i like a .25acp for a "stand-off veapons program" vs. a rock or a stick!
as far as shooting a barrel out???? give me a break here! i doubt there is a SINGLE PERSON ON HERE that shoots 60K (60thousand) rounds a year here. and 60K is an average number shot in a years time amongst the group with robbie leathem on sunday. be it .45/.38 super/9mm/.40.
yep 60k rounds and they are NOT having to rebarrel. sounds like alot but guns are made to last if ya buy quality.
i cant even conceive it, but when thats what you do for a living and thats what it takes to stay on top, thats a hell of a testament for springfield/colt/beretta/glock/hk/smith/ sig,etc etc. quality, that was represented sunday.
yes there is extreme takedown and cleaning on these, but still thats a hell of alot of rounds downrange without failures.
i look at each and every veapon i own as a really really really expensive tool that i cannot afford to break ever. and i dont have the bucks to replace them. therefore each and every time i go shooting, part of the ritual is to come home, grab some cold juans to unwind and start cleaning them down to the firing pin. it verks for me. and its a good way to become "one" mit der veapon. i told my kid if i EVER FIND his veapon dirty..................its his ass!
each and every time we go thru the drill of cleaning them and thats anal down to lubing them with a q-tip and not a speck of dirt anywhere. every long veapon has its own lil comfy/plushy case and all the associated goodies and a cleaning kit for everyjuan for the field. kleenbore makes some real simple kits that have multiple different calibers and are small enough to take anywhere.
same goes for my rws rifle and pistol. i clean the hell out of it and it goes pfffft everytime dead nuts. take care of yer firearms and they will take care of you.
