First, thanks everyone for your feedback. I am looking into reloading in the future, but in the meantime, looks like about 30-cents a round is the cheapest I'll find. That's cool. That's what I'm figuring. Maybe if I start shooting with it, I'll get used to it - and the mag extension will...

I don't have any other Glocks, but I have shot the Glock 30 and generally loved it. I actually prefer a slightly larger grip when I'm shooting larger caliber guns. I've just held the XDs in my hands - I've also shot the Glock 36 and it was a little small for me - was awkward with my pinky...

If you don't mind, let me know what you think of the XDs. Overall I like how the gun feels, but I've never shot it, and I'm not liking the 5+1 round capacity.

Guys, I have an M&P 22 right now and I'll probably be getting a .45 here real soon, either the M&P 45 or the Glock 30. I know for a self defense round, I need to be loading the magazine with jacked hollow point rounds (and I'm willing to pay the money for good rounds). However, what do you...

Federal Champions didn't work well in my M&P 22 - in fact, I got FTEs on EVERY magazine load. It wasn't pretty. If you can actually find CCIs without paying double the price for them, by all means go for it. I haven't been able to find a place that has CCIs in stock yet. GunBroker has them...

I tend to agree with the others here. Good choice by avoiding the spur of the moment purchase.

Yup - read that all over, and I'm trying my best to get my hands on some Mini Mags without paying double the price for it. But this thread confirmed my initial impressions - my gun just doesn't like those Federal Champions, and that's it. It does like some other Federal ammo that I put...

If you bought all that Blazer ammo when you purchased the gun, then yeah, you got pretty lucky - and good for you, I wish I got that lucky. I've been doing what I can with the ammo that I've been able to find. I did find some CCIs on GunBroker - I paid more than I should have for them, but I'm...

I cleaned my gun before I took it out the first time, just didn't clean it before I took it out the second time. I did clean it last night, though, so we'll see what kind of difference it makes the next time that I go to the range.

I found some CCIs off of Gunbroker, so I'll get to shoot some of the better stuff here shortly. I knew that some ammo doesn't work well in guns, I just didn't know it would get THAT bad. One thing I do know - no more Federal Champions in my gun.

Yeah, heard the Winchesters are pretty hit or miss too. Been trying to find some CCIs for a while now...will keep looking. :)

Guys, Here's the situation. Bought the M&P22 a few weeks ago. Shot it for the first time last weekend after cleaning it. Shot pretty well through a box of Federal Target Ammo...out of 315 shots, about 5 were FTEs. I went again today after not cleaning the gun with some Federal Champions...

That's the problem right there. Everybody recognizes the fact that ammo is hard to come by, so when they do find ammo available somewhere, they buy as much as they can which, in turn, exacerbates the ammo problem. It's like a catch-22. Even the people who wouldn't necessarily hoard (like me)...

It's out there. I started with nothing about 2 weeks ago, and now I have about 5000 rounds. Aguila shipped to suppliers this week and already MidWay is about out of them (I got a few boxes). Federal Champions shipped to Cabelas this week to, and I bought about 10 boxes. CCIs were at Cabelas...

So I took the .22 to the range today. Overall, it was a successful outing. I went through one entire box, so I have about 315 rounds through it. This gun is REAL easy to shoot. I mean, you hardly have any recoil at all, which is both good and bad. It's great when you're new to all this and...
