just curious as to what you guys might like to target shoot with, what kind of setup and accuracy you get. Just bought a S&W, M&P pro CORE 9mm today. It's the first semi I've ever owned and bought it to shoot targets with some of my friends who shoot a little. Anyone have that setup and can tell me what I can expect from it? What ammo to avoid?

M&Ps, especially in 9mm, are what ****** shoot. I'm not joking.
Either go with a Glock 20 (chambered in 10mm) or stick with decoupage.

Yup.
If you are legitimately target shooting and not practicing with another pistol, why would you shoot anything other than 22?
A .22 is all I ever shot targets with. I don't know what the cost is these days, but back when I used to go shooting, it was like a couple cents a bullet. You could shoot for hours and not run out. I think it is more like 5 or 6 cents a bullet now which still isn't bad. I think 9mm bullets cost at least 5 times that a shot. The cost adds up quick on those.
I have a Ruger Mark III Target that's a nice pistol in .22. Also a Sig Saur in a .22 in a 1911A1 style. The Ruger is very picky on ammo. It does not like Winchester, Remington, or Federal ammo. It does shoot Aguila without stove piping but make sure you clean it good. Overall I would recommend the Sig as it's not picky on ammo and much
Easier to clean. The Ruger is a ***** to reassemble

If all you want to do is punch holes in paper then get a .22. Ruger, Beretta, Sig are all excellent. I have a Browning Buck Mark Camper Stainless URX. Liked the way the grip felt, has a bull barrel, and I like stainless.
