Round count? Really!!

Of the current armory the count looks like:
G19 ~2000, G34 5000, BE 9900 3000, S&W19 300, 686 ~4000, MkII 10,000 or so, Colt CTM 1000, P232 ~500, BDM (my dad's not mine) 1000+.....

Wow, I just realized I have a problem...

Ruger P-95

I have had my Ruger P-95 for 10+ years now with 9000+ rounds down range. 100% stock and nothing has broken yet.

I've got ruger Vaqueros that have had

close to 30,000 rounds through them. My Marlin lever action probably has close to the same. I couldn't come close to telling you how many my assorted rifles and pistols have had down the tubes so lets start with only the new ones.

Ruger LCP have owned it only a few months and been to the range with it twice. 600 rounds approximately.

Taurus PT-1911 that I have owned for one week. 300 rounds. Loading for it right now.

Glock that I carry daily has had more than 3000 rounds through it since the last time I cleaned it. Probably close to 10,000 rounds through it.

My other Glock is about the same as the first.

My first Glock 17 had over 50,000 through it by me, I bought it used from another competitive shooter and sold it to a competitive shooter. My current Glock 17 has over 10,000 rds through it since July of 2008. I shoot 1500-2000 rounds per month between practice and matches. Just since last Saturday I have put 700 rounds through my G17.
One of my Glock 22's has 35,000 rounds through it- after it was purchased from a police buy back.
I have a 10/22 that has to have over 100,000 rounds through it easily. I have had it for 20+ years and it gets shot a alot.

The one I have shot the most out of is an XD 9mm tactical. About 11,000 rounds. No real problems but had to change the recoil spring three times.

I don't keep track. Don't care enough about round count other than how many are left in the gun when I'm shooting.

Who knows but it's a bunch for my 1911s and .22s. Never really kept track and really don't see the need...

for me it is a way to keep up with when i need to replace parts, ie recoil springs, firing pin springs, mag springs etc, which are very important to the proper function of your handguns, and long guns. wait to long to change recoil springs and you could have issues, ie not cycling correctly, don't change the firing pin springs and you can have light primer strikes. mag springs, faliures to feed etc. round counts are really important for 1911's, when to change extractors, etc.

also if there is an issue with a gun i want to know exactly how long it went before it went down. and why.

Well, i don't keep track, but my walther P22 has over 1k i am sure. My savage MKII has over 10k, but i now shoot the pistol a lot more. Very reliable, after i found out how to properly oil a pistol...

To Your Specific Model:

I have the Taurus PT-145 MilPro (3rd Gen) as my daily carry. I got it maybe 3-4 months ago. Round figures (no pun intended) it's probably had 600 rounds through it. Blazer brass, WWW ball, Speer 185 gr HPs, Federal 230 gr HSTs & Hydra-Shoks.
Although you didn't ask, FWIW it has never failed. No FTF, FTE, stovepipes, nada. That's why it's my every day.

Glock 19C purchased May 2008, 6100! ZERO malfunctions.

FN Five-Seven USG. Purchased August 08-1100. Again, Zero issues.

Colt 1991 NRM .45 purchased used(1000-1500 rounds on it from previous owner) December 08- I put 825 through it. No issues.

Colt Special Combat GVT hard chrome .45. 1.20.09(LOL, you know what date that is don't you!) Had 300-400 through it from the previous owner. I've put through 425. No problems.

Taurus PT-1911 SS. Bought it in October 08, 1175 rds through it. I think it's my lightest recoil 1911.

I have others(Sp101, and a russian makarov) but I do not keep track of those.

I have several pistols w/ over 10,000 rounds through each, a couple w/ more than 20k & one w/ more than 35k -- I have 3 22's that have shot ALOT of rounds but I haven't kept the best track -- I would figure starting w / my Ruger Mk ii, 550 rounds every week for almost 17 years and a couple of wheelguns that have seen alot of rounds too
What can I say -- it's still cheaper than therapy & I get to be around the fellas

I have 20K+ rounds through my Springfield 45ACP and an equal number through my Ruger MKII. Those are the only guns I've lost count on. 5K+ through my AR15 High Power gun that is now in the shop for a new bbl, 3K through one of my Garands. None of my other guns come close.

Ive had 15k or so through my 10/22. Still have yet to have a problem other than dud rounds and fail to feeds from cheap mags (ram-lines dont work for me).

Being a handgun forum though. I have a S&W 5906 and ive put 300 rounds through it, but don't now actually round count as I bought it used. Only fail to feed ive ever had was with a unmarked mag I bought at a gunshow (last time I do that). Cant say enough good things about this gun in one lifetime. Just a real keeper.

I will only list the high counts.

Diamondback 46,243
DW 722 10,850
K22 Masterpiece 8,733
P9 Ultra 8,325
87t 8,261
Sig 229 sport 7,950 (but I am shooting it tomorrow so 8,500 easy)
PII 45 7,314
Ruger MK1 6,550
HWML 10mm 5,356
MD96 4,850
210-6 4,344
Python 4,163
Witness 4,068
MD84 4,024


All the rest are less then 4,000.

Yes, I know I am somewhat compulsive about records....

I have a hard enough time keeping track of the guns. I really don't keep track of the round counts.

I do have a Taurus PT145 though. It is a first generation. If I had to guess, it is approaching the 500 mark. No problems at all, so far.

I have 5100 and change through my SIG P229R 9mm. I'd have to consult my log book for the exact count.

How many rounds do you have out of your shooters? I was particularly interested if you have a Taurus pt145, but I didn't want to limit the question.

My PT145 is my favorite gun purely for it's reliability. Round count is a least 2500 and it keeps gobbling ammo like a teenager does food.

I've run about every flavor of ammo possible and it happily digests it all. XTP, hydrashoks, silvertips, SWC, RNFP, DoubleTap heavies to cowboy load low recoiling stuff too. I did go a bit low on some SWC cowboy loads and have a problem with stovepiping on that batch of rounds. If loading for low recoil, stay in the 60+% range for reliable cycling. The same can be said for my wife's PT 9mm model. Same year, slimmer grip, same willingness to eat like a teen.

I know Taurus can have a bad rap, but these two guns I have are just wonderful for my family.

SA 1911 I bought used I've fired 7,000 rds, G21 I bought used I've fired 3,000 rds, G22 10,000 rds, p-22 1200 rds.

I've got an old 22 that I don't shoot anymore. Seems between my granfather, my dad and myself we put enough rounds through the barrel to turn it into a smoothbore. The wrist and the forearm where you hold it are actually a darker finish from the body oils soaking in over the years. Hows that?

As far as functional guns, my fist sp101 is coming up on the 100,000 round mark. Wore out two sets of the rubber houge mono-grips so far, the third set is starting to show the nylon frame near the heel and the pebbled texture is pretty much smooth.

I use an excel spreadsheet instead of a notebook. I like it because you can sort the info into useful groupings, and it does the addition for you

Without even knowing why I was doing it, I started keeping track of rounds fired, type of ammo, target distance, etc. about a month after I started shooting. I noticed everyone on THR seemed to keep detailed records. I figured there must be a good reason why everyone did it, so maybe I should do it, too.

my round counts:
ruger 22/45 MKIII - 2590. Purchased new, so this is actual count, not an estimate
colt huntsman - 700 by me. No idea of how many in the 40 years before I got it.
S&W 10-5 - 24 by me. Guestimating 500 total including previous owners.
S&W 19-3 - 100 by me. No idea of before me except to say that, judging by looks, "lots and lots" probably isn't an understatement

Updating your records and cleaning you guns after a range session are just part of gun aftplay.

Spring champion operator - Just over 1000 before I got my S&W
S&W commander 1911 - right around 2000
Springfield EMP - only 300
Beretta Px4 (sold) - maybe 200
Colt 9mm commander - only about 250 so far
Ruger 22/45 MKIII - oh gosh, thousands
S&W M&P 45 - 100 so far
New remington 870 express - 20
S&W M&P15t - 200

I don't keep track, I just barrel rifles when shot out and rebuild my competition guns when the need arises. As prices go up I shoot less and less. Last month I spent over $600.00 for primers and bullets alone. If I am going to shoot as much as some of you guys I'll need a better job.
