[QUOTE="udiablo, post: 1835825, member: 5748"] Suggest you patch/swab the bore to remove any crap/etc., and check the feel/function of the action to determine if some lube is needed. Then, if needed, put a little lube at major points of wear, and shoot some full power loads. The carry/tactical pistol should function with minimum wear-in, otherwise you may want to think about sending it to a good pistolsmith for some reliability work before you carry it. Different story for wad-cutters (target pistols) which are built much tighter and may require several rounds before they feed/eject reliably, springs matched to ammo, etc. And there are lots of 1911-clones out there, some seem to have been built for the purpose of removing dollars from your pocket, not for functioning reliably (these tend to make people buy Glocks).
