Hey everyone
! as I mentioned in my introduction, I am brand new to the gun world, Ive never owned a gun and have been to the range as many times as I can count on two hands :/ Yesterday I left college to go back home before summer classes start, I picked up my SA XD9 at 9a.m./est and drove home, got there around 5p.m./est and had many things to do before I could actually sit down and check it out :'( Although everyone on this site knows what an SA XD9 looks like I figure it could only make this post better by putting some pictures up :idea: so here they are
:
Now the question parts, yes I am a newb (so giving me some burns are ok, constructive criticism can only help) , and just got my first gun/hand gun ever so I am new to all of this and know that any advice will really help!
1) Should I clean the gun before taking it out to the range? I havent used it once. Never been shot.
2) Will Hoppes #9, Rem oil wipes, and formula 3 gun conditioner, be the only maintenace supplies I need for now? I bought some breakfree as well but heard I should be very careful using it.
3) The 9mm ammo that you can by at walmart, (probably winchester, etc.) is that ok to use, regardless that it is inexpensive?
Thanks ahead of time for feedback, etc. I have been doing a lot of research and have found all tips etc, very helpful!
