It is a hard life

Quads, mud, and painting are not the friendliest things to firearms. Pretty sure the laytex will peel off :D

Took care of a friends dogs last week.. one took off and wouldn't come back until I fired a shot in the air. You can always count on a trained Lab to respond to a gun shot!

Yeah, the asterisks are awkward... And it has been nearly 100 rounds since that magtech ball ammo. I had customer shooting out of the same batch with his well proven S&W 1911 and he choked on a few.. He was also due for a new recoil spring, as am I.. Maybe the slide return was light enough, and the magtec ammo was just enough outa spec for the two to lightly meet. I know.. I think too much and it does no good :p

50 rounds of Blazer with the Wilson 10s, no problems and much cleaner burning that UMC or Magtech.

Did a 100% detail clean tonight. It is amazing how quickly and deeply crap can get. Actually scrubbed the slide and frame in the sink with soap and a toothbrush. Someone once told me to keep my guns clean.. maybe he was right.. simply amazing.
 
1000 rounds

116 rounds today- had to do the extra 16 :) Damn, she's dirty again... :p

Dumped a 4th of July mag. 7 rounds. The pistol is nearly always with me, nothing really of note other than my cousin knocking it off a workbench onto concrete (left some small impact divits on the rear of the mainspring housing at the bottom of the grip) And his boy spilled milk on it on a camping trip a few weeks ago.

Dang, I haven't been following this but maybe get a new magazine or throw that thing in the river maybe. Oh nevermind.. I see now how you might be doing the math/this thread.
 
Aluminum Frame rail wear at 1000 rounds

Actually it is 1100 rounds and practically no wear to the rails... in fact it has barely had an impact on the nickle finish..

Guess I'll have to do more shootin then... :p

Did a detail clean today to make sure there wasn't any milk still hiding inside.

How often are you suppose to change the recoil spring?

I was surprised to see you changed yours with less than 1,000 rounds.

Added an after market rail called the Tick by TRG which is held by the slide stop. It works pretty well but I did not care for the cast slide stop they sent so I tweaked an extra Colt one i had.

Add one Streamlight TLR2 and we were off

sent 35 rounds downrange playing with the light and laser :)

Will post picks in a few days
