Thumbs up Finally Back...

Well I was finally able to get out and fire my new M&P 9MM, it was awesome... I am very happy with the weight, feel, and recoil, ect. I shot 100 rounds yesterday and I did quite well. I will have questions on why I would shoot either Left,Right,Up or Down so I can start to correct that.
That being said I have 2 questions and would appreciate everybody's answers. Here we go...
1. What is the best "Range Ammo" to buy? And Where?
If someone could explain what the better Grain would be.
And what to stay away from.
2. What Magazine Make/Model other then S&W can I buy that will fit that gun?

The pistol I have came with 2 Mags and I would like to stock up.
I have been looking online for both the Ammo and the Magazine but I am having a hard time locating ammo that will not be to expensive.

I figured it out, if I cannot find ammo I sure as hell better have good aim so when I throw my gun at someone, it will hit them in the face...
Thank You in Advance!!!

My m&ps eat everything. I stopped using WWB because I kept finding flawed rounds almost every other box. Most 9mm range ammo is 115g. Sd/hd ammo can range from 90-147g. I stay in the middle with 115-124g. I shoot whatever for practice and speer gold dots for hd/sd. Wally world has been pretty good to me for finding range ammo. Picked up 300rds of 9mm brassmaxx sat for $80. The gold dots cost about a dollar each and are stocked by most gun shops. I a little bias about handgun magazines, only mags from the manufacturer for me. usually cost around $30. Buds guns & midway usa are a few places that come to mind.

Quantico Tactical is a good place to buy S&W mags (Magazine- M&P 9mm Full Size at Quantico Tactical) They're out of stock right now but I've always had good experiences dealing with them. I would only use aftermarket magazines as a target (translation, I don't think very highly of them). Can't advise you on ammo, I handload all the rounds I shoot but when I used factory ammo, they would shoot anything I put into them. (never used steel or aluminum cased ammo though).
