Excellent. Thanks Dave, I will try these out next time I'm at the range, and let you know my findings. Going off of the first couple trips, I will probably end up in the "Jerking or Slapping Trigger / Breaking Wrist Down, Pushing Forward, or Drooping Head" range. I printed Target 01, and Target 02, I will shoot 15 rounds at each target, first at 7yds, then at 10yds, and report back.

I would say buy the cheapest ammo you can ( brass cased) for target practice. Most of us carry hollow points for every day carry.

I would advise a mag of carry ammo every couple months or at least twice a year just to insure that you handle it right. I have seen a couple people get unexpected kicks when they shoot their HP ammo. I think they were using plus P though.
