break in

This apparently is well accepted by all.
Not by me. When I buy a gun, I want it to work 100% right from the box. So far that has been the case. I have ten different semi-auto pistols in calibers from .22 to .45. Two 1911s. They have all worked virtually flawlessly (with the right ammo) from the get go. One of the 1911s - a Gold Cup - has at least 50K rounds through it. I can count the FTFs on the fingers of one hand. Maybe hard to believe, but true nonetheless.
If there is anything like a break in period, it is when the shooter is testing ammo to determine what is best for a particular gun. For example, one of my .22s - a High Standard - does not like CCI ammo but it will shoot Federal 711 without a hiccup. The 1911s (a Springfield and the Colt) don't seem to care.
