Where is home? Buying ammo through the mail adds high shipping costs. In any case, you don't want to buy ammo in bulk until you've found the ammo your new pistol shoots best. Try a box of as many brands as you can, then think about buying in bulk. Your local gun shop will likely give you a better price per box when you order in bulk(usually 5 to 10 boxes). Be prepared to pay up front though.
