Glock Break in Process - SOBTV
About this video
McPhee demonstrates his personal break-in process for evaluating a new firearm, using three magazines across different distances and drill types to assess the gun’s tracking and sight alignment. He uses rapid-fire groups, timed placement drills, and slow deliberate accuracy work to understand how the specific gun performs and where it naturally shoots.
Key takeaways
- McPhee carries a new gun exclusively for about two weeks to learn its characteristics before mixing it with other firearms
- McPhee’s break-in sequence uses three progressive drills: rapid-fire groups at multiple distances (5-25 yards), a 10-yard timed placement drill (3 rounds in 3 seconds), and slow-fire accuracy shooting to verify sight zero and tracking
- McPhee uses rapid consecutive shots to force larger groups that reveal true sight tracking and alignment issues, rather than relying on single slow shots
- McPhee emphasizes shooting deliberate, well-aimed rounds during accuracy validation to determine where the gun’s sights actually print relative to point of aim
