Great choice
...
Congrats,
I've owned 2 P229n/r 40's nearly 4yrs now, and both have 7k flawless rounds thru them and they are a joy to shoot, consistently accurate, and for HD/SD I, too, use the 180gr..
But, sometime up the road, do get some 165gr FMJ, as they are fun to shoot at targets at 30ft on out, as they have a tad more kick, but the higher velocity gets them there faster and straighter..
But you're off to a great start
Enjoy,
Ls
