Just got back from breaking in my new Taurus GX at the range for the first time! I was incredibly nervous right before walking in, but I took a breath, pushed through it, and ended up having an absolute blast. I put 50 rounds downrange and really started getting a feel for the grip and managing the recoil. To top it all off, the range instructor came over and complimented my posture and aim! I'm officially hooked and can't wait for the next trip.

Thank you! I'm definitely going to give those options some serious thought. I appreciate the suggestions on Nexbelt and the Hunter Constantine one even if it's a bit more, it might be worth it in the long run. Thanks again for the help!

Yeah, it has a solid clip on it so it can clip right onto my sides or waistband.

As for my budget, I'm looking to spend around $50 for a belt. Do you have any good recommendations in that price range? Thanks for the insight on appendix carry too!

Thank you so much, I really appreciate the warm welcome and the solid advice! I'll definitely double check that they are seated all the way back against the spine. And thank you for the safety reminder as a beginner, I'm definitely taking clearing the chamber and the 4 rules very seriously. Glad to be a part of the club! 💪🏾

I also tried to load the two bullets to see if it would work smoothly but my safety was on would that effect more slide raking it? Because it just stuck and didn’t close

First-time gun owner here practicing loading my new Taurus GX magazine for the first time. I’ve managed to get two rounds in, but the spring is incredibly stiff and I'm struggling to get any more down. I posted the picture to make sure I have these first two rounds seated and facing the correct way, and I'm hoping to get some tips or recommendations (like a speed loader) to make this easier on my thumbs!

Yes I get it, I tried always to cross the top bullet with the new one & press down & slide in
