Rent-A-Gun
Montana Hawk has a nice collection of handguns available to rent for use on their indoor range. Twenty five bucks gets you your choice of revolver or automatic, two or three paper targets, and a large sandwich baggie filled with the appropriate caliber rounds.
Autumn picked something out from their rental case. I didn't pay attention to what she chose to shoot with and I contented myself with wandering around Montana Hawk's sales floor while she was escorted by a range master into the soundproofed shooting area. Every few minutes I broke my gaze from looking at boxes of bulk ammunition or pistol cases to watch Autumn through an observation window. The range master spent some time going over Montana Hawk's shooting policies and safety rules. Then he explained all of her weapon's functional features like where the safety was and what to do in case of a misfire or a jam. Next thing I knew, Autumn was in there plugging away at a paper target. Looked like she was having a good time doing it up, too.
The great thing about renting pistols is you can get some real hands-on experience with different caliber rounds and models of guns. Maybe you find out a .44 Magnum isn't your style because it's too rowdy, so you go with something else like a .32 instead. Better to find out what you are comfortable with before you buy.
I didn't bother to rent anything myself while we were there. I pretty much have my mind made up about what I want. All I have to do is find a 9mm that looks good and feels heavy in my hand. So far everything I've checked out is totally weak.
