I like about 500 rounds of whatever ammo I can stuff magazines with and 100 rounds of my carry ammo. With that said I don't really begin to trust the gun until I hit the 1000 round mark. I've had a couple parts breakages over the years between the 500 and 1000 round mark. Seems that if something is going to wreck it will happen somewhere in there, after that it's routine maintenance stuff and the gun will run trouble free.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
