well, i don't know about you, but i depend on my guns to save my life. i would no sooner carry any gun without putting several hundred rounds through it that i would jump into a brand new Ferrari and go racing. both you and the machine need time to settle into each other. Mr. Seecamp i am sure builds a fine pistol. i do not own one, but none the less. but, it is still a mechanical device. and any mechanical device can be made impropperly.i do not care whether it is a Seecamp, a Ferrari, or a Holland and Holland double. people that build them make mistakes. not very often, but it happens. my life probably is not worth much (financially) but to my kids, it IS the whole world. so, i will be "breaking in" anything before i trust my life on it!
