Hello! A ways back when the kids came along. I made a couple decisions. I sold my motorcycle and my Ruger Security Six .357. I remedied the motorcycle issue a few years ago and just this past week, acquired a new gun. Looked and held many to a point it was getting confusing but the one that felt just right for my hand was the Springfield XD40. I was all set to buy then I asked the salesman to let me hold a Ruger .357 like my old gun, just for grins and giggles. He handed me a Ruger SP1 and man it was a nice piece. Told the guy I now was sorry I asked to hold it and was going home to think more on it. Couple days later, I was back and bought the XD. Guess the urge that I always wanted an auto won over. Couple questions and sorry if they show my lack of experience.
The slide release is super hard to operate, will this ease up with some break-in?
Not knowing much about ammo, I relied on the salesman to recommend a good home defense cartridge and handed me a box of Hornady's. (also picked up a couple boxes of range loads) These things look wicked. Could there be any legal ramifications that could arise out of using such an aggressive cartridge? ie: the shooter obtained a bullet that would do the most harm/damage, etc.
Looking forward to the conversations on the forum.
