All went well!
Put 112 rounds down the pipe with few issues: I shot 100 Freedom Munitions 230 grain reloads and 12 hollow points - some Golden Saber and a few Federal HST. The HPs were at the end of the session and I was starting to have issues by then, most likely due to the gun being dirty in the middle of the factory recommended break-in period.
There were a couple failures to return to battery (the slide "hung" about a sixteenth of an inch out of battery) over the course of the session. A tap was all it took to get it where it needed to be. There were five failures to feed (nosedives), three of which were HST hollow points at the end of the shooting session. Not sure if my PM45 doesn't like Federal HST, or if it just needed to be cleaned by that point. I'm going to finish up the "break in" next Saturday, and I'll bring my HSTs again to find out.
In general it shot extremely well. I was consistently on target at 7 yards, nearly always inside the 9-ring. Recoil wasn't much different than with my CM9 (about 60 problem-free rounds went through it) BTW, such that follow-up shots were accurate and quick. Some have complained about the stippling, but I found it to be the right balance between comfortable and "grippy."
I can't think of anything else to say other than I love this gun!
