I accept the 2k round challenge...anyone else want to join me?

Thanks Max - wheeew man I would get my clock cleaned on that drill.....but sure would be fun to test at the range for sure. I would need to clear that with the range manager first since they dont allow rapid fire BUT I doubt my performance would even be considered rapid fire the time it would take me to acquire the targets and hit accurately.

Todd you smoked that thing man! Nice!

Yep I shoot about 250 rounds per range trip per caliber, I only have a chance to get to the range once a week so it is gonna take me a while to get through the challenge. In my training journal I list the ammo I used at the range but I can add it here too. So far I have 150 rounds of Winchester White Box and 100 rounds of Federal Champion, all 180 gr 40 S&W and the 300 rounds of CCI Mini Mag through the 22.

Excellent, this will be a fun test for both of us. I will also fire off probably 200 rounds this weekend and I estimate between 2-3 months to hit 2k on that pistol

I started a similar thread on another forum after I decided to put my GEN 4 G17 through it. I thought it would be fun, and give me another excuse to shoot a lot of rounds in a fairly short period of time. I also figured I'd see if anyone wanted to join me.

The result of the thread so far, has been 5 pages of mostly guys B****ing & Moaning, and other general nonsense.

I had a sequence of terrible events happen since I decided to do it, so I'm not where I hoped I'd be, but I'm still going. I'm @ 300rds with no stoppages, nothing else of interest to note so far.

Happy shooting Meat - looking forward to all 3 of our results in a couple months

I've been contemplating doing the 2000 round test with my Kahr pm40. Not sure yet.... didn't see any pocket pistols in that thread but then again I just skimmed it.


Motivation??????

[StainlessSteel215]

Guess it boils down to: can you afford it...and do you have a backup gun in case it seizes up in the process? If so, I think its the best idea for putting your trusted guns to the test!

I'll join ya, if you don't mind.

I just picked up a Sig P229 3 weeks ago, the one in my avatar picture; as of an hour ago I've got 225 rounds through it.

I got it used, so I don't know how many rounds it's already seen. But, we're on our way to a 2K round challenge

[StainlessSteel215]

Awesome Zac - lets do it.
And to be honest I dont think it really matters what the history on the gun is...new or used....obviously it will take a greater toll on a heavily used gun but the whole premise is...will it hold up under extremely dirty conditions!

[StainlessSteel215]

Officially kicked off my first 192 rounds today at the range....and documented with a video. I guess I want to keep this thread dedicated to progress and updates through the 2k journey. I took a nice shot of it squeeky clean and looking nice. Today I fed it:

• 42 rounds of 9mm Federal JHP +P 124gr
• 150 rounds of Fiocchi 115gr FMJ

Not a single hiccup

I'd be more worried about the state of the springs, specifically recoil spring/mainspring. If you have a clapped out RSA it doesnt matter how clean or inherently reliable the gun is. Other small parts breakage should be taken into account when purchasing used.
