I see exactly, and the discussion can lead to a extremely long debate. If I have a small issue with a new 1911, I've found it's usually an extractor problem that's easily remedied by tension adjustment. After 150 rounds, if it doesn't function properly, send it back. I personally would not carry a gun that hasn't fired a minimum of 500 consecutive rounds with absolutely no problems.Oldgringo wrote:Congratulations, that's a beautiful pistol for sure.

I guess it's just me but, shouldn't a pistol that costs as much as a Kimber or a PT1911 be flawless out of the box? Really now, if this or any other pistol requires 3-500 rounds for "break-in", why isn't this done at the factory rather than ship out an unsafe product?
Anybody see where I'm going with this?
