FN or HP is better than the FMJ RN (someone or somewhere told me, flat nose catches the round pin body better than the round nose, which might slip off...)

They say you need 100rd, I didn't end up using that much, not that I'm a good shot... Definitely have at least three mags. I had two at first and ended up loading my mags in the middle of the shooting... Later another guy there let me borrow one of his G19 mags (thank you!)

Hey, that might have been me. You had the glock .40 cal with a 9mm conversion barrel right?

That was the only time I shot pins as well and it sure was fun. The only thing stopping me lately is the extreme cold. If its nice out this time I will be out for sure. I finally ordered some new magazines for my RIA 1911, so that will be my pin slayer of choice.
