RIA’s info available on the web says their 1911’s aren’t “broken in” until you hit 500 rds. Kimber says the same. For a 10mm, that’s about $300 worth of ammo. Only paid $399 for the gun, so the thought of running $300 of ammo through it to “work the bugs out”, doesn’t really appeal to me.

Not something I’d want to hear (“500 rd break-in”), on something I intended to carry for self-defense, being urged/expected to simply “ignore” feeding issues up to that point.

Others may have different goals for this gun. For me, it’s an occasional hog gun.
