I have usually tried to encourage shooters
to run at least 500 rounds through a new gun before doing anything to it. The Marlin Trapper .45 Colt Shootists Anniversary gun we got has about 400 rounds through it and all I have done to it is adjust the rear sight a bit. It's not totally where it should be but once we put a few more hundred through it we will work on the trigger a bit and sight it in properly with whatever load we settle on.
I have about 400 rounds through the Cimarron .45 and have decided not to touch the sights. I may take a little off the front sight some day. Probably not though. It is close to POA at 20 yards with the Colt loads and that's OK by me.
