The incident occurred about 12:15 p.m. at the shooting range on East Katella Avenue in Orange, said Jim Amormino, spokesman for the department.
The range master, who was not identified, was walking by when the weapon went off, Amormino said.
He was taken to UCI Medical Center in Orange with non-life-threatening injuries.
