How many rounds?
Good Morning;
Well about 600 rounds a month thru my M9. There are five of us with the same weapon, and are required to re-cert once a month to maintain our Tactical status. The re-cert is the easy part. It involves 150 rounds fired in a tactical setup (different each month) and we must have a score of 235 out of 240, so misfires are the only one allowed. No stove pipes no feed misjams nothing allowed. If the weapon jams, you must restart. Now here is the interesting part. Myself and two others are cleaning our weapons with Eezox and the others are using other products. It does appear that the weapons cleaned with Eezox perform better than those using other oils. In fact I just cleaned my weapon and it was dirty but still re-cert at a 238, was just too lazy to clean the weapon. You know the drill, gear down, lock the locker and beer-30 time.
My feelings about my M9. Well since dirty was invented I have tried some very wonderful firearms i.e., S&W (still my favorite) Glock, Sig and have never been dissapointed. The M9, appears to have one thing going for it, and that is the sights. I can acquire the target a little easier than with the dot sights. As long as it keeps working and shows no sign of rust or fatigue, it will stay in my holster. Working in South Florida near water all the time does play a important part.
