So, to reinforce, make sure to take a good quality, well maintained firearm that you are familiar with and know operates well for you and you should have no problems if you can hit the target with it.
Although I know my Glock or XDm's will fire, and fire, and fire, I always clean them after use. It is therapeutic for me to sit there, disassemble my gun, and then clean every nook and cranny. I also know it is highly likely it will go "bang" when I want it to. I rented a Glock 9mm at the firing range because my son wanted to shoot one, and I had left mine at home. It looked terrible. There was fouling everywhere, almost dripping off the dang thing. It shot just fine. However, I would not trust my personal gun to that.I put at least 1000 rounds through my XDm 3.8" 9mm before I used it to qualify. It was second nature by then.
