How was 2000 rounds arrived at as a reliability goal? Following a brief read of the 2000 round challenge rules, I did NOT see the claim that this was the gateway through which any serious pistol choice must pass.
Therefore, is this just some kind of bragging rights for your pistol to have?
Perhaps it is the result of an industry Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) standard that isn't mentioned.
Either way is totally cool, I just want to know which it might be.
It is entirely possible that a pistol which would only run 500 rounds under the rules could be considered as a reliable carry piece for serious purposes. Perhaps with a proviso that it should be cleaned and lubricated every 500 rounds/3 months which ever comes first sort of procedure. That would not be an onerous requirement for even a quite large organization or individual.
It is also possible that testing and experience has shown that the 2000 round limit stresses the design to a point that serious reliability/durability/maintainability issues are plainly exposed.
I'd just like to know if I'm bragging or evaluating here.
