sweet. lmk what you think when you get the ammo and shoot it. best prices for ammo i could find(other then the gun shows). went to a police supply store and they wanted $40 for 50 rounds. hell no lol. and they got .223 ammo for a reasonable price.

i can get 40 S&W for about 17.99 + tax per box of 50.

i reload even cheaper then that...... granted they arent FMJ they are lead rounds. but who the hell cares its cheaper to shoot

I like it. Did some research before i bought and talked to a few people i know and they liked it as well. I think it has a very even wieght distribution. Not to heavy. The 3.5 has a little recoil. Its not bad. The gun came with a holster, 2-16 round clips, 2 extra back straps. And a clip loader.

Ammo right now is ridiculously expensive. You can buy repacked ammo for cheap if you just want to go to the range. Luckily my stepdad is a detective, and every once in a while the cops put in huge orders of ammo for cheap. That's when I usually buy 1000 or so rounds.

been awhile since I've bought any ammo but I always use the 100rd boxes of winchester white box from walmart for the range, cheap and I have never had a failure... the last time I bought ammo I horded all I could find since everyone was freaking over obama and the gun laws so things may have changed since then
