An hour south of Middletown is the only authorized Byrna dealer in Delaware with an outdoor range on site.
Route 1 south past Dover and Milford, off at Milton, west on Route 5 to Pettyjohn Road. Sixty miles, almost all of it highway.
It is a real drive and we are not going to pretend otherwise. What you get for it is the only range in the state where you can fire every launcher we sell, no obligation, and walk out with it fitted rather than boxed.
The MOT area has grown faster than almost anywhere in the state and it has grown young — new developments, new schools, a lot of families who moved out of New Castle and Wilmington in the last ten years. What comes up over and over is that they want a real deterrent in the house and they do not want a gun in it.
That is not a compromise position with a Byrna. It is legal in all 50 states, not classified as a firearm, needs no permit or background check, and Byrna’s pull-pierce CO₂ system means it stays ready for years without maintenance. The trade-off is range and stopping power, and the honest way to understand that trade-off is to shoot one.
You can buy a Byrna online in ninety seconds. What you can't do online is find out whether it fits your hand, whether you can reach the safety, or whether you'd actually hit anything under pressure.
Our outdoor range is open to anyone from Middletown considering a launcher. Fire every pistol we carry back to back, feel the difference in size and recoil, and see your groups on paper. No obligation to buy anything.
About the range →Grips, optics, laser sights and skin wraps — fitted and zeroed in the shop while you wait, not mailed to you in a bag. You can shoot it before you drive home.
What we customize →Owning a launcher and being able to use one are different things. We run familiarization on every purchase, and tactical training is available on request for individuals and small groups.
Training options →Everything below is on the shelf in Milton — no shipping wait, no carrier restrictions, no minimum order.
Every pistol we sell is on the range and available to shoot before you buy it.
Live rounds, pepper and Pro-Training projectiles in .61 and .68, plus CO₂.
NIJ-rated Level IIIA and III+ plates and backpack armor.
Belly band carry and concealed carry handbags with a locking compartment.
About sixty miles — a little over an hour straight down Route 1 to the Milton exit. We are at 17049 Pettyjohn Road.
It is not a toy and it should be treated the way you would treat anything else capable of injuring someone — stored properly and out of reach. What it does not carry is the finality of a firearm, which is why a lot of families choose it. Come and shoot one and make that call with the thing in your hand.
Yes, and that is the point of the place. Our outdoor range is open to anyone considering a launcher — fire every pistol we carry back to back, see your groups on paper, and there is no obligation to buy anything at the end of it. Call ahead on (302) 339-9129 and we will have the range clear when you arrive.
No. Byrna launchers are legal in all 50 states, are not classified as firearms by the ATF, and require no permit and no background check. You must be 18 or older to purchase. Note that in Delaware — along with Idaho, Illinois, New Jersey and Rhode Island — convicted felons are prohibited from owning one even though it is not a firearm.
We honor every Byrna.com sale — same price, no shipping wait. Active and retired military and law enforcement take 10% off with ID, though that one cannot be combined with a sale or any other promotion.
17049 Pettyjohn Road, Milton DE. Monday to Friday, 11am to 5pm — other times by appointment. Call ahead and we'll have the range clear when you arrive.
