[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 2658011, member: 385"] I see new guns in my classes that do not run; rare but it happens. Memorable is a Glock 21 that had a defective striker pin tip that half sheered off with less than 20 rounds through it. It fired about half the time after that. A new striker put it back into 100% service. A few years back I acquired a S&W revolver built in the 1970's that looked new. It had been fired a tiny bit. After I took ownership I found out why. It had some factory assembly tolerance issues preventing it from being anything near dependable. Likely the previous owner tossed it back into his safe corner with intentions to send it back to the factory but never did. Yes, the problems were correctable and it now runs perfectly as it should. My personal rule is that a gun I will carry MUST have fired 250 rounds, of which the last 200 have been 100% trouble-free. After that 250 rounds run-in period, a quality handgun has MANY 100's of rounds, usually many 1000's, of 100% dependability before use-based repairs intervene. [/QUOTE]
