Astonishing!
"Your gun works...congratulations".
These aren't supposed to be fishing reels! If there is a significant failure to work close to flawlessly out of the box, then quality control needs to be better, the gun needs to be better made, and the price will rightfully rise. Is your gun worth $50 more to fire properly when needed, or do you need to spend $100 on ammo to post "it works now!"?
50 rounds fired today with new slide....6 FTF where I needed to bang the slide forward. So I'll pay a good gunsmith, who makes guns and has worked on a number of these, $75 to get it working flawlessly.

Sig 229 Equinox: High FTF rate...they told me I should have sent it back immediately as they looked at it and replaced it. I listened to people online who said "break it in" like I'm reading here. Sig didn't want the liability of my using a defective weapon and in two days I had a new one. The range I go to sells a good number of guns. It is very rare than a problem occurs but they get a lot with Kel-Tek's and they tell people who buy them that it's hit-or-miss. I have the money to make this work right and I didn't find another pocket gun that worked as well in and out of my back pocket in a pocket holster. But this shouldn't have to be the rule instead of the exception.
If you are carrying ONLY this gun for self-defense I put forth that you are dropping out of a plane with a parachute packed by the one-armed guy.
You must be new to gun fourms.
So let me explain. Many, if not most people who go to gun fourms, are there looking for solutions to their gun problems.
Therefore the Kel Tec fourm is full a people trying to get advice on their problem Kel Tec guns.
I glad that your Sigs, HKs, and Glock worked out of the box. But not all of them do.
Don't take my word for it, go look for yourself on the Sig, HK, Glock fourms.
There you will find lots of gun enthusiast trying to find solutions to their problem (not working out of the box) Sigs, HKs, Glocks, Para........
In fact it was my problem $1200 Bushmaster AR-15 that introduced me to the "world" of gun fourms.
I got lots of helpful advice, and that gun has be trouble free for over 4 years.
I have even used information from this Kel Tec fourm, (fluff and buff) to "fix" my Springfield 1911 A1.
Its now 100% reliable, just like my Kel Tecs.
