I expect my firearms to function 100% when I plop down my hard earned money. I suppose someone could try to talk me out of that expectation. Maybe they could etch the "break in" requirement on the side of the slide assembly. Dang it guys, It's a pistol, not an automobile engine. I...

It is an interesting idea that machined parts have to be rubbed together to make them fit. The three machine shop bosses I had in high school would have a fit. It's like telling them to use sandpaper instead of a tool to achieve a good finish on parts. There is a manufacturer out there that...

tolerances Guys & Gals, The term tolerance is thrown around to describe fit. If you have a 1.000" +/- .001" peg and a 1.002" +/-.001" hole then you have a fit of .000" - .004" and a tolerance of +/-.001" for the parts. The point is that the parts fit. You don't need to rub them...

I have a Kahr P9. I had failure to battery problems right out of the box. The folks at Kahr, though very nice people, were of no use solving my problem. I finally figured it out as excessive extractor tension. The cartridge was not sliding easily under the extractor which caused excessive...

Hi Folks, I recently aquired a new CZ75P-01. I shot over 1000 rounds thru it with no problem. This pistol is well made and has no issues at all. I didn't have to "break it in" to make it function. Now I found this forum and there appears to be nothing but satisfied owners of CZ...

"break in" I expect my firearms to work when I plop down my hard earned cash. I understand that any weapon should be shot until it is proved trustworthy. I cannot accept the idea that a firearm has to be shot until it even functions. It appears that a certain manufacturer is promoting...

Kahr Crap I finally got my P9 working today. First, the idea that a firearm needs "breaking in" is BS. If it is not reliable out of the box then there is something wrong. I am amazed that there are so many people who believe this BS. Second, "limp wristing" is another excuse for a...
