I'm finally going to the range tonight with my USP 40 and I'm interested in your opinions on "breaking in" the barrel.
I read an article in Handgunner or some other mag about shooting 1 round, cleaning the bore, repeat about 5 times, then shoot 3 rounds, and clean the bore and repeat, move up to about 5 rounds... well, you get the idea.
Is this really necessary? The article was about Thompson Contenders and "high performance barrels" or something like that, but I'm wondering how much concern I should have on my HK USP. I call it a "high performance" gun, or at least "high quality"!! I'd like to get the most out of it, but I don't really wan't to stand there on the range and look like a fool (while I pay for shooting time) !!
What do you think??
