I was thinking of making the 1:40 treck down to Shore Shot to try out some pistols for my home defense purchase (9mm). They're one of the few places that will rent guns. My handgun experience is very limited, having shot only my Taurus 99AF 9mm and a few rounds in a S&W .357 revolver. I wanted to take a look at Glock 19, Walther PPQ, Sig 226 (freaky expensive), and maybe an M&P 9 or XD/XDM. Is there anything I should know about the place before going?

It's gonna be crowded on the weekend!

 

If you want to rent 9mm handguns you pay one price. If you want to try another one you swap them, must stay with the same caliber though.

 

Tell them you are a member here and you will get a discount.

I was there Friday and was crowded, but good selection of pistols..

If you'd like to try an XD45 fullsize, M&P 45 compact, USP compact in 9mm, Sig 226 in 9mm, Browning HiPower in 9mm, I can help you out in Bridgewater.

the only problem is you have to buy there ammo for the rental, and they bang you hard, $28 for a box of lawman 9mm. I was pissed. That is a non-member price.

Mention that you are a NJGF member and I think they will give you a better price on ammo.

If you want to try an M&P (.40) full size or CM9 (9mm this is more of a CCW) you can at Dix next time I go...

Week nights are much less crowded if you can do it. Monday they do the fun shoot so don't go that night if you want to rent.
