Looking for a Store with try out different?

[getreadyportland]

My wife is looking for a revolver, but not entirely sure of what model, when I lived in Florida there were several gun stores that had ranges that would allow you to try before you buy, is there anything like that around Portland?
Thanks in advance.

There's SafeFire in Camas, WA
It's not a "try before buy" but they have rental guns.
Check them out on line to see what they have for rent.
Nearby English Pit Shooting Range also rents guns.
Check out their rental fleet on line.

Remember, to rent, some ranges have an anti-suicide rule where you have to
bring in a gun of your own in order to be able to rent.
Non gun owners have gone to rental ranges to kill themselves with a rental gun.
It has happened at SafeFire.

Find a range that has a girls night, send her off to make friends and I'd bet they will help her out. If you have diner ready when she gets home she may even tell you what she's getting before see orders it.

Worked for me a few times.

A Place to Shoot in Delta Park? Not a store, but they do rent pistols to shoot. Or they did when I was going there.

Clackamas County has a nice range, too.
I believe it's one that requires a person to have a gun before they rent one out, but here's a link.

Public Safety Training Center | Clackamas County

I don't have range suggestions, but want to compliment you on planning to have her try out models she prefers to use. Many guys just buy their wife the smallest gun they can find and are surprised she doesn't like it or can't shoot it accurately.

OP could also buy an all steel snubby and go to town. Aluminum frame snubs are no fun to shoot.
