good gun shops???

[2wheelryder88]

i turn 21 next week and am looking to buy my first handgun. anymore know of any good gun stores in so-cal preferably in the inland empire? also what are some good handgun options around the $500 range?

[freakshow10mm]

Lots of options in SoCal.

What caliber you looking at getting?

[famas619]

Try the shootist in murrieta. For a handgun around your price range, i would say a Glock. The caliber would be up to you, good luck.

[2wheelryder88]

im leaning towards 9mm just because its cheaper to shoot and still sufficient enough for home defense

[hlcarbine]

turners is having a good sale. Ammo bros in ontario, bright spot pawn in riverside, bass pros has a good selection,
glock, springfield xd, ruger, s&w m&p,

[penguin156]

If you can make it to Laguna Hills, O.C. Armory is fantastic.

Magnum Gun Range in Rancho Cucamonga has NIB Glocks for $519 (G17 and G19).

They also have a few on consigment that are in your range, and possibly a step up from what you can get new.

9049 9th St, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730

I am not affiliated with them. I just picked up a Beretta from them and know how good they are to deal with.

I'd recommend going to a gun shop, finding a few that you are interested in, and then going to a range and renting those guns.

I had a Taurus chambered in 45acp for a while. I didn't think it was well constructed. The frame rails started galling after a few hundred rounds, and the fit and finish left a bit to be desired. It shot okay and was reliable. I just didn't think it would last for any length of time.

go down I-15 to where it meet 91
Annie's get your gun is a shop you should stop by
Then go east on 91. Stop by centerfire firearms in Riverside.
There is another gun shop on Iowa street called JW guns or something like that, just north of 60.
then go west on 60, stop by Bright spot pawn

you got yourself a fun trip there.

what generation taurus did you have? i know the 1st and 2nd gen suck but 3rd on up are supposed to be really great guns especially for the money

[chefdude]

Magnum in Rancho Cuc is good they have nice consignment guns too, and a slick range...also Bass Pro shops has a FNP-9 for $505 right now..great gun in your range

[2wheelryder88]

It was a PT145 that I had about two years ago. I don't remember what generation it was.

If they did improve on the 3rd generation, that's good to hear. I thought their design concepts and price points were great, they just needed that extra 10% on materials, fit and finish.
