If you don't wear out the muzzle by cleaning it...YOU SHOULD LIVE SO LONG!

Ah, you did mean to type "250,000" didn't you?

I shoot pretty often so I was wondering what the lifespan average is. I guess I don't need to worry about it...

CMOS;yes. Polyganol rifling "in theory"does not wear out.

I know of several Glock 17's that have shot 50,000-60,000 at a local rental range, the barrel of the one I looked at still looked in great shape. I suspect that you'll have trouble wearing out the barrel of your gun.

Hello. In practical terms, the bbl's lifespan is infinite. Best.
