Semi vs. Revolver for Carry

[spyder]

Man, this has spurred quite the discussion.
Guess I should have seen that coming.

Where I grew up there were several public indoor ranges where you could short-term rent to try stuff out. Is there anywhere in the front range (Denver to Ft. Collins) that does that, and has a pretty good selection?

You might want to ask in the general discussion main discussions to meet with someone who has both semi's, and revolvers, for your wife to try out. The guys on here are very helpful and love any reason to go out and put some rounds down range. Many have a wide selection of guns to do this with also so you might get real lucky with this.

Good tip! I'll try to find an opening in the wife's schedule and work something out.

Yup, good tip. Too bad I just moved away from Longmont, I'd have been happy to meet up and put a pile of stuff in front of you guys. I don't have a USP to show you though.

Check out Front Range Gun Club in Loveland. They have a decent but not huge rental selection, and they are very welcoming to women, not condescending or patronizing; and for the proof in the pudding they do have a pretty active women's shooting league, as well as a couple's league. Friendly folks, and it probably wouldn't be hard to get your hands on a lot of diverse hardware if you ask nicely. Members only, though you can go in twice under their "explorer" program, and their league shoots are open to non-members.

Closer to home, I know of two ranges in Longmont. Trigger Time Gun Club, and the Longmont Police range (which is open to the public). I've never been to either and I don't know what if any rentals they have. Both are on 119 just inside Weld County, on the way to I-25.
