I've broken in my CM9 and don't shoot it much now, just carry it. But I like to keep it oiled up and ready. If I do that once a month (which the manual says to do if I remember right) I'd be re-racking that top bullet 12 times which seems excessive. I think I'm going to go with a no more than a handful of times rule, say 2-3 and then set it aside for that occasional range time, or deadeyes method of dropping it to the bottom of the mag and then when all six are have been racked a few times freshen it up. Thanks for the responses.
