I just bought one in a .40 last friday.It's the first Smith I've owed,and the first auto.It's a lot of fun to shoot.I shot two boxes out of it 165 blazers FMJ,and 180 federal eagles FMJ.It seems to like the 180's at 25 & 30 yds.I'm going to try some different hollow point weights next.I've been shooting revolvers for years.Didn't think I'd like autos,but I think I picked a good one to start with.
