It's getting close.

My 21st birthday is approaching and I need to start trying out different handguns so I can go make the purchase on that special day.

Are there any ranges within say.. 10 miles of Pomona that rent? Does Prado?

Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

If you are willing to drive down to Temecula on a weekend I'll let you shoot all sorts of handguns @ the Rainbow Valley Range.

When I was in So Cal, I used to go to Orange County Indoor Range in Brea. They rent, but bring a 21+ yr old friend. They've got Glocks, Springers, HKs and I think a few Sigs.

Great place.

Insight in Cerritos has a choice of any of their around 50 handguns you can rent for a flat fee of $10. You can change guns as often as you want to, as long as you use their ammo.

Yeah, i'd either go to "In Sight" or "OC indoor" to rent a handgun...Prado will only rent out shotguns i believe...

La Puente indoor on Valley Blvd.

Go ahead and get the glock you had in mind.

Prado does not rent guns. La Puente Firing Range does, but that place can get pretty scary. A friend is a detective and he was telling me they have bad problems with gangs hanging out there... and they just found a body in a car there...

When I went to the place to check it out, there was nobody (or bodies) there but us, but man those lanes are all shot up... you know the areas where you aren't even supposed to have your gun loaded yet

Mike you're bad

This gentleman here could be 1911 material.

[Uberdummy]

Pffft glock.. I actually do want a 1911 as a first handgun if I can, just need to try a few different brands first.

Thanks for the tips, I'll get my cousin to come with me and we'll probably go to InSight. How can a $10 flat fee be beat?

[sintax]

cant really go wrong with a 1911....But if i was going to get something else, it would have to be a Springfield XD. Its everything a glock wishes it could be

As for ranges, All of the local ranges i've been to have about the same collection of beaten down pistols. All i've rented or handled were in pretty poor shape.

I'd try to meet a local gunner at the range, make friends.

I'm gonna be at The Firing Line in HB later next week to test out the new Delta Elite and the new Springfield Loaded I pickup on Tuesday. I'll also have a sig or two and one of my XD's. If you are interested in checking any out let me know.

Where's the Firing Line?

[Quiet]

Have you been to Dave's in San Bernardino near the Orange Show Fairgrounds?

That have the usually collection of Glocks, Sigs, S&W and Springfields for rent.

Where's the Firing Line?

17921 Jamestown Lane
Huntington Beach, CA 92647

Its close to my office, so thats where I like going. Nice guys for the most part too.

I wish there were better ranges in the IE =\

Wow that's insane...I was shooting there just this last Tuesday evening, very quiet, only a couple of guys there. It's been my experience that late evenings (9PM or so) are quieter, not as many knuckleheads.

Still, I prefer Insight though.
