About Second To None Arms

A tradition of safety, training, and community since 2018

Our Story

Founded in 2018 by Marcus Caldwell, a retired law enforcement officer with over 25 years of service in the Travis County Sheriff's Office, Second To None Arms was born from a simple conviction: every responsible citizen deserves access to professional-grade firearms training and a world-class shooting facility.

After retiring from active duty, Marcus saw a gap in the Austin area for a range that combined top-tier safety standards, welcoming customer service, and modern facilities. He partnered with fellow veterans and firearms enthusiasts to build Second To None Arms from the ground up, transforming a vacant commercial property on Ranch Road 620 into Central Texas' premier indoor range.

What started as a 6-lane pistol range has grown into a full-service facility with 12 lanes, a comprehensive retail showroom, two dedicated classrooms, and a loyal community of members and students. Our name reflects our commitment: when it comes to safety, training, and service, we are second to none.
