Hey everyone. Im expecting my first pistol permits to come really soon. I just turned 21 and I want to rent a few pistols before I purchase. Rental wise, which of these two ranges would be my best bet to rent, cost wise and selection to choose from? Im located in Rahway so the ranges are about an hour each away. The only Pistols I have only ever shot were a Kimber 1911, Glock 23, and a Buckmark.

 

Pistols I would like to try are:

 

HK P30 9mm or 40 (Want to shoot the P30 the most)

HK45c

Walther PPQ 9mm

Glock 19

 

Thanks guys.

You can call to confirm, but I think Shore Shot only rents the Glock 19 out of your choices. They may have an HK or two. The best bet would be to tell them your intended caliber and ask what they have. Those rental guns are sometimes out for repair, so the list may vary from week to week. I don't know that many places will have that particular Walther because it is fairly new.

Ah okay ill have to call tomorrow. Any idea on ammo prices for rentals? 9mm

Go to the shore shot forum here, there's a link listing all their rentals (they have the G19, but I don't think your others). I want to say it's $15 and you can try out any guns within the same caliber. Main downside I found there was they make you buy their ammo and its something like $26 for low end 9mm. I had heard about a forum discount, and getting their member pricing on ammo, but all I got was $5 off the rental.

 

Heritage Guild in PA I found to be a much nicer place, nicer staff and ammo is reasonable at $15 a box of 9mm, but you pay $12 per gun to rent. They do have G17 and the HK P30, no PPQ and not sure about the HK45. Would be my choice to go to over Shore Shot.

I think ill go to Heritage. It looks as if I can shoot my AR there as well. Thanks for the info

Rifles are a no-go at Shore Shot unless you use more expensive frangible ammo. That is my biggest beef with them. Also, 9mm was pricey around 2012 election. I think it's less than $20 now for non-members.

Yeah when i called them a few months ago and they told me frangible ammo only, I called and went to bullet hole.

I'm sorry I meant I was at the Easton heritage guild at 2. I plan on going to the Rahway one tomorrow to price a p30. I have always had a good experience in Rahway. I bought a few rifles there and also had some work done in my rifle.

Be sure to use the price request feature here as well. The difference in prices between some of the vendors here and NJFG are substantial, to say the least.
