Just installed a new barrel in my S&W 41 target pistol. Is there any special way to break it in? Also the chamber seems a little tight compared to my old one. This is causing some misfires (bolt is a little slow getting into battery and also fails to extract once in a while. has anyone ever polished a 22 chamber?

I have polished out the chambers on a few 22 pistols, but break in is generally go to the range and shoot it. If it still needs work, call up S&W and talk to them, they good about situations with their products.
