I was at the local outdoor range this weekend, and a guy in the pistol lanes next to me was trying out his Ruger LCP .380 for the first time. I was shooting my 9x18 Makarov to his right.

The guy probably put 50 rounds through the brand new gun, but I don't think he made it through a single magazine without at least 1 failure to feed or failure to eject. He said "Well, it's a brand new gun...what do you expect?"

Is this par for the course with a new gun in some serious need of a break-in period?
