FIND THE FIREARM THAT FITS YOU.
THERE ISN'T ONE "BEST" FIREARM. THERE'S A BETTER FIT FOR YOU.
Choosing a firearm is personal. What works well for someone else may not be the right choice for your experience, intended use, hand size or comfort level. The goal isn't to buy someone else's favorite. It's to understand your options and make an informed decision based on what fits you.
START WITH THE RIGHT QUESTIONS
WHAT DO YOU NEED THE FIREARM TO DO?
Before comparing brands, models or features, think about why you're buying the firearm in the first place.
Range use, competition, personal protection, training and recreational shooting can each lead to different priorities and choices.
Once you understand the intended use, it's much easier to focus on the options that make sense for you.
FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS TO YOU.
INTENDED USE
Start with what you expect the firearm to be used for most often. That helps narrow the field before comparing individual models.
EXPERIENCE LEVEL
A firearm should match your current skill and comfort level. New shooters may value different characteristics than experienced firearm owners.
FIT & COMFORT
Grip size, shape, weight and balance can feel very different from one firearm to another. What feels natural in your hands matters.
CONTROLS
Make sure you can comfortably reach and operate the firearm's controls and understand how its operating system works.
RECOIL & SHOOTABILITY
How a firearm feels while shooting matters just as much as how it feels at the counter. Comfort and controllability can affect your overall shooting experience.
YOUR BUDGET
Consider the total picture, including the firearm, ammunition, training and any equipment or accessories you may need.
TRY BEFORE YOU DECIDE
THE RANGE CAN TELL YOU WHAT THE COUNTER CAN'T.
Handling a firearm in the Pro Shop can tell you a lot about its size, fit and controls. Shooting it can tell you even more.
Point Blank Range offers rental firearms so you can experience different options on the range before deciding what works best for you.
Compare how different firearms feel, how easily you can operate them and which ones you shoot comfortably and consistently.
Before your range visit: Review the range rules and complete the required safety orientation. Ask staff for help if you are unfamiliar with any equipment, and follow all Range Safety Officer instructions. Eye and ear protection must be worn on the range.
