I have some synthetic grease at home and used it in the rails and on top of the barrel. Lucas extreme oil on the other parts. The range that I bought this from is super close to where I work, so I went a couple of hours ago to start the break in process. The little STI shot just fine, ran about 40 rounds of Federal FMJ ammunition through her. The next lane over had some guy showing his friends how to shoot with his Glock 19. Being the nice guy that I am, I let two of the new shooters (both were women) try it out. For some reason they preferred my STI to the Glock. Too bad STI doesn't make this anymore, I could have sold two of these today.
Trying a different grease this time. I'm shooting it again tomorrow, want to get through the 500 round break-in by this weekend, because I'm impatient. Now I have two officer sized 1911s, so I can dual wield them.
He said he had to put it down a few times because it was just too hot...and about wrecked his fingers loading magazines.
