SoCal range with wide selection?

[Quickbeam]

Does anyone know of a shooting range here in southern California that has a wide selection of compact handguns?

My wife has expressed interest in shooting and I want to take her somewhere that she can try a bunch of different styles of handguns in the compact/subcompact size range. I am positive my 92fs is too large for her to hold comfortably, and I want her first shooting experience to be a good one (for obvious reasons). Any ideas?

Iron Sights Shooting Range - Oceanside, CA. They have a HUGE selection. Snubnose revolvers, semiautos of many different sizes, rifles, shotguns... In fact, they even have a Smith and Wesson 500, but I think it's out for repair right now. I've taken about 10 girls there and they've all loved it.

SoCal is gigantic. Where are you? LAX range has a good rental roster.

There are two places in San Diego that rent guns that I would suggest I am not really sure how many compacts and subcompacts they have but both places especially the first have very friendly staff

Project 2000 or p2k

You might want to list some of the selection you are interested in. Compact or sub-compact may not be comfortable to shoot. For example, I work for On-Target and we have KAHR PM9 and PM40 for rent. Very compact but not the most comfortable gun to shoot. The whole idea is try before you buy and giving us a list of interested model would help find out which range would be your best bet to try them all out.

Iron Sights has a better selection of rentals than anywhere else I have seen.

true... my wife tried the SR9 and the SR9c and found the SR9 (full size) much easier to shoot...

I guess it depends on what you use it for, hers is for HD not CCW

Cool, thanks for all the input. I am looking at Iron Sights in Oceanside, a bit of a drive down there, but I'm sure it will be worth it. Insight is closer to me, but their selection of compact handguns is not very extensive.
