Glad to hear it all went well, Panther! What load were you using? I also had a few "hesitations" when my gun was new, after around 600 rounds thru it it cycles like warm butter. I'm still impressed at how smooth and relatively light the DA trigger is, the SA is kind of creepy but predictable, and I'm still getting used to it. I didn't carry mine until I had over 300 rounds through it, the only glitches I had were with hot 230-grain loads, which occasionally bounced the gun upwards hard enough to put the slide lock on. Using lighter bullets has solved the problem, even with the hottest loads.
Most of my practice loads use a max charge of WST under a 200-SWC, and the accuracy still surprises me if I don't yank the trigger. One magazine full put all eight shots in a single ragged hole about the size of a half-dollar, proof that the gun is a lot more accurate than most of us holding it. I don't worry about warm loads, the gun is very well-designed and plenty strong, the limiting factor is me, and how fast I can recover from the recoil. After shooting mostly warm 38's for five years, it's a bit more abrupt than I'm used to!
