Stiff Opening....

[azrida21]

I just received my Native III in the mail today. I notice on opening it's pretty dang stiff! Is that normal in the Natives? Or does it just need to broken in a lil'?

Quite possible. In my experience, the Native III tends to be stiffer than most other unlined FRN models. Depends on what you're comparing it to as well. Any front lock, even the C41 Native which tends to be at the opposite end of the spectrum from the Native III, will feel stiff relative to liner locks, framelocks, compression locks, and ball locks.

Carry it, break it in and it should get better.
