Coincidentally, that’s also how you get good at handling your .40 cal pistol.
Does that mean you’re obligated to spend heaps of dough on brass cases? No sir, it does not. You can train with CCI’s Idaho-made Blazer Aluminum series ammunition instead.
CCI’s own heat-treatment process turns aircraft-grade aluminum into dependable shell casings. Those cases are not reloadable – full stop – but that’s the price you pay for a lower price tag.
The bullet is a 180 grain full metal jacket. It cannot attract a magnet. It is also not recommended for barrels or compensators that have ports (because a port could strip a piece of its thin, plated jacket clean off). Blazer’s data place the FMJ’s G1 BC at 0.146, which represents the following kind of performance out of a 4” test barrel:
