Is there a generally accepted procedure for how to properly break in your new Wheelgun and semi auto pistols properly. Was unable to find with search function so my appologies if it's there and I missed it.

Thanks in advance,

Joel Buchinski
 
you need a lot of ammo, when you have that, you need to shoot until you are satisfied!



A little bit of oil where the metal rub on metal on semi auto can help a little bit.

+1, make sure the gun/s came properly lubed and if not then lube them accordingly. After that you just need a case of ammo, a range and an afternoon :)

So it's not a case of shoot one, snake the barrel et cetera? My new to me .357 has a new barrel and someone had told me to make sure to clean it really well after shooting .38 spc before shooting any .357's would someone enlighten me?

It was probably mentioned just so you don't get the chambers in the cylinder so dirty that it interferes with extraction on the 357 Mag cases.

As for break in, I would just clean it, lube it, and give 'er.
 
Extractor, yoke, firing pin, cylinder (where it contacts yoke).

Any more then that you're over doing it. Pretty much any part you believe will make contact with another metal part.

You DONT want oil in the berrel (first shot it will be gone anwyays but still), or in the cylinders...

(that's how I've done it anyways. Then again I've seen guns drenched in oil shoot ok)

oil is mainly so that metal on metal doesnt occur, and provide that extra glide between 2 parts... so just look at your gun... see how it works, and where it should need oil... one drop is probably more then good enough... then just wipe most of it down before shooting.

If you're shooting and you get a puff of oil... then yeah you over did it. :D
