Re: Would you carry a gun you have never fired?

Not a chance! Fire at least a few hundred rounds through it. Better yet take it through a training class where you shoot a couple hundred rounds. You won't know problems with your gear unless you get out and use it. I won't even carry ammo that I haven't ran at least 50 rounds of through my gun.

I took a pistol class May 4-5 where we fired 900+ rounds in two days. About 700 rounds in my rear sight of my XS Big Dots came off my gun and they were installed by a "professional" gunsmith. I guess he didn't think they needed the loctite that came with them. Of course you probably won't shoot 700 rounds in a fight but I am still glad I found the problem.
