I strongly recommend Front Range Gun Club in Loveland. Speaking as a (fairly new) female shooter, I've always felt very welcomed there. There are tons of other female shooters, too. Rocky Mountain Shooter Supply focuses more on their store rather than their range; it's rather outdated, the ventilation is crummy, and the target movement system is very limited.

- A good selection of handguns. Ideally a good combination of Glocks in 9mm and .40S&W, in a mixture of full-size, compact, and sub-compact. Would also like to show her a Kahr, S&W M&P Shield, and maybe even a Walther PPS. A full-size 1911 for me to play with would be a bonus.
- I know that they have Glocks and Kahrs, and possibly the Walther. They have a 1911 as well. Here's the rental list - they actually have more than this. http://www.thefrgc.com/GunRentals.aspx

- A general atmosphere of safety and responsibility, would prefer not to have to deal with yahoos (behind the counter or on the range).
- They're very professional there and they're extremely safety conscious. Yahoos are promptly dealt with.

- Ideally a clean facility with good ventilation and sound baffling.
- This is the cleanest, most well ventilated range I've been to. No smoke smell whatsoever. RMSS is kind of bad as far as smell goes.

- "Pay once, rent many" is a big plus since she may want to try more than one model
- I think they pay by the rental, but if you express an interest in purchasing through them they may be able to work something out.
