Lots of good information here. Go to an indoor range and rent several different models and calibers to see what you are comfortable with. Then refine your selection from there.

I have no idea where any rental places are around State College. Also how much does it cost to rent the guns?

It isn't much to rent guns and if you buy one from the range you probably won't have to pay for the rental.

I'm a Glock guy. I carry a G27 everyday and I can honestly say I trust my life with it. If you want something in 9mm I would suggest a G19,if you can find one. With the way ammo is nowadays 9mm is a good round, and anyways it is all about shot placement. Also 9 is cheap so you can practice more, if you can find any. Glocks are also very user friendly, you can break it down in about 5 seconds to clean. There are no external safeties to leave on, the only ones you need are your brain and finger. Whatever you get, make sure it is quality, you don't want that $150 swap meet special in your hand if shtf. Be safe

PS: go to youtube and look up glock torture test, it's what sold me

Robby, wait until you come home for a visit.  The Firing Range on the hill on Rt 145 leading up to Egypt has this.

Robby, I believe there is a range down here in Chambersburg that rents guns as well.

BadKarma42 posted on here earlier, he would know better than I would.

Just got off the phone with the local indoor range in Chambersburg.  They are open from 1-6 on Sunday.

They have 9's and 40's there for you to try out if you like.

Thanks for the info guys. Wayne Chambersburg is still like 2.5 hours from State College. I guess it would be worth the drive to help figure out what I want. That is def. an idea.

Well, you will be down here on Sunday.  Just a suggestion if the fishing sucks....

Take some extra cash and shoot some of the full auto stuff as well!

Ok, but laughing is not permitted.
