About how many rounds on average do you fire from one handgun, (be it pistol or revolver) per year?

[Barr]

200 at the lowest and over 800 at the highest.

[BobCav]

I just got mine, so can't say for the year, but I put 100 rounds through while trying it out before the purchase, am putting about 200 today and will likely put btwn 100-200 a month after this.

[Bobo]

1 go to the range about 20 to 25 times a year. Each time I shoot 50 -75 rounds through my gun. So...

1000 minimum - 1875 maximum -- 1438 average
Rounded off - 1400 to 1500 a year.

[Don Lu]

go to range once per week, 1 box of WWB 100 pack per visit = 5200 rnds per yr for my GLOCK.
the .357 gets about 1/3 of the work.

Ive only got 2 guns now, but when I get some more, im sure ill spread the work load around some.

[Chuck R.]

It really depends on the gun. Last year I put a little over 9K through my 5" Baer, 3K through my Baer Stinger, and a little over 2K through my Python.

I've got other handguns that ranged from 0-500.

[Ben Shepherd]

My little sp101 averages about 10,000 per year. Some others only see 1-2000.

Before anyone flips out: No I'm not kidding on the sp101. 10,000/52 weeks=192.3 rounds per week. Some weeks I'm zero. Some weekend trips I'll do 500 or more.

Reloading is a wonderful money saver!

Anyone here who is dedicated enough to shoot a match every month, and practice a couple times every month will post numbers that will make you just:what: !

[Nil]

I've had my XD9 for about a month now and I have a little over 1500 rounds through it. I imagine it'll taper down a bit as I get over the initial "honeymoon" with it, but goddamn, shooting it is fun.

[10-Ring]

I'll shoot about 500 per month on average, about 6000 rounds per year....I use to shoot more but that seems like a good number to keep in decent practice. Anyway, per handgun I would think a few hundred each per handgun - my USPs & my 1911s see the majority of those rounds tho

[Jeff F]

Well if my reloading logs are right, .38 and .357 mag were almost 10000. .45 acp was 7000. .44 mag right at 2500. .308 win 6000. .22 long rifle, a truck load. 12 GA slugs,buck and shot shells all commercial another truck load.That was mostly me but my wife and brother helped some.

[rbernie]

My range pistols average around 3600 rounds/year. Not every pistol that I own is a range pistol; I usually have a 'range only' pistol of the same type as I carry. My carry pistols see far less use; maybe 600 rounds per year.

[Radagast]

Minimum is around 500 from my revolver, max is around 5000 from my competition gun, currently a Beretta 92fs.

[g5reality]

I'd guess at least 5,000+ every year per gun or a total of 30,000+ rounds per year.

Hand guns get 100 each per week at the indoor range and saturdays the rifles each get 100.

[f4t9r]

1200 - 1500 on average

[1911 guy]

I shoot about 3,000-5,000 through my carry gun every year. "Fun" guns get about half that, except the AR, which sems to eat ammo a lot faster than I ever expect it to. Must be the whole 30rd mag and semi-auto thing going on there.

[usp9]

From a few hundred to 1500 per gun gun. 7257 rounds total. My CCW get 400-500 a year except for my Seecamp which just gets a few dozen mags per year (to cycle through them). Fun range guns get the most use.

[jad0110]

The two I shoot most often are:

- my CCW S&W 642 at about 1000 rounds per year
- my S&W K-22 at about 8000 rounds per year

My other 3 guns see about 3000 rounds a year divided between them, from most to least: S&W 686, Springer XD9, S&W Model 14.

Of course when I start handloading I don't expect to save any money, I just expect to see the round count for everything but the K-22 more than double :D .

[22-rimfire]

I usually take several handguns to shoot with on any given day. A typical day of late consists of shooting about 50 rounds of 38spl, 30-50 rounds of 357 mag or 30-50 rounds of 41 mag, and 50 rounds of 40 S&W. On rare occasions, I'll shoot 100 rounds of a particular caliber and that is when I'm shooting with someone. The 22's get shot more, but that is typical.

I shoot more rounds in pistols than revolvers. Compared to most of you, I don't shoot much; but I hit just fine. I do very little tactical shooting. I rarely shoot for more than an hour unless I'm plinking in the woods. I don't keep track on a yearly basis.

[SIRVEYR666]

500-1000 per month with my competion gun and 100-150 per month with my carry gun.

Thank god for reloading!:D

[HiWayMan]

About 4000 a year from my ccw piece and about 1000 each per year for various other handguns.

+1 on reloading

[CWL]

Just finished a training shoot where I shot 2800+ rounds in 4 days. :)

This was with a Wilson Combat .45ACP and it's my "go to" handgun. It sees a lot of use in practice.

I have other pistols that I haven't fired in 5+ years.

[ZeSpectre]

That's a tough one. My primary SD gun probably would get about 800/year (when I've actually had it for a year :D ).

The cowboy action guns get some fairly hefty use at about 300-500 in competition and probably another 500 or so in practice and plinkin'.

The rest varies widely but I'm looking forward to putting a LOT of rounds through my CZ-52!

[Pensfan]

Depends on the firearms...

CZ SP-01: Competitive shooter: has around 2K rounds since 12/24/06
CZ 75B: Wife's Competitive shooter: has around 1K rounds since 1/4/07
CZ 40B: Carry Pistol, approx 200rnds per month
Ruger SP101: Carry Pistol, approx 200rnds per month
Walther P22: Daughter's plinker, approx 400rnds per month

Then a few others that just sit in the safe getting a 100rnds ever month or two for fun.

;)

[JoeHatley]

15k per year, but that is spread out between a couple dozen handguns.

Joe

[kymarkh]

Usually go to the range every other week and shoot 200 rounds each time.
