I was recently watching a few videos on YouTube and came across a Yeager vid about his new interest in 1911s. Personally, I'm not a fun of them, but I figured, there's no harm in watching. One of the first things I heard him speak of was a "break-in period". Being the self proclaimed, internet gun expert I am, of course I've heard of this. And mostly, it comes up about 1911s or precision rifles. Now I already admitted that I'm ignorant to the 1911, but rifles, I know! I've been shooting for a nice minute and I've never "had" to break in a firearm. I know how a little wear will smooth some fit & finish issues out, but how necessary is it? I'm asking a legitimate question. I don't know the answer. I shoot a good bit and I feel that the idea is not at all needed. Most of the time, if I'm not shooting as well as i am capable, it's me. It can take a little time to get more familiar with a different bore axis, grip angle, texture, or site arrangement. I really want to know what you think. Is the breaking-in period, needed, unnecessary, or does it serve as a familiarization period. Let me know.

AuthorKeep in mind that I am by no means a gun expert. I have had some safety, handling, and shooting training, but nowhere near the amount I feel is needed to claim the "expert" title. With that being said, I am a man that owns a LOT of firearms, knives, and gear! I have been shooting since I could hold a rifle and have even competed in and won a few competitions. The advice and tips that I give are based on personal experience, but are by no means to be taken as law. Please consult a trained, certified professional for all your firearms needs. Enjoy! Archives
