510kut: BLM, Concord (when law enforcement aren't using it), Richmond Rod and Gun Club, Sunnyvale Gun Club, Los Altos something or other (fuck I forgot the exact name) or drive to Sac if you compete long range. Sac has the premier match rifle range in all of NorCal - you'll see some serious professional competitors there on match days. There should be a short rifle range out near Pittsburg/Bay Point somewhere too but it might be trap only now I don't remember. Also depends what type of rifles you plan on shooting, as some ranges (per policy not law) don't allow certain types/calibers.
Mauro, you don't really get the most out of the blackout round unless you plan on running it suppressed. You live in a NFA friendly state don't you? Wait nevermind I don't think you do. Also, it lacks the range of .308 and ammo is can be spotty/real pricey unless you reload.
I've also owned all of those handguns and it comes down to personal preference. I hated older generation HK's (USP's etc.), but the HK45c is probably my favorite polymer gun (after some mods) in .45. I had a GGI custom P226 in .40, but I never warmed to the round - would have much preferred it in 9mm. The classic West German P228 without rails is probably the softest shooting and best balanced "modern" 9mm. You should also check out the Smith and Wesson's M&P line if you want to stick with polymer (Apex tactical and a couple other companies make great drop-in and fitted parts). Not a fan of Glocks personally, but they have their tried and true place.
