Pistol Forum has a fairly established protocol that many have adopted as a baseline reliability with regard to semi-auto pistols. In the context of revolvers, would a 2,000 round challenge be useful? The internet is awash in threads stating revolvers are more reliable than auto loaders and it is taken as established fact.
What kind of vulnerabilities do revolvers suffer from with high round counts? Sure ammo load/spectrum tolerance is touted as an advantage due to not being bullet profile sensitive. But, what about large quantities of lead projectile use? Carbon ring build-up, cylinder bore leading, etc. how many rounds before feeding effort needs to be increased? Extraction issues or increased extraction effort being required?
I will admit my revolver experience is lacking and I want to address this void in my handgunning.
Just curious if the challenge would be useful or not? Also curious if criteria should be a bit different when applied to defensive revolver context.
