Hey guys, I think that a good measure for a pistol is how many rounds you can put through it without major problems, with regular maintainance.
For Instance, a friend of mine in the SOF community has put over 500 THOUSAND rounds through a G17 without a hickup (springs replaced when needed) and this is with millitary 9mm which is known for being on the hot side (and breaking M9s)
Has a M&P been tested in such a way? Will I have to email Julie Goloski to find out
?
I looked at the "range reports" thread and see that most guys are under the 5k mark, which IMHO is a little low to judge durability.
It would be good to know if these pistols last like they should, before I switch from something I know is dead nuts reliable and durable.
