2nd Range trip with my new CM9 (& question)

[IP32sailor]

Beautiful weather here in VA lured me to the range to continue the breakin on my new CM9. I had fired 150 Blazer Brass 115gr the first trip and had a couple FTF. Did a thorough cleaning/lube and polished the feed ramp before this trip.

I took a selection of ammo this time. Blazers, Ranger 124gr FMJ NATO, Fiocchi 124Gr JHP, Fed Hi-Shok 115Gr JHP and Golden Saber 124gr. Everything was running beautifully through it until an FTF around rd #180; happened to be a Blazer. Shot about 30 more rounds without incident. The feed ramp was getting rather dirty near the end so that may have been a factor.

This little gun continues to impress and its just a pleasure to shoot.

Question - At what point do you consider the gun "ready to carry"? Should I be concerned about that one FTF at this point?

PS: my first post on the New Members section did not earn me the coveted CM9 membership badge. Hope I said nothing to offend!:)

I assume you're not planning on using Blazer for self-defense. So, I'd say you're good to go!

I'd say it's broken in and you need not worry.

I'd pick the SD load you want to use, put a box or two through the pistol to check function and start carrying.

ftf could also be shooter error to. so just shoot it like u stile it. the gun is good to go.. if it was a gu issue, it would duplicate itself more than just one time in 180 rounds.

You sound good to go. I never carry FMJ's, so if your CM9 is shooting the JHP's flawlessly, you're ready! Enjoy, the CM9 is a great partner! :D
