I've found range ammo 180gr FMJ for pretty cheap too. Luckygunner.com has some good deals - the 500rd 180gr Winchester Ranger is only $145.
I guess another factor I'm weighing heavily is that I'll want to carry in the future and I'm realizing I'm falling in the "heavier is better" group of thought. As for classes, yes that's something I will definitely do - and that may remove the P30 (or any H&K model) from my choices of firearm. The more I research and the more I think about it, I may just go Glock 23. I appreciate the input on the Gen3 - I do like it and it would be cheaper than the Gen4 - so I can spend that extra savings on a SS guide rod and a 20lb spring.. what do you think?
