    Sig Sauer P226 Navy 50,000 rounds (update 04/14/2010)


    Today I fired the 50,000th round from the Sig Sauer P226 Navy #NSW 14xx. It took five years, and 29 days.
    The Sig P226 was puchased new on September 7th, 2004.


    I kept a log on every round fired from the Navy P226. It was cleaned after almost every range session.
    Here are some statistics:
    *The recoil spring was replaced every 5,000 rounds.
    *18,300 rds. the spring guide rod was replaced. It wore out from using Wolff springs (this is the only part replaced on the Sig).
    *22,000-25,000, 3,000 between cleaning.
    *28,000 rounds several failure to feed, due to faulty Remington ammo (these were the only failures).
    *41,200 rounds hammer dropped three times (from single action). Continued to fire ok.
    *126 trips to the range.
    *Average 397 rounds fired per range trip.
    *Cleaned with M-pro 7, and Gun Scrubber.
    *Lubricants, Weapon Shield, and G96 oil.

    Some ammunition statistics:
    *Approximately 98% of the ammo fired was 115gr.
    *Weight of fully loaded cartriges
    1000rds.=26.36lbs.
    10,000rds.=263.60lbs.
    50,000rds.=1,318lbs.
    *Total weight of bullets (based on 115gr. bullets)
    60.87, 115gr bullets = 1 pound
    50,000, 115gr bullets = 821.42lbs.

    *50,000 rds. = 1,000, 50 round boxes
    *1,000 boxes @ $10.00 each (approxmately)=$10,000
