improved business, and looks forward to serving Clovis and Curry County, Portales and Roosevelt County, and the surrounding communities. The focus at The Firing Pin is to provide a safe, family friendly, hands-on shooting and training experience in an indoor setting. With amenities that are safe, clean, well lit, and climate controlled, Lucero says his hope is to make it a premiere shooting and training destination for families.
In addition to their 16 shooting lanes, The Firing Pin offers concealed carry classes and training for the greenest beginners to those more experienced. They also buy, sell, and trade firearms, as well as rent them. They offer monthly and annual memberships with special consideration given to military and veterans, law enforcement, teachers, and college students.

While Lucero says this first month of business has been a “whirlwind”, and construction in the area has hurt them some, he’s excited for the future. Having bought an existing business, The Firing Pin will be offering new prices, new selections, and very different things than before. They are also looking forward to more renovations, infrastructure improvements, and fixing up the parking lot.


The Firing Pin is open 7 days a week for customer convenience, something that’s a top priority for Lucero. “We want to earn your business by offering the best customer service, competitive pricing for our products and services and increasing types of training classes offered,” he says. Lucero, along with his staff are people-oriented, knowledgeable about the products, as well as certified to help with trainings.
