I have a question about what a realistic round count (say, monthly) through a handgun would be. I've owned my first and only gun, a CZ 75 Compact PCR, for about 5 months now, and try to go to the range every week. I run through drills that I have been shown during training, as well as what I've seen here on INGO and elsewhere on the internet. When I first started, I would put 100 rounds downrange per session, but quickly got to the point where I felt cheated when finished--I WANTED MORE. I now take 200 rounds with me each week, and I figure that my round count through the gun is around 4000. (And not a single problem!).
I'm not looking for a pat on the back nor a kick in the dupa, just using my experience as a reference. In a way, for me, shooting now is similar to golf when I played: I love to practice. Heck I enjoy cleaning the gun after every visit to the range. I understand that I am most likely an exception in the gun community in that I only own one firearm, but even if/when I do add another firearm (or two), my intent would be to treat them the same way.
But I see quite a few ads, maybe the majority, listing guns for sale or auction with what seem to me like extremely low round counts through them. I am by no means doubting the veracity of such listings, I am just puzzled. It seems like grilling the perfect rib eye, and just leaving it on the grill, or marrying the most beautiful woman in the world and...well...
Thanks for reading the ramble.
