Who else would sell a product that is not ready for use?
Is this thread gonna run NINE pages like the last time this exact topic came up?
Poor analogy. Both those losses were due to poor program management, not poor workmanship, poor design, material failure or "acts of God". They could have been avoided, is it the first case, they stayed within the established design constraints, in the second if they stuck to the generally accepted safety protocols of the aviation industry in general.Sadly this is often the case with many gun owners including those that post on this forum.
Man made things malfunction all the time. NASA lost not one but two multi-billion Space Shuttles.
My response to the O.P. is why don't you want to practice shooting several hundred rounds through a new gun?

Seems to me they are just saying dont take it apart till after so many rounds. Not that it going to be a jamomatic.Really surprised me Wilson admits their stuff is supposed to jam...

In defense of Wilson Combat 1911s, they aren't made for ultimate reliability and shooting in horrible conditions. WC guns are precision made with VERY tight fitting tolerances. This precision assures accuracy. Nobody is going to buy a WC 1911 and actually take it into combat, guns that are made for that are FAR less expensive and readily available.
All in all, if someone buys a WC 1911, there's a 99.99% chance it's going to be a safe queen.

There is a 99.99% probability that you don't have a clue what you're talking about. Tell me what percentage of soldiers get to choose their weapon of choice?
Please tell me which armed forces in the world issues their soldiers Wilson Combat 1911s.

Never in 30 years of shooting though have I had a gun that actually improved with break in.
Well, that's different. The 500-round testing period for carry pistols is a common procedure. It is suggested, for example, by Grant Cunningham in his book "Defensive Pistol Fundamentals". But Cunningham is not recommending it for a break-in -- only for testing. For that reason used guns are subject to the 500-round test too. Also, no cleaning through the string.I usually break mine in at the 500 round count. They should also be good for CCW if there were no malfunctions.
