Pistol: Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm (full size, mag safety, no lockout)
Caliber: 9x19mm
Ammunition: CCI Blazer (aluminum) 115gr; Federal 124gr +p HST
Dates of testing: 25-April-08 through 2-May-08
Total rounds fired: 2,299

Stoppages: zero
Malfunctions: zero
Breakages: zero

Notes: pistol had 519 rounds through it at time test began. There had been no(*) stoppages of any kind prior to the test beginning. Pistol was only lightly oiled per M&P manual before testing.

(*) Upon receiving the pistol, I immediately brought it to an armorer for a trigger change. Armorer forgot to re-install the ejector when putting the gun back together. In the first 50 rounds loaded in the gun, 20 resulted in failures to eject. I am not counting that first 50 rounds in the gun's "life cycle" for this reason. To the M&P's credit, it ejected 2/3 of the time without an ejector installed!

Notes: I'm starting to pitty these poor, filthy dirty guns. They were all cleaned, and I'm going back to cleaning regularly now. I actually feel ashamed of myself.

Also, for what its worth, all pistols were lubricated with a 75% Moly high tack grease cut with 25% non detergent medium-heavy machine oil (from Mobil). The moly grease was LubriMoly CV joint grease. I find grease too thick, and oil too thin.

Location: Rockville, MD
Pistol: Heckler & Koch P30 V4
Caliber: 9x19mm
Ammunition: American Eagle 115gr; Atlanta Arms & Ammo 115gr TCJ; CCI Blazer 115gr; Federal 124gr +p HST (1)
Dates of testing: 2-Jul-09 through 8-Jul-09
Total rounds fired: 2,001

Stoppages: zero
Malfunctions: zero
Breakages: zero

Notes: This pistol had just shy of 10,000 rounds through it before the test began. Intermittent extraction problems had cropped up repeatedly and precluded the ability to run the gun for 2,000 rounds without maintenance. A trip back to HK-USA appears to have solved the trouble. Upon receiving the gun back from their gunsmith, the pistol was moderately cleaned, lubricated with Militec, and then proceeded to fire 2,001 rounds without any trouble over the course of three range sessions: 1,000 rounds, 300 rounds, and finally 701 rounds.

Pistol: Smith & Wesson M&P9c
Caliber: 9mm
Ammunition: 1,268 Winchester White Box 115gr FMJ; 350 Remington UMC 115gr FMJ; 200 Blazer Aluminum 115gr FMJ; 150 Federal Champion 115gr FMJ; 55 Speer Gold Dot 124gr +P; 1 CCI 9mm Shotshell
Dates of testing: April 24, 2009 to November 21, 2009
Total rounds fired: 2,024

Stoppages: zero
Malfunctions: zero
Breakages: zero

Notes: The pistol had fired 391 rounds prior to test; no malfunctions or stoppages occurred during that period. The pistol was field stripped and cleaned per owner's manual instructions and lubricated with Militec-1 on the barrel and Valvoline High Mileage 20w-50 on all other contact points prior to the beginning of the test. No stoppages of any kind were experienced during the 2,024 rounds; even the shotshell cycled the action correctly and ejected without a problem.

2200 rounds with no malfunctions, first 200 rounds fired in Montreal on Feb 1st 2010, hit 2200 on Tues Feb 23.
Rounds 2201-2204 failed to feed properly, my fault as I'd screwed around with my new seating die and loaded them all too long. Put that ammo aside and fired another 200 rounds of proper reloads with no issues. Prior to first firing I swapped out the hammer and springs for competition ones (lighter). Very happy with the gun and it's performance so far. Trigger is far better than my Tanfoglio, with a much much nicer reset. Probably do a cleaning on it this weekend after class Friday.
