This 1911 has 26k+ through it. I have had to replace a broken extractor and have had to re-stake the plunger tube once. I keep a round count on a spreadsheet and note of any malfunctions. This gun will run 3.5k at at 100%. Sometimes 4k at 100%. The recoil spring is the weak link.
I have another 1911 (different brand that cost more) with 15k through it that won't run 100 rounds without a stovepipe.
