The Billy is the proud new owner of a Smith and Wesson M&P pistol in .45 cal. My very first handgun, go big or go home I always say. Took it to the range today and blasted off a 50 pack of Blazers. After reading alot of posts on the forum and much thought, I have decided to dedicate the two 10 round magazines stricktly to my defensive ammo (JHP) and today I bought an extended mag (14) to take to the range to hammer off the cheap rounds. I figure the more I handle the mags/ammo, the more likely something is going to get scratched/dirty/worn and since the carry mags are "mission critical" I want to have them perfect.
As a side note, thanks to the guys and gals here for all your extensive training and experience you have passed on to us "newbies", it often goes un-noticed, but if it werenet for the advice of knowledgable people like ya'll, I wouldnt be able to make as good decisions, as this stuff gets very complex.
Planning on spending alot of time at the range, met 3 guys there today that were very knowledgable and helpfull. I may even attend the open carry tomorrow in Detroit.
Carry on!
