Obviously, it seems to depend on the particular gun you get as to whether it needs any work to run reliably or not. I put a bit of oil on mine, racked the slide a few times and went out and started blasting away. I've ran 300 rounds of low brass through it and haven't had any problems at all. In fact, I haven't ran any buckshot or slugs yet although I plan to soon. I figure if it'll handle the low power loads, the high will be a non-issue.
