before prices went up I shot about 500 rounds a week of various calibers and weapons.
I also reload so that allowed me to shoot a little cheaper than buying ammo. Not now though.
The Brigadier I am referring to probably has 5 thousand or more rounds through it.
I live way out in the country and have my own 100 yard range. I also shot competition
for about ten years. I now train others in the use of defensive weapons. This includes
various things other than firearms. I also worked in Law enforcement and for Uncle Sam
for more years than I should have. So to answer your question, I shoot and have shot a lot......
My Glock 19 probably has 3000 rounds through it.
The S&W Model 10 I used to compete with had countless rounds through it
as did the National Match 1911 I used. There would literally be no way to count the rounds in those two.
Ruger Standard model .22lr I would bet has broke 10,000 rounds but I couldn't be sure. It would have to be close though.

Those Toks are excellent weapons. Seem to last forever.
And quite reasonable in price normally.
