Quote History Quoted:
20 years of competition shooting and various plinking and you never thought to do a PM on the pistol and replace the parts that require replacing after a given # of rounds shot ? This is like the LEO thread that states they don't believe in performing PM on pistols they use to defend their life with- Funny isn't it ?

Parts were switched out: various iterations of custom trigger parts, guide rod/recoil springs for different loads/uses, etc. That's why I have an ammo can full of glock parts. When I shot this gun in competition it went to matches, particularly regional matches, with spare parts.
This gun was also a carry gun- for years I carried it in southern Arizona while backpacking and hiking on photography trips. when I left on these trips I always installed the stock trigger and recoil spring, which had seen relatively little use.
So, it WAS maintained, after a fashion, but not on a schedule. If I had it to do over again, I would keep a record of parts installed/rounds fired. I compete in Palma and mid range target rifle events, and my competitive rifles each have a notebook with that kind of data.
