Today was the first chance I've had to go to the range with my new PT145 Pro.
Many firsts for me actually.
First time I've owned a handgun.
First time I've fired a handgun.
(For me, I don't count bb/pellet pistols)
Heck the last time I even fired a weapon was Air Force basic training in 1982 and a qual test in 1983 but all of that was M16.
Today before I knew it the box of 50 was done.
The only issue I had was during my second mag, I somehow hit the mag eject during the recoil. That happened a couple of times. Adjusted my grip and had no problems the rest of the time.
There was a CHL instructor there watching and functioning as a range safety officer. I had gone through about half my box of shells when he told me not to let anyone try to change anything about how I was shooting (i.e. stance, grip, trigger pull, etc).
In comparison I tried out my wife's new Ruger SP101 .357 Magnum. Tried 38 Special loads with no issue. .357 Mag loads however were painful!
So it was a good day on the range and I'm very happy with my choice of the PT145 Pro.
