Clean it real good and shoot the snot out of it. No "break in" necessary. Run a bunch of different ammo through it. If it is worth keeping it will eat anything.

Make sure to give it a good cleaning to remove the factory grease.. Oil it good and enjoy. yellow box PMC is the only ammo I have ever heard of some guns not liking when new due to it being a weak load but even those would eat it up after 100 rounds or so.

It ain't a 1911.
Clean it, load it up, shoot it until it goes 'click'. Repeat. Change the recoil spring in 4000-5000 rounds, keep it lubed and clean, and it will serve you for a very long time. |

I'd say use some stronger/higher pressure loaded ammo for break in.
When my 92A1 was new I had one FTE and a lots of shoddy ejection with cheap TulaAmmo. After that when I tested some 124gr HST (not +P, mind you) I noticed that the casings were all ejected in a much more positive manner. Gotta keep in mind, standard European 9mm in a bit hotter than standard USA 9mm and the European guns are built accordingly. |

Also be sure to clean out the magazines. My 92A1's magazines were chock full of the preservative.

I ensure the gun is not gunked up and is lubed well then fire 300-400 through it before cleaning. Just my deal.

Well I was finally able to get to the range today, and was able to fire about 100 rounds before I had to leave. Seller & Bellot, American Eagle and Winchester (all 124 grain) shot flawlessly for me, but my wife had 3 failures to seat properly, about 1/3 of her total shots, before she gave it back to me and went back to her XD. I loved it and am looking forward to firing off a bunch more rounds, but I don't think we'll be using it for our go-to home defense weapon until my wife gets a better handle on it.
