Every pistol but one I have bought I have shot a copy of it in advance of the buying .. The one I didn't I got a too good to be true deal on it was the reason ..

I have avoided buying a few because of that when I thought I would like a certain pistol and didn't after shooting it several times (Shield bought the Compact instead) !! I also bought one I hadn't thought about buying at all but shot a friends and liked it so well I bought one to carry .. my Beretta PX-4 Sub Compact and its one of my carries now ..

So by renting a pistol on a range its easily found out if you like shooting the model your looking at .. if not move on to something else you will be much happier and stand a better chance of carrying all the time if you do !!

I just can't see buying a pistol I didn't like shooting unless it had some kind of sentimental feelings .. I bought a friends gun who suddenly died from a heart attack .. or to add to a collection of models ..
