This will be my first pistol, and I was woundering how to break it in. What type of ammo do you reccomend? Has to be factory loads. Do I want surplus? What type of shooting, formal or informal? Distance? How many rounds do you reccomend? |

Agreed with all posters. After a decent initial cleaning (read up on what not to do, like oil the firing pin channel), keep shooting it, and keep cleaning it. Cheap ammo is just fine. Start with 5 yards, slow fire, and work up the speed. If you can put a full magazine rapidly into a 12" diameter at 10 or 15 yards, you'll be a better shot than most. Take a course early on to correct any bad habits before they set in permanently. I wish I had. |
