When you buy a brand new automobile, don't you have to go easy on the engine for a while before you start driving really fast?
It is the nature of the beast - some things, by design, need a break-in period and no one who has researched that product should expect it to have top performance right out of the box.

This is a reasonable assumption. However, I have owned or had experience with quite a few centerfire firearms that have run
perfectly (following the prerequisite cleaning and lubing) right out of the box, including a Colt Government XSE, Walther P99AS, Kahr CM9 (this despite all the talk of the Kahr break-in period), and several semi-auto long arms, such at my Spikes M4LE, Saiga AK, and Remington 11-87 Premiere.
So it's quite possible to have a semi-auto run reliably out of the box, making it more difficult to accept excuses for those that don't.
