Reloading plated bullets, instead of jacketed, you could reload a box of 50 for about $6.50 -6.75.
Jacketed bullets would jump the cost up another dollar or so. These prices take for granted that you have a "free" supply of brass.
If you shop, you can find 9mm ammo on sale for around $10 a box.. usually it's more like $12.
I buy most of my 9mm ammo, but I also reload for it, when I'm bored and have the time. Trying to scavenge up all your brass from a day at the range is an exercise in frustration. I usually end up with about 40 out of 50 from a box. I think the others vanish into thin air...

That is true... if you don't mind using some type of moon clips.. If you get a full moon clip, it becomes a sort of speedloader, which can be pretty handy.
And with the cost difference between 9mm and 38sp ammo, the 9mm starts looking pretty attractive.
The only advantage to the 38 would be the capability of using bullets over 150gr, which seems to be about the practical limit to the smaller 9mm casing.
A six shot SP101, or Taurus 85-ish would just about be the berries, I think, for a "revolver person"....

Range Report: I am very satisfied with the PT111. The trigger is a bit stiff compared to my Ruger Mark III Hunter 22, but it is not too bad.
I only ran 20 rounds through it because the magazines are so hard to load by hand. I can see my next purchase is going to be one of those magazine loader thingies.
It was kind of hot at the range today so I wasn't motivated to spend much more than an hour out there.
