Demonstrator Rental Cost:
Although it is not free to shoot these demonstrators, a few dollars can save you from making a bad decision on a purchase.
All ammunition will be provided by The Tactical Toolbox. Sorry, you can't shoot your own reloads or ammo you bring yourself. No offense, but these are my personal firearms, and I want them intact at the end of the day.
Cost for handguns:
$5 per 10 rounds
$22 per 50 round box
$7 per 10 rounds for .44 Mag
$30 per 50 rounds for .44 Mag
$6 per 50 rounds for .22 LR
Cost for rifles:
.223 / 5.56mm: $6 per 10 rounds
.308 / 7.62 Nato: $12 per 10 rounds
Is this too expensive?
Considering that you are able to test out several different handguns for as little as $5 each, a handgun testing session may cost as little as $15-$30 to test out most of the autoloaders. If you then found that you really don't like shooting the handgun you might have initially thought you wanted to purchase, you would be saving yourself a lot of money. Because a used handgun nets about $100 less than it cost new, immediately reselling a used handgun usually is a losing proposition. Using my demonstrators at this reasonable cost can really help a customer decide what works best for them and save them the unfortunate experience of buying a gun they find out they don't like after shooting it once.
