I have 2 stainless wheel guns a 460xvr and a 686+ Talo.
love shooting them both, and they only see magnum cartridges. That's why I bought magnums after all. Anyway it got me thinking about the life expectancy. Actually it was reading about a Chiapa in another thread that made me think about it. But these guns are no chiapa.
what should I expect?
right now I have about 350 ish though both of them. The xvr shows some discoloring but no wear and the 686 could be put back in the box and sold for new. My semi pistols get shot much more (5k a year ish) but in the case of the semi I know I can drop in a barrel and keep going for a long time. Revolvers not so easy to do.
