Today, I went to my local shooting range to try my new beretta with some Magtech 9mm luger full metal jacket I purchased not too long ago. I went through the safety checks, it was a little difficult to load the rounds in the magazine, maybe because I didn't know how to use that accessory that came with the gun that helps you load the rounds. Originally I thought the magazine carried 17 rounds but I can only put 15. I only had two magazines, I think I will need to buy two more, and load the magazines at home so all I need to do is shoot at the range. I grabbed the paper target that was left for me, hooked it up and brought it to the 50 feet mark(I think). The range had two red lines painted on the floor, it was the first red line. The gun handled flawlessly, no jams, recoil was acceptable, I think I wasn't using the sight correctly at the beginning because my first shots were in one specific area. About 15 of 100 rounds I shot were headshots, my instructor told me to always aim for the head since it is the only way to stop someone out cold. The gun got warm around the barrel, I guess it's normal after firing 30 rounds because I shoot left, I had some trouble releasing the magazine, you could probably change the location of the button, other than that I had a great time at the range today and will continue to go on a weekly basis to improve my skills.
