2,000 rounds is not that many to go without cleaning and expect a gun to work. I've done this with both 1911s and at least three of the glocks I own. I suppose if anything, it would give you a lot of confidence in your gun. Especially if it's your EDC.

The only reason I'd hesitate to do that now is its so much harder to find good deals on ammo because you can't ship it.

Good luck you those doing it.

Easier to do with a .22 but you’ll get a lot of stoppages!

I did this before it was cool. It's called being lazy after range days and just not cleaning my guns. Not sure if I ever made it to 2000 rounds but definitely over a 1000 rounds with no hiccups.

I always do 2700 rnds with any new gun for CCW / competition or tactical trianing...

- field strip, clean and lubricate and reassemble
- 100 rounds of duty / defense ammo (currently Federal HST 124 gr +P)
- 2500 rnds FMJ
- 100 rnds duty / defense ammo
- field strip, clean and lubricate and reassemble

Gun must function without stoppage or malfunction. I have never had a stock service pistol fail. nor would I expect one to. Guns that I have subjected to this test;

- customized Springfield SS 1911
- customized Colt SS Combat Commander
- SiG P220
- Sig P226
- Sig P228
- HK VP9
- Gock 19

I have no intention of ever cleaning my G19 unless I've just been in a sandstorm or went swimming with it.

I did do this test on several pistols past 3 years.

One that failed miserably was the MP9. Guide rod cracked. Replaced no more issues. Currently testing the glock 19x and gen5 17

Any stock pistol should be up to this challenge. 2000 rounds isn’t that much.

But I definitely didn’t think 1911s could go dry that long. I was under the impression that 1911s were finnicky that way...especially the tighter built ones. But I don’t know.

No...and there is no reason to. I just shoot, track the rounds and note performance. Then I take it to a class.
