    Greetings everyone. I'm looking for a range with a decent selection of rental handguns. I'm willing to drive a little bit if necessary. I'm looking at making a purchase in the near future, so the point of this range trip will be to try out a few models and figure out what I want this time.

    I'm considering S&W, Walther, Sig and Springfield XD for starters, in .40 or .45, so if you know of ranges that have these in stock, that's a plus.

    I've previously owned a Springfield G.I. 45 and a Walther P99 .40. I liked both, but want to shop around for options.

    I am specifically NOT interested in:
    Revolvers
    Beretta 92
    any 9mm for that matter
    Glock

    Nothing against them. They're just not my taste. Mentioning it since that seems to account for a good chunk of some ranges' inventories.

    Thanks.

    Continental definitely has a bunch of XD, S&W M&P, and Sigs for rent. Not sure about all the calibers/models (as I'm more of a Glock guy), but I'd be willing to bet they have a lot of what you are seeking.

    Welcome to the forum. Just a quick question, are you aware of the HQL requirement for the purchase of a handgun? I know you say you've owned handguns in the past, but you will have to apply and receive your HQL before you are granted permission to purchase a handgun at this time in the state of Maryland.

    BTW, why not stop by the Introduction Section and introduce yourself properly.

    On-Target near Ft Meade I believe rents handguns. Not sure their inventory. There is a range in Frederick that rents handguns as well called Heritage.

    Welcome to the board.

    Although Continental is not an IP, they do have a lot of pistols to rent. You have to buy their ammo. Range rates aren't terrible. Be sure to bring your own eyes and ear protection. I go there often.
