| How many rounds do you have to shoot before a Kimber is deemed "broken in" and ready for carry use? |

Mine was 100% reliable out of the box. At about 350 rds I could feel it getting smoother and the trigger was very good. At that point I considered it to be "broken in". Each person has their own idea of how many rounds it takes to be reliably broken in. General opinion is 300 to 500 rds fired with out a failure. YMMV Diamondback A 45 may not expand but it will never be smaller than .45!!  NRA Member |
Run the break-in rounds through it ... 4-500. At that point, its your decision, "do you trust it with your life"? I made sure mine shot atleast 350 rounds of my carry ammo without a hiccup before I could trust it to save my life if need be. I had a few FTF's during break-in but after about 300 rds and then the 350 rds of JHP's, no problems whatsoever. Mine is 100% reliable. |
