Your break in rituals

[jay_cue]

well get to pick up my Sig 2022 in .40 from jail this Sunday and got to thinking what are some of your rituals of breaking in your gun. anything from what ammo do you use or initially cleaning/oiling you do of your new purchase.

Then shoot some more.

take it to the range, throw it in mud, shoot 1000 rounds, put it in safe.

Take it home.
clean it
lube it
go to range
shoot it using premium ammo for 100 rds
use bulk after that
take it home
clean it

Bring new gun home, field strip it clean it, add gun oil wear needed. Grab 2 to 5 hundred rounds of my reloads. Go to range, shoot the crap out of it. Take it home clean and oil it. Can't wait to do it again.

Use factory rounds the first 500 shots. Clean it lube it, play with it (unloaded of course) put it away.

200 rounds, clean, inspect for wear / impact marks, 200 more rounds, clean / inspect. If all looks good and there are no failures consider it broken in. if there are failures use logic to determine cause and fire 200 rounds to see if reliable, if not keep going until reliable or get rid of it.

Just take it out and shoot it!

[evidens83]

Take it home. Lightly lubricate. Take a dozen or so pictures to show off. Shoot. Take home. Break down and clean. Post range pics.

I ask because I came across this and thought maybe it was a little excessive. not sure how beneficial it would be for the time consumption.

Definitely sounds excessive for a SP2022.

I cleaned and lubed it, put a couple hundred factory rounds through it, cleaned and lubed it again, and the rest have been reloads.

I clean and lube after every trip to the range.

You need inspect your guns while cleaning, check the breech face etc and look for impact marks, strikes, strange wear or cracks.
