To the original poster............I like my guns "slicked" up, so no I do not shoot them as they come in the box.
If someone wants to shoot "out of the box" guns, go right ahead, be my guest. Please do not begrudge me for shooting my guns with action jobs, short stroke kits and
honed cylinders.
As with any piece of equipment I have bought and paid for, I prefer that it operate at it's optimal best. Really doesn't matter if it's a lawnmower, SUV, pair of pliers or a
gun............just make it easier to operate and I'm happy.
