Newbie here with a new p40

[mastinson]

Did I get a good gun, whats the reliability and durability like?

How many rounds before I need new parts?

What holsters for other models fit?

Can I get a flush fit mag for it?

Will it jam often till break in, and will just cheap winchester white box be ok?

Sorry for all the questions.

I put 150 rounds through today and never a ftf or a fte, also this is the most accurate handgun I have ever shot and recoil was hefty but manageable. I am thinking of getting another one at the next show in December if they have them. Also I have heard rumors that this is a limeted gun of only 1500 and this is not true dealer said they still make them just not alot of them and my gun was manufactured in 2006. Now if I could only find a holster to fit.

Congrats and Welcome!  You have made a fine choice in a firearm.

Your questions are welcome and don't be sorry.  Take a look through a few threads just below this and you will actually find most of your answers.

I have to give another shameless plug to my "Wicked" holster made by Eric of HBE Leatherworks.  I can't talk enough good about this guys work.

As for flush fit mags, just buy the compact 40 mags and put a regular base plate on them.  Both MecGar and Promag are used by forum members here.

Enjoy the hunting and reading through the forum.

Since the 40P uses the same frame as the P01 and the slide from a 40B would you say that the 40p would be a very durable weapon since the po1 was put through a riggerious torture test, and you think it would work just fine for any SHTF or natural disaster where you would need a weapon for personal defense?

BTW I have other handguns but they are small mostly snubs and I purchased this one to put away in my BOB just in case the above situation should arise just be better preperared. Also in the 250-300 rounds I have put through it it has never had a malfunction of any kind but I was just wanting other opinions.

Thanks
