50,000 (now 88K) rounds and counting: Springfield Operator

[one]

I'd like to read the other thread regarding the Colt. Could someone direct me to what LTW is or link that thread?

Appreciated.

At this point in use a Glock would have seen a couple of spring changes and then continue to run. Not sure as to the point of the thread other than 1911 parts wear out and break after high round counts.

SS wonder,
If you prefer the Glock platform to this particular pistol, it's wear patterns, broken parts, "obsolescence" of the 1911 platform, etc., might it make more sense that you have Glock threads to comment on instead of this thread?

For Post#171, i don't know what you're referring to but "LTW" probably means this forum:

It is indeed. Under custom pistols, high mileage comes to town. Good read.

The round count on Rob's Operator is pretty accurate-- I'd say within 5%-- at least up until the 120K or so. This Colt, we have re-evaluated the probable, but undocumented, round count over the last few years and it is incredibly high--- I mean incredible in the truest sense of the word, as in, one might lose credibility by stating it so I hesitate to do so. Very, very conservatively it is well over 150K.

I'm not a big fan of the 1894 Winchester but to me it would be interesting to read about one that had say 100K through it and track wear and breakages. I think most people find the same of interest with a 1911, whether a fan or not-- that's the point. I definitely would be interested in tracking a Glock into the round count stratosphere.

I don't care how many rounds this Springfield product has had shot through it.

In light of all the stuff they did in Illinois recently...they are dead to me.

You may not care but I find it interesting as to what the gun can withstand. I don't care who makes it.

And for the record I'm a glock guy......... but I still find this interesting

For point of reference, Todd Green conducted a round by round test of a Glock 17, which stopped at a tad over 70k because the breech face began dimpling to the point that Glock recommended he stop shooting it.....so you may want to reevaluate your statement.
