    101,500 rounds on my G21 until it was seized.

    Board policy mandates I state that I shoot for BCM. I have also done work for 200 or so manufacturers within the firearm community. I am prior service, a full time LEO, firearm instructor, armorer, TL, martial arts instructor, and all around good guy.

    I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...

    Type it into my phone on the range then transcript into those little log books.

    Easy peasy.

    Was seized, or seized?

    I tried once with a new sig550 i got a few years ago. It got really difficult/tedious after about six months so I just gave up and started estimating instead.

    I buy cases of ammo at a time, and use the case (1000rounds) as an ambiguous way to estimate round counts. I separate my shooting and storage ammo which helps.

    Some guys must be really anal retentive to have such accurate and meticulous round counts. ( no offense intended at all ). I'm anal/ocd about many things, but way too lazy to try and keep track of precise round counts. The difficulty in keeping accurate round counts I think gets increased when a person owns many firearms in the same caliber.

    What's the purpose? I can see why with a precision rifle but for AR'S and pistols I don't see the value in keeping a log outside of my general estimation based on my shooting habits.

    I’ve gotten tired of excell spreadsheets or paper logging each range trip. So what I do now is buy a case of ammo and label it for the gun, even if I own other same caliber guns. If I lend or borrow a few mags to/from a buddy or another gun, I mark that on the side of the ammo case. Then I log the case when it’s spent.

    Some of my guns I am to lazy to log anymore, and just deal with wear or breakage as it occurs.

    I like to know when it's near time for barrel replacement.

    I’m inspired by Ned’s 1911 thread and want to keep a log for maintenance purposes similar to my car.
