Freedom Armory will let you rent a gun.

http://www.freedomarmory.com/

You must be a member.
$20 a year for a casual shooter. Lets you shoot a couple times a month.
$12 per half hour of shoot time at their indoor range.
Gun rentals range anywhere from $10 - $25 for a half hour.

You must also buy their ammo for the rented guns.

They also offer training classes.

A quick drive down 83 and you could be there in 30 minutes or so. It's down in Glen Rock.

My wife's Uncle is a member there and really likes it. I've never personally been there so if you try it, you'll have to let me know.

I'm hoping to find a place where you don't have to be a member. Although Glen Rock isn't far I dont think I go down there much after I actually have a gun. There is an outdoor public range about 10 minutes from my house.

This is what I found too, about a 50/50 split.

The XD is VERY nice. Shoots nice, feels nice, don't recall price but don't think it is terrible either. Win all the way around.

Well you know you will be shooting a Glock 23 & Ruger LCP soon.

Plus anything else you want to rent.

I didn't shoot or buy anything yesterday, in fact, I didn't even leave the house. I'm lazy. And I'm in no hurry. Probly won't buy till Spring anyway.

Hey by chance would you have an extra G23 barrel you want to sell? I'm pretty close to picking up a G32 and a G23 barrel is a direct fit in case I want to shoot the cheaper .40 ammo.
