That poor Sig has some significant carbon issues....Originally Posted by BaiHu
Wait, this is still a thing? I thought we weren't supposed to clean ANY gun before 2000 rounds in memory of ToddG from March of last year? Crap! Gun cleaning: I'm doing it wrong.

No dirty Wilson porn? The travesty!
Shoot more, post less...
So on 12/122016 I reported on my Colt .38 Super that went 2000 rounds successfully.
"2000 Round Challenge
Pistol: Colt Government Model, bought new fall of 2012
Caliber: .38 Super Auto
Ammunition used: Fiocchi, Armscor, Geco, Sig Sauer, Remington, Handloads.
Dates of testing: 8/19/16 to 12/12/16
Total Rounds Fired: 2005
Stoppages: 6, failure to go into battery
Malfunctions: Zero
Breakages: Zero"
So I did clean it, just couldn't help myself, but that was it. I checked for unusual wear and tear but found nothing to remark. The Wilson shok-buff is still in good shape so it remains as is the Wilson flatwire #15 spring. Just went approximately 1000 rounds of my own handloads, a mix of 124 Extreme RN and Hornady HAP 115's. The 124's are loaded to reasonable PF with VV N320, the HAP's are loaded near max with VVN340. I am noticing zero case bulge [stock Colt unsupported barrel] but I am seeing primer flow with the S&B SPP I am using. Zero malfunctions with one failure to go into battery with the previously identified Checkmate mags. I knew better, but had to try, they are relegated to dry fire and gun handling drills now.
Planning on going to small rifle primers for all my future .38 super loads, I haven't tried them yet but I am confident the full power Colt mainspring will set them off. It's really dirty again but shows no sign of slowing down.
As a versatile heavy duty handgun with reasonable capacity I think this Colt fits the role.
Nice update. Thanks!

This is a Gen 3 Frankenglock with G17 slide assembly that I combined with a Gen 3 G31 lower with chopped grip to allow 15 round G 19 mags to fit.
I had no breakages, but broke the spirit of the 2k challenge by replacing parts to reduce BTF. Ejector was swapped from the .357/.40 ejector to the standard 336 unit, to the 30274 unit. Adding an on LCI bearing dropped BTF from 10% to 1-2%. Adding an Apex extractor dropped it to zero.
I also installed a minus connector, Dawson Charger sights, and SCD during the course of the test.
The two malfunctions were a FTE on round 599 absolutely due to an ancient and poorly spring magazine, and an unknown cause FTE/inline stovepipe around round 2000. This occurred with the Apex extractor and a Magpul GL9 magazine, and Ranger
T +P ammo.
Pistol: Glock 17 Gen4, UUD prefix
Caliber 9x19
Ammunition: Mix of TulAmmo, Remington, SIG, Hornady, Winchester, Independence Aluminum, old Wolf Military Classic, American Eagle
Dates of Testing: 20170413 - 20170520
Total Fired: 2003
Stoppages: 2 - Magpul GL9 and steel case - mags run fine with brass, not counted against pistol as the issue is easily repeatable
Notes: Pistol bought used in October 2014. Previous to this test I had put 1812 rounds through the gun with minimal maintenance. This is my EDC, steel plate comp, and training gun.
Pistol: Beretta PX4 Compact Carry
Caliber: 9mm
Dates of Testing: 4/4/2017 - 5/20/2017
Ammunition: 2,112 total. Breakdown:
Wolf 115 - 450
Freedom Munitions 124 RN New - 450
Federal 115 - 12
Federal Aluminum 115 - 300
Atlanta Arms 115 JHP Match - 20
Winchester White Box 115 - 270
Speer 115 - 50
Speer 124 - 295
Speer 124+P - 15
Speer 147 - 250
Notes: Very impressed with the shootability of this gun. It's a performer. It's everything I love about the Brigadier Tactical shrunk down into a G19 size DA/SA gun. I can shoot this tit for tat compared to my Brig Tac. Really enjoyed putting rounds through this and I plan to shoot either this or my full size PX4 in the June Langdon Tactical Class. Lubed with Lucas "Extreme Duty" gun oil on everything but the barrel cam (that got Lucas ED grease). Cleaned right up with a paper towel and brake cleaner in about 5 minutes. The NP3 on some of the internals sure sped up cleanup. It now resides in my JM AIWB and has assumed the role of primary carry gun.

This HK P2000 ran perfectly. I would be comfortable carrying it and recommending it to anyone interested in a G19 sized gun. My only changes prior to starting test were to convert it from V2 to V1 with a trigger return spring, and add Dawson Carry sights. Initially I was shooting 3" high with the sights, but it settled in to shooting POA at top of front sight. I am unclear if this was due to different ammo, break in, or me getting familiar with the decidedly unusual LEM trigger. I ran it with the XL back strap for my medium sized hands since the trigger breaks quite far back toward the grip.
