It did a study during university, therefore the relatively high number of rounds over a 1-year period. of course. I combined my ipsc-matches & practice with the study (counting, measurements, reporting.......) why not
by 20000 rds. the recoil guide rod was broken. i replaced it with a steel one from IGB but with the standard spring.
stovepipe bevore i cleaned the gun completley by 25000 rds. that means i din't cleaned the gun before. just the barrel after a run, nothing else.
during a match my barrel was away because i had a blind bullet! (in austria we call it "a blind bullet" - one bullet was still in the barrel an the second one hits the first, so the barrel blow up al little bit). steyr send me a spare (FOC) because of study. since them no problems at all.

i finished the project last month with 50155 rds. and for a good statitic it takes me the next few weeks.
now for "optical"reasons i change the spring guide again.

PS: i forgot now the brass get out in direction 02:00 and the trigger is down to 1,35kg

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.
