The opportunity may not always be formally mentioned, but if you see another shooter who has a gun that might interest you, you can ask to shoot a few rounds after the formal program is complete.

For example, my wife usually shoots her Sig 229 9mm at these events and wouldn't mind letting you fire off a magazine full. She may also have her Beretta Cheetah and Browning BDA (both .380) there. In fact, she would be willing to meet someone at the range and let him/her/them shoot any of them. PM me for her email address, if you're interested. (My CZ 75 9mm and Kimber Pro Carry, not to mention a Ruger Blackhawk and Security Six (both .357 magnum/.38 special) could also be available for a try-out with prior coordination).

It has a huge variety of activities, events and classes.

This kind of place is completely unlike a public range where you have goofballs wandering in and some crabby rangemaster telling you what not to do.

Please don't get fixated on compact or micro pistols like Kel-Tec and Bersa. They have poor sights, pack a nasty kick, and are hard to control. I have one, and learned to use it, but it is not a piece to get started with.

Women can pack surprisingly large handguns well (and surprise is a valuable advantage).
