A group of us are going to the police academy in two weeks and just received our brand new pistols.
I was wondering if there is a break in process for the barrel that is important. I searched this website and didn't find anything and searched the web and heard two answers. 1.) Fire shots, and clean after each shot, etc. 2.) No break in necessary.
1.) What do you guys think about pistol barrel break in?
2.) Also, what are good cleaning brands for the bore and for the pistol itself.
This is something I've heard:
Stainless Chrome moly Barrels
- Fire one shot, then clean your barrel. (Repeat this step 5 to 25 times.)
- Fire three shots, then clean your barrel. (Repeat this step 1 or 2 times.)
- Fire five shots, then clean your barrel and you're done.
Stainless Steel Barrels
- Fire one shot, then clean your barrel. (Repeat this step 5 times.)
- Fire three shots, then clean your barrel.
- Fire five shots, then clean your barrel and you're done.
