Hello fellow shooters! I am here today to do some simple research on the pulse of you shooters.
I hope this is allowed for me to inquire in this way to canvas your opinions of what you would like to see or try. I apologize if this isn't allowed.
I have been given a unique opportunity to equip an indoor shooting facility with various fire arms! Talk about a fun project!
The top rated pistols that I see here and at a few other sites will help me choose the handguns we will include in the facility to rent to customers to shoot on our range. I won't advertise the name of the business, but just want to see what you guys think would be the best to have a chance to shoot.
I am curious of what the top 10 hand gun picks would be.
What make/models, calibers etc.
Thank you in advance guys, and I look forward to your input!
Lots of people are listing their favorites, but that's not necessarily what would rent the most frequently.
I don't know the various Glock models since I don't own one. That said, I would have regular/duty in fullsize and compact and subcompact, in both 9 and 40. in Glock, and then a similar competitor such as S&W (M&P and Shield models), and then maybe an economy brand such as Taurus or Ruger.
Then add in the Sig P320 with various grip frame sizes.
People who rent guns don't have one usually, so they are test-driving one. They likely want something cheap, reliable, and comfortable to both carry and shoot. They won't know a lot about the guns, but will be going on reputation and marketing...
it's actually similar to a young couple who just had their first child (probably twins) and are now out of college, and are buying a new "family" car, to replace the used little 2-door car they tooled around with before. Reputation might say "get a Toyota"... which one? I wouldn't know, I'd say go to the dealer and check them out; and if you then want something "different", try something similar to the Toyota you liked. Same applies to Glock and carry, just my opinion.
If you fill those in and still have the resources and desire for more, I would then include the following:
Sig P226
Beretta 92FS
CZ 75
That group remains the primary choice for people wanting to pick up a fullsize metal 9mm DA/SA, and the best way to determine which is best is for the shooter to try them out.
