I been checking this forum for the past month and actually got alot out of it so i figured i'de sign up and join the discussions. I Just picked up an SD40 VE. I have not shot it yet hopefully sometime this week I will. I want to pick up some jhp for self defense, is it true you cant shoot them at an indoor range ? Im in the Orlando area of Florida. I want to buy a decent cleaning kit, are "bore snakes" the best route for cleaning the barrel ?

Any and all advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
