Break in was probably the wrong wording. Point is on the first day to shoot gun I experienced the noted problem. I sent the gun back with a very detailed explanation of the problem. They sent it back with the note,
Evaluate/repair
Repair slide
Passed range testing
Nothing more. I didn't have time yesterday to shoot it more than a few rounds. Will do more soon.
I plan to call S&W on Monday to see if I can get some kind of report on what was problem and how it was fixed. Not much more I can do.

Did you ever let someone else shoot the gun when it was malfunctioning? That's the only way to rule out user error.

But still good to hear your gun is running now. I'd get a few different boxes of brass-cased ammo from the common manufacturers (Federal, Winchester, Remington, etc.) and see how it functions. Report back after you do.

Unclejhim,
Have you had a chance to shoot your gun since it's been repaired?
I've never sent a gun back to the factory, but a number of my friends have. When it was returned, there was usually a cryptic and very brief note from the gunsmith re: the repairs or NO note at all. Your note was actually more descriptive than most.
