First time poster, long time lurker.
Well I bit the proverbial bullet and purchased a brand new Beretta 92FS yesterday! After much consideration I went with the 9mm over the .45 ACP round ($$$) and settled on the Beretta over the SIG. (I've already picked out the next two handguns, this may become and obsession...). I like the full size frame for my meat hooks (I am 6'5" 220#). I have a one bedroom condo and figured the picatinny rail was a bit much to clear 800 SQFT, or I would have went with the M9A1, as it looks like the 92A1 cant be purchased here. Sebastian from Gunther Guns gets an assist, nice guy!
I am wondering where to go from here. I would like to get a membership at a range, but I want to hold out a bit to see if Gunther's gets their range permit approved. I work less than a mile from Gunthers, and I'm about 10 miles from Iron Sights. I may just buy a membership to Iron Sights and see if Gunthers gets everything together in a year.
Ammo wise I am thinking about the 1000 bulk Speer Lawman ( http://www.luckygunner.com/9mm-124-g...d#videogallery ), would anyone recommend a different practice round or are the reloads from Iron Sights just as good?
I was thinking about an autoloader, but maybe loading by hand would be better practice? I dont plan on loading a mag under duress anytime soon but who does other then front line personnel?
After a year or so (and god willing court precedent, plus all other obstacles put aside) I would like to get a CCW permit. What would be the best path of training? Even if I cant eventually get a CCW the training would certainly not be worthless.
My plan is to practice about 100 - 200 rounds a week (justifying a membership to a range) and I am a tinkerer so I would like to disassemble and reassemble the gun fairly often. Other than incorrect installation are there concerns about constantly stripping and reassembling the Beretta?
I know a few of these issues have been covered, but I NEEDED to post SOMETHING!
Everyone have a great Halloween and a hearty hello to all of my new CalGuns friends!

Congrats on the Beretta. The 92F was the first pistol I ever fired back in the day.
