terrible day at the range

[bayboydray408]

On Saturday, you mentioned the price of ammo for the 500S&W. Cabelas has it for $1.50 a round. I am not familiar with the manufacturer of the ammo, but it has good reviews and Cabelas is great.

My weekends are booked for at least the next month or so, otherwise I might have been able to pick up some 45acp and meet you out there.

ya that ammo is priced very good! but do you remember WELLFEDIRISHMAN at the range that day with the bfr 500? I shot his reloads and they were great! I might see if he will just sell me reloads, I havent found him on here yet though.im not payin 70 bucks for 20 rounds of hornady anymore

Ive had the same exact problems with 2 1911 pistols. My Springfield Milspec and my Kimber Custom 2. It would fire a round but would not return to battery. I was patient, lubed it well, made sure all the surfaces were smooth/straight, took it home and racked the slide a few times a day and I would trust them both now. Its frustrating to buy something like that and not have it work right away, but the same thing happens when you buy a BMW and are told you should keep it under 5000 rpm for 3000 miles. I just chalked it up to each gun being unique and I couldnt be happier. All of my problems were gone after about 150 rounds. I just shot them both today and wahhoooo!!! I think the main problem was the ammo. I was trying to shoot crap ammo out of it right away. After a couple boxes of higher quality stuff, it will shoot all the junk now.

terrible day at the range

A rough trigger smoothing out is one thing. A weapon that won't function reliably is another.

I can see the occasional stoppage with a brand new pistol (well, not really, but..), but the idea that the sliding parts need to wear in... sorry. Constant malfs is an indication of something wrong. Enough people have chimed in that their weapons functioned reliably out of the box, so it IS possible.

As for buying a bunch of new magazines... That's bullcrap. The mags that come with a weapon should function reliably in that weapon, regardless the cost.

Bayboy, I'll give ya $200 & 500 rds of .45ACP WWB for the Kimber.

So you think it's crap that sliding parts wear in? How do you sharpen a knife? Grind metal? File your nails?

oi, even when i was breaking in my hi-point c9 it didn't jam that much!

I think i saw you there,the 1st 2 25 yrd lanes. I was with my 10/22 on the 50 yrd. I should have waited to see the 500, next time I'll bring my alaskan 454.I wasnt sure about shooting it there but if the 500 is good than mines no problem.

If you were there when I was then you saw the ferrari in the handicap space?

oh and a broken kimber being thrown around

Hope you get it figured out, seems like it needs to be repaired. For those of you who still subscribe to a "break-in period" check this out. http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm I use this method on all my vehicles and have never had a problem.

[sabrerider]

no, didnt see that ! course when im at any range im in gun mode and have blinders on for anything else.

If I built a crap pistol and told most of you guys that it took 5,000 rounds to wear in.. I probly would never have to worry about a thing.. most of you never shot that many through a gun and even the best would have a hard time clearing 5,000 malfunctions.

I would be rich and retired before anyone figured out the guns were crap.

sounds like a sound business plan. i think you should do it. BTW some people here think we are related.

This is an easy problem to fix...









Sell it and buy a glock, problem solved

If the wear in is necessary for the gun to function properly, then it should be done at the factory. In the age of computer controlled machine tools there is no excuse for failure to whatever. It is either bad design or bad craftsmanship, a little of both in this case if you ask me...

[citystar]

This is why I stick to those plastic guns.. Just grip it and rip it..

Speaking of bad ammo, how about this - I took my brand new Glock to the range and fired 50 rounds. It took me over an hour! The thing would jam every other round and the gun felt terribly inconsistent. I was almost certain I got a piece of junk... Then the guy next to me noticed I was shooting reloads (free from the place where I bought the gun). He gave me some of his factory rounds, and it was good. It has been shooting beautifully ever since... CHECK YOUR AMMO.
