I can easily go through 300 rounds in an hour at the range.

$10 for the Range
$90 for ammo
$10 for targets (i have my own)

Thats $110 for an hour, ****s expensive.

Now 9mm on the other hand, its only $15 for 100 rounds little more reasonable

Thats why i was saying if hes buying a gun to SHOOT then i think the 9mm is more wallet friendly an faster to learn.

The .40 is for STOPPING power, but as a range gun IMO its expensive to buy ammo.
I can't remember the exact price, but I remember the walmart off of Lawrenceville Suwanee and McGinnis Parkway had boxes of 250 and 500 for dirt cheap. But it's exactly as you said; the 9mm is a lot better for the range. The bullets are cheaper and it will be more fun to shoot at the range because of the low recoil. You're gonna spend more time shooting your gun at targets than at people. So I guess the best option would be to stick with a 9mm sub-compact.
