I have a few revolvers and three subcompact (7 round) semi-autos.
Now for a bunch of firsts.
Recently I purchased a Walther P99AS .40, a S&W M&P 40c and a S&W M&P Pro 5 inch in 9mm.
These are my first full sized and compact semi-autos. Today I took the two
.40 calibers on their maiden voyages.
I have five magazines for the Walther and 3 standard and one full sized magazine with X-Grip for the compact, effectively making it a compact with 15 round capacity.
Both were cleaned with Slip 2000 Gun Cleaner and Degreaser (water based, biodegradable and made in the USA) and lubricated with Slip 2000 EWL (Extreme Weapons Lubricant) synthetic. The product came with an EAG AR upper. EAG, Pat Rogers uses it on their School ARs and is the lubricant that was used on the Filthy 14, a BCM shot over 30K rounds without cleaning.
Pat Rogers has a Colt with over 15K rounds rounds through it and purportedly never cleaned.

No affiliation with the Company. Just trying the free samples.
Another new product (to me) I used for the first time now that I have to deal with these relatively high capacity magazines is an UpLULA universal pistol magazine loader. Great product and reduces the wear and tear on your fingers and hands, makes short work of 15 round magazines. Definitely going to get one for the AR.

Will also see if the .40 caliber was the right move. Caliber with capacity.
Mid priced ammunition. And we will see just how really "snappy" .40 is.
It has been a couple years since I have been on a snappy XD sub .40.
Off to the range in a few hours, a new one with the latest in range technology features.
