Mine eats everything so far. I have shot lots of different stuff through it.
I live in Ohio, and this thing is coming from Oregon....why are they so hard to get. If they were sitting in the display case at the gun stores I am sure they would sell more. All the local stores I called told me they get one in occasionally. They all had the PPK though.

You are fortunate, only those with a OO status usually get one...
Ammo? Feed it everything you want, just lots of it...

congrat's - I love mine, it's a phenomenal gun. If you don't like, just send it to me.
For practice, I usually shoot Fiocchi or Blazer Brass 115 grain, it loves both, no prob's.
I've used Gold Dot's, no problem (one self-inflicted thumb-on-slide jam, I now lock thumbs vs. thumbs up). BTW, I've used both Speer and Georgia Arms loaded Gold Dots, regular, +p, +p+, 115 and 124 grain, all fine.
I currently use Ranger SXT +P+ 127 grain, and occasionally Ranger Bonded +P 124 grain, also no problems. Rangers seem to feed the best of all the HP, are dirt cheap for carry ammo ($15-$21 for 50) and NO FLASH!!!!
The only thing mine doesn't like is Federal Hydroshocks... I bought a box because I miscounted a box of Ranger and ran out at the range. TWO jams in one box... one slammed the bullet back into the case significantly and jammed before firing, I still have that one sitting around somewhere
Fortunately I hate Hydroshocks because of the flash, so I wouldn't carry them normally anyway.
I hope you enjoy your new acquisition!

While on the topic of ammo, what's the cheapest place to buy ammo? Online? At the range a box of 50 .40 S&W was 18$ or something like that. What can I expect to pay for a box of 9mm?

I am lucky that at Academy, a sporting goods chain store here in TX, they sell it in that price range box per box.
That's what we like to hear! I had ordered my second P99c AS in 40 S&W a while ago but just got to take it down to the range this weekend. I love it even if it has a few issues. (Lot of light strikes, I put about 600 rounds of WWB down range and I think I fowled the striker channel pretty good).
