Re: 500 round break in period - fact or fiction? I say humbug!
I run about 200-300 rounds through any pistol I plan on carrying for self defense, no failures. My1911needed the rails and slide polished, a ramp and throat polish, new recoil spring and rear sight fixed, runs good enough to trust my life on it now. It was a second hand gun too I would say you need those initial rounds to see if you trust the gun.
Just my opinion

Re: 500 round break in period - fact or fiction? I say humbug!
I only every "had" to break in one pistol at the recommendation of the manufacturer. That was a Les Baer Custom 1911. He "required" running 500 rounds of Federal American Eagle 230 grain ball through the pistol before I could call and complain about any malfunctions. Had a fun day at the range with two friends shooting 500 rounds as prescribed seven rounds at a time. I might add that I didn't experience any malfunctions. Thousands of rounds later, and I still haven't had any issues. If you buy a carry piece and don't run the shit out of it (500 rounds) you are crazy. Any defects should show in 500. It helps loosen up the magazine springs, recoil spring etc....

Everything requires some form of break in, guns, cars and women. Maybe not 500 rounds or miles, but something.
