Dox, once you get a few hundred rounds of plinking ammo through it, make sure to run a full 50-round box of whatever hollowpoint you're going to keep it stocked with. Yes, it's basically burning $25, but it's a necessary expense. Since you went with the .40, I like 180-grain Speer Gold Dot and 180-grain Federal HST. 180-grain .40 recoils pretty gently and is an excellent man stopper.

We will expect lots of pics and info

You could even do an unboxing! I love those for some reason.
