You need to find a local range that rents guns. I don't think your going to find a dealer that will just randomly let you shoot his guns.

I know this can be a PITA. I have traded and sold more pistols than I care to say. I would suggest just finding a gun that fits well in your hand and is comfy to hold. Worry about caliber once you find a platform you like.

You would be talking about Sunset Hill http://sunsethill.slvrcreek.com/home.htm

While you dont rent them they let you shoot the guns they have under supervision ... only problem is they aren't going to have the selection of handguns you would see in a shop.

If you don't mind a drive, Target World in Chalfont rents guns. Sames ones they stock, mostly.
