I expect any gun to function out of the box. If it doesn't the manufacturer screwed up. It happens, the only 1911 i have that didn't work was a Kimber, I had to dimple the slide stop. I don't under stand why but from what I've read this is an old problem with Kimbers. You'd think they'd correct it. I wish I'd put out a few more bucks and bought a Colt. I'll never really adore the Kimber after this experience, it is a good shooter now tho. On a new gun I field strip it and clean it and then I expect it to work, if it doesn't it should go back to the factory for repair. I didn't want the hassle of sending it back. Kimber sent me a modified slide stop but it didn't work.
