How many rounds can I do?
When I pick up my RIA .45 in 10 days, I was wondering, how many rounds can I pump down range? Is it like a true GI model (what I shot in the Army) were I can pump 150 rounds per shooting session?
The reason I ask, with one of my two 9mm in Germany, I cracked the slide just under the eject port from firing it too much. My usual was from 50 to 100 rounds each range visit. I forgot the brand name, because my smith junked it for me, I didn't want it any more. But my Star BM (9mm) would keep the lead flying, never a glitch. Gosh, how I miss that pistol!

Almost forgot......what about compatible parts? I touched on this in an earlier post, but would like the specifics, remember Jon is slow on the uptake!

A couple hundred a day should not be any problem with a good 1911, I'd shoot more but shoulders will not take it anymore. I am shooting an old Colt LW Commander and a Taurus. I have backed off on the Colt in recent years, but shoot it at least 3-4 times a year.

Jon, there are more parts available for the 1911 than for any other handgun, I think. The Brownells catalog must have 50 pages of parts for 1911's!
I seriously doubt you'll wear out a 1911, unless you never lubricate it, or try to turn it into some super magnum. Change the springs every 10,000 rounds, and you're good to go.

jon,
IF your slide is going to crack by X number or rounds, it will not matter if you fire that X number on Day One, Day Two or 5 years from now. Go shoot to your heart's content and let the "Pot Metal" fall where it may. LOL. Adam

You should be able to do as many rounds a day as you want and with RIA all standard parts should work.
