bought one of the first p229's that came out. since I haven't shot a factory handgun round I years this is right up my alley. I like the idea that's it is good to at least 100yds and can load it for the same price as 9mm. just have to get used to the idea it's loud. never had a feed problem,ever. have shot at least 10,000 since it was new and replaced the recoil spring after each2500 rds. for those who load, nosler bullets and Remington bullets in their 115 and 124 hp load great.
