how many shots to break in barrel
![1911](https://forums.gunbroker.com/applications/dashboard/design/images/defaulticon.png)
I was reading cowdocs posting on breaking in his rifle barrel and i was wondering if this is the same procedure for hand guns, is there a break in procedure for handgun barrels?

Just heard that Capt. Kirk was admitted to a hospital for chest pain, so we're free for a while.
Hope he's doing o.k., haven't heard any more. He's nearby, I'll try to check on him.
All the same, aren't they?
If I need another shot at a charging bear, should I swab the bore first because I should do so on the 3rd shot?
Nothing wrong with extensive break-ins,- helps ammo dealers, gives you practice, but I don't think it's neccessary unless you're getting large groups and think you can help them shrink.
Sure won't hurt.
Just don't forget the chicken!!
