Talking GUNS!

I'm looking for a decent hand gun at a good price so I can go target-practice at a shooting range with my friends. Where can I get a decent gun for a good price, preferably below $500? Thanks!

Yes, they rent it out but I wouldn't mind owning one. It'll pay off in the long run. As for gun shops, tried them, too pricey. Was hoping buying online can bring some deals. They sell guns online right?

My range has a wall of about 50 guns for rent. $15 gets you an hour of rentals, and you can select any gun, and as many guns as you want. For example, you can shoot four different guns for 15 minutes each, six guns for 10 minutes each, or any combination of guns and time adding up to 60 minutes, all for $15. The only stipulation is that you can only fire ammo purchased at the range. Not a big deal.. prices are decent, about $3 more than I can buy online.

Do you have experience with pistols? I would not buy a gun without putting a rew rounds through that specific model first. There's a good chance that you will not like it, and you will be out possibly several hundred dollars even if you only fire it a couple times.

They sell online, but they will only ship to an authorized dealer.

I'll try out a few rentals, but if you know of discounted online sellers, don't mind posting. Thx!
