Thanks all for the insightful responses. They really got me thinking... Especially the point about the fact that it would have to have been a DA pull the second time. I don't remember having to pull the trigger that hard the second time. The DA pull is takes quite a bit more force compared to the SA pull and I'd like to think I'd remember having to pull it that hard for the second pull. This doesn't mean that it didn't happen (it very well could have).
It's interesting that what I experienced was a relatively rare event (but such has been the story of my life)... I would have stopped and thought about what happened in more detail had I known what just took place. All in all, I learned a very valuable lesson: if you pull the trigger and nothing happens, stop and check everything. It was my first time going shooting by myself (and the first time I fired a gun I bought) and I'll always remember it.
Anyway, the type of ammo I used is in the pic below (got it for $5.99 for 100 rounds from a big name retailer and I purchased 700 rounds).
Today, I fired the gun again (this time with different ammo) and everything went OK (although, being new at this, I have not idea, and probably never will know whether the aim was off). I only fired about 50 rounds (I spent the rest of the time firing the M&P 9 2.0 I just bought.. (also below)
And damn was it fun
