Yes, I'm sure this is a beat to death horse, but I couldn't find an answer to this: is there a different break in procedure for a stainless match barreled 1911  other than "shooting the shit out of it"?

That was my plan, just shooting. Then I saw "don't clean it before shooting" (I've already detail stripped it twice, greased the rails and trigger/sear/hammer interfaces and lubed the shit out of the rest. Then I thought of the barrel too.

It's a SA Range Officer. My first 1911 so anything else is appreciated.

Grease the rails and shoot it.

This. Mine didn't require much break in. I tightened the extractor up a bit and hit the inside of the slide stop a few times on a stone. Its been flawless ever since I first shot it, just a little fine tuning to make it even better.

Load mags, fire, repeat.

If it's tight a good session will work out any issues or present them.

Address accordingly from there.

Just shoot it a bunch.  My Baer said to not try to take it down for 300 rounds.  I'm going to put a whole lot more through it than that before taking it down.

It either works or it doesn't.

Lube it and shoot it.  If it doesn't shoot, find out why and fix it.  It's not gonna heal....
