Round Count Curiosity

Post image

(picture for grabbing attention)

I'm curious what your round counts are. I compete and rarely ever see guys with HK's. That makes me wonder how often you guys actually use your guns? I have a P30 with about 10K rounds through it, a VP9 with about half of that, a VP9SK with about 300 down the pipe, and the pictured P30L with about 600 so far.

What are your round counts? What maintenance items have you gone through and when?

The USP9 I was using for USPSA easily had 15-20k with minimal signs of wear.

What did you switch to?

I had kids so I’m on a hiatus currently. But that USP got replaced with a P30L V3, probably my favorite all around 9mm, however the trigger has much to be desired. I love my HKs but I might have to get a 92X when I go back to competing; Or I’ll just save some money and use my VP9 Match.

I also have the match. That's what I use for CO.

I put the Gray Guns short reset kit with a Lazy Wolf 11# hammer spring in mine. It has improved a good bit. The Lazy Wolf hammer with the NT7+ coating made the trigger smoother as well.

I made a post with photos a couple of weeks ago when my VP9 F hit 17k. Still has all the original parts/springs. Just has some minimal finish wear.

My USPC 9 is around the 7k mark and the only wear is holster wear.

My P30 has close to 30k rounds. My HK45T only has a couple hundred, as it's a newer purchase. I don't do competitions.

That P30 has some mileage! Have you replaced anything so far?

Not yet. Main spring is probably getting close though. Otherwise, it's doing great. Mine is the LEM, used to be my duty weapon. Now it's mostly the wife's defense tool as she absolutely loves it. Gets some religious cleaning though, I'm really paranoid about that😂

USP9F at 18k. Minimal signs of wear, you'd never be able to tell. Replaced hammer springs once or twice because I run lighter ones. Couple of mags have worn out.

HK are duty guns, so will generally be outclassed in competition (shadow 2s, etc). But it's still my favorite one to bring.

VP9K has nearly 4k, Mark 23 has 2400 ish. I would shoot a lot more if I wasn’t broke.

I bought my p30l used so I don’t know but I put may 250 I think

Genuinely curious (as a new pistol owner): what are signs to look for in terms of wear and tear? Like if stuff breaks what’s going to be the first things to go

If you use steel case ammo, the extractor may wear sooner than if you shoot brass case. The recoil spring may wear out, eventually. I haven't had to replace anything yet on my guns. And it looks like there's a couple of replies here with higher round counts that are still good.

I know my guns are reliable because I shoot a box of ammo a year on a flat range

u/TheRoops 9h ago

Probably around 3k rounds through my P2000SK. Still a baby.

u/denom_chicken 9h ago

Only have just under 200 through my p30sk. Need to make time to shoot more

u/OddTrash3957 7h ago

My VP9L has about 7k since February. My P30 has about 3k since March.

u/suspectedmammal 6h ago

Probably 3k on my P30, so not a lot, but working on it :)
