87, no more, no less, usually.

You mean a single failure to function, or complete and absolute failure...which sometimes may be the same round count. 87 sounds about right - on average... |

I don't know but my TLE II has passed 10k rounds recently and nothing on the gun ever broke. All factory stock except for Heinie Slant Pro sight, S&M MSH and Wood grips.
The Series I Target I have is going to reach 10k round this year (9,500 rounds so far) and nothing broke on that one either. It too is factory stock except for Bomar sight, S&M MSH and Wood grips. The Series I Ultra Carry is around 5,000 rounds now but I had to replace the extractor and the slide stop while in the break-in stage. Still factory stock except S&M MSH and wood grips. |

In theory it shouldn't be any different than any other 1911. Replace the springs every couple thousand rounds and you'll likely go 20,30,40k rounds without needing to replace anything else. I think I've read that most barrels will go 100k rounds or more without loosing their accuracy (to a certain degree). |

Maybe I am on crack, but I swear every time I turn around there is a new post with your name on it. You have authored 7 topics on the first page of the handgun forum at the time I entered it. What would be great is if you could consolidate all of your questions into one post. Maybe it's the crack, but I swear you are f*#king with us.
-breathe deep, relax...- I've got a bunch of Kimbers. Most of them have several thousand rounds on them. Some parts, such as recoil springs on the smaller ones, need to be replaced every 800 - 1000 rounds. Barrel life varies, but figure at least 5000 rounds or more. But I digress. 87 sounds about right. |

Post count means exactly jack shit.
No problem asking questions, no reason to make that many different threads when they are all handgun related questions. |

I getting my 1st 1911 and I decided on Springfield because of the warranty. It is much better then the Kinber 1 year warranty. Both seem to be built about the same with quality parts. The Springfield has a life time no nonsence warranty. |
