Sharpshooter
Just bought a S&W Shield 2.0 in 9mm. This gun is fun to shoot! Have run 150 rounds of Federal FMJ (range ammo) through it so far. Not a single issue other than the magazines (7 & 8) could only get 5 in at first. After 150 rounds getting 6 & 7 into them now.
Anyway, your thoughts on testing ammo to decide what to carry. I suspect this pistol will shoot everything just fine, rented an identical gun at LGS, I never had an issue, they say it was never reported with an issue.
So on to the mechanics, I bought 100 rounds of 3 flavors of JHP. What do you do when comparing ammo? I am thinking shooting 10 to a target, 10 of type 1, 10 of type 2 and 10 of type 3, and compare grouping and writing down what it feels like. I can probably do 150 rounds total before getting tired enough it will affect my accuracy. That would be 5 targets of 10 rounds for each flavor for 15 targets. (I print my own on 8.5" x 11"). Will shoot from 7 yards.
This is just the start but thought I would ask for input before I put my method in stone.
Thanks!
