    Pistol: S&W M&P 9 Pro Series
    Caliber: 9mm
    Ammunition: 2,087 Rounds of Freedom Munitions 115gr Reloads, 511 Rounds of Atlanta Arms & Ammo 147gr FMJ reloads
    Dates of testing: 03/18/2014 - 03/21/2014
    Total rounds fired: 2,598
    Stoppages: 1 - Had what sounded like a squib (if I didn't hear it hit the target I would've check the barrel) which resulted a stove pipe with Freedom Munitions - it was my third one with that particular batch of ammo (I shot a total of 4,000 rounds of Freedom this week)
    Malfunctions: 0
    Parts breakage: 1 - Left lever of the slide stop broke off
    Modifications: Apex D/C AEK, Apex Competition Striker Spring, Warren Tactical Fiber Optic Sight set, and misc grip enchantments (the details of which aren't relevant to this test).

    Before I tested it this pistol had shot a total of 18,585 rounds, and 3,207 rounds since the last time I really cleaned the gun. During that cleaning I replaced the recoil spring assembly, the Apex Competition Striker Spring, and the Apex D/C Springs. It had a basic relube before I started.

    No, not yet. I figured I would update my post as I go along, otherwise I would totally forget about it. Is that not allowed?

    I did back to back challenges with same G34

    Pistol: Glock 34 Gen4
    Caliber: 9mm
    Ammunition: 3,410 147gr xtreme plated reloads, 3.4gr Titegroup
    Dates of testing: 02/15/2014 - 04/15/2014
    Total rounds fired: 3,410
    Stoppages: 0

    Pistol: Glock 34 Gen4
    Caliber: 9mm
    Ammunition: 3,520 147gr xtreme plated reloads, 3.4gr Titegroup
    Dates of testing: 04/18/2014 - 06/20/2014
    Total rounds fired: 3,520
    Stoppages: 0
    Malfunctions: 0
    Parts breakage: 0
    Modifications: Jager Guide Rod, 13lb ISMI Spring, Zev Ultimate Standard Trigger Kit w/3lb striker spring, Dawson Sights. At the end of this test all springs were replaced.

    So far the only stoppages (3) were due to ammo loaded too long (1.16ish) for the magazines. I did not count these against the gun since they were caused by bad pieces of brass and poor QC of my reloading.
