Where can I find more options to try out before a purchase?

[tanghan 1]

I'm thinking for my second pistol. I'd like to rent and try out some candidates like Walther P99 / PPQ or S&W M&P 9.

I'm living in North Jersey but willing to drive up to 2hrs. Any suggestion?

thanks.

Shore Shot is great but you should call to see if they have what you're looking for available to rent. I was there fairly recently and they didn't have the M&P 9 available for rent as it was out being serviced.

Thank you all. Will go SS.

You are right. MP9 is still down and no Walther.

Last year, I went to the Pocono Pistol Club as I was in the same boat as you. It's just over the bridge and they had about 3 cabinets of rental gun to choose from if I remember correctly. I know I rented a a M&P 9 Pro series there, 1911's, Glocks (of course), S&W Revolvers, Ruger .22. I'm from North Jersey as well and it's only about 1 hr 15 min drive. They are a little on the expensive side but the staff is very professional.

 

Here is their website:

If you have not been there before, you have to take a mandatory safety course and it's about $10.

Ryan, thanks for the great details. I'll give that a try.

Yes, I've been there last year also. Got my Sig P226 because that trip. But I don't remember they have S&W MP or Walther P99. They got a PPK though if I remember correct.

Www.southjerseyshootingclub.com they hold plate shoots at least once a month. Show up with ammo and a friendly attitude, people are generally happy to show and share what they have. There is a large selection of guns from the people who attend and ample opportunity to try things out. I have brought friends there who were looking for a gun and they got to check out and shoot a dozen guns.

Just make friends and ask, I'm always happy to share I know many feel the same.

Next shoot is Sunday Sept 11.

Great great suggestions in this thread. =)

 

I don't know if you are going to find someplace to try the PPQ as it is a new gun and not many people own them, nevermind the fact that it is a Walther. My first impressions of it at Shot Show, I did like it, and the trigger feels interesting, very Sig SRT'ish.

 

The M&P is a great pistol, with more and more aftermarket support for it. It is a striker fired gun, so a little different. I do have an M&P, however I have never shot it, actually, never picked it up, but it is a terrific Glock alternative, especially if the Glocks just don't sit right in your hand.

Maksim,

 

That's exactly what I'm interested for.

I'll make time to the match. Hope to see you there again.
