    Kimber Break-in Period

    I Unfortunately, Wolf .45 is all I could find in town. Nothing at Dicks, nothing at Wal-Mart, nothing at any of the other gun stores. Just Wolf. I still have some American Eagle brass .45 that I'm saving for a special occasion, maybe this is the time to test it out. I'll try to swap in...
