Do you handle multiple guns before buying?

It depends.

Last gun, Savage Axis, I looked at Model 70, rem 700 and savage 10. Only took me 2 years to pick out a new modern bolt gun.

Hahaha...I did the same. Was on the hunt for a synthetic stocked model. It was a Browning X-Bolt for me.
Then there was the 1911.....

I show up to feel to make sure it's what I want and the buy it right then and there.

I usually walk in when I have free time only to look around. If i don't have the cash in my pocket, I never waste the shops time making them take guns out the case. If I see something I like I usually give it a couple of days and if I still want it, i go back and get it. Meanwhile I do some research on the gun.

For me, if it is new, CA roster gun, I usually do some research on Calguns before purchase. If it is an used gun or consignment, I usually make the decision right on the spot, those guns usually don't wait for you (if price right).

Nope...

I usually know what I want and where it ranks on my list. I buy things in order of importance to me and eventually I own most of something in a category, so I don't need to try S*** out.

Window shoppers, tire kickers and dreamers can be annoying in the gun shop. Especially if you are at a small shop with only one person running it all.

I'll narrow it down based off my research online/LGS then handle the most similar model just to see it's differences currently my latest and not to get off topic just an example(IE....Remington 700 SPS Tactical and FNH USPALM Tactical Rifle)

This is exactly what I do. Find a few different weapons that are direct competitors of each other and handle each one. Figure which one feels the best to me and then pull the trigger on the one I feel is the best value to me.
