Your highest round count in a pistol?

I've only started buying autoloaders in the past 4 years. My P32 has over 1000rnds without a single breakage. The last 200 or so rounds have been what amounts to +P 32ACP handloads.

My "new to me" Beretta 92F has untold amount of rounds prior to my purchase and about 400 by me alone. No problems so far.

18,000 rounds (plus a few before I started counting) on a Taurus PT99AF. No actual breakages, but I replaced the springs several times and replaced the locking block. Of course, no way to know if anything would have actually failed or broken or flew back in my face.

Only real complaint is it shoots very far to the left. Even with the sight adjusted all the way over.

I've put 5,000 rounds through a few different 1911s and have never experienced an actual breakage in any of them either.

I put over 90k rounds through a M29. After setting the barrel back 3x, 4 new hands and 3 stars and a lot of other parts I can't remember. After the top strap was gas cut past the half way point and I didn't think it was safe to shoot anymore I retired it.

I have a Colt 1911 that has well over 10,000 rounds through it. I don't know, maybe 20k ?
Have I had malfunctions ? Yes.
Have I had parts break ? No, but I have had parts wear out.

If you have anyone tell you that they have fired a similar number of rounds and never had a malfunction and never had parts wear out, RUN. Anything else they have to say isn't worth listening to.

I have a Sig-Sauer 228 9mm, my only auto handgun.

Before I got it it had about 2000 rounds through it.
I personally put about 4k rounds through it. No malfuncations or worn out parts at all.
I did change the springs after I bought it just because I thought it'd be a good idea. Even though I trust the seller, there's no telling how many rounds were really put through it before I got it because he bought it as a police trade in (probably few rounds from the officer ).

That's not a lot of rounds compared to many shooters, but its the highest of what I own.

I have lost count of how many rounds have gone through my Ruger P95!!

I know it's at least a few cases!!!

It still goes bang every time I squeeze the trigger!!!

Sorry about the above post, I evidently didn't understand the Handguns:Autoloaders part.

Regarding autos, I've got a 1911 with over 35k through it and many new parts, a Beretta 96 with 14k and a couple of new parts, a MKII with 25k and many new parts. I like to shoot a lot.

my glock 19 has over 69000 round
my kimber 1911 has over 41000

both still get around 500-700 rounds each week depending on which one i choose to shoot comp with. only minor problems, like springs and magazines have to be replaced

S&W M41, a bit over 40,000 rounds.

Stoppages: occasionally stovepipes. Had a few failures to feed.

No part breakages, but some mechanical issues. Had scope mount screws back out, scope ring screw stripped. Red dot sight died at the same time scope mount screw backed out. Magazine lip crushed (owner error). Replaced recoil spring once a year.

The first USP .45 did not last through the first trip to the range, but none of the others did either, which was why they were all recalled.

The second lasted a little over 20K before the left rear frame rail broke off.

The Glock 23 saw at least 40K rounds before the trigger reset spring broke. When I looked inside I noticed the locking block had split in half, front to back!

The Kimber has close to 30K in .45 and over 20K in .22lr and only needed a slide stop.

I like to shoot.

Has to be an old Colt Huntsman, and I don't even know how many thousands. Close second is a Ruger MK II Stainless Target 6 7/8 bbl, going on maybe 30k. I'm thinking about replacing the springs in that Ruger, although it functions flawlessly.

Diamondback 45,184 rnds
Springfield P9ultra 6859 rnds
Les Baer PII 6326 rnds
Ruger mk 1 5250 rnds
S&W K22 Master 5125 rnds
Sig 229 sport 5039 rnds
DW 722 4981 rnds
LB HWML 10mm 4353 rnds


Those are the ones over 4000 rnds, I got a lot with less. The diamondback was my only handgun for about 15 to 20 years, so it got all the wear and tear. It has had 2 trips to smiths and one loop back to colt. I broke the cylinder bolt spring, had it "tuned up" once (springs) and had colt take out the endshake and re-time it.

I take issue with that statement

I once put 30,000 rds of cast bullet and bullseye reloads thru a Series 70 Colt 1911, in one summer. I didn't even change recoil springs. I had a couple of (real) surplas mags fall apart. I had an extractor break a hook, while I was shooting wax rds, but I caught it and replaced it. I had a firing pin stop crack, and I caught that. I broke a finger on a collet bushing. I had no malfunctions ,but when I noticed it, I replaced it, too. I had a pc break off of on of the lower barrel lugs, but it had no effect. The loads were half 200 gr, half 230 grs, 750 fps. I cleaned the pc less than a dozen times during that 30,000 rds.


Ross Siefried put .5 million rds of full charge stuff, 230 gr lrn, 850 fps, thru a pair of 1911's, over a 4 year span during his try for the IPSC World title. He had the barrels replaced every 50k rds, due to external wear, and had the slides tightened. He never said what all parts broke. A full charge .45 load beats up a gun a lot worse than does a 9mm load.

Ruger mark II say 9500 or 10k rounds
Hk Usp 45 round 1300

Nothing Broke in either one

About 13,000 through Tanfoglio EA40, .40SW, sold as Witness, (first Witness 40 in the states), no parts breakage, replaced recoil spring at 10,000 just because. Some minor holster wear, (carried every single day for well over 12 years.), so the finish also beats most I have seen.

If you have anyone tell you that they have fired a similar number of rounds and never had a malfunction and never had parts wear out, RUN. Anything else they have to say isn't worth listening to.

Forgot to add 5 malfs in that time with the Witness - all reloads. Wouldn't want anyone to think I ain't worth listenin' too....

XD9 Service Model

My XD9 has at least 10,000 rounds thru it since I bought it used, so I'm not sure what the round count actually is. It wasn't too worn looking when I got it so it might have had 1000 or so before I bought it.

I did replace the recoil spring after the first 5 cases of Blazer 115's I shot thru it just for kicks. Didn't really need it I bet.

No malfunctions or anything like that. Just keep it lightly oiled and have not seen any rust or unusual wear.

I have a blued ruger MKII 4" taper barrrel model 22lr, bought in 1987, it probably has 50,000+ rounds through it. It still shoots good, replaced the springs a couple of times.

I expect another 100,000 from it at least.

Had a Keltec p11 that I put 11,500+ rds thru. Had to replace the recoil springs twice and the guide rod once, but the only time it ever went to the factory was to get parkerized.
My Mitchell Trophy II was used when I bought it, but I've got 8,250 rds thru it so far with out replacing anything.

About 5,000 thru my USP9. Maybe a thousand thru my Stahl

I've got about 2500 through my FN Forty-Nine. No malfunctions at all.
Got about 2000 through my CZ-75B. No malfunctions at all.
Got over 4500 through my .380 commercial Bulgarian Makarov. A few FTE when it was new, but I attributed those to break in. No failures since except for some questionable ammo. Cheap gun show ammo can choke up any gun.

All guns are the way they came out of the box. No parts replaced and no repairs done save for a drop free mag brake on the CZ. Not like that effects the operation of the action though.

I have a Ruger Standard Automatic (aka Mk1) that I've shot countless bricks of .22lr through since the 1970's. That piece easily has 100,000 rounds through it.

Had a Randall .45 and put 67,000 rounds downrange.....mostly 200 grain h&g's. Only blew off the front sight......the gun still shot better than I could see, and looked new, except for that burnt in gunpowder residue on the muzzle end....unfortunately it was stolen, or I'd probably still be shooting it.
