Congrats on your purchase of an excellent little self-defense pistol. The price you paid isn't bad, especially since Cabela's has it on sale for $479, and you would have spent more on gas to go get one there.

I have a great dislike for the Monarch brand. I had two squib loads (out of two boxes) with their 9mm, so I will never purchase them again. If you are going to actually carry the pistol for self-defense, then spend the money for a more reputable cartridge, and use the Monarch for practice. Stick with Remington, Hornady, Corbon, Winchester, Federal, Speer, CCI for self-defense.

If there are no other retail outlets in your area that have SD ammo, you can order it from Natchez Shooter's Supply or Midsouth Shooter's Supply. They are on the internet.
