1. Break in on a tight 1911 is generally considered to be 500 rounds with cleanings at least every 100 rounds.

2. All semi-automatic pistols that do not utilize shok-buf systems are less likely to have feed problems if slide lock is released using the slingshot technique(grab slide, pull back and release) rather than using the slide lock lever. Failure to go fully into battery (cartridge is stripped from magazine and loaded into chamber but slide does not continue fully forward to lock up) is probaly the most common problem that using the slingshot will correct.
