    2000 Round Revolver Challenge

    Let's see if revolvers can hold up as well as semi-auto pistols to Todd's 2000 Round Challenge rules?

    * The pistol cannot be cleaned, lubricated, or maintained in any way during the entire 2,000 round test period. *

    I don’t think it will happen. My J’s start choking before 600 rounds.

    You go first...
    I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.

    In the desert, looking for water.
    My S&W 18 might make 100 rounds before coking up too much to continue. There is ammo that will do it in two cylinders. Twelve rounds, two shots per chamber.

    Most any of my others will do better than that, but they aren’t Glocks.

    They can't. Especially if you aren't allowing things like sweeping out flakes of unburnt powder under the extractor.
    Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.

    I see no reason to do this, or to abuse any of my guns in such a way.
    If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.

    Maybe a 500 or 750 round challenge? Or just 250?

    Or maybe simply surviving an afternoon with @jetfire?

    I had a Brazilian contract 1917 that did an informal 2000 round challenge. After 500 or so rounds I would pull a bore snake thru the barrel and chambers a couple of times but yeah I believe it would complete a 2000 round challenge.

    I’m also confident any of my ruger single action center fired revolvers would complete a 2000 round challenge.

    Easy answer: they won't.
    We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.......

    I don’t remember what the round count is in ECQC. It’s not very high. Revolvers will do that.
