First time pistol owner! Edit: With range trip
Very very proud to announce that I got my first pistol today! The lucky new member to my family of guns is a Springfield Armory XD9.
I got it on a trade, and was kind of hoping for a XD over a M&P. Simply because I do not like the way you field strip the M&P with the little tool. Which is besides the point. What I am really interested in, is were I should go "shopping" for spare mags? Also, anyone know of some good deals on 9mm? And finally, the holster that came with it is for inside the waist, and I want to get a right handed hip holster, any suggestions?
Thanks guys you are the best!

Made my way to the local indoor shooting range, and got to put some rounds down the barrel! I put 125 rounds thru it, and it ran flawlessly! I choose a creepy clown target and a silhouette target. My walls in my apartment were looking a little bare, so I did some classy College Kid Decorating
Here is the Silhouette Target.
-The shots to the head were from pretty close, I'd guess 7 yards. Taking my time.
-The Chest shots were from 12-15 yards, and at a fast pace.
Here is the Clown Target. Same thing as above, took my time on the head from close. Fast paced body shots from 12-15 for fun
Yes I know that I'm knew to pistol shooting, but I'm trying to learn quick. I definitely need to get a feel for the trigger, and find a grip that really works good for me. I know this isn't the best groups you guys have ever seen, but its not what I was really concerned about on my first trip out! Thanks for looking
