Some pistols do need it. A good thing to do is do your homework before hand and see if one does. Now my SA ultracompact v10 did but its also a 1911 that is way shorter and runs off different system such as no bushing bull barrel and a mini full length guide rod. it did need about 500 rounds of 230 grain ball. but my milspec ran great right outta the box. just how it goes sometimes.
