Hey guys,I just bought a cw45 , so far put about 250 rounds through it with multiple ftf. How do I find the sticky telling you how to oil, prep, etc....? I'm not really good with navigating this forum! The ftf after the break In period make me nervous to carry and depend on this gun even though it feels great.

Hang in there. The CW45 is really nice and mine has smoothed out well. Clean it, lube it up good, and if you have problems just let us know. Run it WELL lubed up in the beginning.

Factory ammo or reloads?

Grip is important too. Hold on. Let us know how you are doing.

Yes, the break in period is very important for the CW45.
I put 500 rounds, 230gr. FMJ, through mine before I even thought about carrying it.
Clean and lube it well, grip it hard and shoot away.
Any "issues" I had disappeared around 400 round and have NOT shown up again.
The CW45 likes hot, full powered ammo. Don't try to use low power, lo recoil ammo in it. It doesn't like it.
As I said, once I got over 500 rounds, I haven't had a problem of any type since and I carry mine all the time.

BTW, the CW45, at least mine, does NOT like Hornady ammo!
