Chuck Taylor documented putting 276,000 rounds through a Glock 17, and there are claims of rental Glock pistols having over 400,000 rounds through them with only minor problems.

That’s a lot of zombies.

I’m somewhat jealous. I have an older .45 HK, a P9S, and the magazine lips bend if you look at it funny. They are also made of unobtanium. Because HK hates me.

I put over a thousand shots through my liver with only two mishaps....an exwife and a cross dresser in tijuana.

Chuck Taylor? Of Converse High Tops?

WTF? Not one more word at ammoland than was in the article above.

And what was the article composition? A third grade class project?
No mention of what H&K model was used. There are at least 4 different models besides the USP. That like saying a Ford just went it’s 50,000th mile without anb oil change. Uh, car? Truck? The article from ammoland was totally useless.

Exactly what I was going to post. 50K isn’t even a break in for the Glock pistols. I’m sure H&K is proud of their product but it’s a long way from the Glock standard of reliability.

Ok. After a LOT of digging & a very painful read, here’s the skinny:

“As announced previously, the 2010 pistol-training.com endurance test will be of a

Heckler & Koch HK45 full size LEM.”

First he gripes about the trigger spring, then the magazine floorplate lip, then the sights.
I thought it was an endurance test between cleanings? Lock it in a Ransom Rest & start firing. He writes like he is prepping for a world class match.

“Since then, I took my Everyman’s Home Gunsmithing Kit (dremel) and recontoured the stupid floorplates. I’ll post pics next week, but it is much more comfortable for me and I’m no longer throwing shots simply by gripping the gun properly.I’ve also added Heinie Straight Eight QWIK sights.”

I wonder what the record is for the 1911?

1000 Round Glock Torture Test:

Part one

Part two

We’ve put about 125,000 through our MP-5.One re-barrel and a couple of extractors springs were the only problems.

When putting that many rounds through a firearm, would one use something beyond a typical speedloader for the magazine? I would think loading that many rounds would be rather a chore. Actually, even just having to change magazines many thousands of times would get annoying. I wonder if there are any automated machines to handle that sort of thing?
