      When I bought my 17 and 21, I just ran a cleaning patch down the barrel to get the excessive oil/residue out. Firing couple hundred rounds for a function test would be nice. Supposedly the trigger will smoothen out after "X" amount of rounds.

        Glocks don't really need to be "broken in" but I do tend to make sure that my first 100 rounds are not fired in rapid procession to keep the barrel from heating up. I'm still a believer that heating up a barrel expands the metal somewhat and can have a deleterious effect on a barrel's accuracy over time.

          I'm pretty sure Glock barrels are treated, and heating them up won't change their characteristics.
