GOOD EVENING VIEWERS!!!!



I'm picking up my MP-45 tonight or tomorrow with plans on hitting the range on Sunday.



This will be my first Auto Pistol. Could I get some sage advice on how to prep the gun to make it's first outing as good as possible?

Take a class to learn how your pistol works, the various problems that can occur, how to make and determine it is safe, and how to care for the gun. Seriously, this is your BEST choice.

Clean? If so - how far in do I go?

The manual shows how to field strip for cleaning. You did read it right?

Fred_Scuttle said:

Dry fire? If so - how many times and just WHAT exactly am I making better through the dry firing I'm reading about?

Dry Fire is important to get used to the gun. What it makes better is YOU.

Load the mags to just 7-8 for a while or go full load and max out 10's right off the bat?

Designed for 10, load to 10. Heck, load the ten, chamber and then load one more. That is how the gun was designed to be used.



Fred, I don't want to sound harsh, but please consider taking a class, or at least get someone to go with you that knows what they are doing. Too much could happen. For example, do you know what to do if the gun just goes click? What if it goes off, but the sound is too quiet and the slide doesn't cycle?











AT THE RANGE



Anything I should look for first mag?



First few mags in?



Thanks in advance,
