They sell pistols at the range I go to, and yesterday they were VERY generous in taking my LC9-LM as a partial trade toward a new SR9. I don't think I could have received much more selling the gun on my own. They asked me what I wanted in trade and that's what they gave me!

Also, I thank this range for reasonable fees... $6/hour (outdoor range - multimillion dollar investment) whereas there are (indoor) ranges in the city charging $20/hour. I know there's a difference, but still... wonder how they can recoup $5 million by charging $6/hour???

I've never gone anywhere but Atterbury, and when it's cold this winter, I'll gear-up and still go there. I'm loyal & it's appropriate to train in foul conditions/cold as well. You can't choose when the bad guys decide to materialize. I hated training in the cold in the Army, at least here I get to go home when finished!

Thanks, Atterbury Shooting Complex!

BTW, still, nothing can replace my Glock. I thank everyone here for helping me decide to 'go Glock' as my first gun. I lurked around a month before buying a handgun and before joining the forum.
Glad I joined.

Glad to have you PW! Thanks for the info., I have a SR9 and enjoy it very much! You will too. Thanks for being an important part of the forum.

Glad to be part of things here, though I'm not very 'vocal' usually. I think I've been here five months now.
Going back to range today if weather permits. Going to compare my G19, XD9 subcompact, and SR9...
I misunderstood Herman Cain last year and thought 9-9-9 meant to buy three 9mm's... LOL, he inspired me.

Good for you. Three 9 mm saves money just buying or loading ammo. Anyways congratulations.

Maybe by selling lots of guns to people who come in just to use the range. I know I've picked up a couple at my range/shop that I really wasn't planning on buying. If I hadn't been there to go shooting, I wouldn't have been there to buy them.

Add to that selling lots of ammo and targets for a decent markup and I guess it works over time.
