Hi, just bought a glock 17 recently and I was wondering who has the highest round count through his glock hehehe
How many rounds through your glock?

my old g17 had over 35000 (thirty five thousand) rounds through it and still worked flawlessly. My Visa on the other hand

You win. Take off the last zero and you have approximately what I've put through mine

My last G19 had about 60K when I got rid of it. My current one is at about 3K and my G23 is at around 30-35K...
it would be cool if someone would invent a round counter kind of like an odometer in a vehicle. anything like this out there? i thought about, so there must be someone who has already come up with something like this

I have a Glock 22 .40 cal that I have been shooting since early 1995. It has over 30,000 rounds through it without one fail to feed, fire, extract or eject. And it still looks pretty good despite having been in and out of a holster thousands of times, too...

The factory barrel in my G22 above still looks like new. The only part that has been replaced is the extractor and only because it was recommended by Glock and they supplied the replacement part. That was circa 1998, though. The recoil spring is original. As are the mags/springs. And they have always been compressed with a full load of ctgs from day one [except when being emptied on the range...

why is it that you have to compress your mag spring in order to preserve it's life? i always thought that if you keep it compressed, the spring would eventually take that form. do you always keep all your mags loaded?
Springs only wear out when they are being used. (ie. actually in motion) Keeping a spring "sprung" or compressed for long periods of time has a negligible impact on its life. I would surmise that with high quality pistols, the recommendation to change out a spring after "x" many rounds is more of a liability issue than an actual reliability issue.

who shoots reloads with there glocks in here?
Most everyone with bigger than a 9mm. Factory ammo is ridiculously expensive. Some of us, even shoot lead. Don't tell Gaston, though
Most of us do. It is not only cost saving, for me no big deal because I didn't shoot that much. but you can pet load your own ammo fit your gun.
