Is 750 rounds a lot of use for a handgun?

That's a medium amount. I've sold guns with far fewer rounds having been shot. But there's still tons of life left. I wouldn't worry too much about the round count. A better question is how it's been cared for.

750 rounds is just getting started. I wouldn't worry about it at all. No, it won't cause significant amount of wear at all.

Thats barely broken In

Beretta claims an exceptionally long service life.

If it did, I wouldn't want it. I've got guns that have thousands of rounds through them and look brand new. He's just got it kinda broken in. I figure it takes 1k+ just to start running sorta smooth.

Go to a gun shop and find a Winchester 62 from the 30's-50's. They most likely got a a gazillion rounds thru them and they still work great.

It should go another 50,000 rounds at least if you take care of it.

in a day, yes
BUT, I know of two day courses that advise you that you may shoot over 3000 rounds in the two days of instruction

Consider, if you are shooting stoppage drills with 8 rounds and two dummies in a mag, 10 times, that's 80 rounds

you shoot a two mag course, 15 rounds per a mag, 5 times, that's 150 rounds.

No, not alot.

Barely getting started.

If you're asking the question then you're not one to put many rounds through a handgun. It will last you forever

If he is telling the truth you have nothing to worry about.

Is it maybe a Beretta Tomcat instead of a PX4?

No, 750 rounds is not very much at all. My favorite handgun has just over 1,000 rounds through it (I'm a little too broke to shoot much) and basically looks brand new. I'd have to field strip it and show you the wear marks on the slide rails before you'd know it had been shot.

I don't know about the PX4 but when I was in the police academy years ago I put around 6,000 rounds through a 92FS and it looked and functioned about the same at the end as it did when they first handed it to me. Beretta's hold up well.

The lower the count is always better but, as he said, that's barely broken in. If that count was 75,000, then I might wonder.

Yep, barely broken in.

Keep track of your own round count. I usually change the recoil spring in my autos every 1,500 rounds or so. Cheap in insurance, if you rely on them for SD.

I would say NO. A lot of gun manufactures say it takes at least 500 rounds to break-in before they will acknowledge any problems you might experience with a brand new gun. Of coarse it is always nice to hear the round count is less than 100 or never shot but 750 is not that much. Good luck,

It's about one weekend's worth of use.

I'm always a little leery when someone represents what the round count is on a gun. Are they the original owner? Do they have records? How does anyone possibly keep an accurate round count.
I would judge more on the condition of the gun - which also leads to how well it was cared for.
If the gun was only shot 500 rounds I would think it still looks brand new.

All depends on what gun it is and were all those rounds at or near maximum load or were they a bit on the calm-side?

Some cheap, inexpensive guns, you would be lucky to get several hundred rounds out of before parts are wearing and breaking to the point of malfunctioning!

750 a lot? As in total, not in a month? This must be some kind of a trick question, I've put 10.000+ rounds through some of my guns and I don't really regard them as well worn yet.

Unless the guy drug the gun behind his car for 50 miles, I'd call that "like new".

750 rounds is nearly nothing on any quality name brand firearm.

If it wasn't left to rust under a car seat for two years?

I, or a lot of gun dealers, can clean it, and you would never ever be able to tell it had been fired I betcha.

Like others have said. 750 is just getting broke in. I would only consider 500 or more rounds suitable for carry. So you are just getting there. I would be sure those 750 rounds are without fail. That's the question to ask. How many failures in those 750?

Also think that what 750 rounds would cost you to break in a new gun. You just saved, especially if you can get the gun at a discount.

Good luck.

On a somewhat regular basis, I will see articles in gun magazines where folks have shot over 100,000 rounds through their guns. I've got on pistol with over 10,000 rounds through it and as far as I'm concerned it is still like new.

750 rounds is nothing. Many of my guns have over 5,000, a few are over 10,000 and one is over 40,000 rounds fired.
