Up to about the 125 round mark. No issues so far except for one. I had a bad round (primer was completely missing) and when it was ejected the next round didn’t go all the way into battery. Not sure if it was a fluke or what. Could have been because it was “slingshotted” instead of the normal way to chamber a round. No issues after that. (I think I'm gonna keep the round and put it in a random mag for training purposes though). There is a little dinging and scoring on the inside of the slide on the half-moon cutout portion where the slide stop pin goes. There are some corresponding marks on the keyed portion that sticks up on the slide stop pin so I’m assuming its normal wear and it will “lap” into a happy smooth place eventually. I’m gonna try to push another 75 rds of hardball and a couple mags of gdhp’s through it this week because I’d like to take it on vacation with me next week. I have a feeling this gun and I are going to be attached at the hip (or at least on the hip) in the near future.

Here’s a follow up question to CW45 owners....
This is not a big deal and I'm perfectly willing to attribute it to my extreme anal streak but after cleaning from the second range trip I've noticed several little things, A ding on the corner of the barrel hood where it meets the extractor, a ding or scratch here or there. It could be because this is a stainless slide and all my other guns are blackened and they are just more noticeable. Like I said earlier so far it runs great so I'm not complaining about anything I was just curious if this was normal wear in?

I think mine might have a ding here or there where pieces meet but nothing that looks out of place or like a problem. Just wear marks. but I don't give it much thought either

How many rounds do you shoot per visit?

50-100 rounds per session, I noticed the recoil spring loosed up a bit after this last session. I'm sure it's all fine I just notice every little thing on a weapon may life may depend on. I guess the proof is in the puddin and so far she runs like a scalded dog.
