    Did you replace magazines or the mag springs?

    What was this problem:
    *41,200 rounds hammer dropped three times (from single action). Continued to fire ok.
    It still shoots very good, accuracy is also very good. I still use the same 11 magazines that I purchased with the P226. They are all original, and only cleaned once.
    I believe the hammer dropping is due to a worn disconnector, but it still fires just fine.

    It was some real cheap Remington ammo. I fired the rest of it through a couple Glocks, and was getting the same problem. The ammo was so weak, it was having a hard time cycling the slide.

    How does the slide and frame have no visible wear on it from these pics with 50,000 rounds through it? Do you not own a holster for it?

    Yes, I have a Kramer horse hide holster, but it is not carried that much. It's mostly a range gun.

    Here are inside pictures of the Navy P226.
    Amazingly, it looks very good!

    Can you take some pics with the gun field stripped? I'd like to see the internal wear

    you beat me to it. Thanks

    I've seen much greater wear on 226s (and others) with substantially lower round counts. If you had posted the pics without a round count, I'd have guessed 5-10k, tops.

    The weapon looks damn good after 50K rounds. Is the barrel worn out? I'm surprised at any acceptable accuracy left in her. I was expecting a disaster on the internals. Congrats.
