No such thing.

Do like BigMetal says and just go shoot it.

Sort of, not like an AR or anything. The only things that will get "broken in" that you will notice will be the captive spring and the slide release spring.

Yes, follow these 3 simple rules:

1. Shoot it
2. Shoot it
3. Shoot it

If you follow these 3 rules, you will enjoy it.
