For a rifle, around 500 rounds I'll consider reliable. For a pistol, usually several hundred. This equates to roughly the same number of full magazines run through the gun.

I think this is pretty solid and pretty much reflects my POV. I'd rather it be a thousand but I wouldn't give up over 500. OTOH my favorite defensive pistols over a three decades; 1911s, BHPs, Glocks, have all done much better than that.
