As stated, FMJ's are for perforating paper (or military use) only.
Buy one box of a couple different JHP rounds and try them. Pick the one that performs best (no malfuctions, best groups, ...) and go buy a few more boxes of it. Shoot 100 or so rounds of FMJ's to get the gun dirty, then shoot all of the JHP's to verify no malfunctions. Then go buy a few more boxes for carry use.
There's a "rule of thumb" that 200 rounds with no malfuctions is good enough for carry. Obviously at $1+ a shot, that gets expensive. There's another rule of thumb that says buy new carry rounds once a year. Use your own judgement.
I use Hornady TAP 200gr JHP's. They're hard to find anymore so I assume I'll have to switch to something else when I run out.
Be aware of bullet "set-back" when re-chambering a round. For example, your carry gun has JHP's in it. You go to the range, unload those rounds and perforate some paper with FMJ's. Then reload the JHP's when you leave. The act of chambering the same cartridge several times can push the bullet down in the case a bit. This can cause the pressure to increase to an unsafe level. .45 ACP ammo is known to be more prone to set-back than others.

What about the Rossi .410/.22? it can handle a deer and everything down from there since it has interchangable parts

.......and have a gun that jams? LOL

unless you dont want a pregnancy id stay away from the condoms because they are actually not so practical for carrying water unless you put them in a sock first, which protects them but limits their capacity. They also aren't easily tied/untied without breaking them.
Instead Id Gerber breast milk freezer bags. They are a LOT tougher, don't need a sock or sleeve, and are easily opened/closed repeatedly.
-
appreciate the tips
-
i know practice makes perfect but is there anything i can do to make my accuracy better?
-
for the first time and i absolutely love it. def was off the mark as i havent shot a handgun in almost 10 years but still. im already wanting to ship it off to Springer Precision to get some work done as well. went with my buddy who brought his Glock 36 and we swapped guns and im glad i chose the the XD. felt a lot better to shoot and not once did it jam like the glock did. anyways here is the 4 targets i shot as i only had 100 rounds. not sure what happened on target 2 LOL
-
just to give a heads up the Sportsman Supply in Hixson (Chattanooga) changed its hours and is now closing an hour earlier every day. thought id pass it along
