Does anyone know what Sig suggests for a break in period, or procedure (if any)? Or does anyone here typically follow any process for breaking one in? And aside from shooting a particular number of bullets is there any number of times the gun should be cleaned? Thanks!
After an initial cleaning and lube... I personally like to run around 400 rounds of FMJ ammo through my weapons and at least 20+ rounds of intended carry ammo through it before I start carrying assuming no problems. There are some good videos available on SIG's web site along with several FAQs to help you with your new weapon.
ALWAYS carry! - NEVER tell!

Sig Sauer? They don't need a stinkin' break-in.
Just kidding. I think any gun that is carried as a CCW needs to be test-fired adequately. Along with everything else it builds up confidence for the owner.

My P239 9mm DA/SA worked smoothly from the day I got it, but I agree with the others that you should shoot it with the cleaning regiment and the ammunition you plan to carry for a period of time to establish there are no problems.
Several hundred rounds sound like a reasonable minimum to me.

The only break in they need is a proper post on the boards with a picture!!!
You should be good to go after a quick clean/lube.

I agree a break in period is always a good thing if you have time and ammo. That being said I have carried my p228 and Glock 23 with nary a hitch after only 50-100 rounds. Just new gun shootin. not testing and evaluating.

I agree. Treat it with the Militec-1 that comes with the pistol before you shoot it and it'll be as slippery as butter if you do it right the first time. After that cleanups are a breeze. Congrats on one of the best brands of weapons out there.Sig Sauer? They don't need a stinkin' break-in.

Never had to break in any of my SIG's... they shoot every time I pull the trigger.
I clean every gun I shoot after every trip to the range... only the ones I shoot, but every time... I did shoot my Glock 19 twice once without cleaning in between... ONCE!!!

Just for kicks n' grins, I spent six months of shooting 100 or more rounds twice a month without cleaning my Glock 17. Dang thing worked every dang time I pulled the dang trigger.
I gave up on trying to make it fail and clean and lube it after each session now...

Well I like to feel the recoil with any self defense ammo I am considering. Then I kinda give it a pat and a hug it so it feels welcome, stick it in a VMII and take it out when needed.
Three Sigs over 16,000 rounds and NEVER a failure except 2 poof reloads, my bad.
1911s seem to need break in periods, so I would consider a break in for a Sig 1911.

Thanks for the help! I'll try to post pics when I actually get the chance to take some.

No break in needed, just find the ammo that it
shoots the best,
BTW all my 15 or so Sig's digest any thing I feed them, hungry
little buggers.
