A quick Safety Tip:
When you are at the range, bring a small sand bag. If your weapon misfires, remove the ammunition clip first, then remove the faulty bullet. Place the bullet under the sandbag until you are ready to leave the range. Call the rangemaster to collect the bullet and he will place it in the appropriate EOD container.


Ammunition and General Tips:
1) If you want stoping power use StarFire ammunition. Do not use it for the range, because it is expensive. Be sure that it is legal in your state first.

2) If you want escape abilities, then use a hollow point. Federal Ammunition sells a good series of 9mm hollow points.

3) Never use "reloads". They are unsafe, regardless of what so-called experts tell you. They can damage you and your weapon.

4) If you are right-handed, then also learn how to shoot with your left hand.

These tips have REALLY helped me out of a few jams (especially #4).
