There are frames in the USMC inventory that have had as many as 500,000 rounds fired through them...

I don’t know. At some point I would just chuck it and get another one.

True, and I’m sure a few go that way. Still it is a testiment to, as another poster wrote, John Browning’s genius. I understand that the Marines are buying new manufacture 1911A1s on the commercial market to help fill demand within the ranks.
