People talk a lot about a gun needing to be broken in. Most set the bar at around 500 rounds. I think this is probably an arbitrary number and that it depends more on the individual gun, but what do yall think? What is the approriate number of rounds before you consider a gun broken in, or do they even need to be broken in at all?
I have put 400 rounds through my PT1911 so far and have not had any problems, but it took about 300 rounds before my CZ-75 started to come into its own.
What about ammo for breaking in? When I start the process of "breaking in" I like to give the gun a variety of makers. The above mentioned 400 rounds have been a mix of WWB, Monarch, R-P, and Blazer. It has handled all pretty well.
