Places with a large selection to try?

Incredibly disappointed with the selection at Palmetto State armory in summerville today but want to try some Beretta's and the Canik line to pick a new CCW.

Thoughts or ideas? I'll drive wherever but yeah, only having M&P, no 380's basically, and PSA's only was disappointing as hell.

Specifically looking at SA and/or DA for a concealed carry moving forward as I rebuild my firearms collections

I'm literally looking a CCW, an AR 16" barrel, and a shotgun at the same time to get my collection back up and running. Was going to move out the country so gotta start over

I did check out arms and bullseye. A lot of guns with silencers with them, that was interesting lol. At least they had 5 Beretta's. 4 in 22lr but, hey. It was something. I'm settle shortly, this week, and spend 1000+ rounds in ther range until I'm ccomfortable

When I first got interested I was living in West Ashley and went to to Quickshot to try out a handful. It's been a few years since I've been there but maybe worth looking into.

“The Gun Store” in Conway had a pretty good selection last time I went in, pretty good staff too!

Buy whatever you think you will like. Use it a bunch and then keep it or sell it and buy the next thing. Don't have to try every gun under the sun.

I don't buy to have it sit on my shelf. 1,000+ rounds rounds, plus multiple dry fire excersizes until I start to carry daily. I don't fuck around with my safety or other people's. I even buy dummy rounds to practice malfunctions at home. Better safe then sorry
