Congrats on your purchase. If the gun fits your hand well price shouldn't be too much of a factor and $599 isn't too bad; I've seen them new for as much as $650. As far as ammo is concerned, the P226 likes pretty much anything. One of my friends had an ammo container of various 9mm rounds he'd collected and dumped into the can. I loaded FMJ, JHP's, Black Talons, Winchester Silver tips, Hydrashoks; all fed fine, even with mixed rounds in the mags. I usually use American Eagle, Speer, and Blazer, but it depends if your pistol will be picky. 10-day wait sucks, but it will definitely be worth it, kind of like saving dessert for last. Have fun.
