If your commute to work was 20 miles, would you buy tires that went flat after 21 consecutive miles?

Nobody applies that "logic" to any other aspect of their lives, so why would you apply it to a carry gun?

I didn't hear him say that. He's saying that a gun that requires cleaning and lubing after five hundred rounds, or it starts increasingly to fumble, isn't a handgun that you necessarily need to worry about carrying for self-defense, so long as you've never had a fumble prior to that number of rounds before a clean/lube, and you only carry it in a clean and lubed condition.
