Can someone point to a place in the PDX area where you can rent handguns from a range and test them out? I would like to test out a few calibers before settling on one.
The Clackamas Public safety center lets you rent their handguns, but you must already bring your own gun to the place. http://www.co.clackamas.or.us/sheriff/pstc.jsp
here ya go.. These are the only 2 I know of on the East side. Not sure what is available on the West side. Public Safety Training Center (on 82nd Just south of Clackamas Town Center) http://www.co.clackamas.or.us/sheriff/pstc.jsp the place to shoot (Delta Park) area http://www.theplacetoshoot.com/
PSTC in clackamas allows rentals. YOu have to bring 1 weapon on your own to let them hold in order to rent though. There's a lot of logic in that. What in particular are you looking to rent?
By the time you go to a range that rents, pay the rental fee, pay the range fee, and buy their ammo (which most ranges that rent guns make you do for rentals) you have blown a big chunk of the money that could pay for the gun you are wanting. Itt is much better to just find a friend that has the guns you want to shoot and go to the range with them.
+1. Dealing with PSTC in Clackamas the only ammo they had last week was .45acp and 22LR, what a selection.
