So what are your high mileage round counts?

I got a S&W 22A around a dozen years ago to shoot it with my sons. We put over 100,000 rounds through it together. The gun had several firing pins broken, the sight rib, the frame and also the hammer spring.

Still shoots well but is now more in the back of the safe. The main reason why I bought the 22A, was that my sons were a bit rough on my nice rimfire pistols and refinishing one of them would have cost more than this little plinker.

I have over 100k through my gen 3 glock 17. Replaced the recoil spring at about 45k. No failures aside from a few when I was testing a korean mag.
 
I have a Colt Gold Cup that is going on 30 years and I can’t give you an actual round count over that 30 years but it’s the only 45 ACP that I shoot a lot. For the last 10 years I buy 1000 lead bullets every year and most of them are shot through the cup. So that puts a minimum at 10,000 in the past 10 years.
I know that’s not the accuracy you’re asking for but it’s the best I can do.
In that time the pin that holds the rear sight has fallen out. The frame was showing a little battering so I put a recoil buffer in it (it’s only a target gun) and other than magazines it’s never had another problem.
The other gun is a hand built S&W 28 that was modified to 44 SP that is over 25 years in my collection and again I don’t keep round counts but its more than the Gold Cup. Never a single problem in that time.
The one accurate count is my Glock 26. Other than a couple that a friend shot when I let him borrow it is 3000 +/_ 100. I have replaced the main spring with a metal spring guide and better spring. Sights just because the plastic were crap. The gun has never had a failure of any kind including magazine.
 
The only high-round count guns I own are two that I've used in USPSA and IDPA competition over the last fifteen years. One is a moderately customized Colt M1991A1 .45, the other, a full-house custom, longslide Caspian .45; I think both guns have about 15,000 rounds through them.
I doubt I've put more than 2000 rounds through any other gun I own, though lots of them have seen over 1000.
 
I have a glock model 22 that I purchased as a used police pistol. I have put 2,500 rounds threw it. I had 3 ftf due to worn magazine springs. My groupings started getting worse so I sent it to Glock. They replaced the firing pin, barrel, trigger assembly, front sight and recoil spring for free. I don't know how many rounds were shot threw it before I got it but I does look used. I have not had one issue since the replacement parts and accuracy has improved. I have 500 rounds since the replacements.
