Let's say you have a 200-rounds-to-proof your new defense pistol. You manage to fire off many times that, over an extended period of time (days, weeks, months, years, whatever) without malfunction, and are now carrying/storing the gun for defense.
Then, one fine day, you experience a single malfunction at the range. Nothing big, just a simple FTE or FTF.
Do you "go back to zero" and remove that weapon from service until your malfunction-free limit is again reached?
Under what conditions do you consider it okay to "chalk it up" as a fluke, instead?
It happened to me last week, with a firearm I keep loaded, but do not routinely carry or store for "readiness." I have removed it from said service but, as I mentioned, it wasn't "first up", anyway.
Thanks for sharing.
